The case for first person cutscenes

Maybe they'll have a third person perspective photo mode. I think that's the best you can hope for.

I think using the spider bot to shoot photos, or maybe a little quad copter camea drone, would be a great way to shoot photos in-game & lore-friendly. But if not, i'm about 99% sure the debug console allows you to move the camera at will, just like in Witcher 3.

Yeah those options would be pretty interesting. Unfortunately debugging for myself would be a no go as I would be playing on an Xbox, so hopefully they add in an intriguing and original way of taking photos.

I've heared some people say that "you are not V, since V is a separate person with his/her own personality", and the player is not completely free in defining who V is. So me saying "You ARE V" - at least understood that way - might be a bit inaccurate: V indeed isn't you, the player.

Still, i stick to the point: You are V. Not by being the same person - but by experiencing the world of Cyberpunk in his skin, seeing it through his eyes.

This kind of direct but foreign sourced experience is actually a staple of the cyberpunk genre: Think of movies like "Strange Days" where you use a SQUID-Device to record and experience life of other people, or SimSense / Better Than Life chips in the world of Shadowrun. Or, in more conventional media: you are the actor directly improvising the role of V - not just a person watching an interactive movie guiding V.
