The thing with the first mission with Jackie is that, in E3 version devs said the mission was 6-7 hrs into the game, but in retail, its basically a tutorial mission. This suggests that the 6 month montage was meant to be playable during the E3 but maybe they ran out of time? That also explains the changes in the mission, because a lot of cut features or animations are replaced with basically stealth tutorials. The adrenaline augmentation part is also a mid game feature.

it's not really a live scene

[@darkylyt]

In a lot of games, characters on Monitors or UI Characters are often Live rendered from a different camera.

But it could also be a video file to save some ressources, i don't know for sure of course.

[@chriswinters-ca]

Almost 2 years late, but personally I think overall the version we got on release obviously looks and sounds far better yet there are certain details in the reveal that I wish made it into the final build. At the start of the hallway scene when T Bug calls for example. In the reveal you can clearly see her laying down in her netrunning chair and she appears to be fully animated. That's a very nice touch considering that phone calls in the final build, when you can see an animated head that is, it's pretty generic instead of being contextually appropriate.

[@felipecouto1102]

As for choices in CP77, your decisions affect the outcome in Clair's quest, your choices affect the outcome in Judy's quest, your choices affect the outcome of your part in Joshua's quest, your choices affect the outcome in The pickup quest, that'll even later will affect how you approach the "A like Supreme" quest, your choices affect whether Takemura lives or dies, and whether he's gonna join you in The Devil ending or not, your choices decides the fate of the Voodoo Boys. your decision can affect all the endings available, you can just have one ending available based on your choices, even the example you've mentioned of the ending, that still is an outcome changing choice, a character that dies because of your choice is an outcome that has changed based on your choices, what else do you want, the entire world changes? then it won't be a cyberpunk story, lol. Please go play some classic table top RPGs to know what RPGs are really about, the choices system became popular just recently and it's not a defining factor in the genre.
