Can I start a new character without the DLC and then get it later and use the same pre-DLC character? (self.cyberpunk2077)

Basically the title. I don't have the DLC currently and started a new character with the 2.0 update. Just wondering if I would have to start another character to do the DLC if I do end up liking the base game.

Yes you can. We are able to use characters we created before phantom Liberty released.

Perfect, thank you!

I just wanted to chime in you can’t load an endgame save and get the dlc to trip. My gf refunded because she didn’t have a save between the two quests that will trigger it and didn’t want to start over.

Good to know! Did you know the name of the mission that triggers it? Is it a story mission in the base game?

[–] smokin_shinobi 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first part is called terminus I think and the second I’m not sure, sorry, it is listed on their site I think but it was poorly relayed prior to launch so might have to dig a bit to find.

This is good to know - I was able to find this article which helped explain things.

The article states that after completing a mission named "Transmission" is when you get given the mission to start Phantom Liberty.

There it is, sorry I thought that was the name. Just wanted you and any passers by to have the heads up that you can end up having to lose progress because of this by going too far which I thought was weird and should have been better communicated by them. Anyway, enjoy!

That sounds like a bug honestly, I think you're supposed to be able to do the PL story at any point between completing that pacifica quest with the VDBs, and the hanako quest that starts the final chapter. Maybe it gets fixed soon
