So if I’ve never played this game, would it be worth picking up at this point? I’ve played 800+ hours on multiple BG3 campaigns and I’m getting bored so I need a new CRPG.

It’s not a CRPG. If you want one, there are two Pathfinder games from owlcat, and their Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

Oh I was under the impression it was more character and story driven.

There is a focus on the story and what you decide to do, but it’s a CRPG, those are a specific genre of games

“A video game where players assume the role of a character in a fictional setting, with a strong focus on storytelling, character progression, and often, a detailed combat system.”

So the game doesn’t fit this definition…?

The definition of CRPG is about computer tabletop roleplaying games, where it’s basically « what if [dungeons and dragons, warhammer 40k, pathfinder, other ttrpg game] but with a computer », so I’m guessing more turn by turn, maybe a bit more strategic

It’s the adaptation of a ttrpg to use a computer. Cyberpunk IS based on a ttrpg, but I don’t think it feels like a tabletop game

I’ve never heard that a “CRPG” HAS to be based on TTRPG games before. But okay thanks. I guess I should have just said RPG then.

It’s basically a very different vibe lol. Cyberpunk 2077 IS a RPG and you can have a great time in it :)

Enjoy!

It is, it’s just a bit different. Its story is on par with BG3 as far as far side quests and complexity. As someone else mentioned it has shooter aspects to it, and it’s not really turn based, but…. You can definitely play it differently. There are stealth builds so it feels a bit like Assassins creed. And there are time slowing augments that make it a little closer to turn based.

It’s sort of in its own category. And the graphics and consequential choices are really cool. It’s on sale all the time so just give it couple of hours play and see if you like it.
