Any reason to play this if you have Dragon Fall?

[Pat Splat]

Isn't Dragonfall the same game with more content? Or is it the sequel to Returns? Totally new, which should I start with?

Dragonfall is a completely seperate story from Dead Mans Switch (the campaign in Returns). It was originally DLC for Returns, but was turned into a stand alone game with a few upgrades.

If you have Dragonfall DC (stand alone game) and the DLC version for Returns, there is no reason to play the DLC version. Dead Mans Switch is still well worth playing.

As the 3 games (including Hong Kong) are not connected, you can start with either one. Dragonfall DC is generally considered the best, but all 3 are good.

Well when I start Returns and Dragonfall, both games appear to be the same? Still confused.

When you click new game, the game should ask you to pick a campaign.

In Returns you should be able to choose Dead Mans Switch and maybe Dragonfall if you have the DLC. In Dragonfall stand alone, you should only see the Dragonfall option.

It's easy to tell the campaigns apart. DMS takes place in Seattle while DF takes place in Berlin.

Since your profile is private I can't see which one you have, but if you post a screenshot of the screen after pressing "new game" it should be pretty easy. The main menu in Returns should have some dude with a mohawk and a gasmask, while Dragonfall DC has a white background with different characters on it.

Thanks for the clarification, is it best to start with Dead Mans Switch or does it not matter?

It doesn't matter.

That being said, Dragonfall is both much more polished and does more of an effort to tutorialize.

Might be rather painful trying to go 'back' like that, but that's one of those personal milage things.

I am SO glad you guys hashed this out for me. This is my first purchase on Steam and I was sure I messed it up. Been waiting for more Shadowrun since '93 SNES!

[Lady_Galadhiel]

There many reasons to play Return ( characters like Jake,Coyote etc u dont get in Dragonfall)

I thought DEad Man's Switch was fun and also a great tutorial for getting into the system and the style of gameplay. Dragonfall Director's Cut is a major step up but I personally wouldn't skip Dead Man's ...
