Forum Overview :: Shadowrun
 
I've put about 5 hours into it by jeep 07/25/2013, 4:47pm PDT
it's like the first neverwinter nights, but shadowrun. also it has a dev kit and is moddable like nwn1 and is already wired up to steam workshop so if you don't buy it now you will end up buying it to play a mod later

if you played the old stuff it's more like the genesis one than the snes one

if you know the tabletop system the characters are fully customizable, but only from a few editions back so the adepts are stuck with melee powers etc. mostly you want to focus on guns.

I did: charisma, rifles and decking, then put a point into everything else so I could have extra heals from spells, basic meatshield summons. etc. I put too much into charisma early so I had extra dialogue options but also I was behind in combat. decking you can wait on because it isn't a big deal for the first few hours. you get karma 1-2 at a time for small tasks, 5-6 for finishing a run and once I got 9 for like a chapter ending kind of event.
