Act 2 Start (Clean)

I was tired of running Prologue and Act 1 every time I made a new character, and I wanted something like a blank slate save that just skipped to Act 2 so I made this. I have rushed to Act 2 touching only that which I absolutely had to while picking up missables (details below).

I sent Jackie’s body to his mother because I assume that’s what most people choose.

Same with saving Brick and flatlining Royce and Dum Dum. Used the militech shard to fry Maelstrom, the usual stuff.

If you want a female/corpo/nomad V I guess you can try messing around with the save file editor, that’s up to you.

There are multiple versions of this save with tinkered effects. Details below.

Here are the story deets of the save:

Hard difficulty

Male V, default customization (get your ass to a ripper and customize)

Every dialogue option, I chose the default. No blues.

Unique choices:

Punched up the robot and started “Beat the Brat”

Picked up the gun from Wilson for “The Gun”

Ignored Barry the Prophet

Pet the cat outside Vic’s

Picked up T-Bug’s Netrunner gift and completed “The Gift”

Paid Maelstrom with infected Militech Chip

Saved Brick, killed Royce & Dum Dum + picked up Chaos from Royce

Didn’t tell Dex about Evelyn’s proposal to cut him out

Picked up Iguana egg, Yorinobu’s clothes (Shirt, Pants, Coat), Yorinobu’s gun Liberty, Satori sword, Nehan knife, Saburo’s Diary during the Heist

Sent Jackie’s body to his mother

Johnny told Kerry “see you in the next life, friend”

Nothing looted except the above and a few Cyberware Capacity Shards from Maelstrom & Heist enemies. Nothing read, no NCPD done, no gigs, no side missions, I didn’t even pay Victor (that was tough). I did reply to the text messages I received and cleared the inbox, but not the emails.

4 Save Files to choose from:

Natural Act 2 -> This is if you’re paranoid about the Save Game Editor, even though it’s never caused any problems for me in 600+ hours. V has used a pistol and grenades so far. He has gained the normal experience from doing story missions in Act 1. He is level 10 with Street Cred 6 and has points in Body 6, Reflex 6, Tech 4. The 9 Attribute and 9 Perk Points are unspent.

Edited Act 2 -> Same as Save File A, except that Save Editor has been used to set all Attributes to 3 with the points refunded and waiting for you to spend. This gives you 16 Attribute points as you would have in character creation, plus the 9 Attribute Points you would have by Level 10.

True Level 1 -> Save Editor has been used to reset V to level 1 in everything -> Level, Street Cred, Skills. All Attributes at 1, with 26 points from refunding the cut to 1 and also the amount you would get in character creation. No Perk Points as you are Le
