Dead man's switch question

[p6kocka]

Should I play the original Shadowrun Return story and after finishing it the Dead man's switch story? Is this something else? A new story? Because the Dead man's switch´s story beginns just like the original one. What is Ddead man's switch actuelly pls?

[Bahadur KGWP]

games are each stand alone, you can play them in any order. I played in order of release date

[p6kocka]

So the dead man's switch is simply another story in the same environment?

[fauxpas]

Deadman's Switch IS the name of the original story, Shadowrun Returns was originally meant to operate like Neverwinter Nights.


Now, with that said, if you have Hong Kong you should play the semiofficial port of Deadman's Switch as it's better than the original in every way.

[p6kocka]

So. Shadowrun Returns = Deadman's Switch?
Yes, I have Hong Kong. Does this mean I should play its version of Deadman's Switch and completely forget Shadowrun Returns?

[fauxpas]

I would unless you want to play some of the Returns only ugcs.


I would of course, play Dragonfall.

I have all three Shadowrun versions:
Returns, Dragonfall, Hong Kong
How would you start to play it ? Should I start with Return, then Dragonfall and finally Hong Kong?
i couldn´t find Deadman's Switch under Content in Hong Kong version of the game

[rentier7419]

all three stories are starting with a fresh char and are not connected storywise

the UI is getting better from returns over dragonfall to hongkong (original gammes wise)...

[fauxpas]

Dragonfall / Hong Kong (Deadman's Switch) / Hong Kong

[p6kocka]

Last two questions:
1. So I shouldn't play the first Shadowrun Returns?
2. Should I install this for playing Dead's man switch?

Yes, play the Hong Kong version, it's better in every possible way.

1) SR Returns is Dead Man Switch
2) and that is the UGC for a port from Dead Man Switch to better UI of Hongkong

Great. Thank you all. Got it. Finally... 😊

It's more than just a port, it ties up loose storyends and adds some quality content as well.
