Random thought, with all these lying "Successful Shot Percentage" readings... I dunno if it's been discussed already, but maybe it just doesn't count overwatch shots? Cause the only shots I missed on this last mission were all overwatch shots (dammit, Zaeed!), all the manual shots hit home. Successful Shot percentage: 100%.

If you mean the post-mission stats in the skyranger, that is definitely just for regular shots. People have beaten missions with just overwatch shots and grenades and that shows up blank.

I didnt think it counted overwatch at all. I had a mission where i overwatched it. (as in i didnt fire a single shot out of oeverwatch) The end screen showed damage done but it left the hit % blank, think it also left the top damage blank too.

I was blessed with Dong Zhang on my first playthrough. I didn't modify his person a touch because he was generated to perfection. Seriously looks like he'd be in some kind of chinese Predator knockoff. Dong Meltdown.

I had a 100% chance to refresh all my team's action points from a lamp post, so I made them all take up positions around the first pod, overwatch and all. I then shoot a propane tank next to the pod with my gunslinger to start the fight... and blow up the lamp post that was right next to it. I kinda forgot about that.

My favorite random name generation thus far was seeing the death of a civilian named Dong Wang while on Operation Hot Widow.Nordick posted:I was thinking about trying to make a voice pack of Caleb from the old FPS Blood, but to be honest this game probably needs WAY more clips than can be squeezed out of the source material to not be really repetitive. As to external soundfiles, anything ripped from TV/Movies/Games is extremely jarring ingame unless you're working from a high quality, clean source and can reasonably match the coms distortion effect they put on everything else. I abandoned some of my quick mod ideas because they sounded like boiled poo poo on ingame tests. Going to stick to doing my own voicework with as close to the matching distortion effect as I can manage. Internet Kraken posted:Does this voice pack include him screaming

Is there a hotkey to wait at a location? I'm getting a bug where I can't click the wait button when at HQ because the continent bonus is stealing the focus. Every time I try to click the wait button, the continent bonus description blocks me from doing it. along the way fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Feb 14, 2016 |

Is it worth it to spend 90 intel on an engineer at the black market? I have 4 and am in the early game yet, but obviously I could use 5 immediately, just not sure how scarce intel is going to end up being.

The most you need is around 8 for the whole game, but the sooner you get it, the better since that's extra supplies/alloy/crystals. Intel gets plentiful in the midgame, especially once you're forced to do skulljacks.

Just beat the game on Veteran Ironman! I didn't encounter any gamebreaking bugs, and I enjoyed the game a lot. It feels like a really solid improvement from XCOM: EU. I want to play another campaign on Commander or Legend now. Help.

I remember them being not so important in EU, I have 2 right now is it worth buying any of them or would it be best just to pick them up from mission rewards.

Up until the very end (and I suppose I kinda rushed the ending) I was always in need of an extra engineer. I didn't build a workshop until the very end too, so that made it much worse. On the other hand by the time I had the shadow chamber I had 3-4 research projects left and was feeling a bit silly for building my laboratory so early on (or at all, from what i've heard it's only needed on legend difficulty). e: I ended up with 6/6 engineers/scientists at the end.

I literally had nothing to research in like the last month or two in my completed run. Nothing you need to research is that important as the game goes on, and autopsies become instant whenever you kill enough of that enemy and other story stuff.

Given the choice, should I be grabbing Intel over supplies? It's probably cheaper buying engineers and scientists with Intel, right?

Captain Ironblood posted:Given the choice, should I be grabbing Intel over supplies? It's probably cheaper buying engineers and scientists with Intel, right? Supplies are very important in the early to early-mid game, because getting the next tier of weapons, armor, some extra stuff like a mimic beacon, key buildings like GTS/AWC/Proving Ground/etc. up are the real success. You're not guaranteed an engineer every time the black market resets.

The black market will sell you supplies for intel, at a pretty favourable rate. Always pick intel over supplies unless it's a ludicrous amount of supplies on offer, or if you're currently choked on supplies and have already bought the thing from the black market this month.

Well, it really depends on how much supplies and intel you have. If you're swimming in supplies, you'll want to spend that over intel on engineers if you're low on Intel. Honestly, I'd agree that scientists are FAR less important than they were even in enemy within. Engineers though... eventually you'll have enough, but that's late-lategame. Until then, there'll always be at least one open spot you're looking at going "I wanna fill that slot..."

I decided to watch Beagle's playthrough to see what I'm doing wrong, and I'm getting some good ideas at least as far as how to only engage one pod at a time. I had assumed that all the pods knew where you were once you broke stealth and would head to you this go around, as that had sort of been my experience, but I think it was some poor play on my part combined with really bad luck with pods being super close to each other. I had also forgotten the value of blowing up cover. I'm hoping he gets more into stealth as I keep watching, as that's something that I'm struggling with right now.
