Untitled

As far as I know, Shadowrun started out as a pen&paper RPG, and not a tabletop, as claimed by the article. Wiki agrees on that, too. 217.85.139.135 13:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Icarus

I've always used the terms 'pen & paper' and 'tabletop' interchangeably.Shadowgm 14:06, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Shadowgm

Me, too; I think they're synonyms. I'm referring to the 'pen & paper' RPG in the text. (I actually played it in the early 90s.) --Chetman 18:31, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Unarmed?

Does anybody know what Armitage's unarmed skill is at? I'm curious to see if he could actually snap the player's neck. Nitty 21:31, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Are we sure he's even an android?

I'm known to be dumb about some things, granted, but is the only hard evidence that he is an android the component found on his person? Doesn't really seem like much proof to me, though I personally believe it makes sense for him to be an android, he's not listed as that in the GECK and you can cannabilize him.

His creator, Dr. Zimmmer, is right next to him in the Science Lab in Rivet City and states he created him. He says he's not a very advanced model. 76.99.186.217 00:30, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Any H.P. Lovecraft reference?

Armitage shares the same name as Dr. Armitage, the librarian who refused to give the Necronomicon to Wilbur in The Dunwich Horror. BrenMan 94 03:30, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

He occasionally stops being hostile.

One time when I left Rivet City and returned; another time when I hid and he never saw me at the scene. My sneak status remained [HIDDEN], not [CAUTION]. I had to wait for a couple of hours (24 without further testing) before his radar marking showed him as friendly again. 217.211.88.20 13:53, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Conflict

This page says only four people have android components. The android component page adds a fifth, Harkness. Can someone check Harkness inventory (make sure to do a post-mortem check, too), and if he does have an android component, add him to this page's list? Otherwise, could you fix the android component page? Thanks, that'd be great. *sips coffee* 71.63.129.124 00:35, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

You are right. Dead or alive Harkness doesn't have an android component. This page and harkness page are right but the android component is wrong. By the way, there is no androir component in victoria watt's inventory, it is just added to the player. Only 3 characters and not 5 own an android component : Zimmer, armitage and Pinkerton.--79.95.126.86 21:44, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Back and Forth Editing

There seems to be some dispute between what information should be on this page. In the "behind the scenes" section, it is constantly being changed to two different things. Why not display both pieces of information (although one is opinionated). Any one else? --Musiekutsueki (talk) 00:45, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Articles should be written in such a way that they don't try to impress an opinion on the reader. Great Mara (talk) 00:54, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

So to paraphrase the statement you are talking about, this suits the themes of The Replicated Man. That is an opinion and should not be stated. I am posting this for clarification for not only myself but for others as well who will read this, that why it's worded in such a blunt way. --Musiekutsueki (talk) 01:15, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

While there are those that would draw your conclusion, there are also those that would disagree with you. In that case, we would also have to put 'this also doesn't fit the theme of the quest'. It seems rather silly to have both the positive and negative, so it's better to not include it at all. In short: If we want to list one opinion/similarity/comparison, we have to list them all, which leads to redundancy and clutter.  A Follower  Talk  06:32, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

The piece of info about the Terminator quote? Why was that scratched? I thought it was interesting; what would it take to have it remain in the article? Would the quotes just have to be 100% accurate (although that's obvious) --Musiekutsueki (talk) 01:00, May 27, 2015 (UTC)

That line is from Running Man. Great Mara (talk) 02:42, May 27, 2015 (UTC)
