I'm currently on my second play through, and one of the things I've been trying to do is upgrade my character as far as possible before The Heist; so I've been doing as many of the Assault in Progress, Organised Crime Activity, and minor gigs as I can. So far the things that I've discovered I can't do are:
I can't leave the city, at least in a car (I'll admit I haven't yet tried just walking out);
I can't enter the Afterlife, which means I don't meet Panam;
I can meet Judy, but I don't think I can start her quest cycle;
I haven't been offered any cars to buy.
On the other hand, I can
both find and buy legendary weapons;
upgrade my cyberware, including to legendary;
craft epic weapons (I suspect I'd be able to craft legendary if I'd earned enough perks).
Obviously, we know, or at least I believe, that no matter how good you are when you do The Heist, you can't save either Jackie of T-Bug, and I'm guessing the Arasaka guards who chase us out of the Hotel will scale to give a challenge no matter how upgraded my character is. But...
Are there other things you know can't be done in Act One? Are there any other things it would be interesting to find out if I can do?
