What should i do after the Cyberpunk 2077 main story to keep it fresh?

I just finished the main story of Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm feeling a bit lost on what to do next. The world is so dense, but I'm worried that just chasing map markers will start to feel like a chore instead of an adventure. How did you all find the meaningful stuff to do after the credits rolled?

I started chasing the quieter side gigs I skimmed over during the main story. It felt less like a sprint and more like listening in on little Night City stories. A chat here, a street gig there, a new quest that opened after a casual convo. I even found a couple hidden rooms and a few collectibles that actually mattered later on.

I gave myself a small goal: finish a handful of gigs with a strong narrative hook, not just map markers. Some fixer jobs fed into character arcs I cared about, so it felt meaningful beyond XP. I kept a stash of crafting components and tried a different playstyle on some missions—stealth instead of loud combat—and the world seemed alive again for a while.

Do you think the issue is the post credits lull, or do you want a thread of a specific kind—character drama, heists, or a city mystery?

One night I wandered into a district I’d ignored and took the slow route: talk to people, listen to side chatter, follow a rumor. It led to a small moment with a character I barely knew. It wasn’t grand, but it stuck with me longer than any big quest I chased.
