I need to go back to my lurking status...

But, yeah, a bit upsetting that the dark, gritty game they sold us on, isn't the one they sold to us (well, not to me...yet). I will say it's not all that surprising in hindsight. Games like this cost an insane amount to create. They have to cater to the largest market segment possible. That means certain things need to be tamed down. So, why don't they just start from that position and not promise something they can't/won't be able to deliver? I guess it's because it's the fringe/hardcore element that wants the dark aspects and that drives the interest that brings in the more casual gamer. Nothing draws a crowd, like a crowd. But, that casual gamer is likely not going to be as open to the darker aspects, and that gets pulled. The result, no one is entirely happy. ...hurray... :(

I can see this happen simply because the game does sometimes bug out and will present you a fully nude V. I started 3 times and always had a fully nude V in the mirror (no panties) after the first time you wake up in your apartment. And once (I believe in the second run) I even had a first person V without panties. Anyhow, I didn't strip down for that, simply the clothes bugged out and I had a hard time getting them back on.

So fully nude V is in the game files.

I found the game to be quite dark and gritty, actually. No other game ever punished my audacity to get in a car with making that car explode immediately. That was dystopian. Is there a big audience for broken games? Honestly, some of these bugs are hilarious but I wouldn't watch a drama to laugh my ass off. That's what comedy is supposed to deliver. Watching a bugged game is much more fun than playing it.

There's somebody hard at work at completely fixing the situation with this "feature". As pointed out before they have already automated the removal of the undies for photo mode. They are working on fixing it for first person mode as well. I believe it already works completely for the V with a V. V with a D is the one who keeps losing their genitals in first person. I don't know if we're allowed to post links or not so if you want to check it out, go to Cyberpunk 2077 Nexus and look up the "Underwear Remover" by Sorrow446. They have a bra remover too for those who's saves are forcing the bra to stay on.

I don't even remember what sold me the game because I barely followed any of the material, and only first heard about it from the 'beep' tweet, didn't even know it was board game or whatever.

What? The party's already over? Man, I just got here...

Good to know though.

P.S.: There's a bra?

You can pretty much post links to anything, except sites with direct piracy, like certain torrent sites and abondoned "warez".

And thanks for the tip :)

Thank you and you're welcome!

OK so here's the link to the underwear removal mod by Sorrow446. I hope they're successful at making it work for V with a D too!

If you read the comments thread for that mod, there's a post on how to use a hex editor to fix it, rather than a mod. It's a simple find/replace

For the penis in first person?

As for the hex editor, yes that is now common knowledge, this mod just automates the process, as was posted about a few posts ago when the fix was first introduced by another poster. This is easier than the hex editor though. Seriously some people don't do well with trying to learn things like that. I used the hex editor myself the first time I tried the fix, but this is just simpler.

At any rate, the mod author is still working on making the penis visible in first person for which I'm grateful.

CDPR really went turbo "Woke" every thread just discussing this gets closed. Your not even allowed to debate anything other than sing praises about a botched game with fake promises. Guess CDPR cares little about what fans want and care more about what gaming journalist that barely can play a game thinks.

And they will pay for that as I doubt many of us will pre-order again like for Cyberpunl. I know I will not.

They're in bed with china now censoring games. I wouldn't be surprised if the shorts censorship is because of china too.

No need to involve China, the US ESRB is enough to explain censorship, as Conan Exile proved it, in Europe the game is uncensored even on console, but it has been censored for the US market to avoid the AO rating.
Let's face it, your country do have a serious problem with nudity.
