In all honesty it’s very clear that The people who are messing with Peralez probably realized that they couldn’t buy him off so they are just using the mind control stuff to make him compliant instead. Makes sense.

The other part that makes it more likely that Peralez is under the influence of well funded, corrupt, up-to-no-good types is that he won the mayoral race in the end implying that he's Part of the System and owned even without his own consent knowing the kind of evil he's allowing without even realizing any of it. This is Black Mirror cyberpunk horror territory which makes it one of the fan favorite quests in the game.

Legendary Lite is a mod that lets you upgrade arbitrary gear to Rare/Epic/Legendary, adding mod slots in the process. Has some other convenience functions like leveling gear to your level and a few more. There are a couple other mods also doing this, but they do a lot more besides whereas this is simpler and more focused. Still want to wear arbitrary clothes instead of being at the mercy of the game's RNG drops or being restricted to the existing Legendary gear for mod slots. But it'd also be nice to only use mods that I've found through gameplay or crafting. Which needs: - Add more slots to any gear you have (mod above) - Remove mods from gear you have to reuse elsewhere Asked the mod author to add the latter function, but if they don't I'll probably do it this weekend. The CyberEngineTweaks mod has enabled a bunch of cool gameplay mods. It allows scripting against the game's engine in Lua, which is easy and convenient. Provides a console that can also be used a simple graphical UI for mods. And, not least, has the concept of mods built in so they can be kept separate and managed. There's even a Cyber Engine Tweaks In-game Mod Manager for it. All very encouraging. I hope CDPR do their end of things and fix / rebalance / flesh out the game to where it needs to be because there's a lot of modding potential here, to the same level of TW3. v1ld fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Feb 26, 2021 |

It's also worth noting that the platform he gets elected on if you let the conspiracy go ahead uninterrupted is actually even more ambitious and left-liberal than the one he promises in the 'Vote Peralez' campaign shard. Might be Militech using him as their mole, seeing as 6th Street (NUS veterans who hate Holt and Arasaka) are big Peralez fans. That, or it's part of the same conspiracy as the NightCorp brainwashing and Garry's techno-necromancer business.

Did a mod for the game that lets you change the rarity of armor or unequip the mods in them to use on other armor. Turned out to be straightforward, there are enough mods already to look at to get started quickly on how it works. Removing the two Bully mods I was lucky to get on this awful helmet.  Upgrading an Uncommon to a Legendary.  Installing the Bully mods from the helmet on that newly upgraded Legendary (yeah, I know they don't stack ).  So there's a hat that was otherwise going to be discarded now made useful. I chanced across one of those Corpro Legendary parts yesterday and then looked up the location of two more pieces close to the first, but I'd be happier just running the stuff I pick up. That Me-Thrill mod I'm hovering over is an interesting detail that took a bit to figure out. The original hat is a Rare with no slots on it, where Rares usually have 1 slot. I couldn't add slots to it either. But once I could remove mods from stuff, this Me-Thrill pops out - turns out to be what the game uses to block unused mod slots from being used by players. So once that thing has been removed, I can upgrade it to 3 slots like any other Legendary. Need to test some more and play with it to see if it causes save corruption or your computer to burn up etc. I don't expect it to, there have been mods allowing item upgrades for a few weeks now, including the one whose code I referred to. But mod removal isn't common as far as I know, so who knows what that could do. But if anyone wants to try playing with it with those caveats, DM me - victims welcome. v1ld fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Feb 27, 2021 |

lmao I love that when Okada calls you up with a job that involves killing if V expresses reluctance she's all "Oh, sorry, didn't realize I was calling the loving Dali Lama." It's a pet peeve of mine when games try to have a ~message about violence~ while 90% of the game-play involves putting holes in people in as fun a way as the game can make it, so I appreciated the joke.

You know, this may be the 60mg of weed talking but, (ending spoilers/joke): I think they missed a real opportunity to have one of the ending choices to be merging with Delamain if you combined his personalities. It would be cool since he would probably be in the NightCorp net. So your options could have been to merge with an AI and go beyond the blackwall to the unknown (Alt). Go with Del to stay closer to home, so possibly a more familiar unknown (Del). Or stay in your body and accept what ever fate may bring.....wait for it....(Ctrl)!

Elizabeth gives us some insight into what her husband has forgotten or had changed inside him, but it's all personal things like music taste or childhood memories. His 'never take favours, pure independence' strategy for the campaign is in full swing by the time V gets involved and doesn't change throughout their quests, even as both become increasingly aware that some outside presence is working its way inside their heads. It's possible that they're being prepped for compliance and that all the other stuff is the conspiracy testing out their control, but I think it's a little more likely - or more interesting, honestly - that their current beliefs are a product of the conspiracy's control rather than the target of it.

Just spitballing here but a neat alternate ending to that mission could have been if you try to interact with Mr. Blue Eyes have him knock you out with his cyberware. Then you wake up in an alley or trash heap as a tie to the end of act 1, give you a mission failed message then play the "you don't know who you're loving with" call. As it is right now you can easily jump over to him but he doesn't react to anything.

I can't think of one off the top of my head) but now, yeah, I think it's probably more likely that they cut it short for time. The ending is extremely abrupt, unsatisfying, and like so many other things wrapped up with a phone call in the end credits.

The end of the quest is the end of the quest. You're an unwitting pawn of some big sinister plan; is it worse for you to be ignorant of this or to know it and know there's nothing you can do about it? Should you just give up, or should you rage against the dying of the light? It may be a poor fit for a game where a lot of quests will end with you defeating your enemy in a big combat encounter but it's an appropriate ending for a cyberpunk story involving the political system

All of the New Vegas DLC was hinted at in the main game. On top of the SM posters there was some graffiti that read "left my heart in the Big Empty", "The Burned Man walks" and then of course Canyon Wreckage with it's "Go Home, Courier 6"

Uploaded that armor mod to Nexus: Wear What You Want. Lets you move mods around and add slots to armors. The mods in the eyeglasses in the first pic are Bully, Fortuna, and that +x% to experienced enemies mod, all of which are from other armors.   Useful in a non-crafting playthrough to be able to reuse mods you find. I actually stop by armor vendors now that I can mod them as needed. Being able to reuse mods is what makes it work, so you can move stuff around as you get new armor. The scaling mod in the OP is my favorite so far. It's brought all the NCPD missions back up to my level without adding health to enemies and it's fun to run them on very hard. Highly recommended if you want more combat later in the game. Have asked the author for a version that brings enemies up to +5 or whatever Hard missions are at. Tyger Claws can deflect smart weapons against all Smart Links, by the way, not just the freebie tattoo from Yukiko. Pretty cool detail.

Yikes. I didn't realize how annoying the cookout with River is if you're trying to play V as a lesbian or aesexual. I mean, having no choice but to reject him outright is annoying but...eh...it's realistic. But there's an innocuous dialogue option where V suddenly has no choice but to start talking about ex-boyfriends. Judy basically walks around with a giant Wile-E-Coyote sign that says "I'm a Lesbian!" Why can't I? The alternate dialogue option where V gives examples of dumb pickup lines and her violent responses is fun, though.

OK, I do love this game after all - but after adding a mod or 3 to help things along. The scaling mod combined with Very Hard has been a blast to play as I run NCPD missions. The Badlands have been the most fun to clear, as well as having some of the better environmental / observational story telling in the NCPD missions. I've "cheated" to get to fun - took Fenrir out of the stash and used a mod to make it Legendary / level it to my level. Coupled with a Legendary D5 Sidewinder and a mod to make enemies lethal, the gunplay has been a blast. That Fenrir and a bunch of other iconics are out of your reach unless you invest heavily in Crafting is just another dumb decision. This game has more modding potential than the Witcher 3 when it comes to open-world combat. The large number of side missions which are all bite sized battles where you can try out different builds and strategies to your heart's content is perfect for folks to do their overhaul mods with. Hopefully a few good mods will come out that rebalance the game in different ways like TW3 had - and which add a lot more viable builds and build variety than the game has right now, again just like TW3. Back to fun in the year 2077: that Crafting tree is a crime, all of that poo poo should have been unlocked and freely available. It's a stupid barrier to fun by throttling fashion and locking out iconic/higher rarity weapons. In a setting that's about style as much as anything else, shouldn't need a mod to bypass crafting just so I can commit crimes of fashion like this:  The setting is supposed to encourage looking over the top and the game has some fantastic gear in it along with 6 clothing slots. What were they thinking locking a lot of the potential behind 16-20 levels of a perk tree that many won't use? All of this is on PC, they hosed it up on console and mods will not help there at all of course. v1ld fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Feb 28, 2021 |

LOVED Horizon Zero Dawn, zero interest in going back for DLC. Same thing with Ghost of Tsushima. CP2077 is at the top of my list for games I’m interested in. If there are expected gameplay changes/fixes coming up, I’ll wait. Otherwise gonna get in on the action. My waiting has already cost me experiencing the proper amount of dildos, who knows what else they could take away?!?
