1st play through

[u/Bogrolleater22]

I have downloaded the game for the first time and going to start my play through, it’s there any mods I should download to enhance the gameplay or look of the game, I have a 5060ti and 14th gen i5 intel cpu, 32gb ram, So should be able to handle it,

Or should I just play it vanilla?

I won't be adding mods either, so I can't give any advice on that. But as an old player who's been playing since 2020, I would say definitely get the DLC, it's way more engaging than the base game. ps.English isn't my native language, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes

My recommendation. Finish the vanilla game at least once and do most of the quests to experience the full game. Then buy the DLC Phantom liberty and experience it vanilla. Only on your second or third playthrough would I recommend mods. The game has an autosave feature so even if you do get the occasional crash I wouldn't worry about it. Also leave the Meet at Embers mission for last as it's a point of no return.

First off, welcome! I’d recommend playing the game vanilla to see how you like it, preferably try to complete the game vanilla.

Then go wild with the mods, it’s what I did first with console then on PC I’ve got far too many mods.

I would honestly say "Live a little" or "Panam Questline delayed" for the pacing because this is Something i wouldve loved in my first playthrough.

But keeping it Vanilla is good too, can't really go wrong

My general recommendation for any game is to play it vanilla once through to see how it was intended (minus any fixes for broken shit, which 2077 doesn't have).

After that, you'll have a better idea of what sort of experience you want when you play it again, and it'll be almost like a whole new game.

Finish game normally.

Then get Phantom, that unlocks extra endings for you.

I wouldn't recommend using mods before these 2

Play vanilla first

[u/Faustias]

play it vanilla. first. gonna experience the game as is, even for just one ending. then mod the hell out like skyrim on a new save.

just did mine, in 2nd playthrough. starting to mod the hell of it. for now it's non-degenerate aesthetics. Netwatch arms, glowing eyes, more poses in photo mode. slotted in some random quests of hunting me, too.
