Tiggum posted:A loving annoying countermeasure that really takes the shine off the fun new grenade launcher you just got. Combine that with the AI being way too grenade-savvy to begin with and grenades themselves being consumables so you don't like to use them in case a better use comes up later, and it adds up to yet another game where they were apparently paranoid about grenades being overpowered and so decided to preemptively ruin them. Eh, they're cheap enough and you don't run into too many enemies with the counter; I usually tucked one or two away on everyone for emergency use. Especially concussion/flashbangs.

Wow. That's almost literally "I'm so good at shooting things that all my problems are solved via my ability to shoot things." Or as it's known in other circles, equestrian medicine.

Also I'm pretty sure he's the only Decker/Shaman class character in the game(s) because that makes no drat sense if you're anyone who isn't Jake Armitage

Kanfy posted:If memory serves Dragonfall has the harshest first battle, probably because it was initially an expansion. All in all Returns is downright leisurely at the beginning compared to how quickly things escalate in those two. Oh yeah. That first battle was brutal--especially since you're expected to be forced to retreat.

Previous ones have been just fine. This one seems a bit jumbled/low, but that could be from how you sampled it. The crowd(?) noise is good for gameplay effect, but obscures the music.

Yeah. It doesn't make for a good focus for material, but on the flipside it adds a nice dash of "Consequences" and making things lived-in a bit when you have to deal with SINners--calling them "wageslaves" may be accurate, but it's too casually dehumanizing.

FoolyCharged posted:Nah I bet its that one team from hong kong's internet boards that keeps losing people to increasingly dumb things. It would have to be the guy that keeps losing teams, since this was a full party wipe. Still, "runner" shouldn't imply "competent"--any idiot with a gun and a poor sense of risk management can be a runner. "Experienced, Veteran runner" OTOH, definitely says that person is either really lucky, or has some real skills.

Evil Mastermind posted:Totem spirits (in general) are the embodiment of a certain archetype; for instance Dog is very loyal and protective of his friends, Rat is an urban survivor and thief, and so on. Totems are drawn to spiritually magic folks that match their personalities, so a shaman whose totem is Dog will more than likely be very loyal and protective of his friends even before being approached by the totem. Animals, madmen all.

Keep in mind that, while an interesting and fun character, he was also an absolute monster that could effortlessly be slotted into a campaign as the big bad.

Poil posted:You could play a decker yourself but then the most competent fighter on the team is tied up snorting pixel dust all the time. There are some times where you have to jack in/off during a running fight where that'll be a pain, but for the most part it's either between fights or just before one ("got the data....and now there's an alarm even though I didn't trip anything"). I could be misremembering, but I don't recall too many times where my decker main has been out of action from combat due to their crippling candy crush addiction. Really the problem is that the datajack prevents you from being a great mage, and the karma needs don't synergize well with any other combat stats.

RedMagus posted:Was it ever explicit that Sam sold his mom for a payday and a new liver, other than the one loading screen? Been a while since I played. Nah. There were breadcrumbs that led to "Sam got a new liver" and "Sam likely got his new liver from his mom" but the jump from that to "Sam ganked his dead mom's liver and liquidated her other major organs on the black market for more hookers and blow" is somewhat jarring. And yet, from what we know of the guy not terribly surprising.

Keeshhound posted:I didn't remember any mention of Sam getting more money when he had his "miracle" recovery, so my interpretation was that momma Watts might have been registered as an organ donor and committed suicide in order to save his life, causing Jessica to blame him for that, rather than Sam having an active role in it. Oh, I don't think he ganked his own mother, but after she died and gave him her liver, he may very well have pocketed some nuyen from some additional harvesting. Not going to make him rich, but definitely keep him comfy. Not like she was going to need the parts, after all... That said, it could simply be she was a donor and Sam was just a specific recipient. Really could go either way. vOv

Skypie posted:I'd always been under the impression that the runner who takes wetwork jobs is kinda rare. Like, yeah, they'll kill people in self defense or who get in the way, but the person who will pick up an out right assassination isn't your "average" runner. Definitely takes a certain type, but nuyen is nuyen at the end of the day. Depends on who the person getting hit works for too--it's one thing to steal from a mega, it's another thing to start whacking their people specifically. Not that they care, generally, but taking out a midlevel guy or better will probably affect project timetables and that means there'll be hell to pay. So there's that heat to consider. More likely though, a liquidation job would be against another runner or other annoyance.
