Klytus, I'm bored
Will ruin the atmosphere. Already irritates me that they included clothing with magical boni out of thin air. I actually like that SRR is not about getting the uber loot. Your character should be deadly in his or her own merit, not because you god UBARR00XXOR cannon XTZ101. -.-
In a cyberpunk game you should absolutely have characters that are deadly because they have a UBARR00XXOR cannon, or a DOOMHAMMER XT MURDERKILL cyberarm or whatever.
They should be able to use it, of course, but it fits the setting.
But not if it's the ONLY one in the game and makes you a demi god compared to all others. SR should try to stay relatively fair and not make you into a demi god who walks into the room and blasts away the opposition in 2-4 rounds like it's the case with most cRPGs.
Have you met our Lord and Saviour Adrenal Pumped,Hasted, Jazz drugged street samurai with rifle? Pretty possible to do aleady.. Though that status is achieved by giving away too much XP - rifles and drugs (and gasoline) have one thing in common. They're cheap. And abundant.
But hey , it's shadowrun - as far as I am concerned those games were always about alpha strike. Either you do or you're done.
