what i dont get is if im supposed to sell and buy parts no consequence to make my mech why are they two separate menus it would be way better if i could just toggle the whole armory as either bought or in stock from one screen

yeah it'd be nice to pop into it instantly but it makes sense that the equipment menu would be different

i gotta take advantage of AC data a bit better so i can just easily swap between the builds im using the most. i'm thinking of making a super heavy tank build but i'm scared of giving up my ultralight frames and dodging pretty much anything

The Underdark isn't as exciting as the forest and I find myself wanting to make a second character before finishing the first one to reclaim the high of the start of the game (I did this with Elden Ring too and eventually finished with both characters and almost a third)

I went barbarian the first time around because I've never played one in d&d and my instinct is to go rogue for char #2 (I go rogue all the time), but am willing to reconsider. Is there A Certain Build which is generally accepted as most fun or most broken or which I'd otherwise be missing out on if I didn't make one?

There are no bard party members (other than Volo who I am beginning to suspect isn't actually playable) and no bard hirelings either (unless I missed one). Is Bard fun? What if I made like one of the jock bards that use swords

No Druids either, just yet anyway. I can't play as Halsin yet but he's gotta be playable eventually right???

e: or Monks or Paladins but those seem boring to roleplay as, or Rangers, but, Rangers

I think I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make a sword bard. My barbarian is full of righteous anger and does the right thing but roars at people a lot; the sword bard will be full of joy and a big sweetheart who also fights with a sword. Thinkin elf. If you make a bard do you get to choose an instrument or do they all just kinda shout poetry like Volo?

e: seriously, roaring has solved a lot of problems for the barbarian

You get to choose an instrument and all your spellcasts/inspirations have a little sting from that instrument.

Also if you go lore there's a bunch of unique insults recorded for when you hit someone with cutting words. Vicious Mockery also, but who uses that

lick my keys
you get to choose an instrument, it's cool

i was a sword bard but decided to switch to caster bard, the sword moves you get are cool but it seems like they're basically always on cooldown (i'm still at lvl 4 so maybe this gets a lot better later)

caster bard is fun throwing buffs around and such and then making fun of somebody so bad they die

yeah the ac6 soundtrack is not very poppy. there's only one hook that's stood out to me and it's the robot chorus boss fight thing. seems to be a leitmotif because that choral hook is repeating throughout the game so far

Steam Strategy game sale is up but the picking seem kinda slim - nothing jumped out at me. I was gonna pick up some Cities Skylines DLCs but they weren't included in the sale, which strikes me as off because this may well be their last chance to sell something before #2 is released.

bard or paladin is teh clear choice imo. bard for obvious dialogue and vengence paladin gotta have some renegade voice lines right?

theres a monk build that does 300damage per attack but you need to know what items to get

"Firearm specialization" seemed to help with keeping my targeting on enemy ACs in arena matches that jump around a lot. I was having an issue with my targeting snapping off of the enemy when they moved around too much, and equipping the arms with high firearm specialization seemed to help.

It's interesting to know that arms can also affect recoil, though. What exactly constitutes recoil in this? Is that when your mech is forced to stop when firing certain weapons (or charged shots)? Or does it also affect something like the consistency of your shots with the gatling gun?

You have to stop firing because of the built in reload cool down on weapons. It applies to all weapons and you can see how long it takes to reload them by the bars around the aiming circle.
