Cyberpunk RED retains its far-flung, bombastic future where cybernetic limbs are common, and gangs rule the streets - but the world-changing event has altered almost everything players might remember from Cyberpunk 2020.<\/p>\n
A distinct feeling of poverty now runs through the streets of Night City, and a player might struggle to get their hands on a new weapon, or Agent (a sentient cell phone\/PDA in your pocket), or some clean vegetables.<\/p>\n
This, really, is a fantastic starting point for players, as they are forced to build their characters from the ground up, with a massive focus on creating what their identity is, and what they want to achieve in the forthcoming game.<\/p>\n
The original line-up of Cyberpunk 2020's Roles (classes) is still present - however Cops have now changed to Lawmen.<\/p>\n
The Roles function, fundamentally, the same as they did in Cyberpunk 2020. Each one has a massive pool of abilities they can put skill point in to, with a special Role Ability which differentiates them from one another.<\/p>\n
The Role Abilities listed in the book are detailed, and well thought out, but some stand out more than others.<\/p>\n
While Medias can create rumours and news to change the landscape of the game, Lawmen can call for backup from their local police force.<\/p>\n
The biggest difference about these special abilities is that they can now be upgraded, creating opportunities in which an Exec can call forth a team of underlings to fight their battles for them, while relaxing in their skyline penthouse.<\/p>\n
