Since E3, CD Projekt Red hasn't revealed anything too big for Cyberpunk 2077. However, while at Gamescom, quest designer Patrick Mills discussed the complexity and length of the quests in the highly anticipated game.
"[The process] has gotten even more complicated in Cyberpunk—there are more multiple ways to resolve individual quests." Mills told PC Gamer. "Before, there were usually a few ways, a couple of decision points. Now there are whole different ways to play the quest."
In all, it sounds like fans should have high expectations for the numerous missions in Cyberpunk 2077. And if you want to know which game 2077 is the closest to in terms of quests, the developer compared the title to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
“What I would say is I’d expect something to similar to The Witcher 3, particularly in terms of playtime and in terms of quest complexity. Specifically, I’d even look more at the expansions than The Witcher 3 base game because that’s really where the quest design philosophy that we’re using now came from—it was developed later in the expansions.”
Again, the quest designer is certainly setting the bar high. After all, The Witcher 3 is considered one of the best games of all time by many, and much of this is due to the quality of the quests.
Though, with no release date set, it will probably be a while before we learn if the game lives up to these bold statements.
