You gotta walk around and find people with the yellow chat boxes so they can trigger on the map. One of Lins requires a certain pet in your barracks so, it might be that as well.

Hi I just wanna chime in and say no you do not have to hear about heart-to-hearts to find them, after doing Lao's first two and Murderess' first one without getting intel first

If you go back and talk to the NPC at the helicopter he'll tell you but it isn't recorded anywhere or marked on your map. Very old school design.

yeah it's kind of a waste to have only the one guy, it's like they acknowledge yes this accent was clearly preferable but we're going to stick with the bland voice actors we shoved in here.

Also could they really not think of anything better than "L" come on we're coming from Reyn Time and Dumb Ban and we get this poo poo. The character and story elements are so much worse it's lucky everything else is so much better.

Got bad Dragon Age 2 feels from the Murderess mission, I hate it when antagonists can just walk away for no good reason because the script says so, if I had my way she'd be rotting face down in a bog in Noctilum right about now. Do her affinity missions make her any less of an awful person?

no but they give you a psycho launcher art that makes you float in the air and beat the poo poo out of people with your bare hands.

It really is. Murderess is the worst though on a lot of levels. I like that the Curator head is like "so we have this Blade who has killed multiple Blades in cold blood, no one wants to work with, and literally calls herself The Murderess. I'm going to go ahead and keep letting her do her thing despite the fact that she is decreasing our manpower on a daily basis and we're on the brink of extinction instead of report her misconduct. I'm really good at my job."

And you can't even report or kill her because the game doesn't feel like letting you.

There's another character that pulls the same poo poo, even worse. Then your SILENT PROTAGONIST defends them automatically.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

So I'm on chapter 5 and what's the deal with this mission? I'm level 17 and supposed to take out level 16 turrets, but they're surrounded by level 20-40+ mobs of enemies? I was able to sneak in and take out one of the turrets on the north side of the chasm, but the other two are completely surrounded by poo poo way above my level.

Am I missing something or is this the game's way of telling me I need to do some lovely jrpg grind bullshit and come back later?

Do party member skells use fuel and just not give you any sort of indicator? I'm trying to figure out why they keep parking and exiting theirs in the middle of a fight.

It's entirely possible to dodge all the murder-mobs. I tried following the road south from the starting probe but there's a level 20-something blocking it, but it turns out you can do a big loop from the East to get to the remaining two turrets.

30 hours in and recently got my skell, this is basically the game I'd hoped Dragon Age 2 would be. Explorations owns, battles own, class system owns. There's a lot of little annoying, dumb decisions, but still game owns.

Sell the skell, buy a new one.

If you ever get down to 1 ticket retire that skell to be a permanent NPC Skell and get better at bailing before your skell dies, or running.

Public service announcement, somebody mentioned how crazy skell weapon augment stacking is and I didn't quite believe how cheap it could be. Turns out accuracy mods are made out of pig butts you've been collecting for 70 hours and monster subclass damage boosts are made out of the miscellaneous junk you've been collecting so you're actively working against yourself if you don't go turn all that poo poo into boosts that turn your skell into a terrifying beam scythe or gravity buster delivery system that can just print experience by killing level 50+ stuff the size of a house.
