The drone-using female elven Amazon brigade is looking real strong right now. It's not set in stone yet but if that's how things'll end up going, here's the portrait I was thinking of going with.



She clearly suffered a drone malfunction and now understands the importance of safety goggles.

I've never actually played as a decker because I only played the first game once and gave up near the end and in the sequels you get a permanent decker party member who can handle it with no problems.

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.

3) decking is useless in the final mission. Not that I recall the game giving me any warning about that. You won't be happy if you left your new toy behind to make space for your deck.

I never understood (ok I understand, but his flaws are strengths to me) the Blitz hate, he makes me laugh + he's the single most competent decker the games ever give you (at least at the decking part, Is0bel is definitely better in meat space). He's almost as competent as a PC decker which is something not even Is0bel can claim since he at least upgrades his deck to a max AP model.

Psion posted:

What you're talking about was solved in Director's Cut - if I remember right, prior to that he didn't get those level-up boosts and his stats never grew appropriately. In original DF, he really was that bad. I imagine that's where a lot of the hate comes from.

My weird cyberspace bug was Is0bel managing to jack in twice, somehow. Two avatars makes things way easier.

Kanfy posted:

Of course in our case it'd require changing outfits which I'm not sure I have the heart for.

Especially since it seemed to place more emphasis on large-scale combats, which I don't like in turn-based games.

Yeah, I tried splashing into decker for Returns, but I never had the nuyen for both that and my Street Sam's otherwise necessary chrome and guns. I figured since he was a dedicated decker character, Blitz would be able to competently fill that niche in Dragonfall. I just didn't expect him to be so mediocre at it, although he did get the job done, and pretty much crap in combat outside the Matrix.

Is0bel in Hong Kong was a lot better at both and had better characterization to boot. There was a party decker done well, I almost never had her off the team, that grenade launcher was so helpful for when she wasn't jacked in.

Ugh, I understand it's difficult to create outfits that are visually distinctive and appropriate to the setting, but most of the stuff that isn't outright "Matrix" is pretty bad.

Kanfy posted:

I've discovered a fair amount of dialogue stuff I didn't know about in the course of this LP as well. Going through each individual dialogue choice, screenshotting them all and then choosing what to include in the LP itself is actually one of the more time-consuming parts of this whole thing but it's neat to find new stuff. Of course I can always look at the convo files themselves but that's also a bit of a pain due to the way they're arranged and structured.

Can we get an infodrop on Chicago now? I've always wondered about it.

quote:

Chicago (/ʃɪˈkɑːɡoʊ/ or /ʃɪˈkɔːɡoʊ/), officially the City of Chicago, is the third-most populous city in the United States. With over 2.7 million residents, it is also the most populous city in both the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is the county seat of Cook County. The Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, has nearly 10 million people and is the third-largest in the U.S. Chicago has also been called a global architecture capital.[6][7] In terms of wealth and economy, Chicago is considered one of the most important business centers in the world.[8]

Positioned along Lake Michigan, the city is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications, and transportation: O'Hare International Airport is the second-busiest airport in the world when measured by aircraft traffic; the region also has the largest number of U.S. highways and rail road freight.[13] In 2012, Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network,[14] and ranked seventh in the world in the 2016 Global Cities Index.[15] Chicago has the third-largest gross metropolitan product in the United States—about $640 billion according to 2015 estimates.[16] The city has one of the world's largest and most diversified economies with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce.[17]

In 2016, Chicago hosted over 54 million domestic and international visitors, a new record making it one of the top visited cities in the nation.[18][19] Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, novels, film, theater, especially improvisational comedy, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel[20], and house music. There are many colleges and universities in the Chicago area; among these, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities.

Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues. The city has many nicknames, the best-known being the Windy City and Chi-Town.[21]

It's a shame pretty much everything else in AP was mediocre at best.

A quick check says that the Ghost, Harlequin, and Dodger were all rebalanced for their respective missions in 1.2.7; I don't have specifics, but I'm pretty sure it was improvement on all three.

Fun fact: if you weren't a consistent wise-rear end you wouldn't be able to goad him into fighting to the death in Italy instead of peacing out.
