Just finished another playthrough after the 2.3 vehicle tweaks, and I'm itching for what CDPR might drop next! 😍 That mysterious casino banner near Dogtown isn't just set dressing – it's a neon-lit breadcrumb hinting at 2.4's potential. With Virtuos actively supporting development, we could be getting Night City's most exciting update yet. Let's break down what might finally make this game feel truly alive.
🔥 Romance Needs a Reboot
Remember taking Judy on that Laguna Bend date? Stunning views... then crickets. Post-romance content feels like a glitched braindance – frozen in time. Here's what would fix it:
-
Dynamic Hangouts: Let Panam crash on my couch after missions! 🛋️
-
New Date Spots: Why can't I take Kerry to that floating sushi bar in Japantown?
-
Edgerunners Tie-ins: Imagine River name-dropping Rebecca during a convo about trauma
That emotional disconnect hits harder when you compare it to how alive the city looks now. 
🎰 Casino Dreams & Repeatable Thrills
Those teased casino banners? Not just lore fluff. This could revolutionize downtime in NC:
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Blackjack/Poker | Spend those hard-earned eddies between gigs |
| Underground Fight Rings | High-risk cyberware betting with Mr. Hands |
| Quest Generation | Fixers giving jobs based on your gambling rep |
Picture this: winning big at roulette unlocks a backroom deal for prototype Sandevistan tech. Suddenly gambling isn't just immersive – it's progression.
⚙️ Gear Systems Still Need Love
Ugh, finding an epic Dying Night pistol at level 15 only to trash it by level 30? Brutal. Our top pain points:
-
Mod Prison: Slotted mods should be extractable (looking at you, clothing crit boosters)
-
Non-Iconic Upgrades: Let me enhance my favorite rare shotgun to legendary!
-
Visual Customization: Weapon skins when, CDPR? 💅
It's wild that Witcher 3 got armor dyes but V can't even change jacket colors. Small tweaks would make loot actually exciting again.
♻️ The New Game Plus Dilemma
Okay, real talk – I get why NG+ is tricky with branching narratives. But alternatives exist:
-
Prestige Skills: Carry over one maxed skill tree to new saves
-
Legacy Weapons: Transfer 1 iconic item with level scaling
-
Phantom Liberty Integration: New dialogue options if you completed the expansion
Maybe Virtuos can work magic where main team couldn't? 🤔
So... will 2.4 actually deliver? The casino tease proves they're still planting seeds. But what if they're saving the big romance overhaul for Edgerunners S2 hype? Either way - I keep reloading my Judy save file just in case. What one feature would make YOU reinstall? 👇
