CDPR sure want their ESG points. Female protagonist, female US president, female antagonist, female writers, gay host. This cinematic was painfully boring, it seems Idris Elba character is some kind of cuck that lives only because of a woman's mercy. This seems to be a kind of female writing room trope nowadays.
I'm unlikely to ever finish my game, but in it there's no women.
I was inspired by George Martin's Dying of the Light sci-fi novel, where an entire planet's female population got almost wiped out by a plague, which culturally affected their civilization to the core. They hid their women deep in the caves and a marriage became an agreement between multiple men and one woman, where the woman was something between a commodity and a person. They loved her and were protective of her, but she didn't get to go out a lot, let's just say.
I thought, wouldn't it be cool to have no women on a planet at all? In today's times, it could offer a fresh perspective for people who are tired of consuming the same recycled thing over and over.
There's literally a village like this somewhere in India or Nepal. Multiple men marrying a single woman.

Not an original idea and already done in Gothic 3 where all women were gone (I assume wiped out by a mysterious plague) and wherever you went there were only men in towns across the entire continent.

The hacking in the base game was already stupid overpowered to a point it became boring, and they're saying "it's more powerful than ever". What is the point? Melee having more of a fleshed out movelist is nice at least.

Some players probably complained about the hacking penalty against boss enemies, which can double casting costs of combat hacks. It makes pure caster builds impractical. Therefore the new overclock skill that allows the player to cast from HP.
