The one thing that bothered me about Eiger is she was a military sniper yet lacked cybernetic eyes and a datajack for a smartlink. Well that and the wasted points in shotguns. An AR would have been a better choice for a non-sniper backup weapon.

>>381716351
I'm saying Iz0bel is useless and anoying the way she is in the game and I did not overly enjoy her company.

>>381716495
Agreed, she was only slightly better than Blitz and he mostly sucked outside the Matrix because he had a useless drone and a SMG.

>>381716495

Well, she was only a really frigid bitch when you pried into her personal life.

I really like the Shadowrun games, and I've been trying to find other games like them.

Divinity: Original Sin is so cartoony that it's hard to get invested in anything.
I just bought underrail, but that seems to have the exact opposite problem where it's so realistic that it just comes off as dull.

Any other suggestions for games like the Shadowrun games?

I guess this is the best place as any to ask, is the full collection of shadowrun returns worth it? also is it toaster friendly?

>>381716495
which you were SUPPOSED to tink. that's her character. she's literally crippled and broken due to her past.

my point was that you'll never get to romance her and help her become not tarded

>>381716604

her grenade launcher was the only worthwhile part of her armoury.

>>381716797

Yes, it's worth it. And, if it can run on a smartphone it can sure as hell run on a toaster.

>>381716797
Totally worth it if you like story driven RPGs. You should play them in the order they were released though. Shadowrun Returns was first and is the most primitive of the 3, Dragonfall is the best and Hong Kong has the most evolved mechanics but the story isn't as good as Dragonfall.

>>381710975

>>381717598
Wasteland 2, possibly? Although the character creation system in that game is more convoluted.

today, I will remind them

https://youtu.be/8GPGQoR6f6w

>>381717598
Yeah,
I've played those too.
I think one thing that I like from the Shadowrun games is their lack of focus on inventory management.
Seems like in other games like them I spend half of the time sorting through my inventory and deciding what to sell, to use, to craft, to keep, and to drop.

At least I can have hope for Harebrained making another Shadowrun game, right?

>Gobbet
She's nice, but she's no id-powered murder robot or ex-cult chromed killer

Racter and Glory a best, hearing about Racter's backstory and how his essence loss barely affected him due to him being a sociopath is great

>>381717967
There's always hope. They're working on Battletech right now, after that's done they may go back to Shadowrun. I just hope they don't get in over their heads and try to move to an advanced engine and a fully voiced storyline. I like the old-school charm of the Shadowrun RPGs.

It's a good thing in Shadowrun games, focus on the job, not your sex drive.

>>381719006

don't be a fag anon

I really liked it when you teamed up with Glory in Dragonfall and she became a host for satan and it's implied you hook up afterwards

shame eiger didn't have an option

>>381719006
in shadowrun if you're having problems with your sex drive you can get it replaced with a Solid State Sex Drive!

>>381718317
Ironically I think the stage directions in the dialogue combined with the kick-ass character portraits were much more descriptive and set the mood much better than a fully rendered cut-scene ever could.

>>381719006

Agreed, there's no substitute for a player's imagination. I suspect each of us knows how each of those characters sounds and that voice wouldn't be the same if it were actually voiced by an actor.

Nah, she's angry and bitter but she's not soft. She'd fit right in on /v/.

>>381719769

You can try in real life, but you'll most likely end up riddled with bullets. But I agree, the Shadowrun universe is so cool.

>>381719838

It's like you're playing the tabletop and it's the GM reading things out to you, describing what's going on and stuff.

>>381720130
Yes, it captures that feeling quite well. I suppose it helps that the games were written by the people that created the tabletop RPG. If anyone knows how to set a scene in Shadowrun it would be them.

>>381719006
The best part about shadowrun, in game or table top, is when it doesn't focus on just the job and instead is about the characters. The tabletop i'm in that's been going on two real years now would be nothing without good pc's and missions that focus on their place in the world.

I wish the critical role team played shadowrun. So much potential

>>381720130
It amazes me that Microsoft bought the rights to Shadowrun only to turn it into a FPS and then just let the IP die. They truly are the worst.

>>381719006

To be fair, ironclad professionalism goes directly against the punk themes of the setting.

>>381720634
True but in this case we're talking about Eiger who was nothing but professional...most of the time.

Now if only Games Workshop would get involved in the video games for their IP more. We'd have less Eternal Crusades and DoW III's.

Where is prosperity /v/ ?

>>381720786
My concern with GW getting more involved in the video games is they'd have a hell of a lot more microtransactions and DLC as GW is loathe to leave any money on the table.

>>381720989
> What do you mean they can repaint their units any color they want? Why aren't we charging for colors?

>>381720989

Okay, maybe not GW itself. How about just the writers for the Warhammer books?

I don't think that Hong Kong necessarily has worse writing than Dragonfall, Dragonfall just had a more interesting premise and overall story.

That sounds good unless it's C.S. Goto. Having Dan Abnett write an Inperial Guard campaign for a DoW game would be awesome.

I stopped playing Hong Kong when I was super psyched for a fight against some hyped up elite unit of samurai and my MC one-shot every single fucking one of them without any of my other party members needing to be involved. This was on the hardest difficulty.

>>381715164
Fucking Chaos Engine.

>>381718835
Turn based systems without full party control tend to trip people up. It aggravates people in Persona 3 and it aggravates people in Fallout.

>>381721420
My biggest problem with Hong Kong's writing was there was so fucking much of it. Getting back to base eventually became a chore because there were just so many damn plotlines with a hundred or so lines of dialogue to go through each.

One of the best rpgs i ever played. I wish Obsidian took lessons with writing characters and prose with them, because they know how to present a world and its lore without shoving technicalities down your throat ever 5 minutes

>>381721625
HK is definitely the easiest of the 3 games.

>>381715164
Man, i had so many laughs reading what was supposed to be 4chan/some nerd forum in the pc. Specially the parts about the poetry program and the guys trying to hire people for "milk" runs.

>>381717167
I agree that people should try Shadowrun Returns, but if they find they don't like it, they shouldn't write off the later games. Dragonfall is such a massive improvement that even if someone hates Dead Man's Switch, they should still try it.

>>381720987

I love reading those things. Felt a lot like here.

Yep, that goes back to the editor not doing their job.

>>381716797
Dragonfall and Hong Kong are better

It'll run on a toaster but it'll be a little slow.

Did the directors cut manage to cut down on the text? Or space it out better? I remember talking to each party member for like 30 minutes a pop between missions. It was just too much, while the previous two games had a good balance of party member backstory, main story and gameplay.

>>381721750
They are all will be worse then you. In Dragonfall my Decker-Shaman was better then Blitz and Dietrih.
But thats what I like about this kind of games. Your henchmen are not Min/Maxed

>>381722087
Are you talking about the extended edition of Hong Kong? Nothing was cut, a bonus mini-campaign to play after you beat the main story was added to wrap everything up.

>>381722408
On the plus side, you can skip most of the conversations with those characters or cut them short. Most of them don't lead anywhere at all anyway. I think most of us go thru them expecting a payoff in the form of a new mission or something and it just never happens in HK.

>>381722636
Oh wait, talking to teammates does lead to new missions, it's talking to everyone else that doesn't.

>>381722636

>>381723654
Anyone that has played all 3 games can handle reading just fine. The fact is that HK was overwritten, NPCs would tell you their life stories at the drop of a hat, what would be a few sentences per conversation in the prior games took up paragraphs in HK and it was a slog to go thru. These games are slow paced to begin with but HK took it to excessive, nearly VN, lengths.

the problem with HK isnt the amount of dialog but the pacing. It's not good game design that you can spend an hour talking between missions but it only takes 20 to complete some

>>381721804

>>381723654
No you jackass, it's a problem with pacing. you have this long series of non-connected plotlines that offer limited player interaction and largely hold little to no relevance to the plot. Pacing is an important element to any story, and saying "suck it up faggot" is beyond asinine. It's a problem with the game, they needed to space that out more. Look at Dragonfall, more depth to the mission dialogue meant that they kept hub conversation less common and generally succinct, and you weren't spending one to two hours between every mission for the first three quarters of the game.

Christ, one of my favorite games is Planescape: Torment, and it dumps far larger quantities of text on the player, but it paces itself better by having it scattered amongst light exploration, skill checks, changing topics, etc.

The point is more content does not necessarily mean a better game. I seriously do not mind tons of words in a game (I like the fucking Trails series), in fact I didn't mind it in Hong Kong, but pretending that more = better is just stupid. Quality trumps quantity.

>>381725318

>>381725086
No commentary, just a soundtrack and an anthology of short stories about the characters in that game. Is it worth it? Hard to say, I have the hardcover edition of that anthology as I was a Kickstarter backer but I never actually read it.

>>381722636
Well talking to one of the side characters pays off hugely in HK, the others are just for flavor

>>381725309
Yeah, it has potential, we'll see how well it handles the single player campaign for Battletech.

>>381725309
3D environments work for something like Battletech where the scale is huge but they would take a whole lot more work for a ground level city environment and the hand drawn stuff they've been doing looks great, I think they should stick with what works.

I tell you, what I'd really like is a good Shadowrun stealth game but it seems like Harebrained schemes can't really do anything but RPGs.

You may hate the first one, just skip to Dragonfall if you can't stand it.

is zoombie samurai a cool guy?

>>381725685
Not him, but the first one is generally rated as the worst. I liked the later two but Returns sucks multiple dicks.

>>381725636
Have you tried Invisible, Inc? Not really a RPG but it is a stealth driven cyberpunk game.

First one is pretty mediocre. Play it first if you're going to play it at all, because going back to it after DF or HK will be a chore.

>>381725685
The first one is fine and teaches you the mechanics of the game.

>>381725897
I got it years ago but I still haven't gotten aroudn to playing it. Really should, but I haven't even finished all the stealth games I wanted to play from last year yet (still working on Dishonored 2 and Aragami), much less previous years.

I love how him and Gaichu are sort of opposites. Gaichu seeks to improve himself traditionally through combat and meditation while Racter wants to improve himself (and eventuall all of metahumanity) by merging with machines. Everyone else just sees them as the crazy old guy and the creepy ghoul.

Both of them back their ideologies up with philosophy and personal experience, and they both seek to change your view of the world. Whether you buy it or not is up to you.

It's hard for me to decide who I like more because both of them are well-written characters with interesting dialogue (and are very good in combat). I can't choose.

>>381725819
Gaichu is the best Streetsam out of all three games. In combat and out of it.

>>381726165

I also like Is0bel's alternative look.

>>381726360
>Eidos Montreal
>implying they will ever get to work on anything that isn't capeshit or Tomb Raider garbage ever again
To say nothing of the fact a big publisher would never work with a license like Shadowrun since its simultaneously too obscure to help sales and too inflexible to let the devs go buck wild on it.

>>381726520
>magic shop girl regularly

Crafty Xu. Gobbet recommends you talk to her to learn more about the Walled City and the dreams everyone's been having. You can find her at the Parlor of Five Phases.

>>381726308

>>381726259
Also Asian features mix really well with trolls.

Speaking of HK has anyone done a playthru where they killed Gaichu, didn't recruit Racter and then betrayed the rest of the team at the end, killing them all to gain prosperity? That would make the bonus mini-campaign even more fucked up, you'd have 2 random mooks with you and I have no idea how the ending would play out given people that make that decision difficult are all dead.

>>381726813
The girl that runs the shop that sells spells and outfits for mages/shamans
Gobbet sends you a message early on to ensure you talk to her even if you are a different class

>>381726370
Yeah these two are the best of the HK crew, even more so if you build a char to be either a rigger or a street samurai.

Gaichu's quest is great, better than Racter's but Racter takes the cake when you debate philosophy and realise how far the guy is willing to go.

Gaichu is great as well but you don't get that "holy fuck" moment, with him it's like you at long last understand what it means to run the shadows.

I so fucking wanted a Shadorun game in Japan after doing Gaichu's questline.

>>381726370
>Gaichu and Rachter were bonus characters that weren't going to be in the game unless they got a certain amount of funding
>but they committed to is0bel right out of the gate
Why? Is0bel is such a worthless character, she's so bad that she actually makes Gobbet seem bad simply because the two characters are so intertwined early on. Even Dead Man's Switch didn't have any characters near as unlikeable and irritating as Is0bel.

>>381726778
It's more a wish than anything. I can dream of a great dev that loves Shadowrun approaching Wiseman with a grand plan for a tps set in the universe

Gotta have a Decker and diversity? Dead Man's Switch is an odd comparison, you had no real teammates in that one, only people that tagged along occasionally like Jake and Jackal. I would say Harlequin was annoying purely because as an immortal elf his stats sucked.

I don't think she was hooked on BTLs. I think you're thinking of this one.

>>381727579
I'm just using DMS as a comparison since its usually considered the worst of the games. Nothing in it is even close to as bad as Is0bel though. I suppose its not really the content of DMS that people hate so much as the linearity and tiny scope.

>>381727579
Same with that Spec Op elf you can bring along. How does street trash like myself outshoot that motherfucker by damn near 30%?

>>381727683
No, this is Kimmy.
But that gurl was from Blitz mission. The one where you meet him first.
She's in the club, begging bartender to let her inside.

>>381727683
She was hooked on that one club drug, jet or something, not BTLs

Will there ever be a proper Shadowrun MMORPG? I was watching some gameplay videos of Secret World Legends and was reminded of Shadowrun. There's so much potential being wasted.

It's most likely beyond the scope of Harebrained, so someone else will have to step up to the plate and try something cool with the idea.

>>381727903

I think she was hooked on conventional drugs, though. Or, as "conventional" as street drugs get in Shadowrun.

>>381727903
The girl in the bar was addicted to Cram I think.
Simmy was using BTLs to escape the harshness of the real world.

WOULD I EVER. I normally don't get a case of waifuism in games in general and RPGs in particular, but Gobbet floats my boat. Laid back stinky waifu with poor hygiene is top shelf. My dick is stirring just at the thought of her.

Is it weird if I think one of the best parts of Dragonfall was being able to go to the cafe to get some soykaf? It's just a small and comfy thing to do.

>>381731073
Asking for soykaf while the guy looked at you with clear disdain was one of the funniest thing in the game.

>>381730818

Video games need more orc girls to waifu. Elves get all the praise despite the fact that most elf women are massive cunts. Orc women, on the other hand, don't need much beyond food and something to smash (in the fighting sense and the sexual sense).

Eiger's a troll but she fits the bill as well despite her and Gobbet being polar opposites in terms of personality.

I just like my women with tusks.

>>381731431
Hey, real coffee is good, but why not get the cheap stuff? Plus the different flavours.

>>381731073
The best part of Dragonfall was stealing the shitty cheap beer from that one mission, then holding onto it because the guy at the cafe only offers like 15 nuyen for it.

Then if you get the "bad" ending, you can drink it with the minigun troll as the world goes to shit.

The telephone rang. He pulled it into bed. `Yeah?'
`We're going to Istanbul,' Armitage said. `Tonight.'
`What does the bastard want?' Molly asked.
`Says we're going to Istanbul tonight.'
`That's just wonderful.'
Armitage was reading off flight numbers and departure times.
Molly sat up and turned on the light.
`What about my gear?' Case asked. `My deck.'
`Finn will handle it,' said Armitage, and hung up.
Case watched her pack. There were dark circles under her
eyes, but even with the cast on, it was like watching a dance.
No wasted motion. His clothes were a rumpled pile beside his
bag.
`You hurting?' he asked.
`I could do with another night at Chin's.'
`Your dentist?'
`You betcha. Very discreet. He's got half that rack, full
clinic. Does repairs for samurai.' She was zipping her bag.
`You ever been to 'Stambul?'
`Couple days, once.'

The Returns games are set in the 3rd edition era, 2050s, the RPG is in its 5th edition, I think, which is the 2070s.

is this game good though?

> Playing Shadowrun Returns
> Picked Decker
> Only one use for it so far (that could be overcome with strength anyways)
> Like 5 for strength
I fucked myself didn't I?

Yeah, if she didn't kill Harrow she goes on a quest to hunt him down to redeem herself, if she did she's back on the path of evil with the Adversary trying to regain control of her thru the toxic spirit.

>>381742423
returns is eh
dragonfall is amazing
hong kong is pretty good

>>381720989
it's loath

loathe is a verb.

>>381742451
Very much so. For a cyberpunk setting, it's surprisingly worthless to go cyber.

Magery or gun bullshit seem strongest in all 3 games.

>>381742520
does it matter if I just jump into dragonfall or should I play them in an order

>>381742451
Deckers are essential in Shadowrun. You'll be decking in nearly every mission. Just don't put any Karma into ESP Control, it's a dump stat, all you need is Decking and a gun skill. Rifles are good.

>>381742603
If you don't play Return first you will never finish it later. It's that bad.

>>381742603
The adventures are unrelated and in different cities. They're all self contained.

>>381742603
just skip returns. Dragonfall is an amazing game but it's gonna take you 2-3 hours to get into already, returns would take even longer for less benefit

>>381742614
I've played up to the Chicago docks and so far I haven't even gone into the Matrix
You sayin it gets better later on?

> Nobody will remember you or what you did or did not do. Its all conjecture, hearsay and legend.

Damn, you just made me have an existential crisis about my character in a video game. Life is hard in the shadows.

Guess I'll get dragonfall since it's 3 dollars right now. Is the story/writing good? I haven't heard much about these games

>>381742603
Like everyone else said, you can skip Returns easily. There are really minor references you can pick up if you play them in chronological order but they're not important at all. You're best off skipping Returns, playing Dragonfall because it's the best, and then if you want more of that with marginally better mechanics and marginally worse characters and noticeably worse pacing, play Hong Kong. Still pretty good.

If I was Duncan I'd be pissed too. The whole point of his character was that he was coming to terms with the situation.

Also this is the canon character for Hong Kong.

Likable team-mates.

>>381742938
It's virtually useless in Returns. Don't be fooled.

>>381739034
I love the mission where you get inside the locked lab and a guy inside has been watching the same garbage soap opera for years

>>381742276
That's fair. Considering current SR has deckers hacking guns on the field now, it might just be a 'unless I get shot there, fuck it' sort of mindset

But ya this assumption is just pulling straws

I played as a Decker/Mage in Dragonfall because of the extra Decker checks only the PC could pass. Is it the same way in Hong Kong? Decker/Mage was really fun but I wouldn't mind trying a different class.

>>381743013
Dragonfall is the best quality wise (but Hong Kong will always be my favorite). Its cyberpunk with magic. Shadowrun lore is pretty insane, they've mapped around 3 decades worth of lore in edition plus like a century of just background stuff setting up the world.

You'll probably be very confused because of that. Its natural. Just go with the flow.

>>381743093
Any way to reset specs or am I fucked for good?
Or a way to skip to a certain stage so I can continue with a new class

>>381743013
the writing is the best part of these games. They literally stand on it, the combat is so-so (but still enjoyable). Great companions, quests, main plots, twists, dialog, atmosphere.

wat
That works? Didn't magery not play well with chrome?

No its not thats fucking Dervish son. He's from the best shadowrun storytime in /tg/ history.

>>381743041
Is there a reason for the drop in overall goodness between Hong Kong and Dragonfall? Unfortunately, I played DF, HK, then R and wound up experiencing the games just get worse and worse.

Is it just me, or is HK shorter than DF too?

>The whole point of his character was that he was coming to terms with the situation.

And to add to that, you could be just as pissed off as him with the right dialogue choices.

Also, that's the canon character? Wow. Well, at least he's an Ork.

This one is my favorite from the Ork portraits.

>>381743171
Not nearly so many.

That sounds really inefficient, but I guess it would be vastly preferable to having to drag Is0bel around. Fuck that midget.

>>381743232
Personally, I'd console command myself a bunch of points then put them into what I would've made a new character do anyway.

If that's too much like cheating for you, then power through. You'll just be weaker than otherwise.

The third act of Dragonfall is the best act in any RPG ever. Goddam that game has PERFECT pacing. How did they fuck it up in HK so bad
