The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire...
Oh cool, the game is on autopilot now. Time to sit back and enjoy the show!
They probably just didn't want people waiting around for 20 seconds to get fried in the building. Either that, or they didn't want to have to make it into a Dragon Ball Z style 20 seconds that actually lasts for around 30 episodes.
Interesting point of note... No matter what Shadowrunners make it to the roof with you, only yourself and Kitsune will survive the shootout with the mage and troll deckers.
So much for Steelflight and Akimi being awesome badasses, eh?
Though really, shouldn't these rooftop geniuses have just escaped and left me and Kitsune to die a fiery death anyway, rather than needing to try and shoot us to death first? Idiot bad guys, as usual.
RUN! GET TO THE CHOPPER!
Fantastic work. We've managed to take to the skies just before the Aneki building no longer is part of the Seattle skyline. Thanks to us, the 2050 interwebs have been saved!
Glory and approbation to this floating dog spirit thing, whatever in the hell it is.
Live long whelp, and prosper.
I'm just trying to figure out if Sassie was actually ever my girlfriend, or if she was always a giant man eating octopus?
It is very interesting to see what the boss characters have to say in this ending sequence. I find Vladimir's lines to be the funniest, as he's running around trying to fang hug you.
Fantastic, we found the direct descendants of Sargent Schultz. "I KNOW NOTHING!"
Followed by the "WE WERE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS!" defense.
Poor Drake is also a terrible liar, because (sadly) a Shadowrun II was never made. But it should have been!
They actually go through all of the Shadowrunners in the game 1 by 1 at this point, which is pretty cool. However, they included that toadie Spatter (did I mention that he will turncoat on you somewhere around Floor 4 of Drake Towers? He's a real Benedict Arnold.) as well.
Yeah, I remember what happened. You lied to a (guy impersonating a) Lone Star agent and said you were too busy to help him out, and never bothered to report the fact that you thought a zombie rose from the dead from his slab in your morgue and went out to walk the streets of Seattle at large.
Real stand up citizens, these two. They are destined for great things in life...
No, I insist, thank you for giving me a game that took several years of off and on playing in my childhood to conquer. Though it at least was not as rage inducing as Eye of the Beholder (which took even more time for me to master). A nice Maniac Mansion style set of puzzles, only with guns and magic on top of it. If only the pixel hunting weren't so inane, and you could get a better background of the characters and big players in-game without having to know much about the P&P Shadowrun game.
Congratulations, Jake Armitage. You impersonated a cop, killed an entire gang, became a powerful magic user and a heavily armored and weaponed homicidal maniac that slayed a dragon (worthy of a power metal song, at least), beat a Jester Spirit, repeatedly staked a vampire, murdered an octopus that for some reason looked a lot like your ex-girlfriend, slayed hordes of the undead, and finally you blew up the AI Computer at Aneki HQ -- only to then made a clean getaway in a helicopter with a fox girl. You definitely deserve a break. And you've now got enough leftover nuyen to do just that!
