The Adrenaline Vault Previews Shadows of Reality looking ahead at this upcoming cyberpunk Unreal Tournament-engine RPG currently in development at Nevolution. Here's a bit on character development in the game:

Armed with a skill system based on Fallout and System Shock, you can create your character, assign him or her skills, and then build upon them throughout the course of the adventure. If being a doctor strikes your fancy, then you can jack into medical simulators and, in true "Matrix" style, learn entire years worth of information and skills in under ten minutes. If the life of a mercenary Street Samurai is your calling, then wire yourself up with smart gun implants and cyber-enhanced reflexes to show that you're not to be trifled with. Whether it's obtaining information at gunpoint or doing a run on a data fortress, you can do things your own way.
