So, I pre-purchased Phantom Liberty, it’s been a while since I played the game, should I wait for it to actually release and do a new playthrough from scratch with the expansion, or start a playthrough now to have a fresh fully built character to dive into the expansion stuff?

Opinions are solicited!

    I would wait and play through again once the expansion is released, it sounds like they are making wide-sweeping improvements to the base game as well.

      Last time I played I went crazy with mods, I think whatever I do it’s going to be back to vanilla.

      Maybe I’ll finally do a throwing knife build that I never got around to. I love how versatile the game is. No two playthroughs have been the same.

        They’re apparently reworking the perk system amongst many other improvements. There are some lists kicking around here somewhere. They read like my wishlist, I’m super psyched.

        Every time I’ve played through I’ve ended up with a netrunner who goes off like a neutron bomb killing everyone in a three mile radius without stepping foot inside the mission zone. I’m beginning to think it’s me.

          Its just the strongest/more interesting way to play. Same problem as Skyrim’s stealth archer.

          Contagion is so good. My only gripe with it is the bug where the ticking sound of the quickhack keeps playing even when you exit the quickhack view. It gets very annoying very fast. Otherwise, open up with contagion, finish the job with suicide and synapse burnout just for fun.

            I like cyberpsycho too… It would be ready to go again as soon as the last one finally gets taken down.

              Cyberpsycho is really good, but I like the passives that legendary Synapse Burnout (Defeating an enemy with any quickhack causes nearby enemies to panic) and Suicide (Causing an enemy to panic reduces the RAM cost of your next Ultimate quickhack by 2) provide. It allows for chain suicides in most cases.

    I find it a little bit funny to pre-order a dlc for cyberpunk after seeing how it originally launched :p
    But anyhow, yeah. I have been following the development and I’m pretty hyped. I think I’m gonna start a new save for it. I hope it will be worth it.

        My god, I completely forgot about that game. I’m pretty sure it’s been abandoned tho :(

          Yeah well they’ve gone back to scratch like six times. Three different developers, two publishers, someday my grandchildren will play it for me, when my hands are too arthritic to hold a controller 🤣

            HHAHAHAHAH yeah, and knowing Paradox it will probably release as a buggy mess. So we’ll have to wait even longer until they patch it 😔

    I’d never pre order a CD Projekt game/dlc after what happened with Cyberpunk at launch… And I’m speaking as someone who really enjoyed that game

      How didn’t people learn! Never preorder! From any developer, wait for reviews first.

    From what it sounds like, it seems like enough of an overhaul that I’d probably start a whole new playthrough. I’ll have to wait and see what reviews are like though. I bought the original game on sale after most of the issues were fixed. I’m not sure I trust CDPR to release something finished just yet.
