So, I pre-purchased Phantom Liberty, it’s been a while since I played the game, should I wait for it to actually release and do a new playthrough from scratch with the expansion, or start a playthrough now to have a fresh fully built character to dive into the expansion stuff?

Opinions are solicited!

    I would wait and play through again once the expansion is released, it sounds like they are making wide-sweeping improvements to the base game as well.

      Maybe I’ll finally do a throwing knife build that I never got around to. I love how versatile the game is. No two playthroughs have been the same.

        They’re apparently reworking the perk system amongst many other improvements. There are some lists kicking around here somewhere. They read like my wishlist, I’m super psyched.

        Every time I’ve played through I’ve ended up with a netrunner who goes off like a neutron bomb killing everyone in a three mile radius without stepping foot inside the mission zone. I’m beginning to think it’s me.

          Its just the strongest/more interesting way to play. Same problem as Skyrim’s stealth archer.

            I deffo need to force myself to do something different this next playthrough. Still gonna romance Judy though… I wish Panam was fully romanceable… It’s like I end up in a poly relationship with two girlfriends and one is Ace, I can live with it but it could be so much better!

          Contagion is so good. My only gripe with it is the bug where the ticking sound of the quickhack keeps playing even when you exit the quickhack view. It gets very annoying very fast. Otherwise, open up with contagion, finish the job with suicide and synapse burnout just for fun.

              Cyberpsycho is really good, but I like the passives that legendary Synapse Burnout (Defeating an enemy with any quickhack causes nearby enemies to panic) and Suicide (Causing an enemy to panic reduces the RAM cost of your next Ultimate quickhack by 2) provide. It allows for chain suicides in most cases.
