So if you have already been fortunate enough to play Dragonfall, you may be wondering if this is worth playing again. I can quickly and confidently reply: YES, CHUMMER. I beat Dragonfall about a month and half before Director's Cut released. Other than Earthbound or some Elder Scrolls games, I have never replayed an RPG all the way through again. That won't be an issue here.

The devs have added some pretty awesome new missions that serve to flesh out Berlin even more. New characters have been added and now you may learn more about your party members past. Speaking of your fellow Runners, they can now pick new abilities and level along with you. (choose between 2 advancements a level) This was something I found to be missing from the original.

There is also the matter of the music. The new music is amazing. The achievements help add more goals to draw you into another play through, but that is just a bonus. There is enough here to bring any fan back. Rare thing for a dev to make a "Director's Cut" with so many improvements and features. Rarer still, one that doesn't charge for existing owners.

New Players: If you are a CRPG fan or Shadowrun fan, please skip the original release until AFTER Dragonfall. Think of that as a treat or really good UGC. This really is one of the best games of the year and turn based rpg fans deserve a great game like this. Great characters, story, and fun.

It is a whole new story set in Berlin. I really liked the first game, but this is 100x better. They did it a disservice by originally calling it DLC. It plays just like Dead Man's Switch, but everything is improved. It is a new game, this version is enhanced with better UI, 5 new missions from the original Dragonfall release and more ending options. Since you liked the first one, I can say with all confidence you will like this one more. Entirely new game, improved features, and an amazing story.:cybereye:

I really want to try the tablet version out. When it comes out let me know what you think of it.

They did add some new cyber/bioware options that are pretty cool, but not that many. They also added some new outfits which are pretty cool too. One new rewards is an outfit that adds +1 to all stats. Dr. Ezebikel and the Lodge quests are two good sources. Thank you for the kind words. I really can't stress how they made a great game even better.

Hey Royal_Tenebaum, thanks for the review. I've been waiting for the iPad version to come out so I can play on the go, but now I think I'll dive into the PC version instead of waiting.

Did you happen to notice anything significant for new cyber/bioware? (They hinted at things like Platlet Factories in some of the previews)
