I know it's all just automated, but I couldn't help feeling a little nervous for a second when GMG emailed me a voucher for xcom 2 a few days after I just bought xcom 2.

Speedball posted:Aaah, yes, now I remember why I didn't like Massive Chalice. I did like how they handled differentiations between melee and ranged; melee never 'misses', they just get glancing blows instead, which I thought made up quite well for the risk of being up close and personal - whereas ranged do have the advantage of distance at the downside of being able to miss attacks completely. Well, I liked the general idea of it - not sure how well it went in execution, though. If melee in Xcom 2 dealt glancing blows on a miss roll, that could possibly give sword rangers the edge they need.

Something people may want to set before beginning their campaigns - apparently one of the INI files will have a setting to ensure all your starting rooks are from the character pool. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/43wx8u/if_youre_planning_on_using_the_character_pool/

True enough, but I mean, like, just starting out you've got grenades that can miss, crossbows that miss 50% of the time at five tiles away and so on. I love the aesthetic of the game and some of the ideas they have are pretty neat too. Insidious enemies like ones that drain XP from your troops or age them (for those who don't play, MC is a game that takes place across decades, an aged hero is a lot less useful in the long run).

Melee is an inherently super high risk maneuver because you're deliberately giving up safer ground in order to deal damage. You're basically never going to commit to it unless you're positive you're going to kill the target, because running into melee with a dude and then leaving them alive to take a turn means that your guy is going to get hosed. If there's a random chance that your guy is gonna do 5 damage when you planned for him to do 10, I'd rather just not commit to the super dangerous melee maneuver in the first place. I don't think sword melee should be able to miss, considering how with intelligent use of explosives and concealment it seems to be pretty drat easy to achieve 90%+ hit rates with guns that do similar or superior damage at ranges beyond arm's length. Skulljack melee is a different story because that instantly kills the target as opposed to just doing damage.

Has anyone who picked up from GMG got their code yet? I assume not but I guess I'm being paranoid.

Looking through wiki info, how old is An-Yi Shen supposed to be? They designed her to look like she's 21, but if she was 15 when the aliens first attacked she should be pushing forty now E. drat son, I looked them up.

Do we have any confirmation on how the awc bonus perk works with respeccing? Also, is it in any way retroactive, or will this be the new "toss every recruit before iron will?"

Nazi scientist Dr. Vahlen is alive and working on the 'avatar project' for the aliens, she jumped at the chance to continue her horrific unethical gene research with all of ADVENT's resources, she's responsible for the Pectoids, and in the mission where you raid her base, she warns the ADVENT troopers not to use explosives because they need a live resistance member to interrogate.
