As with many RPGs, 's story is enhanced by the characters players can interact with, and the relationships that can be built, with players' choices even leading to in-game romances. In the case of, there were four main romanceable options, with a male V able to seduce Panam Palmer, a Nomad from the Aldecado family, and Johnny Silverhand's former bandmate, Kerry Eurodyne, and a female V able to date the hacker Judy Alvarez, and former NCPD detective River Ward.

A recent update makes dangerous changes to its most feared enemies. Stalkers, members of the Terminid faction, are some of the most dangerous bugs in . Their unique ability allows them to disguise themselves, allowing them to get the jump on players. Stalkers will often appear out of the blue when they're least expected, and if the players don't respond quickly, can wipe out an entire party in a manner of seconds.

Night City is a truly dangerous place, and recently released statistics have revealed some of the most dangerous encounters in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
