In order to address this question with the information available at this time, we can look at how the developers are discussing the gameвЂ™s features in its polishing stages.ДЇans of Witcher 3 will have a few points of comparison, since the developers reference their famous game when they make promises in regards to Cyberpunk 2077вЂs features. What Cyberpunk 2077 Will Do to Be More like a TTRPG Game No, it is not.Д«ut a much more compelling answer is, the developers sure are trying to make Cyberpunk 2077 feel closer to an extremely immersive solo TTRPG experience and itвЂ™s darn exciting. So, the technical answer to the question posed by this post, вЂњIs Cyberpunk 2077 like Cyberpunk 2020 or D&D?вЂќ isвЂ¦ no. Dialogs canвЂ™t be freeform while still retaining their strain of logic: you will be faced with multiple choice format even if the resulting outcomes are numerous.Д®ven Cyberpunk 2077, 8 years in development and with one of the most talented game development teams behind it, canвЂ™t break these limitations. Certain events simply have to occur in order for the game to progress, even if the developers allow you to skip certain quests. Video games canвЂ™t scrap that script, since they canвЂ™t completely alter the story to match your exploding creativity. A lot of GMing is a highly creative process of improv. Rarely will the story and its ending unfold in a way you first envisioned it. Rarely will a combat or a dialog encounter go according to plan. Your players will ultimately wander into places that donвЂ™t exist, take events into directions that you did not expect, dismantle puzzles with solutions that you couldnвЂ™t predict, and react to your NPCs in all sorts of both frustrating and delightful ways. If youвЂ™ve ever played a role of a GM in a TTRPG campaign you know that you canвЂ™t rely on the pre-session prep notes. With the human brain presiding over the world, events, and characters that are generated in the moment in response to the player actions, there are no precise scripted events. TTRPGs involve Game Masters and they often involve Player Parties with more than one player. ItвЂ™s just the reality of our current and potentially permanent video game limitations. Bottom LineДЄnd if you are familiar with either of them you will understand the following intuitively: single-player computer RPGs canвЂ™t be played like TTRPGs. The more you are familiar with one or the other, the more what we will be talking about will make sense to you. So, here is what all of this means: Cyberpunk 2077В is based on the Cyberpunk games, it is designed to engage Cyberpunk fans, and has itself birthed a Cyberpunk game edition.Дungeons & Dragons returned to popularity with its 5th edition, and it is likely you have heard about it or even played it, even if you didnвЂ™t get a chance to try out Cyberpunk 2020 yet. It is designed to accommodate what we will see in the video game, to the extent of creating its own timeline. They serve as insider references to maintain the familiar as well as intriguing atmosphere for the fans.ДЄlso, if you have been keeping track of whatвЂ™s in the works, you know that Cyberpunk Red is due to be released this year as a prequel to Cyberpunk 2077вЂs setting and story, in collaboration with the original creator of the TTRPG series, Mike Pondsmith. Other elements, like the story of rockerboy Johnny Silverhand set in the 2077 universe, are heavily changed from the original lore and functionality while retaining the name and general resemblance. Some items, like the Arasaka Mantis Blades or the NetrunnerвЂ™s Cyberdeck, are adapted from the cyberware implants that the Cyberpunk players have been familiar with for multiple decades. However, there is a reason why we have been bringing Cyberpunk TTRPG into our conversation about Cyberpunk 2077 since its very early development days: the setting and story of Cyberpunk 2077 is inspired by the Cyberpunk universe and by Cyberpunk 2020 character classes, factions, and items. Cyberpunk 2077 is a video game RPG, more easily comparable to Witcher and Grand Theft Auto experience, than a TTRPG one. Cyberpunk 2077 Would Not Exist Without Cyberpunk TTRPGД¬yberpunk 2020 is a Tabletop RPG, the pen-and-paper experience we associate with Dungeons & Dragons. To be more exact, can Cyberpunk 2077 offer us that unique open-story experience we associate with Tabletop Roleplay (games like Cyberpunk 2020 or Dungeons & Dragons)?Д«efore you violently roll your eyes and declare this question as entirely ridiculous, allow me to explain myself.ДЇirst, letвЂ™s remind ourselves why Tabletop Roleplay is even a part of this discussion.
