Just wondering because I’m not sure yet myself. I’ve read that many of the core mechanics would be updated/changed even in the base game. Because of that I’m thinking about starting from the beginning.

    Yeah I feel you kind of have to because they changed everything from skills and equipment. Starting fresh is probably best in case there are bugs with your old saves.

    I’ve done a netrunner build and an annihilation/berserk shotgun build. I’m planning on doing some sort of sandevistan build this time around, maybe knives or pistols.

    Has much info about the new talent trees come out?

    I kinda don’t want to go through the early sections all over again but it feels like you gotta restart with all the changes to core gameplay. I really wish we had NG+ at the very least for skin and vehicle unlocks, maybe a few weapons if they get scaled down so they don’t make the game trivially easy. I want Johnny’s gun earlier in the game 😥

    My first build was cyberdeck/stealth/pistol and it made the most sense, for the second one I tried sandevistan/techie and it felt weird. Maybe I go back and replay with a stealth oriented one since it was fun despite the janky hacking.

    Yes, since they want to change so much regarding the perks and the weapons. I also want to play a new build. My first character was a mantis blade build and my second character was a tech weapons build. This time around I want to play a monowire/netrunner build.

    Hadn’t thought about it. I thought it would be intended for you to play it with a high level character, but I guess it might make sense if a bunch of the game has been updated. I haven’t played a brawler or a tech build yet.

    Yep I will. I want to try all the new content they apparently added + the new perk tree and cyberpsychosis with a brand new character.

    I really want to play the game right now, start a new file, make a new build. But I should probably wait until phantom liberty comes out. I am so hyped I cannot wait.

    Didn’t they say there would be a decent amount of time between when 2.0 was released and the release of the DLC? I was planning on starting a new game up once 2.0 gets released and seeing all the changes before the DLC comes out and I check that out.

    Im trying to not touch the game until the expansion, that way I might forget some of the story details and sidequests a bit more and experience it agin when I do a new and fresh replay with the new overhaul of mechanics.
