You CAN pick this option at the end of the DLC if you want to end your game then and there, but you aren't forced to do it and can just decide to roam the world and still pick whichever ending you want to later on. So no, it doesn't affect anything narratively, it's completely up to you.

I would recommend starting it when you receive a phone call from your contact after Pacifica. There will be an hour or so long opening sequence that you have to finish first - unlocking the Relic skill tree and Dogtown -, after which you can freeroam the whole world again at your own leisure.

You can still postpone starting the DLC after getting the phone call, however once you move to Dogtown and meet your contact you gotta finish the opening sequence or you'll lock yourself out of the rest.

mid game

one of your choices in the expansion will lead to a new ending for the base game

i.e.
it unlocks around mid game, but if you want to, you can do the expansion around end game before you reach point of no return (cant go back to do side quests, gigs, etc anymore)

I still plan on buying the DLC, just playing other games right now. Feeling like I'm nearing the end of Spiderman 2.

When is the best time to start Phantom Liberty? Some people say after the voodoo boys mission.

it unlocks after the voodoo boys mission, but the best time to start it is very subjective. i played it after completing two romance options' quest lines and they have an effect on certain missions in Dogtown.

Update 2.1 patch notes are up
https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/49...-1-patch-notes

Big things for me that haven't been discussed properly in this thread yet

Visual improvements without cost to performance. Fuk yeah.

DLSS Ray Reconstruction – now available in RT Ultra and other RT modes with RT Reflections enabled.

Various lighting improvements around the city.

Really happy with this because the car racing quest was probably the worst quest in the game and that's because of the AI. It was not a real race because your driving skill didn't really matter much. The enemy cars will just spawn near behind you even if they crash or something. So I'm really looking forward to this.

Added replayable car races V can take part in after finishing The Beast in Me. Look for race flag icons on the map and win the races to get eddies and a discount for the Autofixer website. Additionally,we improved the racers' AI to make them more competitive and made enhancements so that the whole experience is much more fun!

Sightseeing binoculars in various scenic spots have been added as another way to appreciate Night City's vistas.

V can now be pursued by gangs after taking an aggressive approach toward them during certain gigs and main quests.

Gigs that involve stealing and delivering a vehicle can now turn into a car chase and a combat sequence.

I think this means that we will now see our character drinking or eating at stalls or bars, but not sure.

It is now possible to sit at various bars in Night City and interact with the vendors.

Decorative vendors spawned inside some kiosks are now functional. Please note that food stands are not impacted by this change.

Added new cyberware: Feen-X and Cogito Lattice

...Several balancing stuff with weapons and cyberware...

This road is pretty big and CDPR was forced to work on this because players were using it to hide from the police

Opened the previously closed-off highway that spans Westbrook, Santo Domingo and Heywood.

It is now possible to lean while riding bikes. Use LShft/LCtrl on keyboard or Left Stick on a gamepad to make the rider lean - Up to lean forward, or Down to lean back. Leaning only changes your Center of Mass. Lean back and apply the gas to do a wheelie, lean forward and apply the brake to do an endo. Changing your Center of Mass changes how much traction you have at either end. Lean forward a little mid-corner to induce oversteer, lean a little back to induce understeer. In the air, lean forward/backward to do flips, steer to do spins!

Another NPC AI improvement. Hopefully by the time the sequel comes out, CDPR have reached Rockstar levels when it comes to NPC AI.

Attacking an NPC driver will now cause their vehicle to swerve.

Some QoL changes

Added an option to mark vehicles as Favorite in the Call Vehicle menu.

Added an option to mark weapons as Favorite, so that selling, disassembling or dropping them is locked.

Added a tooltip describing how to gain XP in each skill in the Skill Progression panel.

Been having this issue on high places and was surprised that I couldn't see other people complaining about it. I guess not most players use ray tracing.

Fixed an issue where V's and NPCs' skin could have a metallic-like effect when Ray Tracing was enabled.

Added more secrets to be discovered by players in Night City.

Hey chooms, remember that these are just the highlights! There are a lot of other improvements and fixes in this update, so make sure to check them out yourself tomorrow!

If you have the dlc it will be unlocked to you once you finish a certain point in the base game's main quest, the game will let you know (i wont spoil how) once it's unlocked to you so you don't have to worry about missing it or something

Update is integrated with the full game size though. It's still 84g in my PC.

yeah full size isn't increasing with 54 GB but I booted up my Xbox and needed to do a 54 GB update

which is ridiculous 10 weeks after a 2.0 drop

but as I said it is what it is

Meanwhile Bethesda 3 months after release: "You can now eat food in Starfield."

Are you really trying to make this comparison with a DLC that was released two years after the base game? Man, Starfield really ****ed up the heads of a lot of people. Sad, kind of.

There as almost no support for the game after the initial launch other than trying to fix the game for last gen consoles.

LMFAO

now another update, for Phantom Liberty this time

another 30 GB

and I see there's another one in the queue after this even

this is honestly not excusable, 80+ GB and counting on a 2.1 update ten weeks after you drop your definitive version

Lol strong this. Cyberpunk didn't become what it was until like 2 years later. And now, to me personally it's the best game of this generation.

3 months into cyberpunk was no different than launch day of Cyberpunk either. It had a very similar launch to starfield, though cyberpunk was much buggier. Modders were putting in work early.

Starfield is Def a worse game, but it actually launched much better than cyberpunk imo. Let's not forget cyberpunk was actually removed from the Sony store...that is nothing to downplay, that was a VERY big deal. Starfield was perfectly playable since day 1 even if it is a dissapointment of a game.

PS all yall complaining about storage goofed up hard not buying a cheap ssd during the big sales. Except the xboxers because I would never waste my money on proprietary storage.

brah I'm not complaining about storage it's just annoying I come home after work and want to get some gaming in but I need to wait for an 80+ GB update to install

they 100% knew this was coming, just wait with the 2.0 drop until you can include this, beginning to wonder if they learned anything from that disastrous launch

core game needed to be completely re-installed multiple times -> pathetic

complete re-install when the next gen update dropped -> logical

complete re-install after 2.0 update and DLC -> logical

10 weeks later complete re-install for x.1 update -> brah...

I don't know how it goes with consoles but on PC my update went so smoothly. Probably because I just did a clean install since I didn't want any of my previous mods to cause any problems with a big update like this. Just downloaded the 80+gb game like normal and that's it. Also only took around 15minutes in my third world country internet.
