Two things that I didn't see in my first playthru but happens in this one?

[Bearded Geek]

I know I was staring intensely at tutorials, arguing about the endings and tried to make my controller a decent tool for aiming at people but:

In my first play"thru" (never finished, got to lvl 31 / last third of act II story wise) I never noticed:

1. Maelstrom creating roadblocks at night with burning cars and having parties by them (at lvl 8, act I I have seen two of them so far)
2. Car chases? Three times I have come across car chases where there's a rolling shootout between gang members and police while driving.

Since both playthroughs have been in v1.61 I don't think there is any more to it than me just not paying attention (tho having to ram a blockade to get thru with the car is not easy to miss).

Maelstrom roadblocks are quite frequent in Northside at night, am sure they've been there since early release.

Car/police chases are a new one, I think added with 1.5?

Yep, roadblocks are in the game since day one.
There was a "famous" one at time. During Blistering Love when Rogue was driving to reach the Ebunike. She was going right into it. It was quite hilarious

Not 1.6 ?
(Not sure. But yeah, it's very recent, recognizable with the yellow NCPD icon)
