Is there friendly fire in this game?
Yes. If you use aoe weaponry it will hit your friends.
First impressions type thing (I'm not reading the thread):
This is of course much like the other shadowruns, and I am having fun playing it. And while it wasn't reasonable to expect such an incline from DF to this as from DMS to DF, I am a bit disappointed. It feels a lot like it's treading in place, and it might be a bit worse.
There's a general lack of polish, some bugs, and the way the game detects flanking from cover appears to be all kinds of wack.
The new matrix stuff is not very good in general. The stealth feels imprecise and twitchy, which is a bad combo, especially for an otherwise turn based game. And the hacking minigame isn't anything better than ok and I suspect by the end I'll have come to loathe it. Enemies have mostly been same old, but the extradimensional zombies were really cool.
My biggest issue is the massive tl;dr. Missions are a bit more wordy than they should be, but the true offender is the hub. There's so many dudes here, with so much stuff to say, and piling on is the talking with the companions, the shadowland BBS... I find myself skipping over a lot of this stuff, which is not something I like finding myself doing.
The monofilament whip is cool though, and I like the companions so far. Some of the runs have also felt very short, consisting of a few dialogues, a small matrix server and one combat encounter.
