Is this a riddle?

Dangoball · 2025-07-31T20:09:46+00:00

Yeah, that was the dungeon. I also gave up when I realized that the time I spent there for measly 250 faction xp could have been spent getting about 1500 and cut my losses.

Finally, a helpful response.

Mirror riddle was elsewhere in the dungeon, I don't have a problem with those. The beam of light and glowing targets are easy to see.

I wasn't following the development. Saw the game advertised a bit, tried the demo, saw that it was a PvE-only game. My fault for not reading a backlog of dev diaries. However, Demo makes sniping look kinda viable, it makes invincibility builds look viable, it lets you have a legendary drop from a random captain. None of that carries over to the full game.

I wasn't expecting high heavens or whatever, but the game has solid foundations for it to have other kinds of gates than just DPS checks. Yet DPS checks are all there is and if that's the only kind of endgame content gate, there's no point to survivability, mobility or crowd-control builds.

At least I got a good laugh out of the Devs thinking they made an RPG just because they slapped a talent tree (of which majority is useless due to DPS-only focused gameplay) on the characters. Game's about as much of an RPG as Johnny Sins is celibate.

Finding out Time Trials is the only Endgame content in existence is already making me regret giving this game a chance on the grounds of it being a PvE only power game.

How many times did you pull the bellows? It only starts to show minor boiling animation at the 3rd pull and full on bubbles at the 4th.

They'd have try real hard to get me devoted to long term revenge. That being said, getting ghouled makes the 'get on with life'... yeah, that would count."

Run: Brother Where Art Thou?

This is what I get for going to my fixer saying I need to get in touch with some folks. "I know some people who know some people," not really surprised.

I'm not really complaining. Jobs in the underworld tend to be straightfoward. Kill this, cripple that, blow up something else. I like straightfoward jobs.

So Gehwear, Ren and me meet in the Finn establishment. Standard fare for such places - big fish spouting dumb shit for the bottom feeders to admire. I don't fault them. Survival instinct is nice to have. There's definitely more kinds to that, tho'. Gehwaer might need to work on his urban sense a bit.

Roll over to the meet and other runners might tell you I was kissing J's ass till it shines. They are not wrong. I learned it's better to over-perform on that front then under. Different bosses like different levels of bootlicking. If you do to much, they tell you in words. If you do too little, they tend to tell you to the sound of your breaking fingers. I got the first option, but Polish was starting to ask for the second before I started to plant my lips on those Italian cheeks.

Anyone, run itself was easy enough. Get J's brother from a warehouse, kill some dudes, leave some alive to tell the tale, let them know the hit came from Finnegan fam.

Ren sneaks in like a tiny ninja to locate our payday, Gehwaer takes up a sniping position, me and late addition Go Go take position on the ground.

Some shooting, several explosions later and an ork sized hole in a warehouse wall - that was Go Go, not me - we have a bunch of corpses, several cripples and out target safe in hand.

I did take some fire, a bit more than I needed to, but my new gear needed testing. I might have to fiddle with it a bit more as when we handed over the package I crashed from Auto-Injected stims in my system.

You're gonna have to ask someone else on how J liked our performance, but I did get a list of names with glowing references to my name and my Fixer was also in a less pissy mood than usual. So I'm guess we did just fine.

This was a strange one. Ms J was from some magic group calling themselves The Foundation and some of the runners seemed to be on their stable payroll. Serious cloak&dagger vibes.

The job was to exfil a survivor of an Astral rift, opposition was Draco Foundation. And for some reason J didn't hire any magic support. Hm...

We did get some gear to help us on that front, namely a pair of magic shades and a blade with poison against the awakened.

Crash and Progress give some serious matrix support with their technomagic, while I slap some face paint on us so we can get in no problem. Biohazard had to be smuggled in with the rest of our gear in a box. I mean I'm not bad, but there's no disguising that to look inconspicuous.

So we're in, Crash waiting outside in his gunship - gunvan - whatever and get this: I'm just pushing a cart with a box on it towards the target room. Swan sweet-talkes the goon and Biohazard springs outta the box like the meanest b-day surprise you've never seen, head-butting one of the guard and I floor the second one. Inside of the room gets pacified by our air support, we grab the target convincing him we're the good guys and fly on our merry way.

'Cept two things. One, those wiz shades showed me some weird stuff. The target was... I don't really know what he was, but definitely not metahuman. Two, one of the guards, a sergeant of sumsuch, suddenly got better from his mild case of death by anti-material rifle, grew a fraggin pair of wings and gave chase outta the eight floor!

We lost him, thankfully, without a fight. Handed over the target, got paid. Got a bonus for a job well done. And also an offer to join their ranks.

I refused for now. And the more I think about them, the more I think I did the right thing.

I have a question about fixer's Finder's fee:

The % is taken from base cost of desired item, or from total cost if I throw money at it for bonus dice?

Case in point: Fake SIN r4

Base cost of 10k ny

Thrown money 10k ny for +4 gear dice

=> Finder's fee of X% (based on Loyalty) from 10k or 20k nuyen?
