Maybe you'll meet Ninja. As an actual Arasaka Ninja. Literally, why not now?

I mean, I guess there are many ways that I agree with you, but I guess I would also still be willing to see them if it's done in a really good way. I guess fear is the biggest driving factor here. I am also very scared that seeing a bunch of people from 2020 walking around inside of Cyberpunk in 2077 will shatter the immersion for me, but then of course there's Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand. I guess the main reason why I feel that wont shatter my immersion is the fact that such a good job seems to have been done for Keanu Reevs/Johnny Silverhand that I am able to actually temporarily forget its Keanu Reeves and really "FEEL" the Johnny Silverhand. It's done so skillfully and tastefully that I am able to not just overlook it, but also enjoy it. Then again, I am also a fan of Keanu Reeves, which plays a factor I'm sure. So It's not so simple.
So really I guess, Fear or No fear, It all depends on how CDPR does it.
Yea I gotta agree with that.Professional actors/actresses are the only exception for me. I guess the reason is that I see them in fictional settings playing different roles all the time, so I tend to disassociate them from real life people.
Putting influencers, many of whom review video games, almost feels like putting an ad in the game. It's basically 1 degree of freedom from putting a Coca-Cola ad in Witcher 3, and about equally as immersion-breaking.
i was one of the people who were not completely aboard with keanu reeves being johnny silverhand but after seeing the full pacifica demo (which i saw 8 times) i was completely sold not only on keanu reeves but johnny silverhand as a companion,keanu reeves delivery was incredibly good and he is not shoehorned like i was expecting,he stays silent when you expect him to and talks when you expect him to,i really enjoyed the dialogues as well,i can see why Cdpr said that Keanu reeves added alot of personality to his character and it shows,it felt like this is johnny silverhand not keanu reeves.I mean, I guess there are many ways that I agree with you, but I guess I would also still be willing to see them if it's done in a really good way.

Yea, the most important part is that it's done tastefully and with passion. If every single person from 2020 in Cyberpunk2077 is done tastefully and with passion, I would gladly accept it. But that's no simple task.

I like Alanah's voice so I could see it working. I'll wait to see the results before judging.
So I see this as just another type of easter egg. A lot of the "arguments" people are using against this could also easily be applied to any other easter egg/ reference cdpr puts in game.
I mean I doubt people would be as worked up agaisnt something like, a cybertruck being found in game? But the way I see this its the same thing, just on a very-slightly larger scale.
I just personally dont see why this is such a contreversial addition.
Easter eggs are called that because they are hidden and intentionally not easily noticable.
A character with voice lines and a side quest is entirely different.
A more appropriate comparison to an easter egg would be if Alanah's signature were on a wall in Night City. I wouldn't really care about that, because it's not in-your-face immersion breaking, nor do I care if she voice acts a character in the game.

Shrug, its not like the game forces you to interact or references, or alludes to the real person in any way shape or form. Its just her likeness.
And "easter egg" is a pretty broad term nowadays for any sort of in game reference to irl/other games/media.. but if you take issue with the term just pretend I said reference, or something/
Out of curiosity, how would you feel if say, Tiger Woods, had a side quest in the Witcher 3? I mean, his likeness and voice, not him playing golf in the game. Would it affect your Witcher 3 experience and immersion?
I would think thats cool for people who are fans of tiger woulds and not care, the same as right now. I dont understand the point of the question as its literally the same scenario as right now, so of course my thoughts are the same.
Of course in that scenario I would be a bit confused as to the cross over of tiger-woods fans and the witcher fans and be confused as to why have him in the game since he isnt related in anyway, but thats irrelevent because I assume thats not why you put up this hypothetical.
The point of the hypothetical was seeing if including a person alive in 2020 in a medieval setting would affect your immersion in that world. From you answer, I guess you are just immune to having your immersion broken, which is honestly good for you. I wish I could have that same immunity haha.
The problem is having content like side quests that revolves around these youtubers/streamers,easter eggs are usually things that are very hard to find and can easily be ignored if it breaks immersion,i personally wouldn't mind if they are in the game but had empty content or just some dialogues here and there,but according to people who have played the game this does not seem the case.Frankly, if having some RL people as NPC's breaks immersion for somebody, then what about all the easter eggs which will be in the game? Those will also break immersion, even more so, when you think about it.
I don't know what's worse: the pandering to influencers by CDPR or "sheeples" being used unironically in this thread
