Keyrock Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 If Dragonfall is anything like The Deadman's Switch, then I expect money will stop being an issue in the latter portions of the game, unless you play a character that goes through medkits like he's popping candies and lobs grenades by the half dozen. I like the fact that I've been able to use my rigging skills a couple of times now outside of just controlling my drone and having it shoot up my enemies.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Aaaand it's done. Fhew. An improvement in all respects over DMS. I was perfectly happy with the base game, too, considering the financial and other constraints the developers had to work with, but Dragonfall I'm perfectly happy with, full stop.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Playing an Adept/Mage. Love that Adept spells have passive benefits now, and encounters are a step-up so far. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "I'm gonna hunt you down so that I can slap you square in the mouth." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "Am I phrasing in the most negative light for them?

Ganrich Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just finished my first play through of DF as a Decker/pistoleer. It is significantly better than Dead Man's Switch. Save system is better, economy is better, interactivity is better, encounters are better, just better all around. I think my only complaint over the game is: now that you have a runner group of companions you should be able to access their inventory more frequently to give them stuff from your stash. At present, unless I missed something, you can only give them stuff at the beginning of missions and sometimes your inventory is full while their's is empty. Why can't I select Glory's inventory when I pick up a med kit? Or Dietrich's inventory when I find a fetish? It is irritating, but it is mostly a late game issue. everything else is a thumbs up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Never played the first game, but Dragonfall got me interested, as I live in the Berlin area. Played a bit over 1 hour and so far it's quite fun.

Hurlshort Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Dead Man's Switch was really enjoyable, but Dragonall really shows how much this developer has grown artistically, game engine wise, and with character development. I look forward to whatever they do next and I've gotten way above my moneys worth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Pretty sure it's because when they started, they had to invest most resources into the editing tools. Now that this stuff was done, they had more time for the real game. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Leferd Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 4 hours in. Agreed that it's an improvent over a Dead Man's Switch. Really enjoying it.

Yeah, it really seems like it's a situation of being able to focus on the content aspects rather than pipelines/infrastructure and so forth.

babaganoosh13 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This is looking like it will get bumped up to third on the to do list after South Park.

Hurlshort Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think I can finish it before South Park comes out, I'm pretty far into it. Be sure to pet the dog a few times, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGX-17 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Still waiting for the promised "decent user generated content" to fill the gap after the demo/launch campaign. Great system and gameplay, severe lack of quality scenarios. Edited March 3, 2014 by AGX-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Really enjoying the story in the second one. I think they did a much better job in allowing a bit more character driven campaign. I have to beat this on Monday for South Park.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oner Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I'm really liking Dragonfall too, I just wish it didn't have a bug or two in every mission. And Blitz's subplot makes me want to bang a hole in a wall with my head.

ShadySands Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I just finished my second playthrough and I discovered a lot of stuff that I had missed the first time around but... everything still plays out the same way no matter what you do but It's not that surprising considering the budget and timetable involved. You always only get the same missions so it doesn't matter if you piss off your employers because there are no follow up jobs anyway. You can, however, skip the last run if you budget and hoard accordingly. I can't wait for the next campaign, expansion, DLC, whatever Edit- we need a kickstarter to get Obsidian to make a mod so I can die happy Edited March 4, 2014 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Finished Dragonfall and I must say I really enjoyed it. Much better than the original campaign and one of the most well-written games I've played probably. Shadowrun is pretty silly in a lot of ways but they really managed to find the right "beat" with the story. Really good, hope they get to make more. 2 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pfft, I didn't need to split my team B-) Though I did consider it haha. I think I got the last one at 9 turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213374U Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just finished Dragonfall. Much better than DMS but STILL NO PARTY INVENTORY MANAGEMENT. Seriously. How hard can it be? I finished the game with ~10k left because there was literally nothing to buy. Some of the spells/guns looted in certain runs that I couldn't use were only good to sell for more money that I couldn't spend anyway. Bah. Atmosphere was pretty good (as in DMS) but I wish the ending sequence was more reactive. And I'm kinda butthurt that I didn't get to kick the villain in the face till my foot fell off after he made me chew through a gajillion generic elite mercs. Shutting Audran up was almost as satisfying as suckerpunching McKlusky in DMS, though. They fixed deckers being basically useless which is good, but Matrix sequences are still soul crushingly boring, which is not so good. Other than that, it's the best game I've played all year. If they can keep the progression up, the next campaign should be nothing short of a classic. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Noviere Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I finally finished Dragonfall this morning -- It was such a huge improvement over DMS. I did find the last set of levels to be a bit boring, and also some stuff just went over my head... What was the ventilation terminal/map you get on the level before the final fight for? I could change which vent, and activate a bypass mode, but I have no idea what it did. . I was cranky when I bought my final decker "armor" and it looked like a brown version of my starting gear, however. I looked like Indiana Jones(without the hat) with a keytar stuck on my back I wish my character could have looked as cool as the NPCs in the game.
