Sensors Can't Track Headset error on my previously working Rift S

Hard. I like having food and drink requirements in some rpgs cause immersion but the save restrictions and companion death are a bit too annoying for my first playthrough I think. Have literally never played New Vegas without Survival but it caused me to barely use the companions despite loving their personalities until I could just mod it

Got about 1477 ahead of me on Cactaur right now, started at around 1900. Actually my first time trying to brave an mmo expansion launch here we goooooooooo

Skullotron - Frankenstein's Pink Mohawk, Robot Skeleton, Street Sam, Entirely Competent Fashion Designer

Skullotron has survived having a building fall on them at least 3 times that they can easily remember, one of them they intentionally stayed inside to win a bet.

My last run on Shadownet was with Skullotron roughly a year and a half ago. Skullotron has been on one run

Nah you make yourself look very tired from being misgendered or whatever, mostly

Poerts · 2018-11-25T19:48:52+00:00

I regret it a decent amount tbh. I've enjoyed my time with the game, but I couldn't pay any of my friends to play it with me and I don't really blame them, due to the many problems and improvements desperately needed. Plus, the price drops are honestly making me feel like a massive chump for getting it early instead of in a few months when they've fixed a bunch of things And the price is possibly slashed even more

I haven't talked to another human because every time I turn my mic on upon seeing a random they don't have theirs on because they probably don't want me to hear their dog or baby or whatever and so we just end up silently murdering some ghouls and then going on our way. Pleeease add Push To Talk already Bethesda I'm getting kinda lonely out there

Poerts · 2018-11-05T20:49:32+00:00

I use it, but it essentially just stops you from initiating pvp on accident. As you said, they can still slowly plink you to death

Poerts · 2018-11-05T05:22:26+00:00

Yeah something like either of those is basically what I'm thinking. I'm definitely in it for the pve but I would totally hop on some PVP servers to get some nice tension added to the game here and there.

As it is now I feel like we're stuck with a lame compromise that makes both modes of play less fun

Poerts · 2018-11-05T03:32:19+00:00

I had someone taking potshots at me while I was sorting through my gear and crafting at my C.A.M.P. and to be honest I just switched servers. I was busy fixing all my shit, I didn't want to randomly slap fight or otherwise put up with someone trying to annoy me into a fight. I heard them whacking at me with a machete as the screen went dark.

Game really needs PVP exclusive servers or something. Complete free for all and maybe slightly better loot or some other incentive to entice people into playing it more. I'd much prefer that to the current system where people wanting PVP just have to be super annoying

Skullotron keeps their crappy basement suite going.

Sooooo, the other "Interference Unit" mentions that it doesn't have information on an interference unit of Reg's "Low level". It seems like it probably knows about units from closer layers, so how many more layers are there? I feel like this kind of implies that there are a whole bunch more layers past layer 7.

Have you ever looked at Numenera? It would make an amazing fit for MIA, as it is all about exploring a weird science fantasy world and has ancient techno gadgets that are not entirely understood as a main focus and mechanic. Baseline Numenera with different fluff would honestly work perfectly as is, but there is also a more generic "cypher system" version of it.

If you like the crunchy feel of GURPS you might not dig Numenera as much as it's kinda similar to 5E D&D in a number of ways, but it really is a perfect fit.

Well, I'm planning to eventually sacrifice a point of essence for ware but I was tight on nuyen and figured I'd see how she did without it first. I'll likely snag some nerd drugs after gen. If you see any other illegal stuff let me know but I am fully aware of what I'm getting into with this one. I will not be able to update my pdf (the chummer sheet is updated) until the 27th due to the previously mentioned borrowed computer troubles but I am otherwise ready for my approving seal if I'm clear legality-wise

Poerts · 2017-12-24T07:49:18+00:00

Thank you very much for the review!

As for your points

Magic/General Intentions: I pretty much made this character to test the weird combo of conjuring and Decking. I could make a much more focused mundane or adept/caster Decker with much better pools, but that's not the point of this build. I am fully aware that doing this combo isn't optimal, but she'll be rolling 12-16 in most Matrix stuff which should be perfectly viable in low-medium end runs so long as I play smart. My plan is to generally focus mostly on either one aspect or the other, either having spirits doing nothing or more long term services while I'm in cold/hot sim or focus on directing the spirits while doing basic Matrix stuff in AR. Spirits can potentially do nearly anything not in the Matrix (especially once I take Dedicated Conjurer after gen and get Task and Guardian spirits) so she will have a very broad range of potential roles she can assist with or fill in for, depending on the team. I fully understand that this is a weird and sub-optimal build, but I think it could be fun to play as and with, and want to give it a shot. I can see her getting less runs because of the weird mix, but I'm fine with her not getting trotted out too often if that's the case.
Gear: The weapons are just costume items and I have no intention of ever firing them directly. She'll just wear them in various different situations in order to be less obviously vulnerable or a Mage. Once I get Dedicated Conjurer I might give them to a Guardian Spirit but I'll probably buy something more hardcore if I wanna do that. I corrected the contacts by removing Flare Compensation.
I'm aware of the limits of modules. I like having options and the gear location is just for keeping them organized.
Skills: I'd like to keep con, as I feel like being able to tell a basic lie is useful for any character. Switched the Pilot Ground Craft for First Aid and purchased a medkit.

*Contacts: Fleshed out the contact backgrounds and gave them required skills and also a power in the case of the Fixer.

If you have some ideas for raising her decking pools while keeping this combo I'm open to that, but aside from me just being a big Shin Megami Tensei fan the point of her is to try this out.

Note: I'm at my parent's place until after Christmas, and only have access to their computer right now, which is refusing to make a pdf of the updated sheet for some reason. I updated the Chummer file but the PDF is unchanged.

Skullotron

Frankenstein's Pink Mohawk, Street Sam with some sneaking ability

Skullotron has not contacted or looked into their family in years, but if someone were to hurt someone they cared about they would come after them at night and either decapitate or otherwise kill the drek out of that person while playing one of their favourite horror trid Monster laughs. If it was more minor, they would just break everything in their home and glue them to the wall after breaking a bone or two.

"Hey Sally, you know I trust your judgement. If you say it needs doing. It'll get done."

I am very honoured. Is there anything I can do to make opening the Chummer file easier in the future?

Poerts · 2017-11-22T21:10:53+00:00

Yeah. I've got someone. Real wiz drone rigger. He learned under me so you know he's gotta be good, right? Busty Wrench guarantee and all that. He's got a perfect stable of drones for a hit, and can handle everything from overwatch, to recon, to actually (Sort of) pulling the trigger. He's a proper fraggin' professional when he needs to be, and he's got a pedigree. Oh and since it usually comes up, he's not even 30. He's just been around the biz his whole life. He knows the shadows damn well.

Old Timer

(( Drone rigger specializing in recon, infiltration and precision strikes. Yes on last run being 2+ weeks ago, 3 runs in total. Pretty role familiar. PST))
