    Man a pure rigger with two robots with 3 AP getting out of those vents to flank the enemies and get criticals like crazy... rigger was already OP on Dragonfall, now they are even more OP.

    So, yeah, it is available on GoG and it says in a note that it is free for owners of the original. However, it still wants to make me pay and the DC has not been added to the library automatically. Mhm..

    There's a gift code inside your SRR tab in the library that you can redeem.

    I got it in my library but it doesn't want to open.

    Alright, it finally appeared for me. Downloading...

    Really enjoyed Dragonfall. It's been awhile since I wanted to replay an RPG. Of course, it's not that long.

    Now, what class and race to be...

    You could try melee. It's fun in DF, more so than in DMS. I didn't really enough points to invest in Physical Adept since all my karma was consumed by Close Combat and other things just to hit harder and more accurately. You will def. hit harder than the razorgirl since she's a bit crippled by being a ranged/melee hybrid. I tried to branch into Shamanism but it wasn't that effective (couldn't get better spells than Haste by endgame).

    Three things I noticed:
    Enemies use alot more grenades than before, on the fight at the club ground floor, on the second mission, I was bombed with five grenades at the two first turns. Keeping two or more characters close together was almost painting a "Throw a grenade here idiot." to the Ai.
    I don't know... but on very hard, your accuracy seems a lot lower than it was before. I was missing all the time and the aim spell was very, very useful. This made the fights more difficult but alot longer too what I don't know if I like.
    The flanking system is... kinda inconsistent, sometimes I'm flanked and I'm not even sure why as the enemy is on my front and other times I'm cleary flanking the guy but no flank bonus. I'm still trying to understand it.

    UPDATE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1613260297/shadowrun-returns/posts/990111

    Accuracy doesn't seem that different to me. You probably just forgot how low it is when you're beginning.

    Quick question before I start playing: SR was extremely easy and only very hard was a somewhat acceptable difficulty. Is the same true for DF? On what difficulty should I play?

    Stay on Very Hard. Game is still not incredibly challenging but no longer a mindless broken cakewalk.

    heh I HATE it when it comes to naming CHARNAME, I just said fuck it and did JaesunX...

    Not terribly original but whatever.... :M

    EDIT: That build is fucking terrible.... I need to re-do that. Bunch of shit I don't need. I always accidentally click on the pre-made, not custom character builds...

    It could be but I have an adept with 5 strengh and 4 on close combat and while trying to hit the enemies at melee I had like 30% chance to hit by the second mission on some enemies.

    Hard difficulty definitely feels harder. I actually ended up having to use medkits (and even a trauma kit) in the first few missions...

    I think it's a combination of enemies taking cover and their effective health being higher due to armor + not many armor-breaking abilities available at low levels (so basically you can't easily kill at least one of them per round ala vanilla DF), and heavier grenade use hurts a lot. The SMG "flush from cover" ability is invaluable (makes Blitz a bit more useful when he's not decking). BTW,
    mini-spoiler for the new lodge mission (open)
    in the Lodge 'test run', even though the electrician dwarf was a noncombatant, she ended up as the freaking MVP with that tazer. Guaranteed 3AP hit with 90% to-hit chance and possibly critting for 6AP? I'll buy that for a dollarnuyen.

    Hm, yes, maybe I'll try that. I wonder if it makes sense to skill Glory towards pistols now that they have introduced some way to influence how the NPCs level up.

    Man Glory TEARS SHIT UP! And (now?) causes bleeding? I don't remember the bleeding damage in the older game.

    I definitely remember her doing bleeding damage when I played it earlier this year.

    Just got a chance to start playing. Man, that's one ugly title screen.

    Time to play the actual game. Fuck yeah!

    You could do it, but it seems like a waste of her predisposition. Her claws really become murder machines later on in the game.

    Now that I think of it, my melee playthrough (Blitz, Eiger, Glory, and a sword-wielding PC) was fucking unstoppable by mid-game. DF was already kind of easy except for on the hardest difficulty level, but my PC and Glory were just brutal. I'm pretty sure I killed the Ork guy in two rounds with both of us beating on him.
