Not knocking the game itself, but this sounds like it was written by the laziest guy in your D&D group

Ha ha, the rest of the cast has this long speech about empathy and helping humanity, blah blah blah and the snake women's motivation is just "Jail was boring and sucked".

I really hope one of the first mods that comes out is a cel-shading shader to make the whole game match the cutscenes. That could be really cool.

This whole game is about providing Firaxis a shitton of customer data on what kinds of playstyles people prefer in some substantially more controlled scenarios.

So we're gonna get XCOM 3: Sneks in The City, A Visual Novel is what you're saying?

Considering one of the lines of dialogue I have seen in the game, the Aliens have no room to complain.

Yeah, in general most people seem to be at the 'everything was hosed, we're just gonna blame the Elders for it stage' and kind of sweeping it mostly under the rug. Even Bradford is grudgingly onboard with having aliens join XCOM and mostly just moving on.

Which is where all the dissident groups causing trouble come from! 2/3 of the main groups of bad guys are Aliens and Hybrids who don't want to assimilate and the last is a group of human psychic supremacists.

I think there is enough warcrimes on both sides that need to be forgiven for the world to move forward.

I thought it was pretty distasteful to tell one of my Colonels that I was going to cut off their arms and legs so they can pilot a death robot in Enemy Within, but that didn't stop me from sending 3 MEC Paladins to the Temple Ship.

Playing Enemy Within while I wait for the unlock.

Fuckin' weird not having the fatigue system, I'm too used to it now. No reason to not field the dream team until I buy the OTS Will Up purchase, and the amount of things your units can do early on feels bizarrely low. Shoot, or maybe throw a grenade, or overwatch, and that's about it.

Man looking up EU/EW's perk trees is a trip

I forgot how hilariously lopsided all the heavy choices were. And how all the good perks were mid tier with the capstone's being largely filler.

No, she means "take care" as in "kill".

Torque's entire thing is that she's racist towards ship-born aliens, and that only the ones born on Earth like herself deserve to live here.
