Hello!
Time again for another post. Always with a poll, if I can help it!
This topic was touched upon the other day in another post/poll I made:
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/price-of-commodities-cyberware-cars-etc.11011318/.
Think Witcher 3 for example. In the game you have your armour and your weapons. They protect you and allow you to defend yourself(or hunt monsters). At the price of deterioration.
Every armor piece and weapon(almost) has a durability meter that tick down from use. Eventually they are useless and you need to repair them. You may even maintain them while on the road with certain tools.
So when writing my other post regarding cyberware, it got me thinking:
Should cyberware also have a certain quality aspect, depending on manufacturer or price?
Should they have deterioration or a durability stat, getting worse from use, neglection of maintenance or repair? Maybe even at different paces, with pricey cyberware deteriorating slower than cheap cyberware.
Or, maybe, cyberware might be in much worse state/condition from the start, since you refused to pay for quality and went to that ripper doc with the shady-as hell-connections. *Does*Not*Compute*ERROR*
Now, I'm not saying your low-price-certainly harvested from some poor sod in a dark alley-optical scanner, or subdermal grip, shall start beeping error just when you need them the most. Or am I?
I was more thinking Witcher 3, that they are next to useless from wear or tear, until you repair them. Or file a complaint.
Come to think of it, a game has done this very thing before regarding implants. I will avoid spoilers, and so should you if you haven't played it, but do you remember Deus Ex: Human Revolution?
Early on in the game you get these glitches and they have to be fixed. Spoiler ahead:
End of spoiler, but remember that the problem was introduced early on. In the very beginning in fact, as Adam has just returned from his recuperation. That experience was awesome!
I do hope CDPR will not only have weapon and armour deterioration, but cyberware deterioration as well.
Not only from taking the brunt of an EMP blast, but also depending on make, model, manufacturer and obviously, from which supplier you got the cyberware.
I'm looking at you, Scavs!
So what do you think?
Shall there be difference in cyberware, depending on already mentioned variables?
Should they deteriorate from use so that you need to maintain them or visit a shop to repair them?
I'll allow two votes for this poll.
Best regards!

That glitching and twitching of your vision start again several chapters into the game, and then you hear of a worldwide biochip replacement.
