I think the combat would be better if everything didn't feel so loving weird and floaty and slow. It feels like you're playing the game on a computer that can barely handle it, like at 20 fps. Occasionally when I try to use strike, it'll hit the wrong body part because it like lagged and selected the wrong area or whatever. I don't know why it performs so loving poorly but it really does effect the whole experience of playing the game

Other than the performance problems, if anything I felt combat was incredibly quick and lethal Must just come down to builds or something, but it was rare anything lasted more than a few turns past the early game, and that only got quicker as I got closer to the end Almost too much so, because in most cases getting ambushed was a reload as you'd lose half your loving party to the alpha strike in some fights

Natural 20 posted:I'm not sure I like the game really, but I think it's a game that's still worth playing if that makes any sense.  There's a lack of decent games this time of year, especially with everything getting delayed with everything going on. With that said, it's still fun enough to play through to the end, but I don't really want to play it again like other similar games.

I really dont want to let explosive run wild with his band of savages beyond the border but also dont want liberty to be a dictator after her old man is gone. Buchanan is an rear end in a top hat and probably i will have to fight him but Angela plan is insane. Whats this good writing? i need someone to kill a dog to know who are the bad guys

Main place I notice CtD is going from Inventory/Character screen. If you play 8 hours and no crash you are probably good to go. I’m hoping some of this lessens with a patch.

On the higher difficulties combat basically feels like rocket tag; on SJ past the very beginning of the game you kind of have to either pop enemies immediately or risk having squadmembers go down.

I wish I could reliably find linkages because putting fire on an extended range wide cone shotgun was fantastic for loving up the whole of creation until I needed a higher rank gun. I also had a explosive crossbow and it was really underwhelming, but I've been holding onto this Explosive Linkage for the entire game and I wonder if it's really worth using. Fire is great against fleshy things, energy is nice against metal, but is just making your Big Guns or something similar explosive really that helpful?

Depends on your background/quirk/other skills. Energy big guns with microwave research is probably better overall, and if you're going to minmax the game your explosive expert will quickly reach a point where he kills everything with one rocket anyway.

automatic weapons, explosives and sneaky poo poo are a great combo. you can lean pretty hard on the crossboom and an extended mag for a while, it's like giving every shithead on the map their very own grenade. doesn't explode 'til the end of the first turn but you're pretty much done after that. fun times.

drat it game is very good but very frustrating. I timed my load screens, 2 minutes from the start menu to get into the game, and a minute and a minute and a half for screen transitions. And if you get really messed up in a fight you either have to blow a bunch of consumables or wander off to the nearest doctor which is probably like 4 load screens there and back. Also I hosed myself over without even picking up on it. Level 9, I meant to make one Ranger my weapon modder and one my armor modder...somehow made them both armor modders and didn't pick up on it until right now. Don't know how I'm going to fix that poo poo.

It is very silly that to respec a character you need to delete them and then remake the exact same character but with everything fixed.

Errr, I made my original duo Gotrek and Felix, which is kinda funny cos you can make a short squat dude with a bright red mohican and the death wish quirk, however, I am finding that a purely melee strength character that can't wear armour at all does not translate well to a lot of fights. Is there any way to change or remove the quirk so I don't have to restart the game?

Turns out I'm using Lucia as my weapon modder so things arn't quite as bad as I feared. Still that's 6 skill points wasted. Which isn't great. Wonder if that's just worth scrapping the character and redoing him. Also intelligence is just '+x skill points total' yes? If so I went and made some more mistakes.

You can always dismiss and then make a new ranger if you want to 'respec', to everyone asking about it. It's effectively the same thing, and makes me wonder why they didn't just include a respec feature. Could have tied it into the cloning dude, even.

It definitely feels like a dump stat after you max out coordination and strength/perception

Seriously, the Int crit damage bonus is nuts and with the amount of crit chance you can stack on characters with helmets, scopes, cigs and drugs I'm leaning towards Intelligence being the primary damage stat on Supreme Jerk.

Dump was probably the wrong word, but I leveled int as my third priority stat behind coordination and your main damage stat. Not like it's hard to max all 3 before endgame.

I saw somebody having trouble with grenades. I've been messing around with them and it seems like the game wants to physically model the trajectory of the grenade and doesn't know how to get to where you want to throw the grenade a lot of the time when there's a ceiling above you.

Had this issue in the dentist clown encounter in the Bizarre. Character couldn't low-ball the item toss from directly under an arch, had to move into the open room to do an overhead throw.

One thing I will add is you should pick up that spoiler at least one playthrough. Mr Shiny Pants posted:Is there a perk to reclaim weapon mods? A scope is something that works on every weapon, and now I am just rebuying stuff all the time which I already have. No. Hopefully that changes one day as you could in W2. The Lone Badger posted:If I appoint someone to manage part of my base, is that permanent or can I change them out later? Perm. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Dump was probably the wrong word, but I leveled int as my third priority stat behind coordination and your main damage stat. Not like it's hard to max all 3 before endgame. Strike meter is really nice (it can win battles easy) but on some guys I sit at 2 still and do alright. Int I try at the very minimum to do 4 mainly due to crits. 6 is better but it is not a priority stat. Snipers get max awareness, high int and decent coord but 8 coord didn't mean they fired twice reliably but they could move to their perm position (if I hadn't gotten there yet), mark target, shoot and maybe pop a bot or turtle. Jodie is great at this and is a backup low level healer since my leader is doing a leadership perk. Melee? Str max, coord max and speed high with 6 int min. There is a two melee weapon perk that raises the speed by .5 that is ... quite nice. For explosives/big guns? I still put in a good str score as I don't want them dropping when they rush to get position. I've seen the combat lag sometimes on my XBone OG but it doesn't bother me overmuch. Seen the lag especially when precision strike is up. Definitely something inXile should fix. Also wish they could let you tweak the video settings some. Maybe lower the res of the animations in vid settings for systems like mine that might not handle the compression and whatnot as well as their devices. The CtD thing might also be helped with this and that can drive people crazy. I'm used to it when games first come out but many would hit either two or more and go scream on the web. Probably invoking Hitler, mothers or something awful.That would drive away people looking to buy the game and most of us in the thread don't want that. Other things I would add if it was me More perks. Add some passive perks in there too for some branches. I'm thinking more for leadership and the convo skills. A perk that lets you raise one of those rear end skills by +1 would do. On perk talk: more stabby/slashy perks under melee. I want attacks of opportunity and samurai back. Backgrounds. The +1 convo or perception (like Mannerite) backgrounds are kinda lame. Even a +2 would be better and it's still just a minor boost. The +1 perception? Maybe a +2 to sneaky poo poo. I really like most of the backgrounds. Quirks. I like them but some of them are never going to be used as they are lame. The no armour one is terrible, for example. Sadomasochist is nice as its a nice boost with a brutal penalty. Mods. Have them be able to be removed or make them easier to find and cheaper to buy. I'd prefer to be able to remove them like in W2. Also a nozzle for your flamethrower that narrows the cone but makes it longer distance. Int - still would have added a skill point plus at some point. Maybe at int 6 you get a skill point at every other level, 8 you get 1 a level and 10 you get 2 every other level. Yeah combined with poindexter you could make super skill monkey. Pet talk: rez pet perk would be nice. Or the ability to send your animals to a pen if you want to dismiss them. Yes, I admit I am mainly thinking of Major Tom though he should, if dismissed, find a perch atop your massive war room computer as its warm and he's a jerkcat. Pet armour? Also a perk maybe to get pets to toggle non aggressive and aggressive? I've had times pets just sit there when I'm getting chewed up and could use a friend and other times they charge headfirst into a gunline. Note: pushing pets out of the way with your vehicle does make them passive (mostly). For my ultimate stoner dream DLCs: More from Cochise AI refugees. Also take a note from NV and make another faction (doesn't have to be new) that gives you a complex choice endgame path as well as more rep and quests. Bototariats Unite! Seriously a funny Union of Botiat Socialist Republics ending would amuse me.edit 2: Have the guy that makes songs with floppy drives do the public domain USSR anthem and play that during the whole ending. edit 3: holy poo poo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW_djIPTVcU edit: socialsecurity posted:Well it makes sense, I know when I install a scope or magazine on my gun in real life it's impossible to use it on another gun ever.
