if you weren't on the hype train thinking it was going to be gta and skyrim combined, it's not a bad game at all. It feels very much like a Deus Ex style of game to me.
Actually, games like GTA don't appeal to me at all, and I did not care for Skyrim. But I loved TW3, and the only reason I didn't buy CP2077 right away is that I tend to like only RPGs in fantasy settings and generally have a hard time with immersion in other settings, especially ones involving guns/directed energy weapons because the consequences of getting hit by those kinds of weapons don't seem to be realistically represented. Any thoughts (from anyone) on how to get past this?
Interesting. So you find fantastical creatures and magic immersive, but hi-tech not. If anything, the hp bloat is generally *MUCH* worse in fantasy RPGs. Did you consider what dictates your preference maybe simply the setting and that you subconsciously attempt to rationalize your feelings?
Anyway, the solution is mods (Nexus is great). There are plenty of them that address game balance. Headshot Damage simply increases the headshot multiplier significantly. While Realistic Combat Overhaul largely eliminate the bullet-spronginess in a more holistic manner.
