Mind-Blowing NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077 Set New Bar for Elegance and Beauty
Phantom Liberty's remarkable gameplay upgrades in Cyberpunk 2077 have not only captivated players, but its stunningly realistic and visually appealing background NPCs have taken immersion to the next level
Highlights
Cyberpunk 2077's background NPCs have greatly improved since its initial launch, with more visual variety and memorable characters.
Patch 2.0's revamped police system has transformed Night City into an even more immersive and captivating open world. CD Projekt Red's dedication to improving the game has paid off with the triumph of Patch 2.0 and the highly anticipated Project Orion, signaling a promising future for Cyberpunk 2077.
One of the subtle yet notable enhancements in Cyberpunk 2077 over the years was its remarkable transformation of the random citizens in Night City. Players have become captivated by the visually stunning and unforgettable appearance of some of the background non-playable characters. Initially, the game faced technical and design issues upon its release, prompting CD Projekt Red to invest exorbitant amounts of money to align the game with its original vision. Although the main storyline was exceptionally well-written, exploring profound existential themes with its diverse cast, it was not until Patch 1.5 that Cyberpunk 2077 truly improved its depiction of background non-playable characters.
In 2023, the open world experience in Cyberpunk 2077 has become remarkably immersive compared to its state in 2020. The introduction of the completely revamped police system in Patch 2.0 has finally fulfilled the long-standing demand of players since the game's launch. Night City has transformed into a bustling and dynamic metropolis, leading many fans to argue that engaging with this new version of Cyberpunk 2077's open world is far more enjoyable compared to its previously flat and unremarkable urban landscape.
The immersion-breaking clones that previously populated the streets of Cyberpunk 2077 have been eliminated, allowing for more visual diversity among the pedestrians of Night City. One player, nopalskucing, shared a screenshot on the official Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, expressing admiration for a particularly elegant and beautiful random NPC, stating that she surpasses any other video game character they have encountered. Many comments agreed with this sentiment, noting a striking resemblance to actress Sophie Turner, famous for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones.
In Cyberpunk 2077, NPCs are meticulously designed individuals selected from a predefined roster and placed in appropriate areas throughout Night City. Players who disable HDD mode in the game settings can enjoy an even greater variety of NPCs, although this option may go unnoticed. Some fans observed the contrast between Cyberpunk 2077's background characters and the unsettling NPCs in Starfield, but this comparison may become more balanced once Starfield releases official modding tools.
Phantom Liberty and Patch 2.0 mark the final stage of CD Projekt Red's redemption journey for Cyberpunk 2077. With the attention now turning towards Project Orion, the developers are fully dedicated to their upcoming project. Although the sequel for Cyberpunk 2077 is still in its early development phase, the positive response and achievement of Phantom Liberty assure players that the project is in capable hands.
Cyberpunk 2077 can be played on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
