is widely revered as one of the most engaging and enveloping open-world experiences out there, but not every aspect of the game helps sell the immersion of the world. Although developer Rockstar Games isn't generally prone to imposing arbitrary limitations, with the series representing a gold standard for chaotic and amoral player freedom, does have slightly higher storytelling ideals than the no-holds-barred satire of A well-chosen sacrifice can be worthwhile, and it's easy to see the logic behind one restrictive decision in 's development.
One Glaring Cyberpunk 2077 Omission Could Flesh Out The World

allows players to dive into the rich, seedy world of Night City, and while its expansion,, added an extra level with the tourist destination-turned-combat zone, Dogtown, there is still one area that could flesh out the world even further. The expansion of wealthier areas such as North Oak in Night City.
[Warning: This article contains some spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077]Although Corpos do reside in Night City, and players can visit upper-class establishments such as penthouses or corporate offices, a lot of 's gigs and missions dive into the seedier underbelly of the city. Mercs can be seen scrambling for jobs to make whatever money they can, trying — and often failing — to pull themselves up from a life of gang crime and make a name for themselves, with V's friend Jackie Welles being a prime example.
North Oak is the newest part of Night City, and was previously the site of temporary refugee camps and favelas following the Arasaka Headquarters Bombing. In the early 2050s, the NC government, backed by the megacorporations, declared a «war against crime» and decided to clear the area by force to transform it into a home for the untouchable elite.
The exclusive residential district is home to rockstar Kerry Eurodyne, his former Samurai drummer Denny, the Arasaka Estate, and other notable villas and mansions. This variety in residents' backgrounds proves that its entry requirements aren't concerned with whether someone's a rebellious Rockerboy or a Corpo CEO, so long as they are wealthy.
As the area is largely free from the poverty and gangs that plague the rest of Night City, there often isn't as much cause for V to visit as there is for other areas. Despite this, there is still plenty of potential in expanding upon such a wealthy district to show a very different side to life in the city.
There is a glimpse of this idea within the expansion through the game's inclusion of Dogtown. Dogtown was originally intended as a place for the wealthy to visit within the Pacifica district called Serenisands in the 2050s, with the original concept for the location seemingly taking some inspiration from Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, megacorps such as Militech had already used the location to build underground bunkers and laboratories, and when this led to a large explosion beneath one of the construction sites, the Night City Council walled off the area.
Several of the potential tourist destinations, such as the Eventide Resort & Spa, the Heavy Hearts Club, the EBM Petrochem Stadium, and the Black Sapphire Club still remain in some form, either being reopened by Dogtown's tyrannical ruler, Kurt Hansen, or allowed to fall into a state of disarray. In one particular mission where V and Reed infiltrate Hansen's private event
