@moshboy Back when there was a lot of online discourse about the Humanity stat in Cyberpunk 2077, I held up Bloodnet as an example of a cyberpunk game that does it right: You don't lose Humanity as a result of cybernetic augmentation. You lose Humanity as a result of the vampire curse taking over your mind. The cybernetics *help you stave this off*.
