I found the same re: two handed specs and using them. But: 1. Incurable one-round-to-utilize blindness is pretty nice. The spec's worthwhile enough to use it to me for that alone. There are alot of people that will wreck you if they initiate (not to mention its use against mobs). Those are my main two uses for the entire set of spec skills, but they're pretty useful. All in all, though, if I could go back and rechoose between sword and shield, and remove all Roleplay considerations? I don't know. Would you choose shield if you could go back, Talwar? ...I use my spec alot, it's hard to say. Anyway, just adding to what you said. As for why it wasn't fun.. dunno. it's not easy to last longer than 300 hours uncaballed like you did. the games alot more difficult/lonely uncaballed. You did great, though :) Bye.
2. Bleeding your opponents *would* have been nice, also, if I wasn't a Maran (and had Phoenix Fire). You were a Maran, also, so probably didn't feel it necessary to bleed the shadowrunners, either, unless you were killing mobs for gear.
