too bad there's no mod to make car damage persistent even after respawns
There is a mod that has immersive car repair.Is there a mod to disable the random vehicle attacks? Driving around NC is annoying enough without CDPR's braindead, low-effort "activities" and of course the turd isn't even complete because they failed to include a feature to repair your car.
Since when? I distinctly remember my ride staying scratched and banged-up between summons, the only way to "repair" it was to blow it up or drop it in the river before recalling unless it's changed in recent patches.Just call your car somewhere it has to respawn. Voila. It'll be pristine again.
I've seen two mods with vehicle repairs [1] [2] and they're both reported buggy, won't fully restore the vehicle. Not that it's the ideal solution to the vehicle encounters themselves being dogshit drudgery, but I'd take a repair hotkey if it were working properly.There is a mod that has immersive car repair.

And if I don't use the car altogether, it won't need repairing in the first place!Basically if you get out of your busted car and fast travel somewhere then call it again it will be repaired.
I'll check when I get home. Except for the cool down after blowing up a car I don't remember it being that much an irritation.Since when?

Just checked, works for me as I said - vehicle beat up pretty badly, then go far enough away where summoning it causes it to respawn. Pristine. I only played the game post-2.0, so don't know when it was changed, it's always been that way AFAIK. Are you running some scene version like Dodi or Fitgirl? Sometimes they dont include all the features from a patch despite "updated for 2.12 patch".I'll check when I get home.

Yeah, cars from your collection in CP2077 magically get fixed when you don't use them.
I did but many of my cars are way cooler. And it's not always easy to steal armoured and armed vehicle.why not just keep stealing random cars?
Vehicle combat was poor indeed but it was nice to rush enemy location in an armored car, taking first wave of foes with my machine guns when they could do shit, then disembark and finish the rest with a katana.cant say I took pleasure in vehicle combat, however i did spend some time in finding best weapon for it -> tech smg. They got no recoil while driving, very good in taking out enemy drivers
Got tired triggering NCPD wanted levels, mostly. I usually got a stable of four or five vehicles when street cred warrants.why not just keep stealing random cars?
Nope, I'm legit. Maybe the behaviour's changed in patches, I remember from way back that some disphit NPC would scratch my car and it'd keep spawning scratched until I destroyed it and summoned it back. This is before there was a cooldown timer.Just checked, works for me as I said - vehicle beat up pretty badly, then go far enough away where summoning it causes it to respawn. Pristine.

Aside from the NCPD hassle, then what's even the point in the vehicle money sink? Might as well just get the Javelina with its mounted machineguns and maybe a single bike (since Jackie's drives like shit) and you're done, just ignore everything else. This is a recurring theme with Cyberpunk, the design was broken at the core and trying to deploy arbitrary low-effort fixes downstream just ends up moving the turd to different sides of the plate.why not just keep stealing random cars?
Did they change the way this works? It didn't used to use your hp, as far as I know. The only thing was the 33% extra vehicle health perk.Does having your car damaged change much? Since your car uses your health instead of having it's own HP, I dunno if your car can even explode or change much other than perhaps driving worse if your tires are shot.
No, your car still has its own HP as it always has. If the bullets hit you through the windshield or like a missing door, you take damage, if they hit the car's body, it takes damage and will eventually blow up under you.Did they change the way this works?

I was wondering. That change would've been retarded.No, your car still has its own HP as it always has.

Ah, there's no real issue, the game is working as intended, just your immmmurshun getting busted. Ought/is, dude. It ought to be one way, but is in fact another. That said, there were already a couple of mods suggested. Not perfect, but it'll get you what you want.Nope, I'm legit.

Anyway, like I said to gurugeorge, if my "solution" to fixing my ride is to have to park, run away and spawn it again, it's not really a solution. It didn't use to be that big of an issue when driving was inoffensively pointless, but since CDPR "fixed" it with their popamole driving encounters drudgery (which often trigger literally the instant I get behind the wheel), it's become offensively pointless. Lacking a proper repair option is a design oversight that makes the problem worse, but the base problem is how the vehicle encounters work.
So, is this game finally worth playing after 3.5 years? Should I play it?
Few questions I would be happy to get answers for:
- is this playable without doing any shooting? I'm not talking about non-lethal playthrough, but maybe pure melee build, is it feasible? I hate shooting in games.
- any memorable moments the game offers? Stuff that makes you think about the game after you're done?
- are characters well written?
- how is side quest quality?
- how woke it is?
- can I play regular 2.0 and skip Phantom Liberty altogether, or would I be missing something important?
Thanks in advance.
Well, if it ought to be one way but is a different way, that'd be an issue. But no, I'm sure the game's working "as intended", that's the problem, that the core design itself is bad. CDPR are quite spectacular in terms of art direction, but really don't get this gameplay shit. Me fussing over my scratched wheels might be an "immmurshun" thing, okay, but the driving encounters are objectively a crap design.Ah, there's no real issue, the game is working as intended, just your immmmurshun getting busted.
