Trolls don't have great Intel which is needed for good decking things - they're awesome for physical builds. I like elves as the charisma boost is nice when it comes to doing dialogue things which show more plot things and open up alternate paths.

Nah. I beat all three games with troll deckers. 6 int is enough to breeze through any hacking you find.

Anything above and this will be a session in unusual pain and suffering.

On normal though, I find the game a bit TOO easy.

I play on Hard mode, so a six int decker wouldn't do it for me. Also, you won't meet requirements for the last deck.

Screw VH mode though.

I tend to like deckers just as they open lots of branching story paths and other ways to go about doing things. Matrix runs are almost always fun and give you lots of sidequests and extra loot so I'm fond of playing one as my main.

No love for riggers or shamans around here from the looks of it, zero votes for either so far. Mage looking pretty strong.

Right now "the first voter wins" Rosa, the Female Human Mage and "muscle wizard" Armstrong, the Male Troll Mage seem to be the two candidates that stand out above the rest, but it's not a done deal. We'll probably settle it with a short poll if things remain as is.

Since we didn't save our favourite slum and the bar it contained at the end of DMS, I'm voting to recreate Amazon, with the justification that after the Union shut down she followed Harlequin's hint about Brackenhaus, who is totally not a dragon in disguise, going back to Germany. With her contacts dried up, and the payday from Telestrian dwindling she set out to Europe in the hopes of better runs there.

Berlin is almost always the second most popular Shadowrun locale after Seattle, for whatever reason. Germany was a huge market for Shadowrun, dunno which was the cause of the other.

Nah, hardest difficulty and it took me till the third game to realize esp was a trap skill.

You can make darn near anything your decker and be fine, you just might need to run a bit more aoe to offset your reduced aim.

Which I personally like because otherwise you couldn't slap all the cool new weapons on your mc if you want to do decking.

e: hahaha, I totally missed Geek, the mage. That's great!

Germany was a huge market for Shadowrun since punk/cyberpunk was huge there in the 80's/90's for obvious reasons, and boardgames/tabletops have always been really popular there. I think selling well in Germany led to FASA producing a lot of material centered around Germany/Berlin. Which, in turn, encouraged both German and non-German players to run campaigns there.

Well, Noog looks like i imagine most goons here look irl.



As of 4th Edition the german version of the SR tabletop rulebook still had a additional section about SR Cyberpunk-Germany and its structures: The poisoned SOX regions around Hamburg, Berlin, Main-Ruhr-Plex and Saeder-Krupp and the Troll kingdom in Schwarzwald etc.

Edit: Hey, i am all for elven Decker/Riggers in Dragonfall, but it was time for someone new.

Strictly speaking Amazon was always a decker for whom people voted drones as the weapon of choice. It's true that the rigger side of things did end up stealing the limelight eventually though.

If you mean when the first update's gonna be, it'll probably take a couple of days since I can only work on dialogue stuff and such without a player character.

is currently in the lead but it's still anybody's game so I'm not gonna call it this early.

Well, we just did a rigger run, and the shaman role is pretty well covered in DF. Decker/Mage roles are nicely vacant though.
