Dope.
The perks and combat rework seem a huge vocal point of this update but are probably the least interesting for me, I hope they show other quality of life improvements.

Lifepath impacting the game like they should, more explorable places/interiors in the base game, many more side quests in the main game not the cop/activities stuff, but like side quests like the one with the detective, revamping stealth and its rewards, making nonlethal harder but more rewarding like in Deus Ex games, animation fixes are still janky/delayed, better weather system, better room improvements, better rewards and items, etc. I mean I guess I'll see in a few minutes but the lifepath thing is still irritating me.

Shit, so the new part of the city is a separate map? Interesting.

Watching
If I heard it right, the Relic skill tree is locked to the DLC
That's not good. Not good at all.
I'm getting the DLC, but this being locked to the DLC is bad.
It's tied to the DLC story, but its something that they could have implemented on the main campaign so everyone could enjoy

I'm glad I have barely played it. This update will be the perfect time for a full play through.

It's DLC. They have DLC to sell. Of course some elements would be only available to people who bought the DLC, just like Dogtown itself.

Obviously
But I dont think that the DLC would lack content if they offered this to all players. Seems like it has almost the same amount of content as Blood and Wine from TW3.
Locking gameplay related stuff to a DLC isn't cool, imo. Dont remember of a game that has done it before (tho I'm sure that there were some that I'm not remembering)

I have one for you: The Witcher III.

I knew that someone was gonna mention it lol
It had what? Mutagens in Blood and Wine and something just as small for Heart of Stone that I cant even remember right now
Those pale in comparison to the relic abilities shown in the stream, imo

Mutations from Blood and Wine are literally a fantasy version of the Relic skill tree.

No unique animations/finishers, no throwing enemies into another with your hands, no "fury" mode, no teleportations and etc.
The gameplay is the same

How about Enchanting then? It fits your super fucking weird criteria. Unique animations and all, like in case of Rotation.
Enchanting
Enchanting is added in by the Hearts of Stone expansion. It introduces 2 types: runewords (for weapons) and glyphwords (for armor). These can give significant bonuses to a piece of equipment, but would destroy any upgrades already set into it, and fill all upgrade slots on that armor/weapon...

You really saying that any of this shit in the video is comparable to throwing enemies with your bare hands, for instance?
C'mon, man
I've completed TW 3 more than a few times, same for the DLCs. There's nothing comparable to what was shown as being added with the Relic abilities.
I would seriously want some examples, 'cause I cant remember them (read the last part. I was aware that I could be wrong)

Dude, it's almost every DLC ever released. That's the entire point of a DLC. To expand on the main game. Are you seriously, serious?

Back when DLC was called "Mission Packs", for games like Quake, they'd include new weapons, power ups and enemies. These gameplay elements were never patched into the base games, because those games weren't created with those elements in mind. Fast forward to the Xbox 360 days, and some of the pioneers of "DLC" - like Oblivion - locked gameplay behind these DLCs, such as adding new weapons, enemies, effects, and other gameplay items. MMOs often lock entire new gameplay systems behind their expansion packs. Today, you'd be hard-pressed to find a game with content DLC where that DLC doesn't include gameplay alterations.

I have said this since first person only was announced: it's a matter of time until Cyberpunk 2077 gets a VR port. It's one of the main reasons they aren't bothering with a third person perspective.
