As some jazz musician once said. “You can either make good music or you can make music that will make money… They are two very different things…” Or something like that.

it seems the same may apply to video games

This game could easily be disconnected from the Shadowrun licence and stand on its own merit. Someone should buy the engine and the dev team behind it, update it and release under a different name, God if I only had the money…..

We heard rumors of DLC that was in the works at FASA before the break up. However, it was incomplete. Now that FASA is gone and since the game is doing poorly, Microsoft isn’t going to invest any more money into this game. You won’t see any DLC for this game.

in terms of weapons , they can add a longbow or crossbow. long reload ( like rocket launcher )time and little ammo but inflicts mortal wounds or alot of damage. it oculd have a curve so hitting targets would be challenging. a new breed of sniper!…
or….
What about a grenade launcher? less damage then a rocket , more affordable and have a curve as well for challenging aim…

as for tech , i think it would be cool to “summon” or create a turret
that Notifies you when an enemy is spotted and fires the minigun ammo with decent accuracy and shorter clips. it will also have less health then that of a minion.

It would also be cool to make remote detonate bombs or perhaps a time bomb that does massive splash damage and must be planted taking 5 or more seconds.

maybe a tripwire mine? or possibly

A grappling hook , you can aim at a wall or ledge and then zip over to it , that would be fuckin sweet yet pointless. unless!
the line will stay there until its is accurate shot at , allowing others to “zip” down the line merely by walking or jumping onto it and pressing X

for magic , perhaps the ability to summon a Dragon or something really big. it would take up 8 bars of magic so only elves or dwarves could summon them. Twice the life of a minion , similar speed , and it can do things like Slash enemies , and shoot fireballs which are very similar to impact as a rockets. It would really turn a battle chaotic and add alot more depth to all the crap going on.

another cool idea i think would be the ability to drain life. It creates a ring of aura around the player , when within reach to another player it slowly ( like dwarves with essence but a little faster ) drains life. However this would need some attention to detail. could be useful for healing purposes , like borrowing life from friendly elves..

finally , what they could just do is add LEVELS of what has been done. example. after purchasing summon , you can add another 500 to make the monster level 2 . stronger , more health. 1000 dollars more gets you level 3. the minion can simply just change color , slight change in appearance , and get all around better stats or some other improvement.

people can specialize in certain skills.

an advanced tree that lasts longer or has a larger area to heal.
level 3 enhanced vision sees farther and smoked enemies.
Level 3 gust creates a powerful whirlwind 3 times the force of gust.
wired reflexes takes less damage with each level.
level 3 glider takes you up farther…etc…
and level 3 rez makes the area of effect larger and can also take 1 less pip of essence per , or maybe even allow you to rez your master or something…so many things people!!!!!

Also how about some offensive magic like mana bolt? Or a healing spell besides this tree stuff.

All they have to do is open up the RPG book to get Tons of Ideas for DLC.

The update will have to adress that. One thing most don’t think about is the possibility of new weapons.
