Thanks to the Responsive NPCs mod, crowds in Cyberpunk 2077 can now react if you sprint nude through Night City's streets

Cyberpunk 2077 posing.

Even after the 2.0 patch brought Cyberpunk 2077 its own little renaissance, Night City's inhabitants have always left the megacity feeling a little lifeless. No matter how much neon clothing's on display, crowds don't feel very vibrant when they're oblivious to anything short of lethal peril. Sure, basic nudity might not chart very highly compared to the daily grotesqueries of living in a dystopian future, but you'd think seeing V leap through traffic while hanging hog would get somebody's attention. And finally, now it can, thanks to the Responsive NPCs mod from MistaChedda.

The mod adds systems allowing crowds, gangs, and law enforcement to dynamically react to and comment on V's behavior, driving, weaponry, and clothing—or lack thereof. Streaking, for example, can cause nearby pedestrians to comment that you're a pervert before trying to put some distance between you, and it'll make you more noticeable to NCPD and other armed NPCs. Apparently your nudity will be more alarming to NPCs as your cyberware level increases, which I'll admit feels a little odd to me. Personally, I feel like somebody's robotic bits are a little unremarkable compared to their unprompted genitalia, but maybe I'm just too open-minded for 2077.
