OutofSight posted:Imagine Mark Zuckerberg would stay forever looking like twentysomething. But he has a sweet chrome-arm with wifi port = gps tracking for instant facebook access.(like the corp form Deus Ex: Human Revolution) And he wants to cut everone's limbs and replace them with sweet facebook arms, too. I have the feeling Zuck would try to transplant his head out of his scrawny physical body onto a buff robo body a la Jaron Namir over the protests of his underlings and die from the essence loss.

I loving LOVE the Alice setup. It's basically the perfect excuse to have some ACTUAL shadowrunning in this game: you need a crap load of money to find the one person who can help you who has been missing for decades so get working. You can't give the "I am trying to save the world" excuse because there's something hunting those who knows too much. Heck, the person who you need to give a crap load of money to isn't even gouging you or anything: she even points out that she needs the money to pay off a LOT of OTHER people to find this guy. This is where the game really starts getting good. Strap in lads.

Interesting real world events relevant to this game: the real life Kreuzberg's residents are lobbying against Google setting up shop there and gentrifying the gently caress out of the place: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/may/09/gently caress-off-google-the-berlin-neighbourhood-fighting-off-a-tech-giant-kreuzberg

Yup, we were just tricked into committing a terrorist bombing. Lesson learned: never deal with a hipster. Kanfy posted:And so thanks to our skill and competence the job was finished to the letter with (almost) minimal casualties - meaning in the end the seemingly enslaved elf is dead, the racist rear end in a top hat is paid and gets away scott-free, Luca gets exactly what he wants and Jana's ordinary life with her cat and her boyfriend is probably ruined forever. I have the feeling that James' horrified look is him realizing that if they were expecting him to die that means they want to get rid of him and that his days are numbered.

bewilderment posted:In the world of Shadowrun, population changes of various wacky kinds means those high-rises got changed back into high-density apartments much like the old walled city! Is the fact that the Walled City was torn down but was later REBUILT canon Shadowrun or something made up for Hong Kong? Because I found that point hilarious. Slaan posted:All these massive drug price increases seem more reasonable now that we know it's standard industry practice to install gun turrets, extreme ICE protection, and dozens of armed goons at every minor facility People cant afford their drugs so they try to break into the labs, which leads to more security, which leads to more expensive drugs...chicken and egg problem, really.

That's why she's great. Tylana posted:Hmm. No Lodge request for that mission? I wonder what would be worse, being asked to kill the rigger or to save him? Imagine if you had all the reasons the game gives but you also know it'll make the Lodge happy. The Lodge only calls when you REALLY don't want them to.

This upcoming run is better than it has any right to be. It's worth having Blitz on your crew for it alone. Kinda screws you over a bit if you're not specced right, though.

I dont know posted:I saw Robocop for the first time a few months back. There is a throwaway line in there about how profitable OCP's prison division is. That got a bitter laugh from me. At the time it was made, the idea of the government privatizing the prison system to for profit corporations was regarded as a parody of corporate greed as oppose to just being the system. The full line is "You'll find that we've gambled in areas traditionally regarded as non profit: hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it." It just sounds so QUAINT now.

So does the game actually put all other objectives on hold when the option to start this missions shows up (and thus we are essentially going to see these missions being completed with a much weaker team than we are "supposed" to have right now or as long as you don't talk to her, it's fine? Also, lore-wise, how suicidal is taking this job? It sounds like "Kick Lofwyr in the balls" level of suicidal.

Hwurmp posted:iirc the trouble with those QTEs was that there was never a reason to not take every single one of them. It never had any negative consequences or put you at any sort of disadvantage. The big disadvantage was if you did Renegade interrupts if you were playing mostly Paragon or vice versa: there was a hidden stat that the more you stayed consistent, the faster you built up Charm/Intimidate and if you didn’t do that you could miss a lot of Charm/Intimidate checks later on. It’s utter loving bullshit how they give you role playing options and screw you over like that. I’m extremely glad RPGs have started to move away from Karma Meter bullcrap.
