I would love to see “Big Trouble in Heywood” become a replayable activity after completing the “Following the River” quest.
The AR game with River’s kids is one of those small moments that makes the characters and Night City feel more alive. The game already has multiple rounds, its own gameplay mechanics, dialogue, and a unique atmosphere, so it would be great if V could return to River’s family and play it with the kids again after the quest is completed.
This would not need to provide any money, XP, Street Cred, or other rewards. It could simply be an optional activity that allows the player to spend some time with the family and replay the mini-game whenever they want.
I think small repeatable interactions like this would make the relationships with side characters feel more meaningful even after their questlines are finished. And honestly, if the kids ask V for a rematch, I would absolutely want to play again.
