There's a degree you have to accept that the main story will be forced on you, and in Cyberpunk's case, it's the chip. Now the real "choices matter" bullshit is morality. I believe that's something that has come up with Baldur's Gate 3 players. You want to absolutely loathe certain NPCs that enter your camp without permission, some even trying to kill others in your camp, and no matter how you feel about it, the game won't let you reject them.
However, you'd still have the chip generally on hand
V put the chip in because it was the only way to protect it from rapid degeneration. Dying while having it in is what activated Silverhand. Without that chip, fat nigga kills V after the heist, no revival. Say what you want about the story, you're probably right, but don't skimp out on important facts.
I'd absolutely love to blast some Dvorak all day in the parking lot of my hypothetical store!

The Last of Us was good for one playthrough. I could never go through that again, when I look back and realize how much of the "story" was "ball-and-chain dialogue gameplay." Shit needs more skippable scenes if you want people to play over and over again.
Note: I never played the DLC that turned a well written character into a sexual token, and TLoU2 can rot in hell.
That just reminds me of the time someone did a "Caucasians" mockery thinking "white people wouldn't like that," and literally no one took offense to it, even found it cool. Definitely would need the Chad "Yes." man as a mascot image.
The revelation was actually easy to predict. The trouble was that they've taken the main characters out of the main plot for half the story, and I'd much rather see the things going on in the Empire than wacky frontier adventures.
Helck's first cour ends this week. For a fantasy series, it's been underwhelming. There is an immediate danger to everything in the setting, but half of the season has been wacky episodic adventures.
Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: from Villainess to Savior was actually pretty decent, other than the final episode (because basically nothing happened).
But Washington DC can't find the Jan6 pipe bomber.
