racter's root beef with eugenics is that it's barking up the wrong tree. there's no amount of selective breeding you can do to give yourself an integrated machine gun. if there was, he might be on board, but it can't, so he's not interested

the fact they didn't make Leonization just straight-up "its vampirism minus a couple of the more obvious vampire side effects" was a real missed opportunity

NeverHelm posted:That is what they did, though. The HMHVV thing mentioned before (well, one strain of it at least) is what causes vampirism (the first V is for "vampirism"). which is why the literally needing to do it would have been a good, also entertaining gag. congrats, we can give you... LEONIZATION! just, uh. come over for dinner. no reason

there are parts of Hong Kong that do not rise to the same level as Dragonfall. Gaichu is not one of them

every once in a while an RPG decides it's going to take a metaphor and run with it, and they've been kind enough to have Gaichu put his right on the table for you in that chain. between "yeah I was recruited to be a fascist street tough," "my training's philosophy was about Always Choose Death," and the fact he's a ghoul: gaichu is a man whose entire life was leading up to the glorious moment he could fulfill his death drive, and go out in glory on behalf of his masters and duty. and then the moment came, and he lived instead. the dead man walks, a violation of all the laws of god, man, and everything he personally had believed. and yet, somehow the world keeps turning. we are beginning to suspect the laws were bullshit.

Also the climax of the only actual shadowrun in the game features a sudden total collapse of QA. the bit where you talk to the VP after having been smuggled in as a janitor is written at 'enthusiastic teenager' level

Xander77 posted:Is that game good, btw? Seems like every LP of it on SA avoids the campaign like a plague, which seems like a warning sign. game's good, campaign is even pretty good as a narrative! it's just that the campaign doesn't have much replay value and you're going to 'solve' the game strategically pretty fast in vanilla.

Kobal2 posted:Yeah, pretty much. Also it's a bit repetitive without DLC ; but since DLC and mods exist, game v. good. the gag behind the campaign is extremely good, too: it is a fully feudal story, with all instances of the word "magic" replaced with "technology," played completely straight. they never so much as wink at it, and it all flows naturally in-universe. you might need someone to point it out to notice that you have just done a quest for a wizard so he'll decipher a magic map for you, and that he has just told you to beware, for while the treasure is as great as legends say it is guarded by a terrible curse.

to assense is the process of giving somebody a once-over with magesight or in the astral plane. you may recall it from back in Dragonfall, where an Awakened character can try to do this to the cyberzombie, and immediately need to pass a difficult Body check to not vomit and pass out.

an important detail on Adversary that you can miss in Dragonfall is that Harrow is only sort of an Adversary shaman Shamanism is a two way street, and as totems shape humans, humans can shape totems. there is a phenomenon called Toxic Shamans, who have twisted their totem's ideals into something that is entirely counter to what they're usually about. the Adversary is about rebellion against the Man. yes, he seduces, yes, he manipulates, yes, he knows he's doing right when they call him the bad guy. but when you use the power of the Throne-Breaker to build yourself a throne, you are tapping something into something that's on the Adversary's "dies screaming for mercy that will not come" list. if you say 'better to rule in hell than serve in heaven' the Adversary is coming at you, very fast, smiling widely, white-hot flame trailing from his fists, at precisely word three. spoilers for the previous game: there is a reason Glory gets some of her shamanic powers back if she kills the motherfucker.
