Are we talking about the woman who you go to meet at the start and who gives you a credit chip for the deal with a virus on it? (Which i hacked out of course). At the end of that mission I was told she'd been killed.

That's interesting! I used the chip (how do you hack chips?!) and they realised after I tried using it to pay and that's when gooseberry fool went down. I then met her outside and we had a chat before she left

You can hack locked data shards in one of the menus IIRC. If you give Meredith's shard to Maelstrom without disabling it she'll text you early in act 2 to hook up.

Thanks Mori.

I'm fully off the main quest now and just bumbling my way around Night City from icon to icon. This kinda open world approach normally puts me off but right now I'm just enjoying exploring the city and the missions so have far been varied enough in tone and content that I'm quite happy.

Just did a great contract at a funeral where I had to get the implants off a dead body in the morgue downstairs. I hacked the holograph of the dead guy at the funeral to make him dance which caused a commotion and distracted the guard on the door, letting me slip downstairs where I took the first goon out with a hack and then snuck up and took out the second one when he came to investigate. Stole the stuff from the body and ran back upstairs, tried a door that didn't lead back to the main room and found a garage with their wheels in which I stole and sped off. It's such great fun when it all comes together like that :cool:

strawberry float, bought a bike and it's an absolute game changer for getting round Night City. So much more easier and so much fun :datass:

Just loving bombing round from whatever side missions takes my fancy to the next at the moment, taking it all in :cool:

I never touched cars once I got a bike, so much better especially since they've now made it so that you can pop a wheelie :datass:

Trying that :datass:

And you can also wield a katana while riding a bike :datass:

The Kusanagi was my favourite bike in the game.

Bikes were much more fun than cars. Don't think I voluntarily used a car again once I got the my first bike.

Some of the Nomad cars are amazing, don't be so quick to dismiss everything with 4 wheels.

Yeah, the cars feel great too. There's a particular nice one found in a cave, that comes in black :shifty:

Popping handbrake drifts in a car though :datass:

2 wheels good 4 wheels bad

When I played it through, the bikes were the better option, I barely did any side content though :shifty:

So I think the bike you got as part of the story (or via an early side quest) was a much better choice than the poor starting car. Whenever I get around to this again I'll be hoping to do a load more of the side content.

I still find the handling model for cars to be pretty crap, they're just not as much fun to drive as bikes.

Traffic density is still really poor compared to most other games as well - makes driving feel a bit dull as the roads of this apparently overcrowded super metropolis are always so empty. Particularly noticeable when the fake sprite cars in the distance keep disappearing ass you bet closer! :lol:

I actually appreciate the lack of traffic, it makes it easier to bomb around :lol:

I find the cities to be packed, to the point I keel getting run over

They do a decent job most of the time of making sure there's always a few cars in you immediate vicinity (although even then they sometimes take a while to start rolling in and the density is nothing like what other open world city games give) but there's hardly ever anything beyond that - the mid distance and out is spookily quiet

If I'm playing a game to escape the annoyances of real life, the last thing I want is to get stuck in strawberry floating traffic.

There's a balance to be found, and for me this is too far on the quiet side. Driving across the city and seeing the main roads virtually empty is dull as hell - I don't want to be stuck in gridlock but there's more fun to be had if you actually have to weave through things, judge a corner right so you can thread the needle between obstacles etc.

Then there's the immersion side of it - so much of the lore describes the city as being overcrowded, a space pushed to its limits etc. when that doesn't gel with what you're actually seeing it's jarring

More like Shite City amirite
