Yea I've heard that about the gameplay, but as long as the story is good enough I don't think I'll mind too much. I'll put it next on my list I think. Also just noticed its on sale on steam atm for anyone else reading.
I'm not entirely sure which community it is, but I can make an educated guess, and wonder why he didn't do the same since it looks like there was already a bigger community for said topic.
But yea I don't see an issue with having multiples of one topic across an instance, especially when some instances have smaller groups or are more focused on a certain type of person, I mean federation means anyone can participate of course, but it's more likely the ones on the instance are going to if it's a smaller group.
Hopefully the debuffs are big enough to have impact. Deux Ex: Mankind Divided had the overclock penalty for activating too many experimental augs, but the penalties were basically just annoyances, screen glitches and the like, plus there was a quest to just make overclocking not affect you negatively.. But yeah, I didn't expect full cyberpyschosis, but I did see some suggestions before, like occasionally having enemies that don't actually exist in the middle of a fight, or civilians looking hostile to bring out the NCPD against you. But we'll see, from what I'm seeing of the expansion from news/videos, it's looking great so far.
I love how detailed they are despite their size
