It separates the enemy roll into 3 so you get less bullshit like getting crit by a guy who's disoriented while you're in full cover.

Mukip posted:So I have all the DLC, but some of the "optional narrative content" options (shen's gift and alien hunters) are grayed out for me. Is that normal? you have to turn off the integrated option probably. with integrated on you don't get any of the story missions added from those dlcs.

RBA Starblade posted:How do the lost actually work? I used remote start to try and find the chosen assassin on a rescue vip resistance op (she's camping the vip so it's impossible lmao), and it drew in a lost horde and twenty lost from the entire map. The next turn spawned another ten. Half have 6 hp. The Lost need ladders to climb and their only attack is a point-blank melee swipe. Climb a ladder, park right at the top, shoot down at them for days. Plus, height advantage bonus to your aim!

I haven't played the last couple DLC (rulers and sparks) so I was really looking forward to it all being together. Maybe I'll restart my campaign to do that since i'm only a few hours in... I was having so much fun in my current campaign though

All the content is still there in Integrated DLC, it just doesn't get its own missions anymore. The developers thought that the early game was getting a bit crowded with special events and super-long scripted missions, so they tried to change up the content from the previous expansions to introduce it in a more gradual and less demanding way.

The totally 100% intuitive I swear method to disable rulers is to enable the Alien Hunters DLC and then never do the Viper King's mission.

Does modding remove the ability to get achievements? I'm mainly just about adding hats and the 'standard' stuff like Don't Waste Me Time and Instant Avenger Menus.

I've been getting a pretty extreme Tetris effect from this (as happened with XCOM1) and last night I had a dream where I was playing the game but all of Bradford's radio barks were replaced by lines from Twin Peaks' Gordon Cole. I've decided that this is a prophecy

God dammit my first reaper/skirmisher mission is bugged. One of my guys died but the evacuation zone keeps saying that I can't finish the mission until all 6 members are in it even though I only have 5 live troopers. Maybe the soldiers are just refusing to leave unless they bring their buddy's corpse with them

Sultan Tarquin posted:Why did these lads need me again? I swear these resistance fighters do better than me. My very first retaliation mission in my very first expansion game had me activate all three god drat pods and the faceless from one dumb move. Then the resistance fighters killed all of the aliens who rushed out of cover to shoot civilians, and I won the mission. Then I lost that game, started a new one, did not get that mission setup, and had a Bad Time retrieving individual boxes of loot from a map where the aliens would take two for every one that I marked. Also, I learned that marking a box breaks concealment, that was nice.

Having the resistance fighters actually be somewhat capable is a really nice addition. The fact in vanilla that the only competent soldiers on the planet all work for XCOM is really dumb and undermines the idea that the resistance is larger than just you.

A good mod would be the ability to invest in areas to up the equipment of the rebels on the ground so that they could take care of attacks on their own.

Anyone feel the new autopsies items are really terrible? All are consumed on use while costing quite a bit. I think they should be like mimic beacon instead for them to be competitive. (one is a consumable conceal, one is a one use sustain.)

PantsBandit posted:Having the resistance fighters actually be somewhat capable is a really nice addition. The fact in vanilla that the only competent soldiers on the planet all work for XCOM is really dumb and undermines the idea that the resistance is larger than just you. Yeah, it was a really pleasant surprise having competent resistance fighters show up in my first terror mission. I really love the new aspect the Chosen add to the game. I assume it's random which one you run into first, and I'm contending with the Assassin in my starting region. Just had a rescue mission where I had to extract an Engineer (and, optionally, revive and extract a Cpl ranger) away from a horde of Lost. Would have been straight forward... except for the Assassin showing up just before I got to them. Several turns later, my Specialist was laying in the street bleeding out, but had revived the ranger, the Lost had gotten in several hits on the Assassin. My squad + the VIP + my new ranger extracted from the mission, with my other ranger having struck down the Assassin. The specialist sacrificed his life to save them. 1 KIA, 0 other injuries. Absolutely nailbiting. The after-mission report said I killed 62 enemies. Easily one of the highest body-counts I've seen in XCOM 2, especially so early in the game (I'm almost done researching magnetic weapons) loving awesome. (I'm playing on Commander. Not on Ironman but I don't savescum, I just sometimes do really stupid things when I'm high and need to back up 15-20 minutes)

How do chosen weaknesses actually work? The assassin one in my game has weakness to reapers and attacks from above. So I shot her with a reaper who was two levels above her and she took 4 damage from the 3-4 damage rifle the reaper carries. Which, frankly, seems pretty poo poo for having taken advantage of both weaknesses.

The sustain one is ok I think, give you an emergency save on a key trooper.

My Assassin has a weakness to Reapers and with Mag weapons my Reaper hits her for about 10 a shot, sounds like yours is bugged somehow. Maybe the weaknesses accidentally cancel each other out somehow, try not being above, or shooting from above with a normal soldier and see if it works. If so, file a bug report so they'll fix it. I have learned from Xcom and Xcom 2 never to play your first run through on Ironman. Wait a month or so for them to get in there and fix all the major bugs and then do your ironman run. Nothing is as infuriating as losing your A team to a game breaking bug and not being able to do anything about it. EDIT: Also, it says my bonded pair can level up their bond, but I can't find anywhere to do that.

I think somethings are a little broken with WOTC, I just did a facility mission where I used a reaper to spot for two sharpshooters, picking off pods without them moving into range of anyone, and the Archon King just sat there while my reaper exploded everything in the facility he was sat in, and my sharpshooters whittled him down. I also just did a civilian protection mission where rebel fighters were doing 6 damage per shot, and killed more aliens than I did, even the chosen.

Yeah I think they made the right call, the early game was crowded enough if you play with the tutorial and the lost and abandoned mission on. But if you turn those off then it wouldn't hurt to turn off integrated DLC.

I'm getting so many breakthroughs and inspirations that I'm pretty sure it's still a waste of time to get the lab. I had to stop taking them so I could start researching comms and predator armor. I only got 99 bucks this last supply drop.

I'm playing ironman and it is good. i have a hard time resisting savescumming, which ends up in me having way less fun, so ironman takes that out of the equation. But I will probably have my entire campaign ruined at some point by a bug or spectacularly bad RNG.
