Every Sidequest In Cyberpunk 2077 Will Feel Like A Complete Story In And Of Itself - CDProjekt
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
That sounds interesting, basically the Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy-esque "anything you do has specific consequences" but applied to an open world, open-ended RPG. Having tons of options both in the approach to the missions and the people sounds very promising, hopefully they can truly deliver on the promise and it's not just scripted options that always go between the usual "go in guns blazing or stealth it, maybe try to break a deal". No doubt it's the most ambitious RPG by a big studio in a long long time.
The side quests in TW3 already had good stories and characters, even if you can argue that they weren't as varied as they could've been from a gameplay perspective (Witcher sense).
And since everything I've read about Cyberpunk 2077 so far points towards a game that will surpass their other games in every aspect, I totally believe CDPR can pull this off.

how many do you think are reasonably feasible?
And Bloody Baron was a main story quest.
Yeah I was gonna say. While the quest structure might have been repetitive and simple, TW3 did a great job in providing story motivations to all their side quests.
Ubisoft improved a lot with origins compared to previous ac games when it came to side content. And AC games in general are more sandboxy than w3, more system driven than narrative one
To be fair, Cyberpunk will have been in development for far, far longer than any typical Ubisoft game once it releases.
If you played the Witcher 3 then this isn't surprising. Every side quest was so damn good in that game.
I don't like that. Focus on a story and deliver it properly please.
Honestly, i don't like games where 99% of what to do is filler, even if the filler is of excellent quality. This is snoozefest to me.
I much prefer true sandbox with a story (like Assassin's Creed for example) or linear with vignettes (like DQXI) over what Witcher3, or even Skyrim, was doing.
I even prefer shit stories, with fetch quests and secrets, over that (Dragon's Dogma, anyone ?).

also to be fair they're both going to end up as $60 games on a shelf asking you for your money in exchange for what they offer as games
Well then, I think cyberpunk is not for you. Or any cdpr game for that matter
It's a CDPR game. The story is the one thing that they're going to nail above all else.
Also yeah, this game might not be for you based upon what we know.
The interesting thing about bloody baron was that it managed to be both. The main story brought you there but then you could elect to stay and much more completely explore things with that family.
I think it's more like http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Pearl_(quest)
It's a fetch quest but the difference is that you have some choices in how it plays out and they make you invested in the story of the quest.
"You hear about that girl seen running around with a sword and crazy eyes? This fucking city, man."
I mean this is just PR speak. I'm sure there will be good side quests, but I'm going to keep my expectations reasonable.
Yeah, most of the Witcher contracts where like that. I expect this game to be even better at that. I think their high quality dialogue system helps a lot. Every minor scene felt somewhat unique with tons and tons of unique animations and poses. Sure sometimes you'd see repeated animations but overall it really felt like you were getting curated handcrafted content.
Only the first part, once he
tells you were Ciri is, (about in the middle)
They improved a little bit. They also badly copied how W3 handles sidequests and so it felt like every AC before just with a little bit of Witcher seasoning. I liked Origins but let us not act like Origins holds a candle compared to W3s quests. Oddyssey looks more like a combination of W3 and Horizon Zero Dawn so maybe that will pull me in more
Yeah, it would be awesome if they could nail the gameplay variety as well.
Considering this is CDPR saying this I believe them.
Now can they please stfu cuz they ain't helping with the wait by saying shit like this :(

As has been said in the thread, this is pretty much what Witcher 3 was. I imagine they'd try to do it even better than they did it in TW3 for this game.
I still won't be playing it, but I hope they pull it off. I want to see BioWare and Bethesda shamed into actually trying harder in their next games.

The inevitable backlash against this game when it turns out it isn't literally a gift from God is going to be severe.
I forsee the main problem being on review embargo lifting day where somebody gives it an 8/10.
