I absolutely loved cyberpunk 2077 and am eagerly waiting for a sequel (years to come from now I know lol) but one of the things I think I’d like to see in the sequel is more body modification options. I feel like we had an incredible amount of customizations available in the game for your V inside the character creator outside at the ripper docs, but I think having a blank slate character that you can craft yourself into whatever you want to be. Like a maelstrom borg with gnarly looking cyberware. Or even a beefed up 0% ganic tank like Adam smasher or maybe the exact opposite a 100% ganic character that uses special exploits for cyberware or uses appliances instead in implants. What do you all want to see from the sequel?

I would like a story with a smaller scope, I want to be a runner, a normal guy, just another piece of shit among others in NC with nothing special, I want to feel mortal like everyone else, I want to have the difficulty of being a normal person in a world where corporations rule and the world is so broken that my choice of profession was to risk my life as a mercenary in exchange for a few bucks, I want a group with me, be they NPCs, but that work together… I want to feel like I’m playing the TTRPG! The current game is very good, but it’s a powerfantasy, and Cyberpunk2020 was created to be many things, except a powerfantasy… it’s possible, of course, but it’s not what I like most about the game.
tbh all i want is
– having the possibility to gain nightvision for eye cyberware to see in the dark
– having those leg blades some enemies have those are fucking lit
More street level. Blackhand not Johnny. Let me build a crew.
Almost like you mentioned, but the Cyberpunk red cyberwear or just more visual/functional animated cyberware in general.
The nails in the let me down music video are sick, and I wish there was a mod for them, lol.
Maybe better and more takedown animations, too.
Things I’d like:
More interactivity with NPCs.
Dialog choices being a little more clear (as in sometimes I read a choice one way, but when I pick it V doesn’t use those words and/or it come out another way. Like being hostile when I didn’t mean that).
Be cool if there were a few more disguise vs stealth options. Like you need into an arasaka facility? Sure you can just break in, or do a mini gig where you can find a security guard, incapacitate them, steal their access card and uniform and just walk in.
Also, being able to like toss a pebble or something to try and distract a guard for just a second or two. Maybe a noisemaker “grenade”.
Cyberpunk 2077 is by FAR my most favorite video game easily worth of a legendary status but it has it’s short comings and things it can improve and should have been better in. I wish and hope the sequel will succeed where 2077 under delivered or flat out failed. That includes minor details like a flashlight to more immersive npcs/world to decisions that actually have impacts on the story (because when you think about it there are very few decisions that actually have an impact on the story) and I can go on.
Cp2077 is a solid base that is amazing and only to build and improve upon. Expectations for Orion is high, extremely high.
I wanted more corporate intrigue from inside the corp itself, running shady missions as a corp employee, moral dilemmas, backed by crazy resources, walking around in suits sneering at people.
Longer version of CORPO origin.
I want to be able to play in 1st or 3rd person like Fallout and Skyrim. I like first person for aiming, and then third person for melee, assault rifles, and shotguns.
I think companions would be an interesting change, basically if Jackie didn’t die. Being a mercenary duo would possibly fill the hole of not having an engram to chat with during missions. Also might open up some new game mechanics.
A fair and consistent route to maximum cyberware capacity! 🤣
Body modification options would be very welcome, as you say.
More relationship options, and not necessarily sexual relationships either, just more characters to connect with and have interesting storylines.
Honestly though, warts and all, more of the same.would do!
1. In Engine Cinematics
2. Weapon Variety
3. Actual Non Lethal ways of doing missions and characters that recognize that you just didn’t kill a dude even tho I just choked him out
4. Side Gigs having more impact to main character rep and main missions
5. Better AI enemies
Those are some off the top of my head. IMO, there’s a lot more that they could do to also improve the RPG aspect of the game, but I lack the brain power right now to describe it in detail right now.
Endgame: Kill Meyers.
If you can use fast travel from the location wherever your character is located, people can get unstuck without having to revert to a previous save.
More cyber and definitely more punk
One thing I’d wish for in the sequel which would really help immerse myself more in the world, is the improvement of the verticality in Night City. Places like Redwood market which are a dozen levels above the street look very nice and would love to see more of in the sequel (if feasible).
– More visible customisation cyberware customisation. Let me get a cool cyborg arm like Mitch.
– More third-person content. I want to see the work I put into designing my character more than just bike rides and mirrors (that you have to switch on first). 2077 did a good job with writing its cutscenes in first person, but I still miss seeing my actual character.
– Functioning companion AI and more companions on missions in general.
– Heists. V was a solo for good reasons. Next, I want to play a character that works as part of a team we can build and customise, planning heists for many many missions instead of just one highly-linear heist we get at the beginning of 2077. Planning and executing the Black Sapphire heist in Phantom Liberty came close, but was still generally quite linear and didn’t change much based on player input. I wanna see modular heists where we can choose the approach we take, the equipment we use, and the characters that accompany us.
A little minor but adding adding random vehicles to your owned vehicles. I wanted to own the ncpd cars. And more joy toys. I think there’s only 4 total. Have street cred mean something in game. Like other mercs treat you different or certain gigs unlock at higher levels. Side content that’s as meaty as the game,like gwent was for the witcher.
* Better reputation system/Street Cred that affects how people treat us, gang reputation etc.
* more verticality around the map so we can traverse at insane heights
* car customization and avs
* in-depth customization to replace every body part with cosmetic/combat cyberware, limit it with cyberpsychosis of course
* more cyberware
* Proper introductions/relatioships to fixers
* More activities around the world outside of quests like takign a cab, drinking/eating, riding metro seamlessly etc.
* more NPC variety on the streets
* Better enemy ai that can follow us, jump across obstacles/reach highground, use their cyberware like we do
* longer main story that doesn’t contradict exploration
* more ways to see our character like reflections of all sorts, also some TPP cutscenes for like in the 2018 demo would be really cool, keep the intense story moments in FPP tho, that was great
* Maybe have a crew that we can do gigs with and take with us to do activities around the world
* better lifepaths or a fixed protagonist
* more vehicle variety (bikes, scooter, bus etc.)
* wall running/climbing with mantis blades obviously
More flexible romance options and also different body types for character not just the one…
Maybe this is a dumb answer but me personally? A smaller scale story.
Teched out fights with Smasher and high level foes in saka HQ is cool and all that but I’d rather have brawls in dirty alleys.
A crew with cool memorable characters is all I need 😭😭
I want the player’s choice of cyberware to play a greater role in the story.
In PL there is a part where the President helps you open a stuck door, but I had gorilla arms and was really confused.
Better Life Paths, And I Know This Would Take A While To Make Happen But Being Able To Choose A Voice For Your V Like Character, I Think The Ones We Got Are Good But They Don’t Fit Every V, And A Broken Robotic Like Voice Would Go Hard As Fuck.
1. Third person mode so I could see all the gear I collect
2. I want to run a crew (let me make my own gang of hyped up maelstrom)
3. More life to NPCs , back stories etc… (so I feel a little guilty when I run them over)
4. Like many said a companion system of sorts
The game’s based on a TTRPG, right? We had an excellent example of a full single and/or multiplayer CRPG based on a TTRPG come out last year that people loved! I’d like to see more TTRPG mechanics in the game if they can pull it off. I probably would like a silent protagonist much more too.
more clothing options, maybe a little more car customization, and MORE OUTFIT SLOTS
So many things, but for real: PUT TRENT REZNOR in there in some way…. music, character cameo, likeness…

Lowkey, a V and Panam duo kicking ass together
Cyberware that is more visible on your character.
A game where I’m not doomed
What I want to see in the sequel:
* Improving on the car (and all other vehicle) aethestic like you can custom your ride
* Also adding flying car and ride
* Having different type of eye cyberware like x-ray nightvision or thermalvision
* More customization for your home
* Improve on the parkour like being able to climb and even go the rooftop of some megastructure
* Why not add some jetpack
* Choose path life that will make you a loner or a guy with a crew
* Better romance option like hell you can romance perhaps like anyone of importance that is not a random NPC
I think I elaborated enough.
