Makes sense.Originally posted by Sardukhar:Originally posted by clambchowder:It could really open up some Terminator style quest or playstyle or something. Sounds awesome being a Cyborg devoid of Humanity. :/
Not how it works. Humanity is a measure of your sanity in Cyberpunk. Based on your Empathy stat and is a side effect of Technoshock, the mental illness brought on by inability to adapt to the rapid pace of change in the Cyberpunk future.
When you lose your Humanity and your Empathy goes to zero, you become a psychopathic psychotic. No longer a player character or sane by any measure.
It's not let's-be-a-cool-robot time, it's stop the maniac with an axe time.

What reason is good enough for Humanity to be scrapped?Originally posted by Sardukhar:Looks that way? Sort-of.
Humanity as a cyberlimiter for V has been, apparently, scrapped. But as the 2018 trailer indicates, Cyberpsychosis and Max Tac are still a thing.
So I would say Humanity and Empathy are still an in world thing, just not part of V's character options.
Very few players in any game I ran went c-psycho anyway. They would get close and then get therapy or trade out cyberware with therapy to afford the new one. It's a cool mechanic and a good limiter, but in practicality, you rarely saw Player Characters go nuts
Probably affect dialogue and social interaction. That was the important part of Empathy for me. The limit to Human Perception, Fast/Talk, etc.

I have a titanium bolt in my arm. Been there for years. You can look up prosthetics and human flesh - certain metals, sterilized, are quite fine mated to flesh.

Yeah, we've been able to put implants in people for years. Bolts and pins, pacemakers, hell we've even got artificial hearts.
Really the tech we're missing is the neural connection to make things responsive enough to work like proper limbs. We've got back hand/arm replacements, but they don't work nearly as well as a real hand can.

I've never played Cyberpunk. Closest I've played is Shadowrun (which I love).
I have had several characters that I've brought down to the limits of my humanity. Of course, there were also perks to losing your humanity in Shadowrun, which they track through Essence. One of which being that magic (as Shadowrun is a mix of cyberpunk and magic) is keyed into Essence. So getting cybered destroyed your magical skill, but it also made you very resistant to magic cast by others, so that fireball that toasted your all natural friend barely leaves a mark on you. :p

If the rumors are true, V will possibly respawn after dying by having his/her consciousness downloaded and transferred to another body.
I’m not sure you can really call that human.

You really want to risk it?Originally posted by LordBlade:Can I volunteer for this too? :)
Best case scenario, your mind has constant access to the internet and you’ll be able to win big at Jeopardy... and I guess you can also text people with your brain.
Worst case: no more LordBlade.

If Elon Musk is able to keep up momentum despite this crisis, we should have working neural connectors in the next few months.Originally posted by LordBlade:Yeah, we've been able to put implants in people for years. Bolts and pins, pacemakers, hell we've even got artificial hearts.

He mentioned recently on the Joe Rogan podcast that the first few human recipients will be patients with terminal illnesses. Then, if all goes well, he’ll put himself under the knife and have one implanted into his brain as well.
