I'm thinking of picking up a copy of Shadowrun Returns to play through this weekend. What do you guys and gals think of it? Worth getting Dragon fall DLC too?

Will almost certainly break saves.
You can remove the "almost". Beta saves will not carry to release build.

Dragonfall is a much better campaign than Dead Man's Switch from top to bottom. Better combat, better quests, better party members, etc. The first campaign is good but the DLC is practically a sequel that improves upon the original significantly. All in all I really enjoyed both but yea, def pick up Dragonfall.
As said above, Dragonfall is much better than the OC. Calling it "DLC" doesn't do it justice really.
Do I need to play through the main game first, or can I just install it and skip straight to Dragonfall? Or should I just play both?
I read once that you can brute force your way through most of the OC with just a shotgun?
Hmm, I might give it another try.
No, they are completely independent.

Don't even need a shotgun lol, my Main character was skilled in rifles and I would just use my mage to give my main guy more accuracy and I would just mow down people from afar.
Haha, I want to play Shadowfall. It should be amusing to break the mechanics.

Pretty sure they nerfed shotguns post release because of how OP they were.
They did. I have to admit that I actually had some trouble with the final level of the OC.
This game seems great. I already bought it yesterday thanks to this thread. I only played ot for a little bit but I think I'm going to wait till it's out so I don't lose saves.
I have a question about the magic. Is it all just damage spells? Are there any utility and fluff spells (things like shrink, summon food, etc)? Can I fish? I'm kind of sick of games where it's all fighting and no fluff that intigrates you more into the world. I'm glad there's at least food thoguh haven't tried it.

I had to set it down to easy for that mess. Not my proudest moment, but those "guys" were real assholes. Dragonfall felt a lot smoother in difficulty to me.
Beta saves and retail v. saves aren't compatible. Anything you do til release will be wiped when the game comes out. You can wait until release, or play around with the different classes and skills, mark down where some useful stuff to steal is right off the bat... That's what I got up to anyway.

Still waiting for this editor to show up in tools...
Playing on hard, I got absolutely hammered during the MKVI mission last night and just barely made it back alive. Aside from that spike Dragonfall's difficulty has been just about right.
Of course there are utility spells, even in the character creator you can choose spells that aren't in damaging nature, like Buffs / Debuffs or that change the environment, e.g. to make it Rain and extinguish Fire and set a puddle of water on the ground, so you can electrocute it or an Oil Surface where enemies (and allies alike) will slip, which you can later set on fire. I dunno if Shrink or anything like that is in it tho. I'm sure there will be non-combat spells in it. At least I can assure you, that you can make use of some of the combat spells in a non-combat setting to help with quests and find optional stuff.
Seeing you can craft a Fishing Rod, it's probably in. Not sure tho.
Debating between a knight/rogue or rogue/mage starter.
Install Cheat Engine, disable GFWL check, done.

You guys are making me so hot right now. *slowly slides down pants*

Oh god, that looks sooooo long written as a number. Let me try it in a different way:

nope, not working. Still reads as agonizing. T__T. I have tuesday off, my body isn't just "ready", it's "overdue" for this game.
I hoped the level editor would help dealing with the wait.... to the current result of waiting for Valve to press the magic button.

Did you miss the sale?
Man, I stopped playing this last night before the save wipe, and I'm missing it already.
Going on a bit of a turn based binge in preparation. Just bought Enemy Within for some pure combat turn based gameplay, and downloading Shadowrun+Dragonfall for the rpg elements too.
I obviously won't finish them in time, but I think I might have found my new favourite genre, so a backlog is good news!

It was one of the first day sales.
Now you can get it on tf2outpost for 10-11 key so not even 20 / 27$.
Healers house, do the small quest about choosing who to save with the healer's apprentice.
This is one way:
The other way I've found is to do the quest about the murder in Cyseal,
when you get to the scene of the murder you'll be teleported to Zixzax.
Yeah, I tried it and I forgot the 15 days delay for the market when you make a new Steam acount, like a noob... Yes, I just created my first Steam account, if I knew I will have let my buddy handle it since he is Steam usuer for years now. Either I wait, or I buy a Steam game and sell to get back my 25 euros from my Steam Wallet...
*Depressed*
On the most recent livestream, did Swen comment on whether the rest of the companions would be in on release day? I think I saw that Larian were confident that (a handful, if not all) Source Hunter personalities would be in the release version but I haven't seen any further word on the companions. As of the livestream a week ago, Swen wasn't confident they'd make it.

Played around with a Fighter & Mage team last night and spec'd in the pet talk ability. Can anyone in your party talk to animals as long as you have 1 point in the skill? Or do I have to switch to the specific character with the skill?
Only the character with Pet Pal can talk to them.
Seems like some companions might be patched later.

Eh, I'm not entirely one-sided on this but I feel in a lot of cases live portraits can look really bad. It's a lot harder to ruin 2D character portraits. I suppose the one major draw-back of 2D portraits is keeping your portrait and character in-sync if the game allow for a lot of character appearance customization.

Well, I would normally agree with you, but let's face it, it's not like those 2D portraits are exactly stellar anyway.
