JWL Cyberpunk BLACKWALL - Complete Gameplay Overhaul and Rebalance

ltDAq9xmkU8

Cyberpunk 2077: BLACKWALL is a project aimed at improving and expanding upon existing features and mechanics in the vanilla game. I have carefully tweaked and tested hundreds of different variables to produce what I feel is the most optimal experience. In addition to the many changes that come with this mod, I have also added several new items as well. See the FEATURES section below for more information on all the various changes and additions.

I strongly suggest starting a NEW SAVE! Cyberpunk BLACKWALL was made with the intention of being played on the "VERY HARD" difficulty, but is available for all other difficulties as well. Balance may be off on the easier difficulties as they remain untested. If you play on one of these difficulties let me know!

This mod was originally inspired by HARDCORE22 - Realistic Combat Overhaul as I prefer fast-paced reactionary combat over the "shoot enough numbers until the bullet sponge dies" combat in most of the vanilla game. However, I was sorely disappointed with how the mod completely guts the RPG elements of this very fantastic RPG. So I set out to essentially create a marriage of the two extremes; bullet sponges are reserved for bosses/psychos while still not overdoing it, putting less emphasis on having big enough numbers to take on an enemy without completely eliminating that element, and improving the overall feeling and flow of combat, while also maintaining the existing RPG elements and sense of character progression. Of course, once I adjusted a handful of these values I found myself digging through the entire game to make tweaks. The result is a complete rebalancing of the game. The list of changes is exhaustive and expanded upon further below.

The current version available (1. 0. 0) is only an initial release and should not be considered "feature complete". Expect adjustments to be made in the future that may affect the current balance as things are play tested and changed accordingly. New items/mechanics/rebalances are planned (see "ROADMAP" section below).

Only available in English. If you make a translation please send it my way and I'll include it in the main mod.

Level Cap:

• (NEW in 1. 1. 0) The level cap has been increased from 50 to 80. This includes everything that is influenced by level; player, NPCs, items, etc. I'm actually unsure if it's possible to hit the new max level with the amount of vanilla content but you'll be close to 100% completion by the time you do. Also increases the exp requirements for the first 20 levels slightly. Street Cred cap has also been increased to 80 but serves no purpose beyond 50 (yet).
