Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut Guide

Char customizing for Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut

Char customizing

Overview

Char creation in Dragonfall. A comparison between the standard archetypes and my choice.

Introduction

Dragonfall has been a great DLC for Shadowrun Returns.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut is a standalone release and the owners of the DLC get it for free.

The Director’s Cut adds new content and enhancements to the original game: 5 new missions, more alternate endings, new music, a redesigned interface, team customization options, a revamped combat system and more.
Because of all these improvements to the game, you can’t import characters and save files from the original DLC.

Char customizing

I like to customize my char because I want a Assault Rifle Decker.
I think strength is wasted in the standard Decker skilling.
You can make your own skilling or choose one of the 6 prefabricated standard skillings (archetypes):

  • Decker
  • Street Samurai
  • Rigger
  • Physical Adept
  • Shaman
  • Mage

In the table you see my skilling compared with the standard skillings (all with human race).

Some effects can be equalizing: An elf Decker and a human Decker with 3 charisma have the same stats and the same remaining karma.
In dialogues you can have additional options depending on your race.

For my skilling you can choose an elf, a dwarf, an ork or a human.
I’ve choosen an elf.
