Was brainstorming what new features i would like to see in Project Orion that would help differentiate our new protagonist from V in 2077.
As you know V is a solo brute force war machine from the gates of hell. But what if our new protagonist was like a Morgan Blackhand 2.0 in terms of battle IQ but instead has access to a Cybernetic pet companion that could be chromed in different ways depending on the mission?
The companion could adopt a sleek panther like build for stealth, giving the player access to a partner that can perform solo takedowns, hide bodies, activate optical camo when not in combat, or a berserker build by enhancing the companion with weaponry, similar to Blade wolf in MGS Vengeance.
Seeing as pets were soft launched in 2077 (The Cat and the Iguana) what if we get a John Wick situation where your pet dog gets killed and the Orion Protagonist digitizes their pets sub consciousness into a prototype combat robot similar to Soul killer allowing you to transfer your pets sub consciousness between the different battle frames which each have their own abilities?
This phenomenon isn’t new as Adam Smasher himself performs this same act of transferring his body into different frames depending on the circumstance.
I believe he had a frame that was more human like for when he goes on dates, but the frame we see in 2077 is his combat frame.
Edit: The companion could have a call to arms device like a remote which occupies your grenade slot making the companion a completely optional utility tool that you can call, and has a cooldown / time limit
What do you guys think?
