Shadowrun Shadowrun Returns Pre-Release Thread

Summary from the QA session:

You have the option to hide Stat based check dialogue options in conversation with the editor. If you don't like ones that cannot be used because you fail the requirement you can have them hidden.

There is now gore it will fade in time.

You can damage your team with friendly fire.

There is Drain Damage if you want to cast a spell before the spell is available (if it is still waiting for the cooldwon to expire).

There is currently no way to add user created art (tile sets, portraits, or character models etc...). They may try to add that after release.

The first released version has NO co-op but they may add it in a future DLC/Expansion.

They DO also would love the idea of a GM online mode.

Interactive items can be hidden, as in the indicator that is interactive can be turned off (something like that).

Decking has gone though 3 iteration on paper, but they have not liked how it turned out in game. Still working on it.

EDIT:

You CAN loot a body, in the example they provided, you kill a person and then can find a key item on them (say like a pass card to reach a new level).

EDIT 2:

You will be able to talk your way trough some runs. The facing system features a charisma attribute, that basically gives you more choices in dialogues (strength seems to have also an impact when intimidating) and the 3 Etiquette skills, that will allow you to blend in and pass security guards if you act and dress the right way. They talked about Corporatist, Ganger and Socialite Etiquette, so there is a lot to invest if you want to be the perfect Face.

 

Doh! Yeah I meant DECKING. Thanks!

 

Yeah I was terrified the ugly cancerous decline of OMG! CO-OP!!!! was going to be announced in the final game. But it's not.

It sounds like (if the game sells well) they may do the co-op and the GM mode later which I'd buy. A GM mode would be very fucking cool. <3

 

If you watch the video they explain why this isn't like Diablo and other rpg's.

They wanted to focus more on the missions and story and not have bodies puking up items and gold.

As for your corpse idea, that can be easily done in the editor. It is unknown if they use such a mechanic in the main game story.

 

But if we get a GM mode, we can have Codex GM sessions!

 

I'm going to assume a Dragon will be involved in the main quest....
