For me, Street Cred needs to be based on the burroughs, or districts, of Night City that you are in. Any bonuses or such will only affect you if you have that much Cred in the district.
Perhaps splitting Street Cred into Night City Cred (max 10), based on main quests and certain side quests, and District Cred (max 40), based on all fixer gigs for that district, for the total of 50 (current max). Maybe your overall SC score could be an average of all six districts?
So, the more quests for Pacifica and the VooDoo Boys, the higher your Cred for that area, but it will have no impact on your Cred for Watson. Why would the Tyger Claws in Japantown care a whit about what you did for a rival gang in another district?
Also, along those same lines, I'd like to see gang affiliation/reputation included. Help the Mox, Tyger Claw rep diminishes, help the Animals, the VooDoo Boys rep drops.
This would slow down leveling of this attribute, but perhaps other attributes could be slowed as well,, making it so that you don't max out too early.
Thoughts?
