Man, I feel like a horrible player right now. The Vexcaliber mission is just kicking my rear end, and the reset allllll the way back to the start is just gently caress-you icing on the poo poo cake.

Vexcalibur is great and going to get even better.

I didn't realize at first that it allows an on-demand void overshield for 10 seconds once you get some energy

I probably hosed things up by joining the exotic mission in progress and getting the gun without doing the quest

Vexcalibur makes The Variable significantly easier, yeah. Once you get the shield, you can just mash melee until there are no more enemies standing around. I don't remember exactly what the perk says and there's no way to check right now, but it also gets some kind of attack power boost at times so you can take out wyverns and hydras and cyclopses by doing this

having an overshield of any kind gives you a massive damage boost. this works for poo poo like OEM and other sources of overshield

Vexcalibur is especially silly on Strand Warlock. Pair it with Necrotic Grips, Volatile Flow, and the Shackle Grenade. Pick up orbs to get Volatile, eat your grenade so kills of any kind will suspend enemies near the one you killed, then stab things with the overshield buffed melee. You're spreading volatile and poison from Necrotic in one hit, and when those dudes explode they suspend everything around them and make that explode too, which generates more orbs, which means more volatile. Toss in that fragment that gives you woven mail when you grab an orb and you become an unstoppable blender :allears:

"Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."
Having just two people to defend an entier city is dumb. Chosing to make one of them a teenager with no expericne of anything is really dumb. Giving that teenager a lethal amount of body modification (and then I guess hoping they are a quick study) is irresponsible and unethical and dumb.

Finally finished the campaign. What the gently caress even happened there? Why do any of the vanguard think the traveller is dead? It’s right there! It’s such a non-sequitur ending.

It's not very well elaborated upon but none of the Ghosts can feel a connection to the Traveller anymore, and one of the Neomuna reporterman's lines refers to the triangle the Witness carved into it as an einstein-rosen bridge, suggesting that the Witness created that portal and took whatever is in the Traveller with it when it went inside.

Yeah it'd also be stupid to have a movie where a bus can't drop below 55mph or an fbi agent infiltrate a surfer gang that robs banks. Man glad no one's ever just made decisions because they thought it was cool

i still cackle every time i grapple myself to safety.

Just finished the campaign with a buddy and it's plays so tedious for some reason. I played through witch queen three times alone and once with a friend and didn't think twice about any of it whereas we decided to cheese calus at the end of lightfall just to get it over with. oh and i guess i forgot to talk to nimbus before headlong it didn't grant me progress or count towards my lightfall quest.

He has always babbled about Mark, but he's never been the focus of a storyline before so you wouldn't know it unless you spent a while chilling with him in the EDZ for no reason

Devrim has had a sniper bounty called “Marc’s Man” this whole time and there’s at least one Red War lore thing mentioning him. He and Marc raised Hawthorne.

I think there was a Tower scannable where Ghost mentions it. There is definitely a lore entry somewhere. I'll check Ishtar.

Interesting--thanks for digging that up.

Definitely seems like a post-facto decision rather than something set down by the time D2 launched. Wonder if it will ever get referenced or built on again--doesn't seem like Hawthorne has gotten any lines in forever
