I skipped over a lot of posts because I stopped caring; Does the 2020 tabletop have some kind of mechanic for losing "humanity" when you get more cyberware? Kind of like Shadowrun's Essence (you can get awesome cybertech but you only have a limited pool of points and it's bad for mages cause it raises cooldowns)

In the tabletop, Humanity is equal to 10x a character's Empathy ability score (which can range from 2-10 at creation, and is a measure of how well a person can relate to other people). Minor augments (anything above straight up standard part replacement/prosthetics or low cosmetic and gender reassignment surgery) usually cost 0.5 Humanity and are things like microscopes built into your eyes and radar detection, something more advanced like a flamethrower built into your arm is like 2d6 Humanity Cost, straight up replacing your face with an armored-plated robotic mask is like 4d6 Humanity Cost, and the extreme of a fully-mechanical frame piloted by a brain that can range from 16d6 to 42d6+3 Humanity Cost (the latter is a special warbot frame that they have to keep constantly drugged and given simple instructions). Constant psychological therapy can restore lost Humanity over time (like 2 HC per week), but it's an expensive option; having cybernetics uninstalled also helps recover Humanity (but the loss is pretty mentally taxing on the person, frequently resulting in depression). Every 10 Humanity lost is a full on point reduction of Empathy (until the Humanity is restored somehow). 3 Empathy is considered a cold and distant person, 2 Empathy is outright unpleasant to others on a normal day, 1 Empathy is actively violent and sociopathic, and 0 Empathy is Cyberpsycho territory (PC forcibly becomes an NPC).

Should be noted that higher Empathy doesn't necessarily translate to being a kinder individual, because it's also the providence of being able to lie convincingly and manipulate people against their own best interests, it's just a measure of how well you can relate to and interact with other organic lifeforms. And it's not a stat in 2077's computer game as far as I know.

Just thinking about this game has got me on a Cyberpunk kick, so I watched Altered Carbon on Netflix. It's not bad, scratches the itch, and also has a scene that's just a cop fighting a bunch of sexy naked clones.

Hey at least the Dragon Age armor in Mass Effect looks decent, the worst crossover ever is probably the Masterchief set you could get in Fable 2.

Yeah, there are cyber upgrades that are mandatory for story progression according to this guy:

And since empathy isn't one of the stats it looks like 2077 won't feature players going into cyberpsychosis unless they decide to make it a plot point later into the game or something like that.

I'd imagine you'd also get some basic quality-of-life stuff like a HUD and maybe some stealth helpers as a matter of tutorialising. "This is how you go about purchasing cybernetic upgrades, and oh look this one just happens to unlock a required gameplay feature. You ~~should~~ need to buy it."

I figured out why Ciri is so important: in this game we won�t be playing her pseudo dad so it will be acceptable to gently caress her.

Since I read someone a million pages back wonder about melee combat options here is a relevant quote from this:

quote:

Players can single out particular limbs, whether chopping at arms with a katana of blasting out knees with a shotgun. This isn�t spray and pray � you approach an enemy tactically and switch up your weapons based on their defence or skillset.

�When it comes to combat we have three different types of weapons. Each are for a different approach to the gameplay,� says Pietras. �What I can tell you about hand-to-hand combat is that we will have it; where you can use the katana or other weapons. It�s a cool thing because we have a dismembering system. It�s visceral, it�s brutal.�

Whether you'll be able to keep the severed limbs of your honorably defeated enemies as trophies is still up in the air though.

To my understanding there were differences between the book and the show. Who's to say that any further seasons might be different (in a good way)?

The TV series of Altered Carbon made some pretty incomprehensible changes from the book. I've only read (well, listened) to the first one, but my understanding is that the changes they've made would actually make the later books unadaptable, so they'll almost certainly have to come up with their own novel storyline.

Can't be a rapier if you want to sever limbs, rapier are thrusting weapons, not cutting ones. :eng101:
