Why are both ‘Hope’ and ‘Fate’ stats used to push the results of certain actions ?
Shouldn’t it be just one of them or is this simply an error in the quickstart ?

I thought hacking-puzzles had died last century …
I get why it is done, because rolling a few dice isn’t *that* exciting … but at the same time it tends to kill the pace of an encounter.

At least that’s one of the reasons they used to basically reduce the hacking in the new CP Red to be more like riding an elevator (things get more dangerous, but the rewards are better at higher levels), which is good enough to make it interesting without adding too much complexity or reducing the hacking attempt to a single skill check.

It’s a shame the system won’t ever include the other movies due to licensing idiocy.
