​@@toomuchmilmk If you ever do another playthru, try my build!! I had so much fun with it! I used tech shotgun Throwing knife (punk knife with poison) Katana (byakko is the last one i use, for the combo OR the scalpel for the sandevistan crit bonus) I also used the projectile launcher. 20 body-20 tech 20 reflex intel 3 rest in cool. You put your points in edgerunner You get sandevistan You use the thing in your hand that when you reload next bullet will have electric damage. The perk for shotgun dismemberment The perk for the projectile launcher Perk in tech for the shotgun charge And perk in dex for more bleed and dismemberment. Basically you take all the dismemberment perk. What happen is critical hit will become dismemberment. Your throwing knife instakill if you headahot I also used kerenzikov. So basically you can just jump in, attack like a mad men, when you are done, usually, on the battlefield is pieces and bits of everyone. It was beautiful. And playing on very hard, it makes it a high octane build. Because you have to he real close and personal, dodge shit around. It feels very ninjaesque with your katana and throwing knife But when SHTF you just onliterate everything. I want to make another pkaythru just talking about it. Lol

I mean, how neat would it be if after Nocturne Op54737463747363 You had paparazzi chasing you down like the cops and the police system?

@Somerandom1922

Not even just lore accurate V, straight-up gameplay V is insane. Case in point, you dicing up that entire squad of Scavs before anyone notices because they threatened some friends of yours. Or the simple fact that gameplay V (depending on your build) can use sandevistan basically perpetually. If you have the right cyberware and perks, and you're in a large enough room of goons your sandevistan will keep refreshing as you kill people, so you just don't stop. Unlike other Sandy users who get a brief burst of power, then need to wait, V just keeps going until they either run out of enemies to kill, or run into an enemy that takes long enough to kill that they finally run out of sandevistan charge. It's almost the opposite problem as Skyrim, where lore accurate dragonborn is insane, but gameplay-wise, you're cool, but far from some godly being (unless you use glitches), whereas in cyberpunk, lore V is definitely a top-tier merc, probably the best ever, given that they zero Adam Smasher, however, gameplay V, even ignoring the gamified aspects (pausing when opening the menu and whatnot), just based on what's explicitly meant to be happening in-universe, V is absurd. Like casually wiping out entire squads of Arasaka ninjas even BEFORE they get that much cyberware. Afterwards, the issue is the limited number of actually tough enemies (outside of smasher I guess) as V can just eliminate everyone.

It’s so hard to find people playing as male V for some goddamn reason, thankyou

This along with the interrogation with Woodman after killing Jotaro Shobo are prime examples of how our actions in the game should have had far reaching consequences.

See, if the threat wasn’t based on Body, it’d be more realistic - considering that pretty much any V has hundreds of bodies under their belt - though it’d probably be a touch much to ask for there to be a version for body, technical ability, int, reflex and cool, so I get why they boiled it down a bit. Though I’m probably just saying that because my V has a body score of 3, so that might not help. Still stacking Scavs tho.

That is one thing I wish about this game is that the name "V" actually carried more weight to it. Also, a personal annoyance I have is that intimidation is locked behind Strength. Walking forward, taking a bullet to the body, and still walking forward as intimidation? Okay, totally understand. But really I feel like most forms of pure conversation should stem from the Cool attribute. Instead what you get is Strength "I'm a fucking menace" Reflexes "You sure you wanna do this?" Cool "I'm an asshole" I stopped using the Cool option like 80% of the time because it just made my character a piece of work.

"You whooped their asses real good 😃"

0:45 Oh hello Loba from Apex. Fancy hearing you here, eh?

I'm with everyone else, its a badass threat, but would be nice if it changed depending on your Cyberwear. Like, if youre rocking the Projectile Launcher: "Look at my impants, i can blast you into a pile of meaty chunks and chrome before you could squeeze the trigger."

I was playing corpo and i did the same tactic it was dope making them think twice about there intentions they knew what was up and knew they would get done in

I heard somewhere that this doesn’t work if you stealth the Scav hideout. They fled because of Trauma Team so they’re not scared of you. If it’s true, then it’s really cool how failing an optional objective can have consequences later.

I have enough RAM that I can have the loudmouth going psycho, the guy on his left sucking his own iron and the rest puking their guts out from Contagion before they have their guns out. Raven CPU with a +60% AOE spread can disable a lot of fools.

This is why you get upgrades, for real. Just having gorilla arms and high body stat I’ve straight up punked the thugs in the game and had them pissing themselves any time I show up. some of them get brave but most times I can hear how much they fear me and the reputation I’ve built as a solo. And one that may even rival smasher himself right now with the fact that I’ve made a name for V early in The game so I had access to good stuff asap and I basically came back from the dead and became the grim reaper of mercs early on. It’s a helluva lot of fun but I just got done downloading Phantom Liberty and it immediately started me right into the DLC’s story right after I got done doing queen of the highway. So I just barely got to play with the relic upgrades but so far this game is easily one of my favorites by far since they fixed it and dropped the DLC. I got the shitty ending my first play through where me and Johnny offed ourselves on the roof. But this play through has been wild as hell and this time Johnny has had little control over my stubborn ass and I’ve taken the game world by storm since I pulled a Jesus Christ move and resurrected from the dead after being taken to Vik.

Because non of this dialogue ever mentions how big and strong you are. It’s all just look what I did in the past or look at my implants. For the rifle the dialogue is look how much I know about guns. None of this should be locked under body stats! Yet for some odd reason it is.
