Cyberpunk 2077 Corpo Episode 23 - Down On The Street / Welcome To America (No Commentary)

In hindsight I should have cleared out all of Panam and the Aldecaldos missions before even thinking about this meeting with Takemura.

The three main paths V pursues after the heist: tracking down Evelyn, Panam helping to locate Hellman and Takemura trying to meet Hanako... These interfere with one another far too much when you have characters calling you to drop everything and go help them.

I came across this same issue in other games like Oblivion and Skyrim. In Oblivion you would have NPCs like Glarthir in Skingrad who'd lock onto you upon entering an area and home in on you to force conversation, dumping a quest into your journal you never asked for.

Again, CDPR touted this game as a big open world the player was supposedly free to explore. Can't do that when you've got characters constantly calling to trip you up with their list of errands.
