I was thinking about how unappealing the base human stats are in cyberpunky games.

Like, if your choices are-

1) Cool unique cyberware
2) Cool unique hacking
3) Cool unique magic
4) Being muscley

It really feels like someone that chooses "muscley" is actively abandoning the uniquenesses of the world.

To me it feels like every kind of build needs to connect to the world in unique ways that help explore it.
