Robot dogs that ran around dispensing buffs and mauling ayyys would be cool as hell and the customization options would be adorable

Would I be wrong in assuming that the four new weapons are each meant for one of the primary classes?quote:[...]the Bolt Caster, a high damage single-shot weapon; the Hunter’s Axe, a powerful new blade weapon that can be thrown at enemies or used to dispatch foes at close range; the ShadowKeeper pistol, which has the Shadowfall ability that is guaranteed to hit and will place its user in concealment if the enemy is killed; and the Frost Bomb grenade, which is able to temporarily freeze targets. ShadowKeeper and the Hunter's Axe are clearly for Sharpshooters and Rangers, respectively. Frost Bomb is the Grenadier weapon, but might be available for everyone since it is a grenade. That would make the Bow Caster a Specialist weapon, though it sounds better at the hands of a Sharpshooter.

From a gameplay perspective the new weapons seem cool, but from a setting perspective having literally magic weapons is kinda weird.

Moola posted:Sounds neat A lot of the equipment sure, but the soundwork and animation stuff should both be reliably solid and fit in with the game aesthetic. Throw in cutscenes with the right VA's and the fact that a throwing melee weapon is a cool thing that would require some trickery to rig up and I'd say it's worth it. I mean sure, most of it could be modded in, but you could say that about just about any dlc they make, theirs just comes with a realistic expectation of both professional quality and actually getting finished.

Let's get real here, they'd never really do anything that's of any greater scope than 'just a mod', because they aren't looking to break the game, nor change its mechanics in any major way. Professional assets plus a finished and supported mod is pretty much what DLC. Meanwhile I've been breaking the game with reckless abandon with WaveCOM, an idea of Beagle's I've adopted, where you take on waves of enemies and get to research, buy & loadout in between waves. It's actually not far off playable although there's some nasty visual bugs still to fix, just have to figure out how to push the force level up as the waves progress so eventually you're facing Gatekeepers & Avatars if you last long enough. I think it'll be a really good way to test new tactical mods, classes and so on, as it means being able to quickly fight to an end game state without the need for a full campaign.

Huh. Wearing the armor of an alien ruler intimidates aliens of that race? That's interesting. I wonder what it does specifically, but that's pretty cool.

I also like the unique equipment aspect. It'll incentivize bringing multiple classes and having 1 weapon/2 subweapon/1 item and 3 suits of armor to pass around is cool. Though goddamn does the pistol sound broken as gently caress.

Quick question: does anyone know if Scientists are intrinsically less likely to show up as rewards/hire-ables than Engineers? I assume that Engineers are more likely to appear, but I could be mistaken.

From my experience, yes. Or at least, in the early game, you want supplies and engineers more than scientists, so your eyes glaze over when they show up as rewards. As for never miss pistol, whatever. The Trooper mod class has a talent that gives them a 3-turn cool down never miss shot. Them and Officers are the only really cool mod classes I've seen so far, even if their roles kind of overlap if you have one of each in a squad.

I feel it really depends on the game, I've had games where I did not seen an engineer to hire or as a reward for anything until 2.5-3 months in, it was awful.

This doesn't feel accurate, your first Geurrilla Op will always reward an engineer, the first Council Mission will always reward a Scientist. From there if you expand you'll get enough mission chances to get the rewards you're after. Also the game gives you heaps of ways to mitigate bad luck via the Resistance HQ and the Black Market.

Yeah, but 1 engineer really doesn't cut it and I can easily see them just discounting that from their story. That or they lost that mission and got super unlucky with their recruitment options.
