A whole new campaign!

Shadowrun: Dragonfall, a fully-fledged expansion pack for the recent old-school RPG gem set in the legendary setting where cyberpunk meets fantasy, bringing in a whole new 12 hour-long campaign and many improvements to the gameplay, is available on GOG.com for only $14.99. The basic game, Shadowrun Returns, is available for $14.99 as well. That's 25% off for the base game for the next two weeks.

In 2012, magic returned to our world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Among them was the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge, who emerged without warning from the mountains of Germany unleashing fire, death, and untold destruction across the countryside. It took German forces nearly four months to finally shoot her down - and when they finally did, the event became known as the Dragonfall. It’s 42 years later, and a new threat is rising, one that could mean untold chaos and devastation. One that soon has you and your team caught on the wrong side of a deadly conspiracy. The only clue: whispers of the Dragonfall. Rumors that the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge may still be alive, waiting for the right moment to return…

Shadowrun: Dragonfall, transports runners to the Free City of Berlin, a thrilling Shadowrun setting full of gorgeous new hi-res environments, a diverse new cast of characters, and a new soundtrack by Sam Powell, the composer of the original Sega Genesis Shadowrun game. You'll lead a small team of shadowrunners, each with their own outlook and backstory. The members of your team are designed to play unique roles during missions, and each has a distinct set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Now, you can save your progress at any time during the game. The new save-game functionality is available in new downloads of Shadowrun Returns and through a patch for all existing copies.

If you miss the times when expansions added enough content to the game to more than make up for their price, you need to grab Shadowrun: Dragonfall, for only $14.99 on GOG.com. Don't have the base game yet? No problem! Shadowrun Returns is discounted by 25%, making it available for only $14.99 as well, until Thursday, March 13, at 5:59PM GMT.
Redeemed my key. ;) Guess it's time for me to finally check out Shadowrun Returns then.

Yeah, I know. I had a Steam copy of it since it first released and still didn't get around to playing it since summer. Then I got my GOG copy, and... you know. Heh.
Keep the DLC/expansions/add ons for this game coming!

People complained about it being very linear and lacking content. I can only hope that through adding updates and improvements like this more people can experience it and be happy by the end.

Not sure if I should score this today though, or wait for a sale...hrmmm...:\
... Oh, one more question, how will installation for the expansion work? If I already have the main game installed, do I just drop this into the main folder, similar to user created content, or what?

Did you get a key off of their site through a pre-order, or was it back during Kickstarter where they promised updated content keys for certain pledges?

I'm also curious about this.

I was a KS backer. Every backer got the expansion for free. Had to request my GOG key for the base game by contacting them directly, but I got my Dragonfall key automagically. :)

CharlesGrey: I'm kind of glad this isn't introduced at a discount, since it means there's no hurry to buy it. I still have a few mods for the original game I want to try ( plus any number of other games ). Definitely going to pick this one up, though. Shadowrun Returns had some flaws, but overall I still enjoyed it, and look forward to some more official Shadowrun adventures.

Anyone just getting into Shadowrun Returns: Make sure to check out some of the mods/ fan-made campaigns, once you've played through the official game. Quality varies, but there's some really good ones; and hey, they're free downloads.

So, does anyone know how long the expansion is, compared to the original campaign? About the same size? And are there any major changes, aside from the improved saving system? New classes or skills? Or perhaps even less linear gameplay?

JudasIscariot: According to the latest Kickstarter update, there have been reports of the expansion being around 18 hours long. :)
I'd love to see (dunno know) something like "estimated time to beat'' tab or whatever for some games here on GOG :)

If you already have the GOG version of Shadowrun Returns the first thing you should do is re-download the installer for the base game as it's been updated to version 1.2 and the DLC requires Shadowrun to be at version 1.2 in order to install and run.

Once that's done, just download the DLC installer and run it like normal :)

Would you know if they plan any other expansions, based on what they said during the kickstarter?

Such a rich game world deserves a lot of content.

Thanks Judas for being so informative, and for keeping that smug smile on at all times! You must really love your job!

Your a real trooper!

Now if only I could give YOU games :)

Based from the KS updates and other murmurs it definitely sounds like they're interested in doing more, given this first expansion does well enough for them. That said, as CharlesGrey has pointed out there's already a good bit of user-created content out there, and I figure that number will only grow. I'm definitely going to check that out once I've gone through the base game and official expansion.

Oh I got more games than I know what to do with :D

Thanks for the kind words and may you enjoy your game :)

(and yes, I do love my job...especially when my personal projects come to a positive fruition, generally speaking)

That's because, as you probably know and remember, it was part of the initial funding (a stretch goal) - it got separated and introduced as DLC at a much later time.

JudasIscariot:
So just to clarify, redownload the updated installer, "repair" or overwrite the install (save games probably stay there I'm guessing), and it's ready for the new module?

Also, more RPGs/tacticals on GOG pls? (KOTC, etc)
Have they managed to add a proper save/load game system or has the idea been thrown under the bus?

The base game now has the save anywhere feature implemented as does the DLC :)

According to a posting of GOG update wizard JudasIscariot in the Shadow Run thread, a proper save system should be implemented now.

Edit: Speaking of the devil... :D
