Have you gotten yourself in Motion yet?
I've barely gotten past the character creation screen..
>>321506924
the game made my eyes bleed so i quit 10 minutes in, why did the UI have to be so "look guys we're so retro and shit" and that godawful font oh god
>>321507409
Just set all fonts to large.
>>321507409
Seriously don't understand the complaints about font and how people have to play at low res to deal with it. The text in OP is perfectly readable.

If you intend to use offensive stealth the cut-throat feat is essential and works obviously only with knives.
What is the pyrokinesis to hit percentage based on? Throwing skill? Or is it just based on perception?
>>321508703
The fire ball? Yeah it does, the further you want to throw it, the less likely it is to hit the spot where you aim at.
I need /v/'s help. I read on the wiki that the armor sloping feat applies to riot gear if you make a metal shield with it but I'm still getting the full armor penalty. Have I done something wrong here or does it just not work together

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
I didn't reach Deep Caverns yet, but I'm pretty sure they are the good guys. I never killed a single Faceless and saved the one in the Drop Zone, I hope the game will recognize that.
>>321509604
Same here. Honestly it feels like they are more civilized than entire Underrail. The only act of brutality i saw from them is killing Buzzer but he was right where that box was opened the last time.
>>321509604
>>321510014
If they are so civilized, why do they automaticly aggo even outside their territory?
>>321510082
Not everywhere.
For example you can reason with the group outside of Foundry and they will not only leave, but reward you as well.
They are only aggressive if it directly concerns their artifact.
>>321510237
I don't remember an artifact in the caves at merchant level in core city.
There's a group who will attack you on sight for no reason.
What stats are for Psychokinesis? Im usually at a loss when i get an extra stat. I went

Well artifact is or at least was in core city so this is a place where they are hostile at it involves it.
>>321510082
> why do they automaticly aggo even outside their territory?
They don't, they are only hostile if someone tries to interfere with their buisness.
The mind controller from Buzzers shop spares you and thanks you for your cooperation, the group near the Foundry is quite nice and rewards you for info on the cube, the Faceless you save in Core City warns you thatThey are attacking the Institute and if you stay they will probably try to kill you as well
> The only act of brutality i saw from them is killing Buzzer
That cube has to be really fucking important and they don't want to take any chances. You can convice them to spare him, too.
>>321510301
>There's a group who will attack you on sight for no reason.
You mean the one that block the Core City so the guy with the cube can't escape if he's there, or the one in Buzzers shops that also makes sure the guy with he Cube won't escape if he's there?
>tfw fighting 7 mutants and 5 acid dogs in a cramped area
Depot A is nothing.
>>321510603
You are not the guy with the cube, a civilized faction would not butcher literally everything that moves and then ask questions later.
That's savage tactics.
>>321510774
>You are not the guy with the cube
They don't know if you are. Better not take any chances.

It would if the shit got serious, and the Cube is pretty fucking serious.

Is there any lock on factions in general? From what i understand you can serve an oligarch, join the Tchortists (although their main door in the institute of Tchort is closed for now) and protectorate. Will they lock me from each other and SGS base?

>"I'll name it close to a popular games name in order to piggyback off that games success and trick idiots!"
Why is this allowed?
This or Age of Decadence?
>>321511508
There are a few mutually exclusive factions bout none will lock you out of SGS.
They are as follows:
Black Eels/Scrappers
Protectorate/Free Drones
JKK/Coretech/Praetorian Security
>>321511593
IGNORE DO NOT FALL TO BAIT
>>321511508
If you take work from Coretech you can't take any from JKK and I assume the protectorate too.
>>321511582
If I'm interested enough in the game I'll probably just pirate it.
7% is just insulting.
>>321511636
This is nice to hear.
Free Drones are a bloody murderers and fanatics, why the hell would anyone join them.
>>321511617
Underrail is more like Fallout with focus on combat and exploration,.
Age of Decadence is a niche within a niche RPG with huge replayability and focus on heavy roleplaying where you need to specialize.
They are pretty different, get both.

No but really, thy both suck.
Free Drones have nice intentions and all but as you said they are just fucking terrorist and cruel at that, while Protectorate is imperialistic, aggressively expansive and has it's share of cruel shit as well like the Chemical Assault team.
I prefer Protectorate out of the two though. Free Drones kicked me out because I spared the envoy they wanted me to kill and their members are mostly bandits.

It's an rpg where you control a single dude and you use guns/fists/lasers/sledgehammers/mind powers/crossbows/knives/grenades/traps/other shit while traveling in an underground world of metro systems and caverns filled with assorted factions, camps, cities, monsters and other shit. It's focused on combat and exploration, and it's great at both. It's not a storyfag rpg, so dun expect deep dialogue or whatever.
Here's a review from prior to release http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=9657
That makes me think, has it even gotten any reviews from larger sites since it's release?
>>321513367
No, this isn't a "game" for people who just want to read a story. It's about fighting cunts and exploring.
Alright, what the fuck is going on.
We killed all the robots, including the plasma turrets, and this fuck won't acknowledge it.
Reloading doesn't help.
Can I just kill him?
How do I use blade components?
I want to make a knife but I can't use already finished blades which are sold by merchancs, blueprint want me to make my own with knifemold and metal.
So what is the real level cap?
Balor's hammer cannot be used at level 25 even with food/armor buffs from what i understand.

Shit, I got olny 70 hours in the early access, before the deep caverns.
Are they that big?

so it's 300 damage in the last stage alone, without the earlier stages.

How do shields work? What's conversion and dissipation rate?
>>321516283
http://www.underrail.com/wiki/index.php?title=Shield_Emitter
Conversion Rate is shield capacity divided by energy capacity. How many shield capacity points one point of energy gives.
Dissipation Rate determines how fast the shield capacity drains away on its own while the shield is active.
>>321514316
>>321514319
Fucking rad. buying it right now.
>>321516283
>What's conversion
Capacity= energy*conversion rate
>dissipation rate?
Keeping the shield on drains the energy over time, the lower the dissipation rate the longer they will stay up.

Yes, it's a good rpg, not a dogshit action "rpg" like you've described here
>move with WASD and attack shit normally?
>>321516882
Fist weapons count as unarmed if I'm not mistaken.
It's just a layer of extra damage.
>>321516957
> Will it ruin my protectorate/us relations?
No.
>>321516983
Cool. Was gonna do a Fist of the North Star run.
>>321516983
Nah, there are differences.
For example, unarmed bypass 100% of the energy shield while fist weapons bypass only 80%.
What is this game? Looks like Fallout with uglier graphics and limited world.

Fuck off. Either you're mixing this up with something else or you're just deluded. In alpha Underrail had enough content for 60+ hours in just a single playthrough and was more functionally solid then basically every other rpg released in the last few years.
>>321517087
But it really doesn't matter that much if your fist weapon has a good secondary effect.
Especially if you're psi monk.

>>321513853
That's not a review though
>>321517242
Don't do it. I bought into the hype and realize the game is overrated. The writing is terrible and the gameplay is tedious. Granted, Fallout 1 & 2 had boring combat as well, but at least the writing and gameplay options were there to keep me entertained. This? This is what an amateur gives you when you tell him to recreate a classic isometric RPG: a watered-down RPG that tries to substitute its lack of roleplaying depth with a bigger focus on combat options.
Either the game's being shilled hard by the devs, or the slavs here are just getting overly excited about another slav game.

And I do mean a thief, not an assassin. Can you talk/sneak your way through quests or at some point do you have to break out the guns to fight bosses.
>>321519551
You can stealth your way through a lot of shit, not so much talking.

Don't do it, if you want to make a sneaky guy invest at least into one combat style or you will miss out on a lot of XP, items and quests.

Already doing that, i'm taking everything that has to do with crits and maxing DEX. Cheap Shots is retardedly powerful, +50% unconditional crit damage and the incapacitate proc as a bonus.
Ripper for more crit damage.
Weaponsmith for more crit chance.

I know this is /v/ so you're not used to seeing video game discussion, but show a little sense.
>>321524194
Mechanics is useful for everybody.
Making repair kits, armors, all weapons and minimal amounts of mechanics are used for pretty much everything.
There are some grenades that are great even with 0 throwing. Wear a shaded helmet and throw flashbangs under your feet or throw EMP nades under your feet next to bots.
Dodge/evasion are pretty poor, they are only really good for characters using light (0% penalty with nimble) armor and NOT using stealth.
If you use heavy vests or metal armor dodge/eva is useless and if you use stealth correctly you won't be getting hit much anyway and your shield will take care of whatever actually does hit you.
Dodge/eva need massive skill investments to be viable and those skill points are better spent on crafting and exploration skills.
Taking only one combat skill is not advisable, take traps or throwing alongside a weapon skill and if you go psionics don't go only one branch.
>>321524295

So should I avoid evasion and dodge on my psi/melee build? If I restart I can distribute those points some of the crafting I missed and my third psi discipline. I don't think I'll be wearing heavy armor, but the psionic overcoat I crafted already has 30% armor penalty.
>range is so huge it covers virtually half of an entire screen

How exactly does armor penalty work?
Using AR as my primary weapon. Should i use pistol or smg as secondary?
>>321528650
Fuck I have hoped to find that a long time now.

It really depends what you need it for. If you want something for finishing enemies off you're probably best off with a 9mm Luger with rapid reloader and smart mod
>>321530143
so i think its too late for me to put points into crafting so does weapons show up pre-modded?
>>321530317
Depends what level you are.
lv 11 melee psi build
Should I start putting points into mechanics or electronics at this point, or is it too late at this point?
Biology and persuasion, which I have been leveling up, seems like such a waste.
>>321531719
No but it'll take two levels worth of skill points to make even one of them useful
>>321530529

Do mines respawn?
So I spent the last half hour trying to min-max character building without actually knowing anything about the game and doing it like it's Fallout 2 but without Gifted. Am I correct in assuming that stats which do not directly apply to the skills and feats of my choice are to be used as dump stats and reduced to the minimum level with no fucks given? Or did I just botch my character horribly and this is one of those games where you actually need all of the stats and can't have a retard strong potato.
What character portrait did you guy's choose?
>>321532324
That should be fine.
>>321532621
Nah you're good.
This game seems to be oddly popular on /v/ right now. This is indeed strange. Maybe i should give it a try.
>>321512131
>There's no way EA would bankroll a crpg
Didn't they try this with Dragon Age, namely DA2? Man, that was an embarrassment all around.
>>321524982
I for one, loved the first two Fallouts, and I'm loving Underrail myself. If things get too hard, you can import your character with all their items into a new game, so you don't have to worry about being overwhelmed.
Trying to decide on a build here. Crossbows are like sniper rifles but with less damage and no noise, I take it? Is there a silenced sniper rifle then? I sorta want to make a stealth character that stays in the dark and shoots people in the dick for massive damage.
>>321532791
This handsome devil
>>321533869
Crossbows have lots of unique bolt types with special effects (fire,poison,shock ect) and i think they ignore 125% mechanical resistance
>>321533869
Crossbows are AoE.
>>321532791
The one who looks like lucas from the armory
>>321533869
Only weapons that can mount 5mm barrels can be silenced, so no sniper rifles, only pistols (and I think one SMG). Crossbows are generally much better in my opinion anyway, since you can use a variety of bolts with them.
>>321532791
I made a custom one. I always do when I can.

The opposite. Enemy armor counts as 25% higher.
>>321534376
There are some scripted fights where you fight alongside allies, but generally no unless you go Psi and get Bilocation. It allows you to create a doppelganging shadow-nigger that fucks enemies in the butts.

Does your own heat damage automatically get resisted or is that from gear?
>>321535205
Gear.
>>321535205
It's a psi ability.
I basically become Ignus for 4 turns.
How viable is it to go with a pure sniper through the game? No other weapons apart from a sniper rifle, maxed out per/dex with all other stats gone to shit, and all points into guns and stealth to hide my ass after I blast some fool.
Anyone got a Psi character going with heavy CON? About to ditch all this AGI and fortify up.
>>321535559
Pretty viable, you need some str to handle the rifles though.

>gotten
That word makes me cringe. Why can't you yanks just use 'got'?
>>321535635
Yeah, the game said that, but didn't mention how much, so I'm thinking of leaving it at 5. Is that enough? I'm also looking through the thread and seeing that crafting is apparently bretty gud to have, so I'm thinking of adding that as well.
>>321535737
Ah, so it's one of those games that goes "surprise motherfucker, we just put your ranged combat ass into a small enclosed space and filled it with enemies because fuck you that's why", is it? I hate that shit.
>>321526740
You don't really need Evasion if you use crafted energy shields, dodge is far better in that case because shields are shir against melee.
And you can spot traps without traps skill if you equip a good pair of motion detecting goggles, but yeah it's better to have both.
You should mention a taser in the electronics description, it's a great CC option and everyone who has any points in electronics should have one.
Also you should mention that holding Shift basically turns your toolbar into a reloading version of it- you can choose different ammo types to reload your gun with, charge the energy shield etc.
And you should also mention that you can drag pretty much anything to the toolbar to use it, like the night vision goggles or the uitility bot console.
>>321526740
Mercantile is pretty fucking huge alternative to crafting if you need an abundance of items. No way I could create back the amount of molotovs or boosters I use.
>>321535896
5 is enough yeah.
I found this slav dude that showcases a bunch of builds on youtube he seems to know his shit.

>>321530143
9mm Luger with rapid reloader and laser sight is the most reliable sidearm option available.
High minimal damage so it won't fuck you in the ass when you need to finish someone of, +15% precision so it won't miss nerly as much, 20 base AP means at least 2 or even 4 if you take rapid fire which fires 3 shots at 150% AP cost with reduced precision.
>>321535896
>Ah, so it's one of those games that goes "surprise motherfucker, we just put your ranged combat ass into a small enclosed space and filled it with enemies because fuck you that's why", is it? I hate that shit.
Depends on the situation you put yourself into. There's not many scripted events, but you'll find that walking into areas without stealth will buttfuck you over such as opening a door to some gangsters hideout in the middle of the ghetto.
>>321536342
> but you'll find that walking into areas without stealth will buttfuck you over such as opening a door to some gangsters hideout in the middle of the ghetto.
That was such a "fuck you" moment, I still remember it.
>>321535896
>Ah, so it's one of those games that goes "surprise motherfucker, we just put your ranged combat ass into a small enclosed space and filled it with enemies because fuck you that's why", is it? I hate that shit.
Not exactly.
With stealth, which you should have as a sniper because of synergizing feats, you can avoid close encounters.
It's just that some enemies have stupidly high mechanical resistance and even crit immunity so you want elemental damage for them form traps/nades.
Not to mention some fights are really tough without any form of crowd control and snipers are basically just huge damage spikes every 3 turns from Aimed Shot criticals and you have no stuns/slows/roots or anything really.
> I'm also looking through the thread and seeing that crafting is apparently bretty gud to have, so I'm thinking of adding that as well.
Crafting is generally good and amazing on some builds that want specialized gear and snipers want really really REALLY specialized gear so crafting is amazing for them.
Smart goggles and anatomic scopes are a must for snipers and finding good ones, especially special scoped snipers, is really hard.
>>321536536
>t's just that some enemies have stupidly high mechanical resistance and even crit immunity
There is literally nothing I can't one shot as a sniper with AP rounds except the Beast.
Where the fuck do i find bottles to craft molotovs? Not seen a single one yet
>>321535896
>"surprise motherfucker, we just put your ranged combat ass into a small enclosed space and filled it with enemies because fuck you that's why", is it? I hate that shit.
Well, the game does take place wholly underground, with all the caves and small spaces that implies. Combined with the fact that you don't get any permanent party members, the powerful-but-slow sniper rifle can be a liability. I'm not saying you can't use it, but you will need a backup.
>>321535559
>and stealth to hide my ass after I blast some fool.
Good fucking luck. Enemies will track you down anyways.
After 70 hours into the game, I've only managed it twice.
>>321535896
>Ah, so it's one of those games that goes "surprise motherfucker, we just put your ranged combat ass into a small enclosed space and filled it with enemies because fuck you that's why", is it? I hate that shit.
Only place that happens in is the Arena. Everywhere else you get a chance to prepare as long as you have Stealth.
>>321536057
If you're picking up enemy gear you'll be overloaded with dosh to the point that the discount from mercantile will be worthless.
Not to mention if you have a bit of Int you only need 20-30 skill points total to make molotovs
>>321535975
Noted. I've got a top notch ES but I've only ever found it necessary to use it for the extremely tough encounters. High eva and playing defensively have made it mostly pointless
>>321536171
>>321536342
>>321536536
Thanks for the info. Another question, if I may. From what I understand, 25 is the level cap, but is it actually possible to reach it? Because that would mean you get 6 extra stat points to use, since someone mentioned you get an extra point every 4 levels. Are the other ways of getting those?

Thing is absolute bullshit with the 100% crit talent. Effectively makes every shard crit. Add the -1 con per shard feat for a full stack of that shit.

Flashbangs, creative use of force field to block passages while you run away.
I do it all the time, but with a cut-throat character.
>>321537563
>Flashbangs
I love these things, almost as good as molotovs.
Got a 10*200% bonus vs bullets vest
If I make a 200% vs bullets tabi boots, does that add up to 30bullet damage ignored?
>>321538169
It's already 30 from the vest - 10 + 200%*10 = 10 + 20. Tabi boots mechanical threshold gets added, also tripled vs bullets if kevlar. They're good because the have no armor penalty but I think they increase the change to get critically hit.
So this is only available on Steam right? The site didn't advertise any other versions.
>>321538906
It's on GoG.
