Hum. I hear x3 crashed and burn so 0 there; skyrim will probably take 80; borderlands 120 and king buonty - hum you should have gone with the crossroad version - will take 30; maybe 45 if yuo play on impossible for 0 losses.
Nope. I assume people will be making awesome mods eventually.
I just started with a simple street samurai. Was unhappy to see even though you are supposedly an experienced runner, you have no cyberware and only a basic pistol.
Also, when you finally do get access to cyberware it seems to cost a lot of essence. Much more than I recall from the books. You cant implant as much cool stuff.
BUt those are just nitpicks. Overall the game is solid and playable.
Much like the tabletop game its difficult to have multiple specialties cuz of how skills work.
So far I have not decked, and the only spells came from the buddy who had them. Havent used any magic or drones.
It does cost more essence, but since essence is basically useless it doesn't matter.
