This is all well and good, but counterpoint. A big thing of 2077's design is cool factor over functionality. While I agree there still needs to be SOME form of functionality, and destroying NC is out of the question, the potential to be over the top should remain.
Studio Trigger’s novel ideas for Cyberpunk as a setting are usually incredibly stupid and make it worse not better. CDProjekt Red would never write something as stupid as the Cyberskeleton or Project Capricorn, and it is excessively obvious that these things were just barely over the threshold of what CDPR would tolerate.
