#Shadowrun free reddit Pc#
Since my PC was very strong, I didn't have to hire many mercs to help me on missions, which means I was swimming in money to always have the very best gear myself. In hindsight, I should probably have gone with shotguns instead of assault rifles for a particular reason at the very end of the game that I don't want to spoil now, but rifles worked out well enough. Simple and perfect to learn how the system works for a first game. Elf, enough body for decent hitpoints, max out assault rifles and dodge and ignore everything else. I played a regular quickness focussed street samurai.
The story is actually pretty good I think, especially the ending, but the setting itself isn't overly interesting. No real party management, you can hire mercenaries for one mission (hardly ever necessary) and sometimes an NPC will accompany you. ) and mainly focus on what makes them and my playthrough unique: I'll keep it as short as possible (for 3/4 very complex games. So much for the general part, now for the individual games.
#Shadowrun free reddit upgrade#
At a certain point in the story, vendors unlock new inventory and as long as you have the cash you just buy your upgrade there, done. Yes, there are gear upgrades, but there is no crafting or gathering materials or farming for random drops or any of that annoying stuff. I also like that item and party management is kept to a minimum. It took a bit of getting used to at first but this "RPG light" type of structure plays extraordinarily well. I really like this and it was a fresh breeze compared with the more RPG-typical connected worlds. From there, you embark on your runs, mission-style. You have a hub in between missions to talk to NPCs and upgrade gear. In all 3, you play a shadowrunner who does jobs to stay alive and then uncovers some major event that he ends up stopping. They are all awesome in their own regard and I get why Dragonfall is generally regarded as the best title in the series, although they all have their strengths and weaknesses and my personal experience was a bit different. Playtime was about 10 hours for the first, 25 hours for the second and 30 hours for the third including the bonus campaign. I finally got around to playing Shadowrun Returns and got absolutely sucked into this amazing world, binging all 3 titles over the last few weekends. Mixing cyberpunkt, near-future technology with classic fantasy elements like dragons and magic is pretty awesome.
The Shadowrun role playing universe is a very special and intriguing one I think. We started playing nevertheless but it was pretty awkward and not fun at all.īy now pretty much everyone told the GM that they sadly don't have enough time to play the game after all. We're terrorists for hire, no ideology, we're just carrying out terror attacks for money.Ībsolutely nobody was thrilled, as we all thought we would be playing shadowrunners. He tells us it's because we're terrorists. If we don't take the job, there's not going to be a game.We're all pretty confused, asking why in the world we would take a job that's going to kill millions of people. Nothing out of the ordinary, two deckers, a rigger, and two street samurai.īeing german, our game took place in the Allied German States, and the first thing we did was meeting our contact man in the backroom of a techno club in Berlin.īut what job does our contact have for us? We are to infiltrate a nuclear power plant in Hamburg and overload it, so that it explodes like a nuclear bomb, and destroys the city.Īs our characters tell the contact to fuck off, the GM asks us what we're doing. It was our groups first session, we had all created our characters in advance with the help of the DM. This weekend, I played shadowrun for the first time in a while again.
