The Wageslave

Description
Being a wageslave wasn't for you. The world has gone all to drek and you'd rather be free than controlled. Working for ♥♥♥♥♥ was crushing your soul. The megacorps suck the life out of people. Becoming a shadowrunner was your only way out. Freddie, your friend in ♥♥♥♥♥'s corporate security, was able to get you out. Now it's time for life in the cracks of society. It's a good thing that you learned some skills at ♥♥♥♥♥.

Able to complete 90% of the module in 2021. Matrix runs have a scripting error where no enemies attack after the first gate. Dating is more karma efficient than completing missions and seems to have only one NPC attached to the system - a rich elf woman who works as the receptionist to your hotel residence. Maps have very long load times and a lot of wasted space. The final mission can't be run - trying to enter the map gets you stuck in an infinite conversation loop. Additionally, it's filled with what some would call grammar errors, but they are so consistent that it has its own internal linguistic logic, which technically makes it an idiosyncratic writing style and not errors. Generally fun with some good ideas, but the ideas generally also lack follow-through. A buffet module.

Peculiar quirk of the intro scene/level. I got my character "killed" and ended with an NPC with a comment block over her head as the player... I'd advise trying to fix that or giving one or more of the strike team a doc wagon basic trauma kit to allow you to get out of it at least once.

It's a little unclear what's supposed to happen initially and which direction you're supposed to go. Going by the logic of the main SR campaign (the ones that comes with the game), would lead you to (as I did) head in the direction of the enemy (the notion of having to fight your way out). I assume you are supposed to be in/take charge of the runner team? If not, there'd be no point to the scene.

It appears that the dependency named above is mispelled. Instead of "Resuable..." it should be "Reusable...". That's important because searching for it without the necessary correction obviously turns up nothing and it doesn't seem to get it by itself when you subscribe to this. Game appears to hang/do nothing without the dependency.

Yeah, I can't do much right now due to bugs and stuff as the rest had said. Will wait until you correct this then.

I've been very busy and need to get back in the swing of things.

Currently extraordinarily buggy. In the third mission (the 3-floor corporate building) I had all of the following happen:

1) Attack of the Clones! all of my party members were doubled

2) Everybody is a spooky ghost! Walls did not block movement or line of sight

3) Screw the medkit, take the whole shelf! Picking up items on shelves remove the shelf object from the map

4) We were never really on your side anyway! During the second floor combat, the guards shot the scientists dead.

5) We don't want no trouble mister! Third floor combat didn't trigger, resulting in an awkward staring contest with the guards I couldn't shoot

6) I'm tripping balls and have no idea how I got here! Naked black man standing in the middle of the third floor

7) What were we here to do again? I couldn't pick up the simsense chip off the shelf.

It was at that point I decided to remove this UGC.

Loving it so far but can't enter Hotspot or the Shark Tank - I click the entrance icon but nothing happens. Is this a bug or are these areas not finished yet?
