Your team has a companion who under literally any other circumstance would be a villain

I was so happy when I was finally able to tell Duncan to fuck off

Was Ignus a good boy?

My only problem with him is that he's objectively wrong about breaking a essence limit and no matter witch conversations you go through or skills you have, you can't call him out on it.

Fucking Molyneux

I like how he acts like he's hot shit because he's low at essence (2) while my pc was at 0.5.
Which brings me to anothert thing that having low essence doesnt affect dialogues at all.

Yeah, it's one of the things I wish had some impact whatsoever. I was also running around on as small amount of essence as I could, but it didn't affect my ability to be the face in any way

ya, i was blown away with how shitty battletech's writing was after hong kong was one of my favorite RPGs ever.

Who? I admit I don't remember HK very well as it failed to impress me. Among other failures.

The ghoul samurai

Ghoul Samurai.
It’s possible you killed him early on.

Ah. Your character trusted a ghoul? Interesting.

Sure, why not? I was already trusting two orcs

Goto sucked

Orcs are actual living, breathing people, though.

So are ghouls, idiot.

>cannibals infected with an incurable virus are people too
Wew lad.

They're still alive and they still breath. Those were the criteria you gave

Intelligent, pragmatic, realistic, deosnt constantly feel the need to sway you. Why is she so perfect Yea Forums?

Jade was a smart man. The villain always suffers some sort of hardships. Getting a comfy military position with a good pay and a loli sidekick is way better.

She is too incompetent to be a villain. If it weren't for your team she would've rotten in that kobold cage unless you've recruited her earlier.
Shame you can't romance her since she is one of 3 actually good female characters.

Are the shadowrun games worth playing? I own 1 and dragonfall but never got round to them

>tfw mowing down force sensitive incels with blasters like god intended

Dragonfall and Hong Kong are great. 1 has an alright story, but gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
Thankfully someone ported the entire game over to the Hong Kong engine as a standalone mod

It's a rather commonly used figure of speech, though:

And a person doesn't stop being a person just because they commit a crime. Not in my America, at least

I liked the combat of the original more than DF and especially HK. DF has the best story and characters, though. There are some user-made modules you should check out as well.

But Racter is the best companion

Why didn't they just continue doing what worked? Maybe it would have turned to shit eventually, but I'm sure we could've had some more good shadowrun titles in the fashion of the previous titles

Shadowrun Companion Tier list:

>God tier
Racter
Glory

>High tier
Eiger
Gaichu

>Meh tier
Blitz
Dietrich
Gobbet

>Autismal
Is0bel

>Insufferable twat
Duncan

because printing money by having the same good writers make a game once a year on an already developed engine and setting for peanuts would have made too much business sense

Blitz was definitely below Dietrich and Gobbet.

Blitz is fucking fun.
The fact he's a bit of a fuckup only makes him better.

Attached: 1546823396698.jpg (1920x1080, 210K)

Blitz is the best at being the worst and I adore him for it.

>Racter
>Edgy
He's a legit psychopath, not some goth teenager trying to impress his deadbeat dad

>being a good gay in kingmaker
>not going full hitler

This. I could not stand his whiny ass either, serves him well

Skip 1, enjoy dragonfall

Switch Eiger with Gobbet, and I will agree

Shadowrunners are mercenaries that murder people, break shit, and steal things for profit. They're all villains.

>villain
They prefer the term "carry" nowadays

I would say Gobbet belongs in the trash can, but she has lived in trash heaps all her life, so she would probably like it.

Don't bully the smelly shaman.

And he's me.

Is it time for MURDER?

Elaborate without buzzwords.

Why was ysobel such a fucking awful character? They did a great job with almost every other character in the trilogy and then you have one of the main characters in Hong Kong be even worse than fucking Blitz.

my point is you can't really be an asshole and roleplay the way you want. lots of npcs have reddit characteristics and you really can't tell them to fuck off and kill them

>reddit characteristics
Elaborate without buzzwords.

What the fuck are reddit characteristics?? The jokes they make? quaky shit?

Shadowrun is kind of weird to get into.

Must be hard not having a penis lol.

Fucker wanted my eyeball, so I ripped his out and fed it back to him.

all of that yes. characters like this too. she shouldn't survive for more than two minutes in a real cyberpunk world yet she's this crazy good hacker in shadowrun because and she survives thanks to her quirkyness

Pretty sure those are backer npcs, so literally OC donuts because they paid the most. That's why their faces are really weird, they got Harebrain to draw over their photos or something.

Take that back about Dietrich and I’ll let you walk away.

Really wanted to fuck him. Maybe in the next game.

Should I play PoE for this?

Dragonfall is good.

Dietrich is a fag.

ME3 kind of tarnished ME2 retroactively, it's hard for me to look back on it positively when I know that none of those characters or ideas went anywhere. I did really like Zaeed though.

>real cyberpunk world

I wish only the worst for you in life

Dietrich is an extremely well written example of someone who grew up as a total punk and eventually got wizened and mature. He still retains some habits but is self aware of most of them.

Did somebody say...MURDER?

Attached: 2350.jpg (1197x756, 153K)

he kills random guards without mercy but still probably the type who's like "drumpf is evil and a nazi"

fuck dietrich

Dietrich is absolutely awesome.
I fucking WISH more games had characters written with half the effort and deth and Dietrich had.
Maybe you're too young to understand the appeal.
One day you'll grow up and get it.

You need to be 18 to post here.

>getting triggered by a fictional character's political leanings
lmao

Fuck him. He's just your typical antifa douche that somehow managed to survive into his middle years. The only reason I didn't substitute him with a mercenary was because his skills were useful. I hated him as a character, so I suppose he was well written if that was the desired effect.

Attached: 1552601660961.jpg (837x767, 120K)

Take a second look at his list and ask yourself why did you expect a kid to understand characters like Dietrich.

Attached: antifa.jpg (960x639, 93K)

Not the same user but while Dietrich is ok, his mission is the worst in the game.
The whole point was that people (His nephew or something in this case) can end up associating with less than reputable individuals when they have no other options.
It's a great point to make in Shadowrun where 90% of the characters you come across are doing exactly that.
Yet when you actually do the mission, you kill everyone anyways and pretty much every party members thinks they did something good by killing the not-nazis.
It's retarded, if anything you just justified their entire worldview.

why so triggered by fictional characters, cleetus?

I want to really take in who this racter guy is and go over his dialogue except i can't even find it with Google searches. The wiki isn't pulling anything up. Is there a video any of you could suggest?

Fuck Ignus. I used him for exp and spells like the little bitch he is, forgot about him until end game where I Iced his ass.

Ku Feng is hot

Good riddance, shame you cant get him off until you also kill rat waifu

>shame you cant get him off until you also kill rat waifu
Huh? I never killed Gobbet and told Duncan to go fuck himself

Deal with Yama king.

I enjoyed the PoE games a lot. Durance is one of the highlights of the first one, yeah.

because the founder worked his entire life on the battlemech? series, once they had a ton of money he decided to relive his childhood fantasy dream of making a mech game from the ground up.

mech-autists rank as one of the lowest forms of life.

America-san!

The extra campaign was a whole load of bullshit. You should've had the option of convincing him to come with you by mentioning all his good to be a gangsta moments.

Why are you so triggered by my dislike of your husbando?

It's been quite a while since I played HK but as I recall Racter is just 100% amoral and he seems to revel in violence. He comes across as a very creepy dude that you wouldn't want to turn your back on, but he's also very useful.

Why would you want him to come with you?

Source? It seems interesting

Drakengard

That nifty cyberarm I had him install, his cover shredding AR, and his security expertise.

Also, his broness.

>Also, his broness.
What broness? Duncan is an ass

>broness
He's the walking definition of bark but no bite

Microsoft owns the FASA IPs. They licensed Shadowrun from Microsoft and their time was up. They also licensed Battletech from Microsoft which is why they're milking the hell out of it before they lose it as well.

Willingness to stand up to you if you go against his beliefs, willingness to concede when you bring up a good point (like telling him to stop relying on other people to guide him), the lines he has when he's actually enjoying his life as a runner, the fucking laser rifle, and the Chrome Dome's interrogation.

>Willingness to stand up to you if you go against his beliefs
That's a nice way of putting "bitches at you constantly for every little fucking thing you do"

He's scared of being ditched by mc. Acts like he knows the better but stays the bottom bitch until the end

That's an entirely different thing but he does that, yes. What are your usual actions that provoke a reaction?

Being a competent runner

>killing the maniacs about to genocide the entire meta human population of Berlin in a chemical attack is somehow bad
Cope?

Thank you

You kill them because they give you no other choice, retard.

Dietrich is god-tier

Attached: 20190707224627_1.jpg (2560x1440, 360K)

Dietrich seems like a guy who would unironically show up at site 51 raid

who else unironically prefered dragonfall to hong kong?

Isn't dragonfall considered superior to HK?

Yes. HK suffered from too much dialog because the editor was the wife of the writer and the bitch didn't reign him in.

Dragonfall didn't let me go full cybernetic punch god, so I don't like it as much

So can being a Psycopath surpress essence loss?

It's even worse because Dragonfall basically trained you to talk to everyone because they might eventually give you a job to do. This happens exactly once in HK.

Racter believes it to be so.

Maybe. Or maybe Racter simply deluded himself into believing so just to not go completely insane - on top of being a psychopath, that is.

Based, Zaeed was great. If ME2 wasn't made by hacks and had more unique situations for squadmates, I would've wanted Zaeed to commit more atrocities and force you to seriously reconsider having him on the team if you care about that sort of thing. Almost burning down a whole factory filled with people just to satisfy his revenge boner wasn't enough.

Dietrich really is a good lad. The kind of guy I'd love to ear tell stories of fash and corpo bashing, while downing some good schnapps.
