Yee this is how I discovered there's an invisible ceiling eventually. But you can also climb high enough to ride on the trains in some areas so I forgive the max height, especially since its real fuckin far up.

You need that leg enhancement.

It's the only way to play the game. If you played all the way through without trying this, all I can say is you missed out.

With the jump and the air dash you will be an unstoppable melee demon. And it will be fun.

Think I jinxed myself making a post about it. I'm 14 hours in with zero issues, but since I made this post every time I start the game within 1-10 minutes the game freezes totally with the audio still playing. Trying a clean reinstall in case it was a mod, but hadn't added anything since I started playing.

I haven't found many, but even though I'm 16 hours into the game I've mainly been exploring the first area. There was one in a little U shaped area full of junk sellers and stuff, building on the right walking in you could climb up ACs and balconies and find a door with no option to open it, so I just tried hitting it with a bat and that worked. Was kind of disappointed when the next 50 windows I tried did not.

But I'm 14 hours in, level 8 and I've just upgraded my cyberdeck to 1+ but I have like 6 level 2-4 schematics for neuromancy things from hacking in to all the network jacks I've found in weird places. And 60k monies, 3 iconic weapons, and... a bunch of food and booze. Which I think I should sell since it all seems pretty worthless bonus wise.

Go on...

Just pick something that looks interesting and go for it. The areas are level scaled now, so you don't have to worry about wandering into a high level zone.

Let me recommend playing the main story until you see the title screen. You may have done the "tutorial" but until you see the title screen you are still very much in the "intro" of the game.

A lot of them you will know when you die very quickly that you're not ready. It autosaves a lot so just load a recent save if you need to. I think the quests have recommended levels too?

The way I did it any time I finished a mission I would just look at what was closest to me on the map and do that next... It usually worked out ok.

I find it relaxing to not take seriously. It's like a mix of GTA and Assassin's Creed with beautiful graphics and a good soundtrack. The story is good, but not so good that I want to see how it ends right away.

Man, I couldn't even get past the tutorials. It was all so overwhelming. The cyberware and combat I was ready for but the memory stuff was just too much. I can't remember systems within systems and having to remember details from dreams asked too much.

Beautiful game. Cool environment. Just too busy.

I honestly did main missions until a lot of side quests (actual side quests, not police requests or gang activity spots) opened up, then did as manage side missions I could until none were left.

Rinse and repeat! The stuff you get, and the experiences you have, just in the side missions alone are worth doing in between main missions!

Have fun, and just do what you feel like in the moment! Even if it’s climbing everything possible to find some breakable windows. ;-P

I have the difficulty set on normal and it's way too easy. For reference I'm in my 40s and spent my life as a mainly turn-based RPG gamer with a few things like Max Payne and Bioshock tossed in along the way.

The only time I wandered into something I shouldn't have was actually a very early quest you get. Cyberpsychos. I don't know if some/most of them can be taken down easily at a lower level, but I was level 5 when I ran in to my first one.... some crazy woman who had super military mods and was invisible most of the time. Tried a dozen times and got my ass beat hard without fail.

Everything else has been cake.

Thanks I recently reinstalled for another play through and was wondering what build I might go with. I used to be a stealth sniper with all the movement upgrades for rapid repositioning. A wimp basically, lol

Game is insanely good looking, only real gripe with it is spending an hour in character customization then realizing that lighting is nothing like normal so my character only looks good in the customization screen.

I can't be too far in. I got to my apartment, car the first cyberdoc, and talked to Barret in his car.

I'm to busy exploring to do their story. It's funny, I've seen people online say not to pay back what you owe that first cyberdock but I have like twice that much money from just exploring it stealing and murder hoboing.

NPCs keep getting pissed at me. In that tutorial apartment part Jackie must have told me to hurry up 100 times because I was busy looting everything.

I'll see an openable door while trying to do a quest and be gone for 3 hours climbing shit and have no idea what I was doing when I get back. :D

There's a setting in one of the mod things I installed that lets you disable the auto-teleport when you get out of range... so I might just be wandering places you were never intended to go anyway.

I learned that one, and also that dismembering a body and just grabbing the torso doesn't slow your movement speed down nearly as much as trying to dispose of the whole thing. And apparently leaving dismembered limbs and severed heads doesn't make it clear there was murderin' afoot on unless there's also a torso.

Been thinking about doing the same recently. I first played it about a year after launch and didn't even get into the DLC even though I bought it. I think I tried it and it was weirdly difficult, like this save beat the base game and I get 1 punched and do zero damage go enemies in the DLC area.

Started thinking I'd start a new save also. My first save was also corpo.
