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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
