    I’m like 2 hours into Shadowrun: Hong Kong. I can’t make heads or tails on it being good or not quite yet. It seems to have more Role playing elements out of the gate than Dragonfall, but I’m not liking the characters as much so far. Every character seems to be written as a wannabe tough guy thus far.

      I remember liking it. (That might be because of the better engine.) Don’t forget to check out the mods for Dragonfall and Hong Kong — somebody has ported the first game into Hong Kong’s engine, the Antumbra saga is cool as well.

        I’m not sure I that I want to replay the first’s campaign again, but it would be nice to see what campaigns other people have come up with. I remember someone on here was running a tabletop campaign awhile back, but I don’t know if it’s still going.

      “Every character seems to be written as a wannabe tough guy thus far.”

      Okay, so the game has that problem so far. Gotcha.
