What do you want from the next Cyberpunk game?
I want the game to embrace more RPG elements and design philosophy.
Character customization being expanded would be good; like more cyberware that changes your appearance in addition to mechanical benefits, a wider range of perks and attribute interactions, etc.
I'd want an expanded lifepath system, where rather than just Street/Nomad/Corpo, you get other choices that can be used to get unique dialogue/outcomes. The unfortunate reality is that in the first game, outside of the intro and one mission, your lifepath doesn't change much.
I'd want missions to have a wider range out outcomes and solutions, ranging from different approaches that open up with new cyberware to more dialogue that has more meaningful impact.
There should be a wider range of mission experiences. In 2077, aside from main missions, most side gigs are just "go to X, kill/retrieve Y" and that gets old. Have more side objectives and choices that change the outcome of the missions dynamically.
More side activities. 2077 only really had a couple arcade machines and the tarot card hunt. Look to the Yakuza games for inspiration; bar games, (more) street racing, virtual reality, BDs. Heck, imagine in 2077 if there was a rhythm game where you go on gigs with Samurai, similar to Yakuza's karaoke.
I want more immersive elements. I would love to get buffs from food, so I'm encouraged to sit down at food stalls or buy from vending machines on the regular (and actually eat). I want random events that show that NC is dangerous, like random drive-bys or shops being held up. I'd like more room customization and things to do inside my home.
And then there's more mechanical things:
I'd want an overhaul to the combat so that different flavors of melee are more distinct while making different classes of firearm more defined.
Quickhacking should probably be changed because it's so powerful. Having something like ICE to break through first before some of your stronger quickhacks take effect would help with that.
Likewise, network hacking should probably be tied into stealth. Being able to upload hacks to an entire network and gaining more and more control of the environment would benefit that playstyle more.
I'd want a complete overhaul of the driving mechanics. Driving in the game can be such a hassle because they don't handle like actual vehicles. Likewise, I'd want fast travel to be more limited so you're encouraged to drive to your locations.
I'd like to see some interplay between attributes for perks, rather than have everything sectioned off. Stuff like a Strength/Tech build maybe having the option for a perk for even more Cyberware Capacity. Stuff like that.
