Corpo (because Meredith), semi-stealthy netrunner. Then nomad techie. Third playthrough: street kid - full blown melee solo.
I will probably go for Street kid first because that was the feeling of the first trailer, then Nomad for that Mad Max feeling and last Corpo. Love the re-playability of this game thru these choices.
Personally, I'm going with Nomad first. 2077's Night City is so different and new to what we all know, so I think it'll be fun to be new to the city as V, too. They're as new to the city as we, the player, are. I like the idea of smuggling something through the border checkpoint and heading into the city, learning about it, how it works, etc. Learning everything alongside V. That way when I go through another lifepath, like Street Kid and Corpo, I'll have that insider knowledge that those versions of V will have.
After the LP there is a 6 month time jump. So actually you are not learning about the city the same time as V as V has a 6 month head start on you.....
I did decide on nomad earlier.. But starting to lean towards corpo now. I think Ill get better replayability that way, and see more from an angle I havnt seen the game/lore/universe from yet.
In a game in which the main story will probably take place over the course of a few months, 6 months comparatively is a long time.
I feel like this is useless nitpicking. The point is, Nomad V is the newest to the city of the three options and is the closest to being as new as us, the player.
I'm partial to "playing myself" on a first run of a game that allows a degree of Role Play and customization. I'm a burly punk that loves messing with tech. My MFA also translates well into Intelligence and being a Corpo. You live your life as part of the system in society. Corpo matches that. I mean, it was a close tie between Corp and Street (don't ask), but Corpo it was...also, it seems like it'll be a bit more interesting and dynamic. I'll be spending more of my time on the street so it'll be more immersive on a first playthrough if I don't automatically know a bunch of stuff about the game. A sheltered corporate stooge that get's thrust into the wild city streets. Works out nicely.
What?! No! Playing against the min-maxing meta is illegal! /s
Jokes aside, I'm probably going to do just that as well.
The funny thing is that I still might end up somewhat min maxed. My dexterity/reflexes are terrible, lol.
I was going to pick Street Kid first(because I'm cliché and couldn't help myself) but after a few months, I'm leaning so much harder towards Nomad. I have a whole list for my playthroughs(just like DA) for what I'm playing as and who. Corpo is unfortunately down a long line.
Yeah, that's my train of thought for going Nomad for 1st playthrough. I'll discover NC just as my Nomad is. Might even help with the roleplay. It just fits well for me, especially since I never played the p&p.
Also it allows me to get used to gameplay mechanics before entering NC and increases the anticipation of doing so at the same time. Hopefully.
Post automatically merged:
Same order for me too
Nomad, male. No nonsense, straight forward type. More honest than most and loyal to his chosen family. Tinkering, modding. Likes loud guns and the direct approach.
Corpo, male. Cunning above all things. Doesn't trust anyone but doesn't just go around being an ass for the sake of it. Likes revenge unless it's counterproductive. Restrained weapon use if possible.
Streetkid, female. Chaotic and unpredictable but believes in having/needing a few close friends for mutual protection and safety. Hard to win over but steadfast when you do. Likes revenge even if it is counter-productive. Mixture of any outstanding gameplay styles I haven't tried yet. Or maybe a 'best of 'compilation if I've experienced most of it.
