What was your first character, anon?
Mine was an augmented elven street-samurai.
an augmented dwarven street-samurai name Tyber
>>320981283
my first character was a fire spell focused shaman (or mage, can't remember) called Dante
then they pulled the same joke with the fucking hellhound
Ork Shaman nicknamed punchy. He punched things and then got an axe and punched things with that.
An augmented dwarven Rigger/Decker.
Physical Adept Troll names Ash.
I always play punch women whenever possible.
human hacker with corporate talky and a pistol
I want tofuckEiger.
>>320981283
elven shaman
Elven mage with maxed out charisma.Vidya is all about escapism dammit.
Elf Gunslinger. Pistols and baggy coats only.
>>320981283
Non-augmented human street samurai who was good at shooting.Yes. The average Hollywood hero style
The first one (as in Shadowrun remake) was so bland that I can't even remember it. I even finished it with that first character.
Human decker
I actually could not imagine playing this game as anything other than a decker
>>320982125
I was thinking about creating a Decker Gunslinger, is it fun?
Shadowrun Returns: Decker pistols
Shadowrun Dragonfall: Decker rifle
Shadowrun Hong Kong: Decker monofilament whip. The whip was a fun weapon.
Think all of them were elves.
I'm actually gonna start playing right now for the first time.
Gonna make a human decker and call himWilson the Hotdogger.
>>320982105
Shit, like Van Damme in Cyborg?
In Dragonfall my first character was a human decker named DeadLine.
My Hong Kong character was a troll street-samurai named Grox. Super augmented. Used razor claws. This character was really fun to play.
Why are there suddenly so many Shadowrun threads?
Elf Decker
Holy fuck I'm always broke and I need to escort this cyber troll thing back out of this fucking building
>>320983689
>razor claws
Are those in the previous games too? And are we talking Molly-like retractile claws or always on grotesque shits which make it impossible to move around?
>>320982286
God, that fucking whip
I don't care that it was technically a bug and overpowered, it was great getting buffed by teammates and just charging in and whipping everyone to death singlehandedly
>>320983914
Yeah, it was so much fun. I was set on getting the whip no matter how bad it would be, but it's always great when you unintentionaly find a op weapon.
Which is the order in which the games should be played?
>>320984406
2->3 or 3->2 I guess. With the exception of a named characters thats pops in to say hi, and a few referances in the news and such, there isnt any real connections between the stories.
>>320984406
original Shadowrun Returns never
Dragonfall Director's Cut
then Hong Kong
Which Shadowrun should I start with? Never played one but I've played loads of cRPGs back in the day
>>320984574
>>320984609
Is returns that bad?
>>320981283
>What was your first character, anon?
Mage, because that's literally the only thing your companions don't have covered. And reading auras is fu-OHGODNOPLEASEGODNOMAKEITSTOP.
>>320984674
>>320984609
>>320984574
Nevermind, 4chan didn't show me these messages
Carry on
>>320984709
It's not the worst game you'll ever play but it's entirely forgettable and the last bits get really frustrating. Dragonfall is where it got much better, with actually decent NPCs and a home base kind of quest hub you return to and a bit of variety in mission choice instead of just being 100% linear
>>320981283
>dragonfall
human street sam with a shotgun and a katana
>hong kong
all american ork street sam with cyberclaws
>>320984709
Nah, it's just obviously their first effort and it shows. Dragonfall DC is actually built for PC so you don't have to battle the UI half the time, but I did like some of SRR's low-key story until it goes full retard. It's a decent introduction to Shadowrun.
Troll adept
Was fun two-shotting every regular guy on HardUnless of course my 98% hit chance misses, which usually resulted in pain
>>320983805
probably on sale somewhere or something
>>320981283
That last fight, though. AI was doing some serious cheating there.
So I can play a fantasy race while being an augmented mage hacker in this?
>>320985823
Yeah, you just can't go full Technomage because technological implants pretty much eat away at your soul.
SRR: Elf Adept after my first tabletop Shadowdrun character.
Dragonfall: Troll-decker/rigger.
Hong Kong: Human Street Sam with as much cyberware as I could cram.
A Face type dude with an assault rifle.
Dragonfall is really generous with Karma. My character absolutely wrecked shit with just his rifle, and I had high enough attributes + Biotech and Decking that I could pass almost every conversation check in the game that wasn't magic-related.
>>320985902
how good is magic compared to technology?
>no porn of Eiger
JUST
>>320981283
unfortunately i rolled dwarf shaman
2nd run went much better with ork and his AK 47
>>320986065
Dunno, never played a mage or a Shaman for that matter.
Technology is pretty good tho, and helps a lot considering the setting.
>>320985797
To be fair there's a lot of cheating overall, which is the only way an AI can "outsmart" a player in a turn based game
The one I hate the most is:
>several encounters in succession
>unlucky rolls
>barely make it through
>just need to get to the exit
>end turn
>LOL REINFORCEMENTS
>two party members get downed by grenade launcher
Is there any way of killing the big ass Orc in the prologue?
>>320986065
Its not very reliable, you have to be on a lay line for the money shots.
Buffs are alright though.
>>320986408
I mean, troll, fug.
>>320986408
Unless they changed that in the DC (didn't try), you can make him flee, but I don't think he can be killed.
>>320986065
Shaman AoE healing totem is amazing. Buff are also good.
>>320981283
This one and return are on sale on humble store right now. Should I?
Ork Shaman who mostly specialised in shotguns and only really cast spells to fist things.I rp'd him as a gruff old war veteran with a good heart
>>320986408
he retreats when injured
>>320986728
Yes
I had a nice elvish decker/rifle-gal. Focused a bit on face skills, but mostly sniped and hacked a lot.
Wanted to try something different than my shotgunner from Returns, because that was so OP it was absurd. But I felt like rifles were pretty OP in this game as well. I was really happy with decking though, glad they actually included it in this game.
Returns was an awful, buggy mess that I can't recommend to anybody. DF was pretty stellar, enough to forgive the few bugs I ran into. Looking forward to playing Hong Kong sometime soon.
>>320984709
>Is returns that bad?
Yes. I wasn't even able to finish it because it kept glitching out at the last boss fight, and LOL AUTOSAVES. Worth skipping, to say the least.
>>320986853
What's the deal here, there's like 5 games on the store
>>320987056
You can actually save manually now. Although that entire end-game part with Harlequin was garbage.
>>320981283
Dwarf punch man
Looked silly
>>320987197
As mentioned in the thread, get Hong-kong and Dragonfall.
Returns is an okay game, but the other two are just better overall
>no one posted the best song in DF
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qy1XRbZTAM
For all three games, the idea was a human face-man type with charisma out the ass, capable enough with a pistol but not really a lot of firepower. The class I picked also got leveled up fairly well - decker in Returns and Dragonfall, rigger in Hong Kong (pic related - from my time replaying Returns in the Hong Kong engine, but the character was basically the same in Hong Kong). Hong Kong was really nice because I got lucky on the etiquettes I picked and managed to breeze through a lot of things through charisma.
I'll have to try some other classes or races some day, but so far, I'm pretty happy with the archetype I've got going. I like the talky type.
>>320981283
Is it true that you can fuck Eiger in Dragonfall?
>>320987494
Unhapilly, no.
>>320987465
Is that a stock portrait? I don't remember it but it's pretty OK.
Spent hours trying to find a good enough portrait for my character in every SR game because the stock ones looked like ass.
>>320987874
It's stock for Hong Kong - there's a lot of Kickstarter backers that got made into portraits, and there's a few decent ones in there.
>>320987248
Enough people complained about it that I figured it would be implemented sooner or later. But don't be surprised when I tell you I'll never be replaying it, so doesn't really change my opinion of the game. The autosave thing wouldn't have even bothered me if the game wasn't a glitchy shitpile.
>>320981283
this is my gun to, her knee jerk reaction to everything is shoot it
Why am i attracted to Eiger?
>>320990219
BIG
FIT
GIRLS
>>320990219
>eight foot tall tsundere fit troll clad in what is pretty much latex
It's hard not to be attracted to her
Is there a mod that speeds up the game?
Make it RTwP maybe?
