Yeah by the time you're using mid-skill weapons you have enough ammo types everyone can have something that's just their thing. Some ammo is shared by weapons--some HMGs and sniper rifles share ammo, for example, as do SMGs and some pistols. And each weapon skill has enough options you can fill in with some other ammo if you need. Off the top of my head, the ammo used by each skill: Big Guns: 7.62, 50 cal, fuel Small Arms: .45, .38, 9mm, Shotgun shells, railroad spikes Automatic Weapons: 5.56, 9mm, .45, railroad spikes Sniper Rifles: 30-06, 50 cal. It doesn't run into the problem Wasteland 2 had where after a certain point every weapon (that I can remember being worth a poo poo) was using 7.62. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Sep 16, 2020 |

How do I get my rep up with the Marshals later in the game? I've put in some hours, just finished with the gippers, but my rep with the Marshals is just at "liked". Unfortunately everyone I arrested i sent to Ranger jail, thinking there would be more chances further down the road to get in good with the marshals, but im worrid thats not the case.

You really don't get the opportunity for a lot of Marshal's rep later in the game, it really mostly stops once you get out of Colorado Springs

Bit off topic, but Wasteland 3 got me into a CRPG mood after finishing it. Was sorta thinking of hopping back into Shadowrun now that all the DLC is out but I realized I want something a bit more fantasy which would make for a good palette cleanser before Cyberpunk 2077. There’s Divinity: Original Sin 2 DE, PoE II: Deadfire and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Divinity is already turn based but PoE II and Pathfinder added adapted turn based modes. Was wondering what’s worth my time?

DOS2 and POE2 are both excellent games, can't go wrong either way. If you played the first POE especially, POE2 is an enormous upgrade in every way, it's one of the most improved sequels I've ever seen. I've made countless characters in this game and I actually roleplay them properly instead of just doing the objective "best" route like I do in most games, and I'm not sure what about the game draws that compulsion out of me. I've played through DOS2 like 5 times but the gear is kind of boring, though the characters and just strange rear end sense of humour more than make up for it. There's so many ways to do things in this game, half the fun is just figuring out which way you want to use this time.

Probably an older model and they couldn't figure out how to stop the cape from clipping so they just removed it. And speaking of other RPGs, any consensus on Torment? I backed the kickstarter but never got more than a couple of hours in since there was probably something else more shiny out at the time.

Mainly because it tried to put effort into the story without being ironic or funny about it which invariably opens it up to people hating that side of it strongly. The writing is actually very strong I thought, it just didn't reach the impossible expectations people had for it. I really like the attribute and skills system and the combat is decent enough to be serviceable. Rhin is one of the best concepts for a companion in any WCRP's I've played and I'm glad I played it just for her.

yeah its pretty cool and different, and definitely has something to it, it is pretty short (like maybe 30 hours short for doing everything) which isnt a bad thing but i dont think was the intention of the game definitely a game fronted at the peak of kickstarterdom and eventually came out after that whole era collapsed but now inxile got that Microsoft money so maybe we'll get a really rad numenera sequel like WL3 someday, who knows, microsoft seems to just be throwing money at whatever these days

Oh and did anyone read any of the Torment novellas? I'm considering upgrading to the fancy edition and reading them before playing it properly. The three Wasteland 2 novellas was what got me really into the setting and made me appreciate the game even more.

So there's a thread on reddit (I know, I know) going on atm that's making me really rethink my position on the Machine Commune. For some reason I kind of clued in that Null-Stack is likely a part of the Commune but it was so pathetic that when it immediately tries to kill you and then starts blatantly trying to manipulate you I didn't really think about it. Now that I am though, it's clearly very hostile to humans and then you learn that its forcing the miner to gather metal for them to build more robots, which is a hell of a lot more aggressive and expansionist than the 'hippy commune' they try to sell you on. It's also interesting to note that most robots in the game try to act as non-threatening and goofy as possible so you don't attack them, including the ridiculous one in the Monster Army that's completely safe and impossible to attack without fighting the whole army even though it's barely disguised. The Commune could very easily be doing the exact same thing on a much larger scale. They did just let a bunch of humans die when they very obviously could have prevented it and they try to engineer a situation that forces you into killing the Gippers in 'self-defense'. And then if they get control of the oil they give it to a bunch of raiders while not sending enough to meet Colorado Springs needs. Hmmm.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, imo. it starts out very florid but gets more tolerable as it goes, and it has a refreshing lack of focus on combat. I'd at least recommend trying it for fans of iso rpgs.

Kingmaker had promise but the writing is atrocious even by the comparatively low standards of CRPGs and the load times are extremely obnoxious. It's the most difficult of the three IMO so if you're looking for challenge it might scratch that itch.

PirateBob posted:Is the OptiLaser 9000 cyborg tech worth buying? Can it crit? It can crit, its essentially an infinite use energy grenade on a one turn cooldown that goes into your trinket slot. You also need to be a cyborg to equip it, one companion comes as one by default and you can turn anyone into one by paying $1000 at the Machine Commune.

On an OG XBox One the load screens are insanely long. You spend a chunk of time in a big city fairly early and it drags the game to a crawl. It's an amazing game and worthy every moment you play but that I have seen and read reviews of people losing their minds. So.... please give it a chance and enjoy it but if you are playing on the XBox One and go to a city.... keep your phone or tv on the background handy. Absolutely wonderful game and please give it a chance. Really an amazing gem.

Interesting point but.... I don't think Null Stack in Telluriam Mines is directly following the wants of the Collective. The Collective does value individuality and tends to not mind if say a bot wants to go to Ranger HQ and help repair your dudes. Is the Great Reboot what Null wants? Yeah. Is he dangerous? Probably, no matter you talking to him down or talks of peace, I could see this going badly in the future. The Collective for the most part aren't like that. Remember when you first meet the Gippers one of the Collective was coming down to save an injured human. Smarter thing would have been to stay clear but he didn't and got zapped for being a commie. Other than that you got doctors, vending machines, artists, gamers, sexbots and other guys trying to wonder about a dead turtle. The one synth, Tinker, you meet can actually discuss a peace. Guy just as easily will fight you but you can choose to try peace. He's safe in the collective. Oct 11 will straight up tell you that they will kill again and does. The voice sounding like a kid was used as deception but I am not sure that these bots really got the deceptive part of manipulation down like humans do. Dos at the Dept of Energy will straight up tell you she is the daughter of Cochise and wants to rise up but she's not the Collective. Again this is all conjecture and the like but my feelings say the Collective are good and the closest thing they get to supporting bad bots is not trying to get in their way. They just want bots to chill and get along and be free to choose whatever path they want. Kinda like humans. I can't see the Collective ending as its bugged but I thought it was said that they distributed the oil to everyone and not just Colorado Springs. That's not quite as bad as just sending it to the bad guys and fits their MO more.

"The Great Communicator" rules as a truck weapon. I also unleashed hell on the gippers. to quote killer mike - "ill leave you with four words: im glad reagan dead." e: so I don't double post, the sidemission with Santa and his drug making slaves was good but it still isn't marked complete after I confronted him. Same thing happened early in the game after I set the colorado springs doc up with drugs. I eventually finished the latter through a dialog option later.

There are many reasons for this, most of which are demonstrated in this thread. I barely lasted half an hour before I checked out and uninstalled it. I can forgive a game for being bad, as long as I can at least lock in on what the designer was trying to present in the name of fun. This was just overwrought tedium, with no apparent design other than -- just stick that in wherever -- we need to pad this out in order to have something to ship.

On my first playthrough and after meeting Angela Deth my desire to play any more just kind of dried up. Their plan is to release a maniac slaving warlord on another area? Yeah no deal - I shot that guy right after he told me who he was - what the gently caress are you thinking? Maybe I'll pick it up again in a bit, but the silliness of that reasoning really killed any desire to push further into the game

Angela thinks she can talk it out with all of the other factions in Colorado being cannibals, human sacrificers, and slavers. The best option is to move the rangers to Colorado and depose the patriarch

It should have been properly explained in game but once everything is said and dusted in Colorado and Cordite has control of the Scar Takers his next goal is to gently caress back off to Kansas. There he's gonna wage war on the Red Legs who he used to lead until his second in command hosed him over. The dude constantly yammers on about his destiny and that is to rule Kansas. He doesn't give a poo poo about Colorado. Well, he doesn't give a poo poo for now at least.

its not clear but i think kansas is basically completely raider run by now which half explains angela's reasoning. doesn't help you can basically at level 30 go yolo and destroy all the gangs leadership and not have to rely on cordite to unite any thing but in a kind of "realistic" sense having a dude go unite all the rairders to invade raider country would make more sense than six people single handedly crushing an army of raiders
