Just started cyberpunk last night. Took forever to create my character to look close to me so didn't play too long but the short time I have played all I can say is WOW.
Red dead 2 online is my go to game with GTA 5 a close second as they both have stunning graphics and a great storyline and main characters..... Cyberpunk on the graphics/visuals level (the short time I have played) are insane. Maybe even better than red dead 2/GTA 5 (in my opinion).
As far as characters go, I have not really explored enough to give feedback but the first guy I met was pretty sweet. Looks to be a very interesting game and I'm pretty excited to see how it progresses.
If you're interested I did a lengthy write up in this linked post regarding Cyberpunk:
What video game are you playing?
The story gets better the further you go in imo. There's also a bunch of different endings depending on your choices. I'm the kind of person that prefers to get the "best" ending on my first playthrough in case I don't like the game, and then if I enjoyed it I'll go back and play through the other endings. You may want to go into it blind, but if you're like me you may want to make sure you make the right choices so you don't lock yourself out of anything. I would also suggest making multiple saves as you go in case you need to roll back to an older save for whatever reason.
One other thing, not sure what kind of characer you're currently building, but do NOT overlook the Netrunner tree! It's extremely versatile and can be downright overpowered depending on how much you use or abuse it. I'm talking wiping our entire buildings of bad guys without firing a shot or before they even know where you are. Maybe that's not your playstyle, but it's a fun alternative to the traditional run and gun gameplay if you want to kill enemies with your magic technology.
Have fun, let us know your thoughts or if you have any questions.
