The main problem with Glory (and melee characters in general, though I never really played any) is that the game has a limited number of actions per combat turn, rather than a limited number of action points. So you can't order Glory to run to a specific point next to an enemy and attack from there - you either waste two separate actions or you rely on her AI. And I'm pretty sure the AI doesn't even make any tactical considerations when attacking in melee, merely plotting the quickest route to the target.

Such an easy thing to fix, as well.

uh...her body ain't THAT high. Out of cover she MIGHT be able to take one extra hit (with my luck would be a 20+ damage crit). When you're out of cover having an extra 10 or 20 hitpoints is not as great as an advantage as you're making it out to be. Plus she doesn't get any movement bonuses, so she might be able to pop 2 people out of cover depending on how close they are to each other (and likely she would miss those hits anyways, making it all for nothing).
Just to reiterate my point from earlier - it would have been so easy to allow the player to fine tune how a melee attacker approaches their target so that they would have a better chance of ending up in cover after making the attack. Melee would still be underpowered, but not stupidly so.

I think it was established in the previous thread that Blitz got a major boost to his stats with the Directors Cut. A lot of the hatred (besides his lovely personality) comes from people who experienced Blitz classic, who is just THAT terrible.

Which, admittedly, doesn't really say as much as it could, because there's not exactly all that much in the way of intelligent competition for those other 70%. It's easy to be the unchallenged ruler of Mars if there's nobody else willing to go the distance to contest you for your dead rock.

That seems generically cyberpunk enough. Thing is - in most cyberpunk settings, anything outside the big cities is irradiated / polluted / filled with enough monsters to make the exclusion zone look like a roadside picnic.

I think I know the answer to this, but are any of the Shadowrun novels worth reading on their own merits? I picked up a couple on cheap for the kindle (Fire and Frost and Never Deal With a Dragon) and they were just dire - all plodding exposition and clumsy fanservice.
I'm not asking for high literature, just some cool shadowun adventures that don't take themselves too seriously.
People have recommended their favorite Shadowrun fanfics a few pages ago, and it's all incredibly dire. Can't imagine standards are any higher when it comes to official stuff.
