Hey all,
After seeing a few threads on this post, I've been loving the game since I got it on PS5. Dunno if these posts will get to the right people at CDPR but one can hope.
Anywho, here's a few suggestions I had for maybe the CP2077 sequel since I'm not seeing the current game getting these kinds of updates any time soon.
Quest lines
- Max Tac
Accompany Max Tac on a few jobs and be forced to reevaluate your views on Cyber Psychos. Varied missions that range from your typical gonk gone mad to more tragic scenarios and be forced to choose whether to save or spare your targets.
- Trauma Team
Accompany Trauma Team on missions to save and retrieve Platinum status clients from dangerous situations (burning buildings, firefights, etc) while also trying to keep as many of your teammates alive as possible.
Could include mini-games that have the player character trying to resuscitate the Platinum client while under fire.
- NCPD
As with River Ward, go on various NCPD assignments and either earn favor with the NCPD or work against them and their corrupt policies.
Find clues, review crime scenes, collect evidence, and give players the option of how to handle a case. Maybe the crime was victimless and they let the suspect walk or maybe they're dealing with serial killer with money and connections that will walk if they don't act outside the law.
- Corpo jobs (Araksaka, Militech, Kiroshi, etc)
Open jobs posted by various Corpos that can either earn you favor with whomever you align yourself with, or a vendetta.
Jobs can be anything from corporate espionage, sabotage, kidnappings, theft, or outright assassinations.
- Racing
I would love more quest lines based on the racing scene set up in the first game.
Would also like the ability to repeat races or compete whenever you want.
Gang vendettas
- You now have some form of rep/ karma with each gang
- Gangs will react to you depending on your rep with them
- Some will antagonize and attack on site while others will greet and compliment you
- Depending on your rep, gangs will either offer forms of protection in the form of safe houses, weapon stashes, etc, or they will put hit contracts out out on you that other characters (maybe friendly fixes) may warn you about.
Corpo hit squads/ contracts
- Depending on whom you align yourself with and your reputation as a Legend of Night City, both gangs and Corpos can put out open contracts on you whether this be to steal something from you, delay your progress, or to take you out.
- Enemies that get hired can range from ordinary street gangers, high level netrunners, and even professional corpo assassins with some of the best chrome and tech that eddies can buy.
Cyberpsychosis
- If the quality of the gear you buy is over your level, you begin to experience CP in the form of everything pausing, the screen going static, and you appearing in a random scene of carnage.
- Could be in the midst of corpses, could be in the middle of a chase or firefight with NCPD/ Max Tac, hostage situation, etc.
- Could include flashes of places and people the player has interacted with to further immerse the player that their character is losing their mind.
More car chases with passenger first person shooting as in the opening levels.
More random acts of violence in Night City. With such a high crime rate, there should be more random events in the open world that may or may not involve the player. Gives the city more life.
During shoot outs, announce Max Tac has been called and show them arriving by ship.
Have Max Tac and NCPD give chase when at a 4 star or above Wanted level.
When being chased by NCPD/ Max Tac, gangs whom you have good karma with will give you safe houses to lay low until your wanted level goes down.
Past decisions from previous game having more impact on the characters and the narrative.
Give the player character the ability to dual wield one-handed weapons such as pistols or knives while sacrificing accuracy.
Weapons, quickhacks, mods, upgrades, etc. all carry over from previous game and are available to be used right away but are eventually stripped away in the story progression and you have to steadily get them back or choose a different path (netrunner instead of solo or vice versa). Maybe raise the level cap to 100.
Braindances – actually being able to collect and view braindances that you can buy in shops. Most have no story significance. They’re just fun in-game cutscenes you can collect. Could be BDs of movies, music, art, or smut. Even some like the BD you find for David Martinez from Edgerunners.
Players should be able to take mind-altering substances and have effects in game. Alcohol has an effect but considering how much lore is in NC for crime and drug use, there should also be some funny effects for when a player decides to use a substance in game.
When you mark an area on the map and you're driving to it, the guide on the map can be very distracting. If there was some kind of guide on screen that didn't take away from being able to appreciate Night City as you're driving through it, that would be awesome.
