I suppose what mostly the me for a loop is the per-character-per-statistic progression that results in another type of badge? Leading to multiple hundreds of individual progression bars now, all for some badge that I haven’t even yet seen anywhere except the post-game screen.
I will say that I hate to call something like Cyberpunk an RPG at all. It feels almost entirely like a shooter, with the RPG parts somewhat tacked-on. This is more evident even with the missing 6th spec tree and how, even after massive rebalancing, the whole level-up and spec-system are entirely irrelevant without a lot of mods.
Don’t get me wrong, modded the system works well.
But as installed, it’s just all rubbish and feels almost forgotten by the devs.
