They announced a free DLC early 2021, so I suspect it will contain content that was cut for initial launch

Or we could lucky and it’s like Shivering Isles, one of the best DLC’s of all time.

Bethesda isn't the best model to use. We can look at what CDPR did for Witcher 3.

2 Expansion packs and 16 free DLC - which ranged from cosmetic shit to new quests. Who knows what this game will end up getting, but at least 1 expansion seems like a guarantee.

My guesses for free DLC stuff if we use Witcher 3 as a base model:

1) Change appearance at a Ripperdoc (hair style/etc). This is a pretty requested feature and seems like a fairly easy gimme
2) Car customization
3) Some new gigs/quests
4) Alternate appearances for main story quest NPCs, like Panam and Judy and maybe even Johnny
5) Some new cosmetics you can get
6) Maybe some expanded text message interactions with main characters (lets you continue to develop some characters on the cheap w/o the voice actor availability)

I suspect anything really major, like new factions or expanded romance and new skills/etc they will save for the expansions.

I fucking hate that mini/boss encounters don't start until they actually see you and their health bar shows up. Makes quickhacks fucking useless and half the time it's in a tiny square arena where my 7 Body character gets rekt in two hits and I need to find some way to cheese the npc.

Cripple Movement has worked on every boss so far and they all keep their heads nice and steady for the duration.

Finally finished the game. I got to the final act in roughly 15 hours, then spent a few days doing side quests and gigs to level up and augment my character. Got the handgun "Skippy" and the Sniper rifle "Overwatch," plus I got the Jincu-Maru katana (which pissed me off cause I got this blade right after I spent 15k on the mantis blades). My overall impression of the game is "meh." I felt like once the awe of Night City wore off, it was a pretty basic "go here, do this, kill him/her" quest hub game, which I found to be disappointing. I was hoping for a little bit more emergent game play. It also seemed like the game really wanted you to use stealth to do most of the missions, but after you take down 1 or 2 guys, you almost always get spotted, and it's just not worth the headache or the hassle to try and sneak around, so it was always easier to just go in slicing and dicing.

Few other minor complaints:
1. Melee weapons are way overpowered, and guns are way underpowered. Aside from using "Overwatch" or "Skippy" to do headshots to take out far away enemies, I used my katana or mantis blades to kill roughly 90% of the enemies in the game. There just wasn't enough of a reason to shoot anyone when your melee attacks do way more damage, especially after you augment your body with stealth and "falcon" and some of the other melee cyberware upgrades.

2. I felt a little bit of quest overload. I like how many quests and gigs were available in the game, but at one point, when I had over 80 in my journal, it was almost too much. I could barely keep track of whom I was supposed to help or meet at one point because I was getting phone calls and texts literally every couple of minutes. I think they could've done a little bit of a better job of allowing you to discover some of these quests on your own by exploring, instead of just having people constantly calling you like you work for Uber.

3. It didn't really feel like the choices you made in conversations had any real impact on the game. Eventually, no matter what you said, you would be forced to click on the yellow dialogue to advance the chat. The only time I thought it really determined anything impactful in the game was when I got to have sex with Panam. I admit, I cheated and looked up online to see what I needed to say to her at each section of her quest line to get it right, but aside from that, it just didn't seem like the choices you made in conversations impacted the game at all in a meaningful way.

4. Way too much weapon/item bloat. You have to spend so much time looting crap, then trying to disassemble guns you don't want, selling shit you don't need, and trying to figure out what to keep and what to toss out, it got a little irritating.

Definitely not saying I regret buying the game. I got a good 10 or so full days of fun out of it, even if the game seemed to get slightly repetitive towards the end. I would say it didn't come anywhere close to the hype surrounding it (probably would've been nearly impossible to meet those expectations), and I'm not sure I'd even put it in my top 5 games of 2020. I'm really not that interested in playing it again, as I don't think choosing another path would make replaying the game that much different or enjoyable, but I'll probably enter Night City again after a few patches, and hopefully when multiplayer is added sometime next year.

If you're doing the Voodoo part in Pacifica, you're getting close to Act 3.

Currently at 88 hours in the game. Level 50. I've primarily focused on all the side stuff. I've cleared the map of all the minor gigs except one (that monk meditation one), finished Judy and Panam's quests, all NCPD hustles, all tarot cards and cyberpsychos. Right now I need to meet Goro in Japantown to go over the parade plan to progress the MSQ, finish up the Dream On quest, and meet up with River after he called me to have dinner at his sister's house. I'm sure more stuff will open up after I progress in the MSQ more.

Def got my moneys worth from the game. According to steam, I've spent more time playing this than I did Fallout 3 & all its DLCs (83 hours).

The 'romance' just feels completely out of place in this game seeing as how you almost literally have a ticking time bomb in your head, but I guess that's true about 90% of the game since realistically your character should be laser-goddamned focused on taking care of the relic rather than running around fighting crime and doing side jobs. I mean at least the Panam scene makes use of the setting, but the constant cuts in her and Judy's scenes (and I assume in Kerry and River's scenes) bring to mind Genisys and the absurd camera gymnastics they went through not to have nudity on screen despite getting naked for time travel and a sex scene.

Maybe the lack of character development for V makes it hard to write that kind of shit.
When your dick wants to get wet you may not be rational about it ok?

Romancing Kerry who's had his dick hard for Silverhand for 60 years when Silverhand isn't gay but your character is probably has some lulz commentary.

Who the fuck is river? I turned the game off after trying to beat Adam smasher last night, so I assume I'm close to the end. I don't know who river is, but I think I remember some twink hooker named river?

He's a cop that you, a criminal, decide to become best buds with for no real reason aside from him being a romance option if you're playing chick V.

Wait is River gay? I thought Kerry was the gay option. There was an option to try and kiss him at the end of the quest but I assumed it was just lead to a very awkward 'uh im straight' moment, sorta like how Judy gets all huffy when you compliment how good her ass looks in that wetsuit but then parades around in front of you half-naked later despite not wanting to hook up.

Judy's quest being another great example of something I never would have done if I wasn't trying to get into her pants.
