My friend and I were entertaining the idea of a new rigger variant today. We thought it would be interesting if I included him in the next run for my group (as this friend does not play in that game). The idea was for a rigger who has zero cyberware, basically does his rigging in a similar manner to how Otaku connect to the Matrix. A man with a supernatural/magical connection to his machine.
Both of us are pretty excited about using this guy, assuming it can be done without shattering the gameplay (as he will be an enemy). So, in the persuit of keeping things fair (albeit un-canon and pretty crazy in concept), we started listing the obstacles and hindrances that we would need to create for this type of rigger to exist. Without tainting the waters with our thoughts, it would be cool to hear the DS community's thoughts on creating this. Mainly, what drawbacks should compliment the ability to not need cyberware to control one's vehicle? Since age wouldn't be an issue as it is with Otaku, what would be a viable disadvantage to this method of rigging? It might be that this is just a stupid pipe dream, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks. |
