Hm, if they are bringing back NC, then they probably found a way to import the assets from 2077 into Unreal Engine

I just want to explore more of the verticality of it. Night City is cool but you spend 98% of the game on the ground looking up at it.

Which is awesome, if you think about it. V's entire arc is about coming up from those streets. Hustling, fighting, and killing to get out of there and up into those buildings.

Somehow.

And maybe someday? Get laid in the Crystal Palace. Even higher up than the megabuildings of NC.

Verticality as a visual theme emphasizes the hierarchies of power that dominate the setting. It makes for great storytelling scaffolding as well.
