📋 About This Mod

Since I originally didn't plan to add this amount of things into these mods and I did them anyway, I may as well set up my page on Buy me a coffee. This page is free for me anyway :)

I was using Immersive State-based Attributes until cyberpunk 2. 0 dropped. rfuzzo was probably busy, while I feel the game is mostly unplayable as the game kept asking me to make a choice on attributes. So, I took the idea and wrote a code real quick, and decided to upload to here cuz I feel like contributing to the mod community after years of lurking.

Mod Purpose

First, Cyberpunk 2077 has four Character Development Systems:

  • (1) Character Level(2) Attribute Level(3) Perks System (i.e., the one that allow you jump out of a vehicle)(4) Skill Progression.

(If you open your character attribute tab, click the "Skill Progression" button at the bottom right corner, and then you will find out your character's skills progression.)

Second, each attribute has only ONE corresponding skill progression in post-2. 0 vanilla game :

Shinobi   <----------------->   Reflexes

Engineer   <--------------->  Technical Ability

Headhunter   <---------->   Cool

Netrunner   <------------->   Intelligence

Solo   <--------------------->   Body

Now, this mod linked them together based on two methods:

  • (1) Completely disable vanilla Attribute Point System such that Attribute level can only be acquired through Skill Progression.(2) Retain this Attribute Point System but allow extra Attribute Level from Skill Progression.
  Did the latter as some people seem to enjoy laboriously assigning Attribute Points (´;ω;`)ウゥゥ

Configuration

You will need to use Mod Settings to find all the options.

Before you install this mod, I recommend you to

  • []refund your perks. (If your attribute point drops, it may block you from accessing a perk to refund.)[/]

    []do a manual save just in case.[/]

Skillful Attributes ties attribute growth to skill usage, so fighting in specific ways boosts related attributes. It speeds up player development and is configurable via Mod Configuration Menu. A gameplay overhaul for players who want progression to reflect playstyle.
