I'm Rdy for them to make another Shadowrun game. For the 4th one, they can keep going the route they going but I do hope they bring back the atmosphere and music from dead mans switch. Dragonfall and Hong Kong have excelled in regards compared to dead mans switch, but dead man switch still has that atmosphere and music that just screams futuristic cyberpunk more so than the latest 2 games. Just saying they keep making them, I'll keep buying. It's been a long time since I've had as much fun as I had with these games.

Ok tyvm

im thinking about hiring a paladin but I was wondering since its been a while since I've played, if hire able Paladins actually gain benefits from faith and devotion? I know when the game came out that the player was the only one benefiting from faith and devotion, didn't know if hire able ones benefit from it now? And if they do, does our responses effect the FaD or is it just set without the player messing it up or advancing it?

I started up yesterday for the first time playing in awhile and I deleted all my old saves and started fresh... I remember long load times when I started playing it but maybe because I started fresh and deleted all my old characters and their saves, my load times have been...like not even there. Like so short I don't even see it. I had even forgotten about the long load times because it's going so fast. Like I said I'm not saying it's yals fault because I do remember the long load times, but since I deleted all my old saves and started fresh, I'm not seeing any atm. Granted I maybe just be lucky and may (hopefully not knock on wood) hit me later in the game, but I'll keep yal posted.

I finished up Hong Kong. Took my sweet time with it, was excellent but I will say this. Dead mans switch seemed to have the best music and best "atmosphere". I dunno if I wanna start up PoE or witcher 3 now. Atm killing time in South Park stick of truth. Such a fun and quick South Park rpg lol.

I really hope we ain't charged for it and they add it on like a directors edition or something.

He has a podcast about Shadowrun lore.

It was cool seeing Opti in the game

Ok running a troll adept with cyber ware razor claws. Focusing more on cyber ware and putting points into chi to get passive and nondamaging abilities. Charismatic **** with gang and socialite. Also gonna use a few spells if they fit his character. So far having a blast, but had to restart a few times due to not knowing about adepts and learning thru trial and error. A lot of my problems would have been answered if I actually paid attention to descriptions lmao. Overall great game. Loved dead mans switch and dragonfall and tbh very happy they continued with the same mechanics and just added and tweeted them. Refreshing since I'm so used that everyone seems to think now a days that u have to completely change the entire mechanics of u ever do a sequel. Also loving all the dialogue ) feels great and really hoping they kickstart another Shadowrun game. IMHO I say keep them coming for as long as they can )

Playing Shadowrun Hong Kong as a troll charismatic **** razor blades adept....I'm really enjoying it a lot so far. It's so refreshing with all the role playing options, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's now my new favorite series as far as fun and addicting. Well smokes done, time to go back to my addiction

Let's see, SRR I was a street Sam, dragonfall I was a decker/rigger, so for Hong Kong I'm going adept. I'm learning but I know body/str/will. With the razor claws, does unarmed and/or strength influence it?

Does anyone know if Chris is still gonna write novellas for pillars of eternity?

I started with SRR and tbh I think people should start with it. I really enjoyed it and then dragonfall was the same but so much better. I dunno it's always a nice feeling to play a game and enjoy it and then play the sequel and get blown away. Basically more Shadowrun fun and see it only get better hehe. I'm stoked about Hong Kong but I may have to wait til I play dragonfall again. SRR I stayed in character but in dragonfall I seem to have strayed away from the type of character I wanted to play....if that makes any sense. I think I'll hold off and just make sure I stay in character when I replay the games back to back again.

Have been binge playing. Started with dead man switch and now I feel like I'm closing in on the end of dragonfall. Hong Kong was a prepurchase for me and hoping to wrap it up and start it when Thursday. I really loved both games, dead mans switch felt like a nice one shot campaign and really dogged the whole feeling that all that badass epic stuff is just a regular day for someone else. I felt like I was a big shot and then the game sucker punched me and knot her me off my mountain top and showed me there's whole other levels at play way above my current position. Dragonfall I'm loving because they just did everything better. The team was a nice touched. Whelp back to playing

Sunday got to sit in on my very first shadowrun PnP game and I'll admit, I was blown away. Dunno, lately been burnt out on video games and TV and whatnot, but after sitting and watching my friends play (they wanted me to play but creating a character takes hours lol and we only had a few to play so I declined), it's lit a fire in me. Plowing thru shadowrun returns and getting ready to start dragonfall, I'm having a blast. Been watching ghost in a shell in between my breaks. Right now really wanna get into the lore and when I learn the mechanics, start my own games for my other friends. Saving up for the fifth edition because that's what my other friends play, but any suggestions on some one shotters or is the book that's just on lore by chance out there?

Right now this is my games I'm going back and forth between. Witcher 3 Shadowrun returns Shadowrun dragonfall Killing floor 2 Jazzpunk

Some things I will preorder even if there's a chance it will be crap. I'm not gonna be preordering fallout 4 but I will be getting it. I'm gonna try my hardest not to spoil myself with anything and go in expecting to be disappointed that way I won't be let down )

Following the weird conventions for Japanese localization, Secret of Mana is the second game in the series while Secret of Mana 3 (or 2) was never released on the states there was a relatively high profile translation project for the ROM version for emulators. Its a good game. I really need to learn Japanese lol. Very fond memories of SoM when I was young. Glad the others were good, and didn't fail like the second chrono trigger did......shivers

Wait......there's a secret of mana 3 let alone there was a second one as well??????

Yeah poor choice to use. It's hot and I just got finished walking to work and when u step into the doors of walmart, everyone's iq drops.....so yeah, couldn't think of a word at that time to fit lol. Long knife-yes, I'm saying u gonna have to settle for less. Obsidian did fallout new Vegas and Bethesda with Todd Howard leading did Skyrim. 2 separate companies with separate flavored and focus. Tbh since Bethesda got rid of Kirkbride their ingame writing has been nose diving further and further. Kirkbride is the one who has written most of the lore and story that TES games are using and still following, that's why the lore is outstanding but the execution ingame has been very subpar along with Todds direction. Obsidian is focused on story and c&c, Bethesda is focused on exploration and theme parks. I'm saying ur gonna have to settle for less because Bethesda has always, ALWAYS been reinventing the wheel and cutting things and "streamlining" to make room for other ideas. Writing has never been a focus point for them, though they have had a few gems, it's never been the focus that a Bethesda game has great writing...

Longknife, take some advice from from me. Quit looking into it and go in without comparing it to the older titles. Should you do this? Ethically no because I agree with everything you've been saying, but for me to get any enjoyment outta it I'm gonna go in expecting and thinking its a new IP. Bethesda has this thing about reinventing the wheel every single time and cutting corners. We can sit here and bitch and moan, buts it's Bethesda and right now besides witcher 3 there isn't really any RPGs out so even if we vote with our wallet, they won't notice our lack money throw at them. It's like fallout 3. Very fun game but a very horrible "fallout" game. I have a feeling fallout 4 is gonna be the same, whereas Bethesda wants each game to be judged by its own merits but because it's part of a series we the customers are gonna compare it to the others. Don't compare it to the others such as fallout new Vegas and hopefully we both will enjoy the game for simply being a fun game and won't get hung up on the "fallout" part because we know it will be lacking. So my advice is to simply go in thinking brand new ip and don't think of the older titles and hopefully we both will find some enjoyment outta it. We can then sit and pray that obsidian will get a second shot and make the next fallout game a fun but also a good "fallout" game. Otherwise we are just setting ourselves up for justified disappointment.

Yeah I didn't know about it either until I got my 4th one and I had to manually ask a moderator if they ever dropped and they told me how. Otherwise I woulda been banned a long time ago.

As someone who got very close to being permabanned before when skyrim was out and frustrated about the dlcs and some flaming before, the marks never drop off themselves. U have to contact a moderator to get the marks taken off one by one. So far I shoulda been banned at least 4 times over with them. I will agree it's flawed in that the warnings don't drop off themselves. Gonna miss ya over there.

That post somewhat restored my excitement for this game ) I doubt there will be an actual fix from them. Now I could hopefully get excited that since xbox1 is gonna be running windows 10 and with pc users with windows 10, I'm hoping that it'd carry over to of users. Hopefully.

I will admit that my only real experience with modding and mods is with TES and bethesdas fallout games. Tbh mods are free advertising even long after the company moves on from the game. It also will bring in players who (from personal experience) may disagree with the current setup but will play the game either thru curiosity or because a lot of what they disagree with can be changed or fixed thru mods. I'll give 2 examples. First example is fallout new Vegas. While now it's my favorite rpg of all time right next to Morrowind, I started out hating the game. I had it for the Xbox 360 and thought it dull and horrible. Used to blast obsidian on the forums for some time, until I bought a gaming PC and saw som mods I was interested in. It was mods who got me back into the game and thru multiple playthrus of heavy modded and even some "vanilla" modded playthrus, made me fall in love with the game and sunk countless hours into it. Second example is skyrim. Severely disappointed in the game would be an understatement, but becaus of mods I have sunk many hours into it due to Requiem and many of the quest and new landscape mods. Now sometimes due to the graphic mods, I will turn it on just to wander for a little bit and take in the sights. Point is I view that modding and even having a subforum for people to gather and share info and experiences, the pros will outwieght the cons by a vast amount. I just think maybe some guidelines should be agreed upon by the community or I dare say experienced modders who have seen what works and at wont to lay the foundation for modding to grow and flourish. Because I really think that if obsidian can either make it easier to mod or people to stand up and take charge of certain things, the outcome will only benefit this game, the company, and the community as well. For it to grow, ideas and help should be given freely between people who in turn remembers to respect the others as well.
