Finally started Cyberpunk.... I can't stop climbing everything. (lemmy.world)

I'm like 8 hours in and all I've been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.

I don't know why. I've only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But... since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can't stop looking for it.

I'm only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn't count as killing them and they just go "downed"... so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3

It's one that was always interesting but I somehow never started. That would be cool, but I've heard there were tons of way less fun bugs too, so I'm ok with starting now.

I'm still trying to figure out the slowing time thing that seems to happen when I press to scan. Sometimes/most times if I do it in a moving car time slows to a crawl and I can get cheap xp off any machines or cops I pass, but sometimes it doesn't slow at all or it does but I can't target anything.

I'm guessing that has something to do with the one icon from the... net hacky main thing... that I don't see explained anywhere. The menu in this game is still horrible. Completely unintuitive where to find information. I very honestly don't know how to see how many HP I have left. Every time I open the character stats page it just shows my total HP. I've just started popping that healing item every few seconds just in case I'm taking fall damage or something.

Thw slowdown effect could be a cybernetic part, the hacking program, or a skill you unlocked in the skill tree. Check all those to see which is being activated when.

HP is shown as a bar on the HUD in the upper left corner and shows the Current/Total numbers along with the bar.

Generally time slows when you're targeting something in scan mode. If there's nothing to target near the reticle, time moves normal.

It can be a little finicky detecting sometimes.
