I read a lot of stuff on the Final Fantasy X entry about Kihmari, and I think it's missing a very useful thing you can do with Kimahri: spend the first two Level 1 Key Spheres you get on him to take him down Rikku's path to get very early access to Steal and Use (I personally do this right after getting most or all of the stuff on his part of the grid, at the very least grab the Strength and HP stuff). Even after Rikku joins you, the ability to steal and use special items is so useful that I think having two characters with them makes a lot of sense. Plus Rikku has a lot of useful nodes on her part of the grid anyway.

Another spoiler-y reason this is a good idea (does a 10+ year old game still need spoilers?): he has a solo fight where both opponents have valuable items

Mayor McCheese posted:These two were the most glaring: The second bit could be worded better to make it more useful, but a bit of information about character creation couldn't hurt. I'll try: - When you create a character, their physical attributes have minor effects. Heavy characters regenerate stamina a bit more slowly than lighter ones, but use less stamina when using special attacks and can carry more weight before being encumbered. It's also harder for them to be carried off by certain flying enemies. "Average" weight is 70-89kg. Shorter characters have a shorter reach in melee combat, but are also smaller targets for an enemy's attacks. Random Hajile fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jan 21, 2016 |

One thing I noticed for Fallout 4, If you make a sniper rifle (or find maybe I made mine) you have to HOLD the left stick to hold your breath (which lowers AP as long as you hold it) clicking it and letting go doesn't do anything.

The next spot is quite a ways away, IIRC.

Yes, this totally screwed me up. Whatever your bash/grenade button is must be held, draining AP for as long as your hold your breath.

Anything for Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath? I picked up the whole cheap Oddworld bundle and there's nothing on the Wiki for any of them, so while I don't plan on playing any of the other games if there are any helpful tips for them, too, other people may appreciate them.

Tylana posted:Yes, this totally screwed me up. Whatever your bash/grenade button is must be held, draining AP for as long as your hold your breath. This reminds of another important FO4 bit; gun bash and throw grenade/mine are tied to the same button. Tap it to bash, hold it for a second until you hear a click then release it to throw a grenade. Corollary: do not gun bash. Sooner or later, you will throw a grenade at a foe two feet away when you means to bash, and blow yourself up. Instead, just carry a small melee weapon and switch to it to deal with weak foes. Pickman's Blade is great.

Count Chocula posted:Anything for Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath? The main focus of the game is to collect enough money to pay for an operation. Despite how the entire game is seemingly structured, do not agree to the operation until you have finished everything you want to get done, bought as many upgrades you want, and done all the bounties you can stomach. Getting in the boat to go to the operation is the point of no return, and the game undergoes a rather large shift in gameplay for the remaining 1/2-1/3 of the game. Money has no value or purpose after this point, so spend freely prior to getting the operation.

Try to take everyone alive. You'll have a much less frustrating time doing this than desperately scrounging for money at the end of an act.

I stroll into the air vents, tap the trigger on my dart gun twice, and both dudes are out forever.

Ahundredbux posted:Just sneak past them to avoid making a mess My usual playstyle's to go sneaking past the general 9-5 guards unseen, just because it's not their fault I'm there, and quietly knock out anyone else for others to deal with later. The soldiers bursting into the Alice Garden Pods with machineguns all mysteriously died from armor-piercing silenced pistol rounds though  .Also as general Deus Ex HR advice; All you need to get through 90% of the game is the starting 10mm pistol. Get yourself the silencer and armor-piercing upgrades, then start popping heads because even the big scary heavy-machinegun guys die in one shot.

My tip is to not play those games this way unless you hate yourself. For games ostensibly about making choices and playing your own way, it seems like a lot of people unironically insist that it's the best and only way to play. Dishonored is especially awkward because AFAIK like 90% of your arsenal is made for killing dudes in super cool ways. At least HR is already hilariously slanted towards non-lethal stealth due to dumb design decisions. Keeshhound posted:At least not the first time through. Yeah, that.

I tend to gravitate towards no-kills no-alarms in games where that's an option, but just murdering the poo poo out of everyone in Dishonoured is (a) a totally valid way to play and (b) also fun as hell. Same goes for the original Deus Ex. DXHR leans on you really heavily to play stealthy nonlethal, though.

The best way to play any Deus Ex game is to be stealthy right up to the point where you get detected or poo poo hits the fan, then kill your way out of it without saving ever.

Dishonored, the original Deus Ex, and DX;HR all did a good job of giving the player a choice; guns blazing, stealthy killer, or invisible ghost. I especially like how Dishonored even allowed you to take care of the mission target without killing him, although often that was extra difficult. Personally I took the sneaky assassin route every time.

The big problem with Dishonoured was the random charms. If your first was "choke completes quicker" on your no kill play through that benefitted more than any other charm in the game.

How was anything in Dishonored "extra difficult"? You're basically God in that game just with Blink and Slow time. Everything else is just for extra fun.
