I had a quick question.
I heard from a few friends who play SR3, that SR4 isn't any good. A few of the problems they said to me was that there is no room for improvement, and that a character straight out of chargen is extremely overpowered. I was also told that the rules for Deckers ("hackers" in sr4) are not even any good and hard to use. I just wanna hear from some of you players how it is, and how you felt making the switch. Also, which books are a must? I know I need SR3, Augmentation, Arsenal, but is there a sourcebook for deckers/hackers and magic? Thanks! |
