That seems to be RLKing's thing.

CP2020 has a fairly realistic combat system and CP2077 is unlikely to be a "twitch" shooter.
Look at "Kingdom Come Deliverance", nice looking game (well once they iron a few bugs out) but combat, lockpicking, heck even sharpening your sword are all "twitch" activities. Nice as the game looks, as much as I'd like to play it, not gonna happen because of the developers choice to make it ultimately a "twitch" game with regard to basic game mechanics.

To answer the question: Bearded, grumpy looking, worn out combat boots, clean undershirt, outdated issued pants, a 30 pack under one arm, and a toolkit held in the free hand. Messy brown hair, soft hazel eyes. And since it's cyberpunk, a lot of exo-skin covering up old scars so he doesn't have to answer one of the worlds dumbest questions "Where'd you get those scars?". He'd be 5'8" tall, and a little "thicc" (muscular but endomorphic). He'd have no papers or information on him and only cares about tinkering, booze, high priced (And clean) escorts, gaming, and staying away from trouble as much as possible. Under his left foot would be a tattoo of his SSN/DOB/Blood type/Religion/Name, an old tat just "In case he got blown the fuck up." for identification. An unfinished Medusa Head tattoo on his back over the right kidney section. No family, an owner of a cat, has a close friend who's a roommate. Keeps a pistol with one mag LTL(Less Than Lethal) loaded, and the free mag 45. Talon shells (Or Cyberpunk Equivalent.). Tends to use his toolkit like an old lady purse when a mugger gets snippy with him; and the toolkit has an old ass "Red Castle" on it. The man is a veteran and ex-merc but only talks about it with fellow veterans and close friends, and yet still "Marches" everywhere he walks, albeit quietly. Last but not least, he almost always has earplugs in when at home or on the job tinkering.
Old "Colonial Marines" pic gives the best idea how he looks.

I played TW3 in "Story" (EZ) mode.Snowflakez;n10543142 said:That's up to you, but I'm a little surprised you're willing to play TW3 but not KCD.
I certainly don't think they should go the Pillars or Balsur's route. The format they have now is just fine. I'd just like to see less "twitch' and QTE elements. While no doubt many, MANY, people prefer KCDs combat over TW3s it's just not something I can handle.Snowflakez;n10543142 said:It is, in my opinion, one of the best examples of an actual "Action RPG." It is what an ARPG should be. But it does have its problems.
If they make future titles, I actually wouldn't want them to go full CRPG, a la Pillars of Eternity or Baldur's Gate. That's not what Kingdom Come is. It's an ARPG, and it should stay an ARPG, but I hope they keep making more games and improving mechanics over time.

Wars prove one thing to me: History can be as destructive as Nature.
But. As I'm a very contradictory person, I'm not a pacifist either.
On the one hand, this world is not an idealistic place, so guns, soldiers and armies are inevitable. On the other hand, the idealistic notion of a completely 'peaceful' society has also been criticized (think about H. G. Wells and his elois... who wants to be an eloi? I believe that would be terrible).
As I said, I have nothing against armies or soldiers. They're just this huge, immense, force that can be used for the better of for the worst. It really depends on the country, on the ruler class' interests, on the zeitgeist. So many variables.
I have written a short story in which there's a guy who is a General. He is brilliant and far from a good guy. But I know there are military out there who aren't "evil", much to the contrary: they try to be as good as this world allows them to be. Like the majority of us.
On a side note, many of my favorite writers have fought in wars. Actually, if you want to learn about human nature, especially the dark side of it, read soldiers' memoirs. I respect what they say, because they have lived the extreme freedom war provides. You won't see many of them talking lightly or casually about war (and you'll see Camus was right when he said freedom or justice, freedom in this case, aren't always 'positive' values).
Ok, that is just my (not very thoughtful) opinion. The number of people who have died because of their opinions throughout History is infinite, but, anyway, that's my opinion.
All right, "I should go now".

Too young to talk about any life experience. Just dropping by saying "hello". Cool thread, worth taking notes.
