In case you’ve performed loads of Cyberpunk 2077, odds are you have given all three of the preliminary backstories the sport provides V – corpo, nomad, and streetkid – a whirl. Nicely, because of a mod, there’s now a contemporary fourth choice so that you can check out, full with its personal new intro sequence.
Yep, whereas The Witcher 3’s modding group has been creating and making an attempt out a lot of superior modding concepts this yr amid the look forward to The Witcher 4, with assist from the REDkit instruments CD Projekt put out for Geralt’s journey, Cyberpunk modders are additionally pushing the boundaries of what they’ll do with the studio’s different large RPG.
Enter modder Deceptious’s ‘New Lifepath Intro – Contemporary Begin’. It is a extremely complicated work that provides an entire new backstory choice and subsequently starting to a recreation that traditionally been tough to do issues sort of factor with – even stuff like small customized quests took a number of work, and are nonetheless fairly uncommon.
The mod’s new backstory is one which principally permits you to mix a little bit of two present ones, casting V as “each an ex-corpo and ex-nomad, returning to Night time Metropolis”. As such, as a substitute of beginning off working at Arasaka, chilling at El Coyote Cojo, or joyriding via the badlands, your journey will start with a prologue seqeunce of you hopping off a aircraft in NC’s Orbital Air terminal.
Important story characters Jackie, Misty, and Vik all play roles on this new intro mission, which then feeds into the default motage sequence of you and Jackie working your method via jobs till you get roped right into a sure Konpeki Plaza heist, and the sport actually will get going. Since your character’s been each a corpo and nomad, they’re going to have entry to each of these lifepaths’ distinctive chioces and dialogue choices all through the sport, although clearly you can determine which ones you truly decide when the time comes.
Deceptions has been engaged on this mod for a great whereas, often showcasing their progress on social media, so I would undoubtedly advocate trying out their Twitter feed in case you’re keen on what growing one thing this difficult for Cyberpunk is like. Additionally, in case you give the mod a go, you would possibly run into a number of teething points by the appears to be like of the feedback part, however I would say that is to be anticipated with a mod of this nature that is solely simply been launched.
In different current CD Projekt-themed information, the studio has not too long ago chatted about REDengine not being the route of Cyberpunk’s launch points, and I had a reasonably enjoyable time messing about with this Witcher 3 mod that turns Geralt right into a centaur.
