I already have like 50 pics I've taken in this game in photo mode because this kind of thing is just in my blood. I mean, I play The Sims and mostly take glamour shots, so it all makes sense.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a really amazingly beautiful game and it's a lot of fun to be creative in photo mode. I'd love to see your lovely pics!
Of course, I'll start the sharing. This is the first really nice pic I took of my first V. I love her and I love this pic and I hope you do too
*Fingers crossed other people on this forum play Cyberpunk*

Oh, I'm not sure if you count romances as gameplay, but those also disappointed me a bit. A lot of awesome characters who you can't romance, too few who you can, and after the side quests leading up to the romance there isn't really much you do with them and if they aren't involved much in the main story, you likely won't even see them again until the end of the game unless you go visit them. But, even then, you have a handful of dialogue options and that's it. Just seems an RPG like this should have something like romances more fleshed out. For example, in Dragon Age: Inquisition, your romance options are all people you will adventure with for the rest of the game so you see them constantly. And you can choose to show them a little love every now and then, too. But in Cyberpunk, feels like your character just ghosts them until the end of the game.
@Archivist Haha! I love your pic! Graffiti make such great backgrounds. I definitely agree. Doesn't need to be on Ultra settings to look amazing! Games have come so far from the blocky pixels, eh?
@logion Lovely! The lighting in this game is just spectacular. Like, look at that wet pavement! I never thought I'd be so impressed by wet pavement. Your pic with Claire is adorable! I enjoyed her side story a lot. Mostly because I dominated those races.
Here's a few more from me.
My V "borrowing" someone's deck.
My V and Goro ready to take care of business.
And this one I took purely because I liked how the wet sand looked.
The Broke Legacy - chapter listing
Takemura, missions with him are great.
My V and Panam, the best buds.
@Wolfium Takemura just has that older gentleman swagger, doesn't he? I love him. And his texts are great. I was deeply sad I couldn't romance him, though. Was a little more sad I couldn't romance Vik, though.
I know everyone loves Panam, so this might come off as sacrilegious, but her personality annoyed me.
What I've learned in this game is that my favorite pose is apparently side profile arms crossed, staring at something in the distance.
The end is near? Better take a glamour shot.
My second favorite aesthetic is wet pavement.
COR HIEVES
MU DIE!!!
Hopped onto a literal dumpster to get this one.
Here is my first V below.

I can't help but think how amazing this photoshooting feature would be in TS3.

My favorite bug/glitch so far. It's like a scene from Quantum Break.

@Arkane Refreshing to see a male V for once. Great pics! The lighting in this game is just so goood. Even without raytracing enabled. I guffawed at the "aliens kidnapped my wife and kids. help me celebrate" signs. So many fun little things in the city.
I haven't played in a bit, but I do have some pics I haven't shared.
Using the black background really captures the character detail

Moving along, I played some more and am quite happy to have a controller that works so nicely. The last two keep having calibration issues that seem to not be fixable. So someone was kind enough to gift me a PS5 controller to use for PC which works for Steam thanks to the update they did. Though I read it's not perfect, as in, the haptic feedback and maybe some other features cannot be used...or perhaps at this time. But since I got CP2077 on GOG and not Steam I had to search how to get the controller to work. Glad someone found a solution to share with others. Now my aim is way better and precise too. Just makes playing this game so much better now.
T-Bug, I think, she's cool.
This time without a broken nose.
I'm so impressed with the graphics in this game. Although, there's one minor pet peeve I have when I see this in any game, when the character models nostrils aren't really paid much attention to detail. Like where's the illusion that they can even breathe and their nasal passages looks closed. I appreciate so much when character modelers take the time to sculpt out the nasal passages deeper because yes, to me, that minor detail gives the characters more realism.

As for the gender thing, I think there are two main factors: the player's gender and which gender looks cooler to them within that game. But, sometimes I think there's a little third factor of just whatever the player feels like. Every now and then, I'll be playing WoW and think "hmm I don't have a male troll" and so I'll make one.

According to this, the gray texture seems to be an attempt to fix some invisible seams. Hopefully CDProjektRED finds another solution that visually blends in than sticks out. I'm not really that worried about it and visually it's not that bad looking to me so I won't bother with a mod, but if anyone wants to try it out if it bothers them a lot here it is.

Yeah, I've read some like the female voice acting and dialogue of V a lot better and some seem to prefer the female protagonists saying they usually seem well done and more relatable than the male counterpart. Personally, I have no opinion as of yet since I only have experience with female V, but I have one more life path to try out so why not. Playing as male V is on my to-do list anyway. This should be fun...I wonder what he will look like?

Anyway, here are a few screenshots of my 3rd V. I absolutely love how he turned out.

That's funny that CDPR put the, "You're breathtaking!" pose in the game. If I remember correctly, I watched that live on tv and someone in the audience shouted that to Keanu Reeves which he responded back.
Misty.
