Is it just me or have spirits stayed the same from SR3 while characters & guns have drastically changed?
The immunity to normal weapons for spirits seems to include elemental effect weapons (like tazers) unless they have an allergy to it. This means that it is IMPOSSIBLE to harm a Force 5 spirit with a panther assault cannon, not to mention the fact that character attributes are almost halved compared to SR3 which means that Charisma/Willpower attacks will be somewhat weaker. Now, I can understand that dragons are supposed to be powerful (stats around 50yish or something) but aren't spirits a wee bit powerful now? It was at least possible to harm a F5 spirit before with a powerful enough handgun or an elemental effect weapon in SR3, but now??? :eek: (I looked for a similar thread but couldn't find any) |
