Now that I've finished it, I don't even know what to say. It was one hell of a journey. Definitely had me hooked after it started to pick up the pace. And the characters are quite likeable. But the fucking endings.. kinda gut me.
There's some things I couldn't care less for, like crafting and the amount of skills. Some players might appreciate the depth of customisation, but I would have preferred something more streamlined. I mean, that's my general opinion on it. This could have been a great linear game with semi-open areas and some light customisation, something similar to Dishonored for instance. Don't get me wrong, the world is beautiful and a spectacle to look at, but they clearly overstretched themselves.

Have you seen The Queen's Gambit yet?
Also, would love to see that. Maybe you can get sponsorship from https://www.coregames.com/
There's always a glimmer of hope
Yeah, I'm more interested in exploring the world than doing any of the missions. So many nooks and crannies.
Definitely having fun with the bugs and exploring the world. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the information, characters, menus, mechanics.. but I've been playing in short sessions in order to process things. Anyway, here's some spoiler free screenshots:

Shitposting aside, the game can look pretty amazing at times. The world is so packed, you need to stop a bit to take it all in.

Let's just ignore the fact that nobody made a thread for 2020.
For me, short term is to publish San Juan (remake of my csgo contest entry) and update it through the first quarter of next year. Long term would have to be picking more healthy habits like a constant sleep schedule and being a bit more physically active (like even going for a walk more regularly). And of course, I would like to try a more elaborate project 
Most common complaints are related to bugs. All reviewers agree that the quests and world buildings are top notch. Just a few more days and we can check that out.
It would be a novelty element, cool to see the first time and never looked at again afterwards. Idk, I guess it could have some strategic gimmick potential? If you make large puddles towards some corners or areas that you have to avoid as to not give your position away. I doubt it's worth the time investment.

You can decompile the workshop version. As you're probably going to replace most of the stuff, shouldn't be that much of an issue?
So yeah, this exists now.. in VR even

"As Rafał Jaki, business development director at CD Projekt Red, tweeted, "I guess mimicking is the highest form of praise?" Yes, Cyberpunk 2077, still over a week away from releasing (December 10 for real and definite this time), already has a porn parody. How do you make a parody of Cyberpunk 2077 when it isn't even out yet? Put it in VR and make the girls look like Netrunner card art, apparently."
Could do with some Alan Wake right about now
