It already is imho, the engoodening/redemption more or less has been acknowledged by the casual base and it isn't dragged through the mud here as much anymore.
Though I genuinely think we'd have more cyberpunk threads if the modding communities cooked up some interesting shit.
hunger/thirst/sleep system (that still works)
odd jobs
dynamic event sort of shit (seeing generic cyberpsychos run rampant, even more random gang turf encounters)
total conversion-type mods that rip out the story elements and we get a more sanboxy-type rp experience, something like Stalker Anomaly.
monthly rent payments mod (so I have to keep the eddies flowing in).
On the bright side, it's never too late for it to happen. Games like Morrowind for example are still getting some crazy mods released. It can happen with this game as well.
