In a game that includes a Space Marine he may not be the biggest bruiser, but the only ride or die on my team is Abelard. If only because of the man's perfect ability to respond to "Abelard, announce me." as like 30 people are dead and a demon has popped into reality or some such.

I mean, the only disadvantage per se is that you're using a pistol instead of a longarm. And if you're usually staying at range then one of those is probably better. But if you've found some really cool pistol you want to use then you might as well just stick a melee weapon in the other slot since it's not like you take any penalties for doing so.

I appreciate the meatier combat and character building compared to BG3, which felt like it had way less interesting decisions to make in both (even when it came to like, the creative stuff you could do in battle once you know the tricks it felt pretty samey.) But god I can't play this game too long or my brain starts to melt looking after all the numbers in a while lol. I went with a pyscker officer for my main lady which feels like it has a lot of overlap with people I got in my party already. But on the other hand everything that combination does is fun so it doesn't bother me much~

You can probably differentiate that pretty well; officers are pretty good to overlap with because free turns are good, and they all share Voice of Command for making sure you can hand out those free turns. And the psykers themselves have lots of differentiation options in what domains they grab--biomancy, telepathy, pyromancy, and the like. Where you'll feel officer overload is in the specialization archtype. Vanguard probably isn't what you want unless you were doing something funny with a frontline melee officer, and Grand Strategist feels underwhelming. Which leaves Master Tactician--perfectly acceptable and has good selfish options too, but will probably feel samey if you have like three of them in the group or something.

Can someone explain what is happening in this image? Idira is in heavy cover, the enemy is in the square across it. Cover clearly counts otherwise it would not be listed in the skill check. The enemy has 99% hit roll, there's a 10% chance to hit cover(???), Idira's dodge is reduced to 6%(lasgun I guess?), she isn't under any debuff effects and the enemy wasn't under any buffs. It looks like the only reason he even missed one shot was from the "strong deviation" as a result of burst fire. Heavy cover is listed as being 65% chance to hit cover instead, where is the 55% reduction coming from? Being on the other side of the square? Because I've been in the exact same situation and seen way worse odds.

Anyone know if it's possible to rotate the grand strategist zones? It's a pain to get thrn set up properly sometimes. AI allies hitting friendly fire is one of the more annoying things I'm dealing it. In the mission to recruit Jae she used a burst attack from behind Abelard and Henrix which killed them both.

When landing on Janus, I made a joke to a friend that the governor couldn't manage a simple rebellion, and was at the same time consorting with xenos. Next thing she's going to tell me is that she's got a trade deal lined up with Slannesh she wants to run by me. After meeting and fighting the Farseer, I think my joke may have been a bit on the mark.

If you want to be operative melee, maybe more doddgetank, I'd consider telepath/biomancer more. If you want to sling fire on people from range, I'd pick soldier. Operatives stacking exploits for big damage hits works better with a sniper or something equivalent, pyromancer mostly shits out instant damage and damage over time around him with everything he does on top of his normal hits

If it's where I think it is, you're stuck until you kill the AA gun- that being said do you mean injuries or trauma? Injuries aren't much to worry about until you really start attaching them- they just hurt your resolve generation as far as I can tell. Which stings, but it's otherwise ignorable though you can remove them with the medkits. Traumas, on the other hand come with stat debuffs, but only go away when you visit the ship. I've mostly just played on with them, and I haven't noticed all that much of a difference.

There are three kinds of permanent wounds: * Fresh injury - heal with a med pack. * Old injury - (allegedly) heal with a medpack but the %chance seems suuuper low * Fatigue - if earned out of combat can only be healed by returning to the ship You get fresh injuries if you take any damage outside of combat or take 50%+ in combat. You get old injuries if you don't heal a fresh injury fast enough. I'm not 100% sure what triggers fatigue. Aramoro posted:I know how to filter them, I'm looking to sort them or better yet search. Someone said I could sort them. That person was referring to the filter that only appears sonetimes. There's no ingame search/sort at all.

evilmiera posted:The second one is even worse and I just decided to quit out of it and come back to it later. There's probably a way to cheese it by pulling back to the corridor you came from and whittling down anything that comes after you but after getting stuck on that fight for the better part of half an hour I felt like that was just a waste of my time. It would be a fun fight if it wasn't for the area of effect and line of sight being buggy and broken. It wasn't registering my attacks against the speakers and so everything was getting a massive health buffer basically every other activation, not round. Eventually I said gently caress it and knocked back the difficulty to the lowest level,that got it lol. They definitely scaled back the profit factor rewards.

FuzzySlippers posted:Is dual wielding pistol and sword any good? It felt like a thematic perk for a naval officer but wasn’t sure if it was actually worth doing over just using two weapon sets. There's a perk that lets you attack with your off-hand weapon (at a heavy BS disadvantage), so it's a way to attack twice per turn for backgrounds who don't have "I attack a million times !" momentum abilities. Haven't tested it so I have no idea how worthwhile it is in practice. The salient problem I see is that for that build you'd want both WS for your sword and BS for the pistol, but you could do twin pistols or twin swords maybe ?

What's the first typical "gently caress you" Owlcat(tm) encounter in the game? I only just started but it's been suspiciously smooth sailing on Daring difficulty so far. I've read some people claiming that the Chaos Spawn encounter is bullshit but the game literally has a giant tutorial pop-up telling you to read enemy abilities during that fight and if you read it's abilities then than encounter is a joke.

Jack Trades posted:What's the first typical "gently caress you" Owlcat(tm) encounter in the game? Probably depends on the player. I see a lot of gnashing of teeth about the first Spaceport encounter, which I'll agree with since that one also hosed me up. I think a more convincing one is the Derelict Void Ship because that reeks of something that you shouldn't be attempting until later in the game, but it's also one of the first away missions you're likely to come across. Anyway, I  'd Idira after she called a daemon in the form of Theodora. My trader was willing to put up with an unsanctioned psyker if she could control herself. But 'getting drunk and summoning daemons from the warp' is a bridge too far.

Jack Trades posted:What's the first typical "gently caress you" Owlcat(tm) encounter in the game? Yeah I found the spawn fine as I was able to use Argenta to kill all the cultists before it had a turn. To answer your question: The chaos space marine one shot my melee and did such a good job resisting Cassia's abilities I initially assumed he was immune to forced movement. Another option is the ship with those speaker things that give temp wounds to all the enemies. Mainly because they are immune to melee and psychic powers which I heavily relied on. Also on the note of Argenta I've broken her companion quest. I followed the blue suns to find the cultists just fine. I killed the pink horror, the cultists and the spawn. Had some dialogue of Argenta resisting the urge to kill the cultist for fun and then nothing. The quest still says to take Argenta to kill the cultists but the suns and door no longer appear in the zone.

Not really Owlcat's fault but my fight against the cultists in the power station on Rykad Minor got reaaaally dicey when (I think ?) a bad Warp Overuse Fuckery roll turned one of the mooks into a giant Spawn right on top of the head honcho summoning blue horrors. Some squishies got squished. Thankfully, Abelard is a man-shaped shouty spacerock.

I'm really surprised over how smooth and friction free the combat is. I didn't think Owlcat liked that kind of thing. There's no loving Vancian casting. No pre-buffing. No loving around with positioning before you trigger the encounter. No inventory management bullshit when it comes to looting. They made major gameplay improvements since Pathfinder.
