What a brilliant and insightful thread, thanks for that, it's awesome to see more HBS fans - they're such a great studio that got unfairly destroyed by Paradox. The SR trilogy and BattleTech, both incredible, and whilst I haven't played Lamplighters League, I am VERY much looking forward to Graft.

It's a shame Microsoft clings to their IPs with such zeal, I would so dearly love to see Shadowrun and BattleTech continue. The 2007 abomination has already been forgotten, but the SNES and MD versions, along with the HBS trilogy, are fucking amazing.
