Here’s some more Screenshots from Cyberpunk. Did you know this game had a photo mode, because i didn’t. It’s resulted in some pretty images such as this one of some holo-fish:
The fish also brings me to my next point, I completed the opening and unlocked the rest of the city. My opinion of the world has gone up ten fold. Just wandering around the city feels like an actual city. It doesn’t feel like a scaled down or shrunk city like some other games. This one feels like a genuine, authentic, west coast city (at least to me). I spent a ton of time just riding the metro around and it felt like riding an actual metro. I like that they gave you the option of sitting through the whole ride. It makes the travel a lot more fun and i saw a bunch of fun sights, like a rollercoaster. This screenshot i took right after getting off the Subway:
The photo mode has also resulted in some interesting poses, due to me accidentally pushing the wrong button and entering photo mode mid action. Such as this one from the Opening:
or this one where it looks like i’m smelling Stout’s hand (that’s probably why she was so violent at first):
Overall i’m really loving this game’s story and world though. It feels kind of like if Fallout and Baldur’s Gate had a child. It has a lot of story options that can be impacted from what i tell and it controls kind of like fallout 4.
From a purely architectural point of view i think you’d be hard pressed to find a better video game city than Night City. Scale too, like you mentioned. I always hold Paris in AC: Unity in really high regard too, but Cyberpunk is on another level in terms of complexity and verticality.
AC Unity’s Paris has to be one of my Favorite video game Cities of all time. it can be a bit repetitive in some places but everything is the perfect distance for climbing and when you come across a landmark it’s amazing
I was like. Hey I recognize this one. You sorta missed out as the game mechanics were massively changed. In the old version I could not really do a jack of all trades but in the new one I found jack of all trades works out great.
Your still limited in your distribution and there are tradeoffs. So you will not be able to do 20 stat checks for all stats and you will not have access to level 20 perks but its a pretty small amount of stuff. So its possible but its not like the generalist can do everything a min maxer can do in their maxed stats. Its pretty generous though so if you have the dlc you can max 3 out of 5 stats and off the two that are left you can nearly max one of those so even min maxing is really just a matter of identifying a dump stat. I like the generalist build though. I find I can do any playstyle really with 15 in each stat rather than 20 and again its just missing a level 20 checks (with the dlc one stat can even still be 20) and perks that I kinda consider to be overkill in most cases.

I think some buildings are actual 1:1 scale as well, which helps. I know the majority is 4:1, but at least Notre Dame is 1:1 if i remember right.
Being 1:1 would check out for it, especially with how important i remember it being to the story

Damn, i wish it was kept in as an option, i love when games give you a limit to skills to make you really consider where to invest
