I was getting bored so I watched one of those, "easy farm millions of xp in an hour" videos that are popping up on my youtube feed and there's 2 farming routes of respawning gangoons. One in Pacifica and one in Watson. In Watson it's all Maelstorm and in Pacifica, if you killed the VDB's then it's going to be a few scavs here and there and if not it's a loot pinata. The problem is, again, that skills level at a snail's pace. Getting cold blood from 15 to 20 is insanely slow. Ninjutsu can take advantage of of killing from cover but it's the same horseshit.

At the moment can farm infinite money at level 50 by drops alone so why not have trainers like in the Elder Scrolls? Want to level your combat skills? Then pay 100K ED's for a combat simulator. Get endless waves of mooks in a simulated maze until they overwhelm you or your brain tires out, like in the introduction level. This way you can level your skills in a reasonable manner, spend your money on something useful and don't become a mass murderer.

I searched some mods and found none that comes close to it.

Everyone gets killed in one-two automatic bursts or pistol shots, so what matters is that you spot the enemy first and fire off first. Just like in real life. You can't run around like it's Quake 3, and you have to peek carefully from cover to identify where they are shooting from. On lvl 3 I was getting killed from a couple of hits - so the penalty to getting shot once is having to immediately expend a health item.

I mean if this was STALKER or other game with normal humans i wouldn't have a problem.

But this is Cyberpunk setting. Goons are sporting subdermal armors, their clothes are harder than kevlar vests and the best ones like Adam Smasher would only fell from 95% of guns that his armor is only scratched. Enemies being bullet sponges you can't kill in two shots fits perfectly into setting with all that chrome going on.

If i would do rebalance i would look instead into weapons. Fix their damage instead of being scaled and make proper tiering. So copperhead would be worse than nowaki which would be worse than X etc. Add to each weapon body stat req with tech having lower body reqs and smart the lowest but also require a bit of int. Lock every enemy gun behind ID lock and make guns available only by stores and only if you have enough street cred.

Secondly i would completely remove attribute and perk system and move that everything to ripperdock upgrades. Want better body to keep those powerful guns in hand ? Upgrade your hands muscles, want Cold Blood stacks ? Install zetatech, berserker module, want ful charge with tech weapon ? install electro relays in hands. your are getting out of yourself swiss cheese ? Install subdermal armor.

Combat-wise, CP2077 is very solid at a fundamental level, weapons look and feel and sound great, enemy AI is decent, and the whole thing feels "right". But some specifics kinda mess with it:

1. Bullet-sponge enemies on harder difficulties. I am playing on Very Hard and it's getting sillly. Takes 3-4 headshots from a fully upgraded magnum revolver (Overture) at level 40+ to take down a regular gangoon. Meanwhile, they can take you down with a single headshot.

2. Some hi-tech abilities ruin the flow of good shooter combat.
a. Tech weapons shooting through walls - this marginalizes positioning and cover, which are some of the most fun aspects of shooter type combat.
b. Net-runners being able to target and overheat you from basically anywhere, while it's very hard for you to get to them through 20 other enemies if you are just playing a non-tech build.
c. Sandivistan/kereznikov enemies - the most annoying aspect of combat, the bullet-dodging. There is no "elegant" way to deal with them as a gunslinger, you either have to dip into tech and disable their implants (which for multiple such enemies is a hassle also), or use grenades, which is also ugly as hell.

This sounds like the game I wanted to play. Have you tested out how well it works with melee builds?

in base game melee go from squishy to immortal, with those changes they might get frustrating
I haven't played a melee build yet, and if I do it would be just out of curiousity. I never liked melee combat in 1st person games.


I mean if this was STALKER or other game with normal humans i wouldn't have a problem
What I really like about the combat now is the newfound feeling of relief and satisfaction when I drop someone. Relief not because it took a lot of effort, but because I could do it before he could drop me. It reminds me of playing Arma or Delta Force.

But this is Cyberpunk setting. Goons are sporting subdermal armors, their clothes are harder than kevlar vests and the best ones like Adam Smasher would only fell from 95% of guns that his armor is only scratched. Enemies being bullet sponges you can't kill in two shots fits perfectly into setting with all that chrome going on.
I also have this installed, though I haven't played with the sliders: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/5066 The defaults feel good enough for me, but there are a lot of values to adjust if you are into it.

I checked out the description since it sounded interesting, but it looks like instead of giving you a likelihood of psyching out on certain triggers, it applies a persistent psychosis effect on low Humanity which you then have to manage. Sounded promising, but not quite what I'm looking for in a cyberpsychosis mechanic.
It says "launches more visual glitches and adds a critical chance debuff, also can trigger Cyberpsychosis with some probability (configurable)." I haven't experienced it but it sounded like it has a chance of happening as you play, like the coughs in Far Cry 2. Did you try it out, or read the script's code?

Eh, is there really any point, though? I suppose if you've got a particular build in mind that needs a certain level, but other than that I've found little reason to care about levels in CBP beyond picking whatever perks caught my fancy in the moment.

I mean if this was STALKER or other game with normal humans i wouldn't have a problem.

But this is Cyberpunk setting. Goons are sporting subdermal armors, their clothes are harder than kevlar vests and the best ones like Adam Smasher would only fell from 95% of guns that his armor is only scratched. Enemies being bullet sponges you can't kill in two shots fits perfectly into setting with all that chrome going on.
The issue's gameplay, though, not diegesis, bullet sponges are just tedious in play. The power curve catches up a bit from around level 10, but combat feels kinda protracted in the first few levels.

I haven't experienced it but it sounded like it has a chance of happening as you play, like the coughs in Far Cry 2. Did you try it out, or read the script's code?
Nah, just went through the description and the comments, the demo video shows it kick in right away. I haven't even updated to 1.6, so I can't try it right now. Will probably want to do a reinstall, I (mistakenly) tried to stick with MO2 for mod management, but it just won't cut it.

Speaking of, does JSGME track modified files across multiple locations? Like, if a mod has a resource file in /archive/ and, say, two files in /r6/ of which one is a config, will it still keep a lock on the config once it changes?

Like, how can you not download mod with such a name, especially WRITTEN IN CAPS?! :lol:

TBH these custom bodies don't look like much, at least they are not to my taste. The base body has better proportions IMO, and if its geometry has imperfections, I haven't been able to notice them. But I guess I don't spend enough time... erm, in "photomode".

I still haven't tried sd0's bodes, they may be better. It also sucks how little choice there is of facial features, you can hardly give the faces an individuality. All values converge around a mean, and beautiful faces usually have something pronounced and characteristic about them.

I'll look for more info on that, but let's hope the video was just triggering it immediately on purpose.

No, it doesn't keep a lock on any files. It just copies folders and files from its mods storage folder to the location specified (usually the root dir of the game in question). It will warn you if one mod is about to overwrite files of another, but that's all.

Once it has copied the files into the game's folder structure, you can change them without problems. When you remove and re-insert the mod through JSGME, it will make a fresh copy, and you will lose your changes. I value it for its simplicity, because when I was modding FNV I spent a few days just doing tutorials.

I think the video https://youtu.be/R1GL9wJ0tEU is misleading

In this video the guy explicitly says that he has brought his humanity to zero and will skip time in order to increase the chance of cyberpsychosis kicking in. So it doesn't sound like it's immediate.

EDIT: the mod config screen clears the doubt. Cyberpsychosis kicking in is a chance based on your humanity. Humanity 0 just maximizes the chance, but it's not guaranteed it starts immediately:

Look, I made Annie Lennox from "Missionary Man" :D :

With a bit more custom textures and proper outfit, it can get closer.

I'm making a track list for an 80s radio: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlkUhxAaSKrMj03Hh8TLdugLpMJCnJ498 With the Radio Ext mod you just copy over mp3 files in the respective dir, and you don't even replace existing ingame radios.

Fun fact I forgot to mention earlier. Blackwall limits the player to 72 rounds for power pistol and 120 rounds for power assault rifle. Investing in sneaking, melee weapons and takedowns is becoming a necessity on missions where you have to kill more than 5-10 guys. Not to mention that ammo prices are rebalanced.

Let there be Flight and Bike Overhaul both look great, though having a flying car just for the PC would feel like cheating.

I wanted to get a maxed out character for kicks and giggles and that includes using skills like shotguns and assault rifles that I haven't put a single point on. Then, before the smasher mision I want to respec, keep only my sword, cool and health upgrades and all the extra perk points dump them into the Cool lvl 20 ability, the one that gives you 1% extra crit chance per point spent.

I just want to feel the power I had pre 1.32, where you could have a 100% crit chance build.

Bummer, I suppose I'd have to manually mirror configs back from the target to the source. But I gotta swap off MO2 and with CBP mods targetting any and all of three different paths, I need something to keep track.

I miss DX Radio, patch 1.3 broke it and it never came back, maybe it's time I rolled up my sleeves. Ooh, and a VCPR station!

Yeah, the same guy made something like 30 of the best mods on nexus. He is most likely employed somewhere, but if he wasn't CDPR should have been throwing money at him to join the company.

Nothing demonstrates better than the effors of a single person in his free time, how CDPR spent millions and six years time to produce less than half of an RPG.

It's subtle meta commentary on how there's no need for a dystopic cyberpunk video game when the real world is actually a dystopia.
Oh no, woman who did porn now does videogame voiceovers, much dystopian, very what is the world coming to. Seriously, what's the fucking issue? Most pornstars vanish once their fifteen minutes are up, but it looks like this pussycat's landed on her feet so good for her. I'm actually curious to see how she does, she was okay in Saints Row 3 but a little flat.
Depends on what kinda sounds she'll be providing. If whores be opening their mouths the sounds coming out better be GLORGH-GLARGH-SPLURGE-GLARK-GLORK, not talk. Shieeeet, imagine paying a celeb whore for serious voice acting. Like pissing away money.

Disagree with the highlighted. God knows CP2077 has a shit-ton of issues, but they created an amazing world populated with a ton of content. This was hard to see at first, with all the bugs and issues, but now, I am pretty blown away by how much stuff is in this game. Like the gigs, for example. Sure, they aren't the deepest quests you will ever see, but there is like 200 of them in the game or some crazy number like that, and each one has a background story, some dialogue, some interesting or touching twist to make you feel like you are an actual merc doing an actual mission, and not just earning money by engaging in combat or stealth.

To me, it seems like the issue is people expected CP2077 to be something other than it was. WIth 4 games behind their belt, we KNOW what CDProjektRed is like as a studio. Their games don't have deep gameplay mechanics, or a deep character development tree, they never did. What they have are amazing worlds, great lore and writing, interesting characters and quests.

Yes, unfinished content. Depends on how you measure it. For me the world in itself is "less than half an RPG", ofc you can't really quantify it.

ike the gigs, for example. Sure, they aren't the deepest quests you will ever see, but there is like 200 of them in the game or some crazy number like that, and each one has a background story, some dialogue, some interesting or touching twist to make you feel like you are an actual merc doing an actual mission, and not just earning money by engaging in combat or stealth.
I've written a lot about the gigs, but I don't feel like digging that far back in this thread.

I've heard it before but Cyberpunk is really more of an inmersive sim than an RPG.

It kind of almost does approach that in a few quests, but most of the quests aren't developed enough to really characterize it that way fully. You can tell that that was the original intention, there are so many vestiges of it dotted around, but it's basically only sketched in with the extant, obviously unfinished (apart from the Johnny/V story) game.

I do believe that the first proper big quest, the All Foods/Maelstrom quest, shows what they really wanted to do, but the vast majority of the quests aren't nearly as well done as that from the immersive sim/C&C p.o.v.
