* V's personality is shaped by player. Backstory and interactions shape V's personality.
* Cyberpunk is a dark dystopia in the same vein as Witcher 3 being Dark Fantasy
* Details of the world - everything has a purpose. World design was a huge focus in setting the tone.
* Night City - in between SF and LA (fictional city). Inspired by both cities.
* 6 unique districts in the city. Each area has its own feel on top of the base Noir feel
* Exploration is encouraged.
* Witcher was horizontally huge, Cyberpunk is vertically huge.
