ok ill add some other info i dont want this to sound like a mindless bashing

BUGS as of patch 2.01

in a quest you need to alternate between your face and another character. everytime after the switch the Start menu would be unavailable, only fix is to save and reload the game(you change clothes like 4 times in that quest and it gets bugged every time)
character getting ejected into the air while leaving a vehicle for no reason
character getting stuck into vehicles if you approach them too fast and the world freezing in solidarity
quest markers not getting updated
quests taking over your your tracked quest for no reason
characters sending you texts while you are talking to them

Stat blocks don't make an RPG.

Part of the definition is that you in fact play a role. This means making decisions from their perspective as if you were them and their world was your reality. Any game that doesn't allow you to make informed, meaningful decisions isn't actually a role playing game.

Naturally, video games can't really give you total freedom in that regard, as any option you can pick needs to be anticipated and coded by the developer. But there are candidates that fit the requirement somewhat more and those that definitely don't.

Cyberpunk, while being a fun experience, doesn't really give you a lot of meaningful choices, at least not in the bigger quests, especially not the main plot. Most often different dialogue choices only lead to slightly different answers and the same outcome. You can't decide to rat Panam out to Militech when stealing the tank for example. You're not really playing the role of V, you're watching their story play out and maybe deciding what to do first and last.

CDPR have their own inhouse example of a better RPG to compare against.
