I agree that some events should carry over, and I'd be perfectly content to wind up Part I with a pretty competent reasonably equipped character, Part II with a damn good one with a equally good gear, Part III with a Cyberpunk street legend (Johnny, Alt, etc.). There's no need and no reason a character has to make buckets of IP in Part I then start over as a dweeb in II, and again as rat catcher in III.I'd like them to plan a little more than that, just to make sure that, if it does turn into a trilogy where each is a direct sequel of the previous one, choices can be carried-forward into the next game. But I'd also agree that they shouldn't plan too far, I'd hate them to end up cutting content from Part I just so they could put it in Part II.
I have no clue how many installments of CP2077 CDPR has in mind, only a gut feeling they plan more then one. And I'd prefer the "campaign" revolve around a single character not one each game ... or one that magically turns into an unskilled punk with a dull butter knife between installments.
