Don't worry too much about early game speech checks. The game knows your skill levels are low, so the story plays into Henry needing to improve. Also, don't be afraid to flee a fight you aren't prepared for. You won't majorly ruin future content unless you start murder hobo-ing. Enjoy the game! It's quite a treat in my opinion :)

To the folks recommending the game, can I ask you a question? Not trying to antagonize, just curious:

What makes Cyberpunk click for you? I played at launch, wasn't really enthralled, and refunded. I later grabbed it on sale + Phantom Liberty DLC, played through the main story and half of the DLC, and it still never clicked for me. I wasn't entirely bored, but there were so many moments where I felt like the game world didn't really care what I did unless I was playing a main mission.

What are some things I can try in Cyberpunk to see if it clicks for me?

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to point out that your username followed by your argument gave me a good chuckle.

OBJECTION!!!

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Subtle but unusual is a good way to describe it.

However, I would like to point out that if it is their branding, then the character appearing is an advertisement for the service. It's just not very conventional or effective advertising, but they're not making money from a vast majority of implementations, so it's not very egregious anyway.

How far in are you? In the beginning section of the game, >!Henry and Hans have a big fallout, but it eases up after the first main story beat!<.

Yeah, it seems entirely optional. It's not like manually removing the Anubis character will revoke your access to the code. However, I still do find it a bit weird that they're asking for that.

I just can't imagine most companies implementing Anubis and keeping the character or paying for the service, given that it's open source. It's just unprofessional for the first impression of a company's website being the Anubis devs' manga OC...

If anyone here is playing KC:D2, the actor for Hans Capon (Luke Dale) made a mini-docu on the threat of AI to voice acting. I thought it was well edited and presented the problem in a very digestible way for those who know little about AI, so here it is for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/R55QzK8Hles

So do you mean to suggest "quatre-vingt-dix" just means 90 and doesn't also mean "four-twenty-ten"?

I don't think microtransactions are inherently bad, they are just used in the most greedy, money-grabbing ways.

There are some free-to-play games that don't restrict your access to any gameplay at all as a free player, which can only be subsidized by microtransactions. If it's just cosmetics, and they're priced fairly, I wouldn't feel any concern over it.

I say this as someone who will put 100 hours into a f2p game and maybe spend $10-20 on a skin or two. I feel that it's fair to spend that much after reaping so many hours of play.

Isn't fewer the better choice in formal English because years is a countable plural noun?

...they broke the window with a tree branch?
