Come hither, jacks.
Let's discuss UnderRail.What name were you given in the Arena?
I fucking love this game.
By the way, during theWit Nosekquest, is there another way torepair the television aside from passing the electronics check?
>>324313141
Weatherman
Also, I did the drill mission by working for Eddy, and now I can't start the Black Eel quests, can I not get to Silent Isle anymore? Can I not get bilocation?
>>324313735
Going to Silent Isle isn't exclusively a Black Eel quest. I did it way before doing a single job for them. Just talk to the sailor.
>>324313690
Oh holy shit.
Can you say something about Godmen there? Did Oculus stuff later.
>>324313936
I don't get the option to go to Silent isle
>>324313141
I got Mister Bombastic with my heavy armour/sledgehammer character.
But I literally cannot beat Carnifex.
Haven't played in a few days because of it.
Anyone have any tips?
>>324315048
set him on fire and he runs around like a bitch
only reason I did this is to wait until the effect of the net wore off so I could loot his ass, was disappointing that he gave no armor given how high his resist was
>>324314446
Huh. Well, as far as I know you get a second chance at it, but it's faction locked too. Praetorian, I think.
Fucking piece of shit mentors though, I already found Cryo Orb thrice but I still don't have the fucking shield.
>>324314335
Not during the interview, unless I accidentally missed a dialogue option. I think I went through everything. This was comedy gold.
>>324313141
Lead Storm. I literally only use grenades and psy, but i use guns to finish, so meh.
Boy do I feel stupid now.
>>324316237
Oh fuck, he actually goes into Depot A?
>>324316525
Nope.That is a regular mutie. They all talk that way.
>>324315492
> but it's faction locked too
FUCK!
I was getting to those quest. Does it make it impossible for me to access the stores of the other factions. I hear Coretech has great stuff for psi users. Bilocation just sounds too great.
I was a bit confused why they suddenly attacked me after the mindreading since the dialogue didn't really give any clue and based on my previous actions in the game they should have been neutral to me. I decided to reload my pre-dc save and go straight to them this time and confirmed my suspicions that they attacked because I made contact with the tchortists before them. Can't say I really understand why they cared about that but didn't care about all the work I did for the tchorists before heading to dc.
>>324315492
Cryo orb is bullshit because there's 1 set location for it already, it should be excluded from random lists.
>>324317154
Keep in mind that I might be wrong. I never actually joined Praetorian so I don't know if it's true.
As for vendors, yep. You only get access to one. I'm a psi, but not a crafter, so the only use I found for Coretech's vendor was to unload some loot.
why are the faceless such faggots
they need to drop this on MAC !!!!!!!
Did the mutagen stuff, but I'm still stuck on the final boss.
Trying to run up to those tanks and punch them is hard when there are 3 tentacles and 2 mobs on me.
>>324318835
Stealth and TNT. You can take them all out without being seen
It's hilarious how good the setting is when you know all about it.
I would say far better than in both Fallout and Metro, especially thanks to Oculus and Godmen stuff.
Holy fuck Tanner.
>>324319017
I tried, but I have 0 stealth. I guess I'll have to load and put together some stealth armor.
>>324319391
The best thing about it is that the game tries so hard to intentionally mislead you into a false sense of security. It WANTS to look like there is hardly any story at all, and no thought put into the setting.
what the fuck is the trick for the battery factory
Today I learned Bandit snipers can shoot you from beyond visible range and do 300+ damage. That was fun. Not sure how I'm supposed to handle that.
>>324313690
various parts of the institute are hilarious, but after this comes the deep caves ...
>>324320238
nvm, got it
>>324320435
>various parts of the institute are hilarious
I'm loving it, seriously.
>I am Invictus CHARNAME. I defeated the mighty Carnifex while being watched by the whole Core City! Be impressed with my hardcoreness.
>>324316237
What's a wheeze boy?
>>324322726
*cough* You will know... *wheeze* in time.
>>324320409
I just initiated combat instead of talking to them, and used the rocks by the lower fence to LoS them. Then just the typical AR bursts on everyone lining up coming around the corner to me. Pretty much how I handled every fight in the game.
>>324313735
>>324313936
>>324314446
>>324317154
Talk to the barman in junktown
Click rumors until he tells you about the isles
Then talk to the boat man
>>324322543
>nobody believes you are champion
>>324323514
Thanks man, really appreciate it!
>>324323230
Yeah I suppose I'll have to cheese it like that. I don't really like playing games like that, but with this game it seems you have to.
>>324323778
That's not true. That one guy back at SGS is a hardcore fan of you.
And alsoTwitch watched you championship game. Because Oculus is family.
Has anyone found out where you get the high-tier Thought Control tutors? In particular Neurovisual Disruption looks good.
Has anyone tried giving the caged Faceless a super health hypo? That should probably take care of most of his injuries, so I'm wondering if he is willing to tell you anything then.
>>324325348
I bought Neurovisual Disruption from Ezra. Mentors carried by vendors are never random as far as I'm aware, so you should be able to get it from him.
>>324325363
I gave him one since I have 100's of them
didn't say anything, just scurried off
I'm feeling dumb but I can't find where to plant the explosives in Depot A for the Eels. I used the vents heavily when I first went because I'm a stealth character but I don't remember any of them leading to a cavern. I've just been running around the vents/base for a bit now scratching my head.
>>324326926
Holy fuck, from where? Don't tell me you crafted them.
>>324313141
Whats best a Muzzled 9 shot Hornet or a Compensated marauder?
>>324327473
I never use healing items so they tend to just pile up
so far I've only used 1 healing item in the fight with carnifex since he beat the shit out of me and gave be 2 bleeding stacks in the first round.
>>324327351
Scratch that, I finally found it. There was apparently one section of vents I never used.
>>324328148
what's your build?
>>324328251
I'm a crossbow, stealth, trapper
just fire my 3 shots from range, quick tinker a trap as I duck around a corner
>>324315492
>>324317154
Praetorians don't send you to the silent isle. I think you're confusing Silent Isle with Forsaken Island, the second being part of a quest for the Tchortists.
>>324328847
How do you deal with heavy armor and groups of enemies?
>>324328847
Fellow crossbow/trapper, what crossbow do you use? The super string and anatomically aware scope seem like the best choices but I'm unsure of the best frame. Zephyr and Cyclon seem to be the best, though the Moonsoon seems decent.
Man, playing this game at 2x speed is like an all-around improvement.
>>324329132
poison works wonder on heavy armor, around 150 points of damage from a single burrower trap and I can use electro, acid or poison bolts to finish them off. I usually use the elctro to stun them if I can't kill him outright so that they don't use their healing items.
groups of enemies depends on the situation, if I can make choke points, etc. The warehouse fight I blocked the 3 paths with bear traps and 1 shot them as soon as I heard the clank from the bear trap, nothing resists a volley from me after I trap it. Balor is the only one that I had to use 2 traps on since he could break free from them quickly because of his strength and the fact that I messed up and hit stealth so I lost a turn.
If I can get enemies to cluster in a choke point, I'll usually use an explosive, either a mine after the bear trap followed by another bear trap to hold them and then finish them off with the electro bolts or fire ones since they do damage to lots of opponents
how often do vendors restock
>>324332202
every 90 minutes
>>324330605
I use the string and the anatomically aware scope, zephyr frame for the critical bonus
I could see myself using the one that uses less AP though, it could come in handy if you need the extra movement points
>>324332435
thanks
>>324332786
Thanks man. The crossbow/trapper start is a slow one but once you get the right feats and traps it's great. It's like playing as Batman-- with time to prepare you can fuck up anything.
>>324333257
aye, the worst parts are those missions where you have to fight alongside others or areas where people lose their shit if they see you placing down a trap.
>>324324714
Not necessarily, the combat is the best part and there is always a solution instead of cheese.
>>324319910
Game reminds me of the brevity of sunless sea sometimes, maybe because of all the underground stuff, not nearly as good prose but still, I love the description from the lunatic poetry.
I assume you can't have an energy shield on while in stealth?
I'm in love with this game. Played it for two days non stop so far and I'm only level 6.
Fuck I love the Oddities XP system.
I'm glad I found some build videos though - otherwise I'd be fucked.
>>324313141
Sandman.
I haven't seen anyone else get it, I'm kind of sad.
Can anyone tell me what Psi skill you learn from the Mysterious Pillar in the Core City Sewers? I wanna go Coretech on my Psi run but I don't wanna miss a good skill...
>>324324765
Twitch only watches it if you join them before becoming Invictus, right?
>>324313141
How long is this game?
>>324334932
You can.
>>324337349
I'd peg it around 40 hours.
>>324337075
I don't think any of the pillars except the silent isle one give you skills. Don't quote me on that though, I also went for Coretech.
>>324337539
i'm at 50 hours and probably not even halfway
>>324337349
40 hours if you don't explore and just do the main quests.
Days and days if you constantly make new characters to try new builds.
>>324313141
>Female+mainly Thought Control=Temptress
bretty apt
I have 20% crit chance but only 150% crit bonus. Is Critical Power worth it?
>>324338978
If you have an ability that has a 100% chance to crit yes.
If you don't still yes because its damage is amazing.
>>324336192
I share that sentiment.
This is a game that truly respects the old classics.
>>324327473
Almost every single humanoid enemy after the earlygame carries a pile of consumables. It's easy to get fuckloads of them if you kill them without allowing them to use them.
>>324341418
Yeah I ended up with like 80+ of both hypos by the time I got to Deep Caverns just from clearing out everything even though I use them often in fights.
Only had like 50 of each by the time I got to the boss though.
I got plenty of charons after final black eels mission
are shields worth getting?
i didnt invest in electronics
>>324341869
I wish there was a mod that greatly lowered the amount of healing items you find in the world.
I think the overabundance of hypos actually hurts the game.
>>324342014
Yes, shields are always worth it.
Stealth builds are so fucking fun.
>pickpocketing oddities from every faction
>infiltrating the JKK, Coretech and Praetorian buildings and looting the entire places
>find an awesome 48 sneak cloaking device at JKK
>nobody reacts to the sound of doors opening and closing
>they can't see a guy that's literally in front of their eyes
>>324342014
You can find some pretty good shields during/after depot A.
>>324342090
Just play 3 CON characters on Hard. You'll never need consumables because you die in one hit to everything.
>>324342209
Post your full build anon.
>>324342101
How do shields work in this game?
>>324342270
Yea but I like consumables, I just wish I had to actually think about using them.
>>324342317
Slower shield = Better vs slow projectiles like melee / crossbows
Fast shields = better vs fast projectiles like snipers
>>324342518
>Melee shielding
Err, anon? Knives and Hammers avoid 80% of your shield by default, and Unarmed attacks aren't stopped at all.
>>324342926
The 20% not avoided is still a lot stronger on a slow shield then a fast one.
He asked what they did, not if they were good anon.
>>324342316
Can't post a screenshot as I'm not on the PC right now, but basically it's a trap/throwing fighter, I put 10 on both dex and agi, 8 intelligence and 3 in everything else. I'm leveling only dex up, putting skill points in order of priority on stealth, all crafting skills (except biology), throwing, pickpocket and lockpick/hacking
>>324343591
weapons/psi?
>>324344029
No psi and no weapons, only traps and throwing knives and grenades
>>324344527
wow. how viable would you say it is in terms of combat?
So I just got done with the "Free Drones" quest line and was curiouswho the snitch is and if there are any quests where you learn more about this situation
anyone "chemical assault unit" build here
is it even possible to do Gorsky's task if you are not a stealth character?
i got bob's pass and uniform and try to navigate without cover being blown but I cant
and those guards rape my ass in a single turn
>>324345523
It's possible, but you have to be really quick.
Just save and then sit in a corner and watch the patterns.
It helps if you know where the package is first.
>>324345523
it took me a lot of tries but yes, it's possible. You can't get close to anybody (guards/workers) or you're done for
>>324345012
It's viable, but since you basically rely on utilities and you can't carry many of them as they pack quite a weight, you run out of them very fast early on when there aren't many vendors.
Then again, scoring a critical when throwing a molotov at a pack of bandits and blocking the exit with bear traps never gets old.
>>324345523
You can also completely forget about the uniform and just wear the rathound regalia, a balaclava and ninja boots, it should be enough to make you able to sneak around even if you never put points in that skill, like in my case
>>324346364
sounds fun, I might try it
>>324345134
I did them too and the last one I did was thetaking over the SRO. There was nothing else after that and no mention of that person before or since. Weird. You'd think they'd tie that thread up before it was over.
>>324347224
If you do, don't forget to take the Quick Tinkering feat. Have fun anon.
>>324337517
Wow that's awesome, the one I found is going to help a lot.
>Enemy uses intimidate
I fucking hate this skill
>>324348398
What I hate is fucking tackle. Goddamn dog, just stay with your mates so I can grenade the lot of you rather than being stuck here barely able to move.
>>324347375
A lot of the plot threads are kind of left to dangle. Feels kind of rushed.
Fuck this game is good. It keeps getting better the more I play it.
how do you get through these fucking toxic clouds
>>324351679
Bio mask/suit. Failing that, a morphine shot.
>>324347375
The reason I asked and was curious was because I have read about who he is, I'm just not sure where this info is obtained in-game, perhaps I missed some dialogue or maybe there is an protectorate quest that reveals this piece of info.
Anyways spoiler alert:Alvin Bate is apparently a Protectorate spy, who seems to undermine the idealism of his fellow leader Trenton by recruiting psychopaths and other lowlives to disrepute the group, and feeding him corrupt ideas
So is there any substantial difference between playing male and female?
>>324353246
There's a quest or two that either can or can't be approached in a certain way depending on your gender, but besides that, maybe some flavor text here and there.
>>324353246
you can get a groin guard armor piece thats male only
where the hell do you get siphoner leather
because siphoners sure as fuck don't drop it
>>324354839
they do but they also drop a fuck ton of other stuff
>>324354839
I've seen it sold at Camp Hathor.
So I'm at a point where I need to choose a faction in order to progress through the main stoey
Which should I choose:
Coretech
JKK
Praetorian Security
>>324357074
what type of character are you?
Compensator or muzzle brake on back-up ARs? Sniper with convenient 6 strength here. Not enough electronics for smart modules yet
>>324356994
just snagged a 60 qual, thanks for the heads up
>>324357413
Psi Monk
>>324357074
>Coretech
go for this one if you like difficulty, warehouse defense was fun
best merchant as well
>>324357940
either JKK or coretech
>>324345523
I killed them all by sneaking into the captains room and having the fools come in 1 by 1
how many damage types are there?
Is it wrong that I mercilessly attack all the faceless?
Like the foundry mission when you have to find what that small group is doing, and they don't immediately shoot you, is it bad that I killed them after having that conversation with them?
>>324360967
not really
How high can leather quality get? Best I've seen is 100 quality Ancient Rathound Leather.
Jack disappeared from Core City after I finished his 3 quests somehow, anyone else experienced this?
Is there any use for the mercantile skill at all?
I haven't run out of money once and have a full 999 stack of stygian at 0 mercantile
>>324362254
I've got a a 108 ancient one and it can go higher once you infuse it
>>324363309
did you do them poorly?
>>324363578
you're going to need a hell of a lot more than that, specially if you want end game gear (SS plates are 3k styg each)
that being said, you can probably get by without mercantile, crafting armors always nets you a nice tiddy profit even without mercantile
Where'd Abram go?
I snuck his cybernetic thing into the vents and he said he would have more work for me but he's not where he used to be
>>324366353
Keep walking around Junkyard, do other quests you have in the area. At some point you'll be approached by some guy who tells you he's waiting for you outside.
How to best deal with Crawlers? They won't jump down from the ceiling, any way to force them out?
>>324365802
I did fine as far as I know, there is a bug report in the forum about this though, it says that sometimes Jack disappears if you do his first quest at SGS.
>>324345134
>>324347375
>>324352326
If you talk to everyone in the free drones base you learn about a missing person. You can find this missing person atthe hanging ratand confront them about who they are.If you do it before advancing too much with the free drones you uncover the spy before he has a chance to mess things up and it makes the later missions easier.
>>324369032
Just drink an Antidote and wait
>>324360967Have fun with all the hostile faceless in the deep caverns. Depending on your actions through the main game you can get them to be neutral or even friendly down there.
I just arrived at core city and im a bit overwhelmed by the factions. Which faction would suit a metal armor unarmed build the best? Or does it even matter? Should i completely clear out old junkyard and do the last black eal quest before i really start core city quests? I already killed Bob, that black guy because i opened the door on him accidently, had to murded the whole upper level, but it was really fun, and as i know i would have to kill him later anyway.
>>324369552
If you want to use metal armor, Praetors are probably the best.
It goes like this:
Coretech- the hardest questline, very good electronics trader, no unique oddities/locations.
Praetors- middle of the roadd difficulty, metal armors/weapons trader with rare ammo blueprints, one unique oddity and location.
JKK-the easiest but most fun questline imo, shitty trader with sneaky stuff and crossbows, 2 unique oddities and locations

>>324371672
As far as I know caltrops can't bring you below 1 HP.
Unless you used poisoned ones.
>>324369219
Nice fucking find, anon.
>>324341418
They drop regular and advanced hypos though, not super hypos, which the question was about.
>>324313141
"Sandman"
Also, DOES VIVIAN COME BACK? I Swear I'll kill everyone in JKK if they really killed her.
Around what level will I be when I finish the game, on oddity?
>>324369219
This is what I did too. But there was one thing that bothered me about ityou have to kill Bates before you could learn anything from him. Is there a way to get an explanation out of him by doing it later?
>>324374791
Depends on how much you explore, but you can easily hit level cap by the time you reach the end.
>>324374997
Alright, what's the cap?
>>324375046
25.
So last feat and skill point at level 24.
I was LEAD STORM.

Awesome.
Has anyone actually tried to traveling around as a mutant?
>>324374481
pls respond, literally nobody on the internet has answered this
Reminder that if you play without cheatengine speedhack+no autosave on transition, ya'll niggaz gimpin yoselves
>>324375549
They want you to wipe out the Drones by turning them into immortal acid spitting freakin' mutants? I'm sorry, but are these guys retarded? The Drone base is right under Rail Crossing and like five minutes away from Core City.
Whatever happened to regular poison gas?
>>324313141
I havent restarted oncen and am currently at 80 hours
>>324376068
I'm pretty sure the sound of your brethren horribly turning into horrible creatures and rendering your headquarters into a permanent shithole has a better ring to it than just gassing everyone to death.
Plus the Protectorate were eager for revenge after the Drones destroyed a really important base.
>>324369219
thanks for info, just figured out who the missing person was, we about to confront someone, shit is about to go down
>>324363309
You fucked up one of them.

But the mutagen could leak out. And some might only become a mutie, those are still intelligent. Or one might even turn into another Wyatt or Ezra.
This is too much unnecessary risk.
>>324377267

At least you aint called Goddess of Sleep for incapacitating your enemies (with my fists).

>>324377043
Depends on what kind of mutant, they still have some sort of intelligence if they're only lightly mutated
>>324378246
Well we're infecting the area with the worst mutagen possible it seems so they all turn into the brainless ones. Unless another miracle will happen and someone will become a super human instead, in which case Protectorate will get themselves a nemesis.
>>324378367
They sound like total dicks. When the Free Drones took over SRO, you know what they did with the people down in the Embassy? Nothing. They left them alone. No public executions, no hostages, nothing. They were content with taking the opportunity to openly spread their ideology in Junkyard.
>>324378012
>weatherman
top kik
>>324379475
Maybe that's an oversight on Styg's part, did they specifically mention the embassy?
>>324379475
They also stole a trainful of supplies heading to a town that was under siege.
>>324379952
And gassed a civilian train.
Neither of them are the good guys, but being a terrorist is fun.
>>324379475
Free Drones have a well-known habit of tying people to rails and spreading their insides from one station to another.
They also attack civilian trains with chemical weapons.
CAU are mad bastards but Drones are far worse.
Reminder that the best solution is to destroy Drones but strengthen SGS position as much as you can.
SGS is the only place of sanity in this crazy clusterfuck of factions, godlike aliens and ancient Cthulhu monsters.
>>324379590
Yep. It's mentioned that the Embassy is left alone since without reinforcements arriving from above they are no real danger.
>>324379952
A trainful of Protectorate supplies, anon. That's important.
>>324380164
>Free Drones have a well-known habit of tying people to rails and spreading their insides from one station to another.
Are you seriously going to trust information coming from the gang of a guy who lies to you and SGS like it's nothing just to get his old shithole of a base back?
>They also attack civilian trains with chemical weapons.
This, I know nothing about.
Guys I'm at the Deep Caverns andSixdirected me to the mushroom area but I'm not seeing anything useful here. What am I supposed to find here to help me killTchort?
>>324380987
>Are you seriously going to trust information coming from the gang of a guy who lies to you and SGS like it's nothing just to get his old shithole of a base back?
They have no reason to lie to you about this.
It's also said by that girl from his gang, not him.
It's also mentioned by other people as well.
>This, I know nothing about.
There's a doctor at protectorate base who was a victim of chemical attack of drones while traveling on a civilian train.
>>324380371
Except what exactly does the SGS do? They sit around on their asses in their little beacon of civilization, putting plebs through god knows what tests to make sure they can do their bidding, giving no shits about anything or anyone other than what concerns them. Hathor? If they didn't provide the meat, they wouldn't care. Junkyard? Fuck 'em. At least the fascizoid cans appear to give a toss.
Foundry are the ones with the right idea. Too the place is so cancerous.
>>324381229
>Except what exactly does the SGS do?
Survives as it can without trying to push some retarded ideology.
>>324381180
They have no reason to lie about this, but they are not a trustworthy source of information. This shit sounds like urban legend if you ask me. Something Lurkers would do.
And of course there is an undercover Protectorate agent amongst the ranks of the Drones, whose job is exactly to make Drones look as bad to the public as possible.
Do you remember if that attack happened in North or South Underrail? In the South they are doing mostly preventive missions and try to leave civilians out of it, but in the North it's all out guerrilla war, so unfortunately shit happens.
>>324381821
Just go to Fort Apogee and visit the doctor there, reading her story is a pain though because her throat was damaged by the attack.

Only Protectorate personnel are allowed in Fort Apogee, so that's not possible. If you are not one of them they just politely ask you to fuck off.

Congratulations, anon. You figured it out. I'm real proud of you.
>Styg: We do plan on adding more locations to the world through expansions hopefully. However, North Underrail will probably only come in a sequel.
This better not take another 7 years !

OH GLORIOUS DAY
Need some explanation for this: in core when you go to retrieve device, why the hell do you encounter fucking crawlers and mutants?
>>324383876
Because that's what lives in the sewer?
>>324383876
Because the lab was hidden in the ruins of an old Biocorp lab.
>>324384116
But next floor is plasma sentries and cameras?

>>324382687Walk back and forth through the spores until the debuff maxes out.
>>324384245
Yep, that's the part the Coretech guys made their home. Basically the idea is, someone blindly wanders in, finds only shit, Crawlers, and Mutants, and leaves. Don't ask me how the scientist get in and out though. They probably just don't.
>mfw he used Paint to draw most of the game
>>324381229
That's because it's run by a council of morons.
Tanner's lying, Gorsky just wants to make a new Core City gang, Vera is slightly brainwashed by her time living in North Underrail.
That leaves Old Jonas and Ezra.
>>324384836
>someone blindly wanders in
But thats impossible. Doors are locked and indestructable.
>>324385281
And Ezra is an old Biocorp zombie who turned an entire district into mutants. So yeah.
SGS is full of wonderful people.
Old Jonas is cool, though.
>>324385413
I mean, that's the in-universe reason. We have to assume locks can be picked and doors destroyed outside gameplay restrictions.
I was hoping that this game would move away from the same old quest-central bullshit like every other game, I just want to go out and find a dude fishing in the middle of dangerous a cavesystem or at least get quests like that instead of sticking all of the quests into towns.
>>324386085
Instead when I find an interesting building I have to leave it instead of exploring it for fear of spoiling a quest.
>>324386085
There are quests like that but chiefly speaking, yeah it's mostly centered on the stations, where the most people are. Unless you were expecting getting a quest from a siphoner or something.
>>324386242
>getting a quest from a siphonerSIPHONER MAN
>>324386218
YMMV but with around 100 hours of this, I'm yet to ruin a quest by going somewhere I'm not supposed to. Areas that could effective be ruined are usually behind an unbreakable barrier of some sort.
>>324386242
>Unless you were expecting getting a quest from a siphoner or something.
No but in my opinion you should be able to start quests not just by being told to, like if you stumble upon an interesting building there's a quest note saying "you found an interesting building" or something like that

OH NO, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN
Got a few questions
Should I get this game?
Is it like the original fallout and wasteland?
Is it unforgiving?
These threads are comfy asf even though I don't have a clue what is going on.
>>324388797
>Should I get this game?
>Is it like the original fallout and wasteland?
Definitely.
>Is it unforgiving?
There are times when the game slap you in the face just when you start thinking you're the hottest shit.
>>324388797
>Is it unforgiving?
There's a level that serves as a casual filter which will rape you in the ass if you're not careful and generally you can die easily, especially if your build is not that good.
>>324388797
It's like Fallout 1\2 with better combat, and an added bonus of some really sweet exploration.
You can enter a "dungeon" near one city, explore for 2 hours, and end up in the other side of the map, near another city. Ever play MML?
>>324382852
sauce pls
>>324388797
>Is it unforgiving?
A few hours in on your first playthrough you'll reach a place called depot a that will test whether the build you put together is good enough for the rest of the game. A lot of people have hit a brick wall there and had to start over, the less patient ones drop the game altogether because of it.
>>324390056
I never really understood how anybody can "fuck up" their build. You get a shitload of skill points each level up, you have loads of tools that can cover up for lack of damage (hello grenades)
I mean... fuck! What are people doing? Making 10 INT, 10 WIL, 1 CON , 1 PER guys and then having them run around with rifles?
How can you even fuck up your build?
Some people are just retarded
>>324385519
Technically he was with New Biocorp, since they collapsed close to 100 years ago. Old Biocorp collapsed way before.
>>324389870
>>324388797
It also has a more interesting storyline than Fallout, but you gotta stick with it to see.
Anyway, I already got 70+ hours outta the game, and I haven't even restarted the game a single time.
If exploring a mysterious world that's a combination of modern technology and something stanger, or engaging in enjoyable turn-based combat, or crafting some really cool items, or sneaking around and burning enemies to a crisp sound appealing to you, get the game.
It's 15 clams at the end of the day, and is fucking worth it
>>324349378
Not rushed, dev literally ran out of ideas and couldn't implement a lot of fan feedback because he ran out of money for the people he hired.
>>324386085
>>324386218
I never had that problem
I walked into the mutagen with the frozen mutants and got it before I ever got the quest
if you're going to break something, you're usually locked out of the area or there are semi aggressive NPC's there
>>324390943
Or better yet, you grab the thingamabob, and when the NPCs give you the actual quest they have an actual "Wait what, you already went there and grabbed the thing?!" line.
>>324390385
>>324390056
You are aware devs nerfed that place? No amount of grenades or traps would cover up for you when you get rushed by dozen of acid spitting sponges and dogs that glue you and whole area is covered with green shit.
>>324391302
>mfw Sure Step
Also I think my game is bugged but Acid Spit doesn't actually hurt me with Sure Step. I still get rooted sometimes but that's it.

Its from a while back, but I assume this is still the way he feels
>>324391302
Played that area before the nerf.
Grenades + molotovs saved my ass tons of times.
>>324385519
OH SHIT NOW YOU MENTION THAT IT MAKES ALL SENSE, FUCK
I like Ezra ;_;
>>324385264
Still looks great, imho, especially when you compare it with shit like Avernum.
The graphics here may be basic, but they definitely have "personality".
The fact each NPC has a dedicated portrait that looks like his model, helps
>>324391606
>>324391618
Sure, if you have enough knowledge that place is easy. But new player wouldnt even know about mutated dog armor.
Something about an post apocalyptic rail system overrun by gangs and ruled by anarchy is really comfy
Depot A in my first run was hell, I had to cheese the shit out of it, because my build was so fucking spread thin.
>Run away >plant mines > lure with grenades
>pump every area full with molotovs
>>324392128
Most def, I just wish our house wasn't so lonely.
Sitting in our high-class house with buddies in a post-apocalyptic rail system ruled by anarchy?
Maximum comfy.
>>324392510
just buy yourself 2 Plasma Sentries, who patrol your house. ONLY 3100 CHARONS EACH
>>324391806
It was my first playthrough
>>324392980
You got lucky, what carried you was molotov and the fact that ai gets retarded when confronted with hazardous areas.
>>324392128
It's because some people in the game world are still nice, and are enjoyable to interact with.
Just because the world is shit, doesn't mean everyone living in it have to be shit as well.
Here's looking at you, AoD
but the real question is guys
ARE YOU HARDCORE?
AND IF YES, HOW HARDCORE ARE YOU?
>>324393491
This. It gets a little old in AoD. I understand being prudent but jesus christ, the only enjoyable person to talk to is the demon trapped in the tower for 300 years.
