There used to be a mod for that, but the author has disappeared. https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/4808

Ah, sad news, I liked his amateur netrunners and SDO mods
Btw, the good car handling mod isn't so much Immersive driving, but Cyber Vehicle Overhaul: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/3016

It's fun that side-jobs/gigs in Dogtown all have some minor post-quest effect in the world. For example if at the end of a gig you have the option to kill someone or make a deal with them, almost always there will be some further interaction in the world depending on what you chose, either receiving a call/text message from someone related to the quest or having an extra encounter in the world that is shaped by what you chose.

Just now I finished a gig where you have to steal some data or make a deal with its rather shady corpo owner, I made the deal, then proceeded to shoot the owner in the head anyway, and Johnny's hologram popped up and approvingly said "FINALLY". It's like the devs took some extra care and prepared the game to respond (to a smaller or greater extent) to pretty much anything the players might try during Phantom Liberty quests.

But this just changes the stats of vehicles, doesn't it? The mod I linked adds more controls, so you can accelerate slower or faster

I always thought CDPR was Bioware and they were Bethesda.

1. Masters of hype.

2. Janky jankynes.

3. Die-hard audience, but at least focused on the game itself and not the romances.

4. Lies, lies, lies.

5. "Mods will fix it".

6. Mods trully fix it!

The whole Panam story is really a microcosm of whats wrong with the game.
1. Talk-and-walk with no interaction or choices
2. Drive around
3. Short action sequence
4. Talk-and-walk with no interaction or choices

It's like the fucking Star Wars prequels.

Scaling difficulty checks on level is shit, locking them based on global difficulty is better. The mod you're linking is just "level scaling, but harder".
Either way you are using a conditional. The difference is which number you use to multiply by. And in this sense using the character level gives a more accurate result about the appropriate difficulty than the hardcoded and predictable game difficulty level.Of course for those who prefer the logic of "Use meta knowledge to draw a perfect path through the game" and like the metagaming, there is the other mod.

BTW car mods are working very well already. I was able to install Cyber Vehicle Overhaul, Erok Driving tweaks, Car Modification Shop, Car Dealer, all the car packs for Car Dealer, and Mercedes C63S AMG. I spen 192 000 eddies on it, but now I'm driving with style:

Vehicle perks, although interesting, are functionally useless because they only work on cars that you own, which you barely get to use for combat. You see, car combat only really happens in the new car missions, and those cars aren't flagged for the new perks for some weird reason. So either I'm missing something, or CDPR fucked up.

Even then they're just really weak by themselves. I thought being able to use Sandy while driving would mean I would've get something akin to Franklin's ability in GTA V, but it also slows the car too here, making it pretty much pointless (unless you enjoy watching car wrecks in slow motion)

Rebalancing acceleration also lets me accelerate slower or faster, but I don't need extra keymaps, so it seemed better to me. Also I never liked Cyberpunk's cars' handling and weight, even though they've gone through two official patches now with 2.0., so I put my hopes in this mod. I think driving feels somewhat better with it, though it might be placebo honestly.

For somewhat better feeling of driving I should connect my controller ot at least use a mechanical keyboard for the dosed pressure on keys, but I'm too lazy to do either currenty.

Ramming a katana down Brigittes throat did feel good though.
Massacring that entire gang is a highlight of the OC for sure. Fuckers.
One of the high points of Phantom Liberty is that there's a dialog choice to tell some vodoo boys in dogtown to let you in because you had no issue ganking Brigitte, so doing the same to them will be no problem for you :smug:

Well, I was doing the car mission where you steal a truck off of the arasaka ship, and the game crashed. Now any saved game I try to load crashes.

The funny thing is that I had zero crashes on the original release and finished it without problems. I've had several bugs in Phantom Liberty and now it's corrupted all my saves.

This conversation is hilarious to watch because they've swapped the voice files and the lines. The man talks with the woman's voice and vice versa:

What pisses me off is that you can miss specific loot if you don't have Body, Tech and INT maxed. So if you think Reflexes and Cool are nice, think again, they won't help you open doors among other things.
And don't "but they haz unique dialogue lines DUUUR" so does every other attribute.

On a side note, the game feels arcady as fuck now, CDPR really dropped the pretense of attempting to make this game somewhat grounded, enjoy your infinite grenades on cooldown and carry 50 weapons on you. Where do you hide them? Inside your fucking ASS!

Ok after playing it for a little while I have to ask: is this part 3 of the ancient gods dlc for Doom Eternal?
I mean...combat encounter after combat encounter. Are these people for real? This is an RPG according to them? The fuck....
I got to Chimera fight and I want to know: do the combat encounters actually continue like this until the end? Just one railroad of combat? Because if yes then I ain't playing this shit anymore.
