Many modern games have a character creator of some sort, allowing players to customize their appearance, sometimes in minute detail, and that's before they make it to the actual game, where they can acquire different outfits and similar. It helps players make their character feel like "theirs," and in third-person games, they can see their character before them. But in first-person games, it often begs the question of why bother customizing the character's face, if you never see it. In Cyberpunk 2077, the only time you're likely to see V's face, apart from the pause menu, is if you deliberately interact with a mirror.
And from there, my brain went further off down a rabbit hole of ideas about how you could make that meaningful in the Cyberpunk sequel.
This post is not about character customization, but goes into the ideas that came out of it. As this post will involve some manner of spoilers for CP2077, be warned of SPOILERS BELOW THE BREAK.
