Dwarf fashion! DWARF FASHION

Oooh, fun. Here's my entry for best-dressed. I prefer muted street-level or "realistic" looks for my uh, fantastic sci-fi dwarf in space video game. Something that looks rugged yet classy, as much walking tank as he is well-groomed. And of course my Driller has to be a mole man. Bob "Moleman" Johnson has been with the company for decades and aims for the highest of honors: retirement. Equal parts heavily armored, studiously prepared and inebriated to the point of desensitization he's a reliable bulwark on any team, ready to annihilate the bugs and gather the rocks and stones. He aims to get the job done with no interruption save for gunfire and the occasional salute, taking as long as needed to prepare pristine tunnels and pipelines. This makes him a classically quiet dwarf, a longtime lump in the bar who nurses his beers slow and steady-like, a good old grouch to stand behind when things get hot, steady like the noble boulder. Though his choice of chemical warfare changes regularly his sidearms remain consistent and so does his philosophy: why should he fear the glyphids when they could fear him? Weaponry that ought to break every rule in the handbook is overlooked when it comes to Hoxxes. Bugs don't send representatives to protest war crimes, after all. After a failed battle with a vend-o-rama heating station Bob wrenched his hard won breakfast burrito out of the wreckage and ended up the proud owner of what machinery remained after the docking of his pay. Figuring there's no crying over spilled beer, especially in front of anyone else, Bob hammered what he could through the forge spooler with one of the new-fangled R&D test schematics. Sure, his worked different, but he had the bug kill counts and the burns on his finger to prove that it was just as effective! A common misconception is that Drillers think the least of their pickaxes. What usually happens is the opposite, each rockhead treasuring his like a beloved pet, customizing and training with it to the point of obsession. Those who've worn the heavy arms and seen them jam when it counts find some of the most appreciation for the no-frills, no-fuel classics. Bob's Lil' Ripper Jr is as much of a homemade assault on decency as most of his arsenal, a brutal cleaver that revitalizes on a good impact. It takes a lot of effort to clean after a drop but Bob knows what they say: take care of your tools and they'll take care of you. The skull, of course, makes it look really snazzy. --- My Engineer costume has been "literally Dr Robotnik" since day 1. Usually MK1 or MK2 suit to show the most big red belly but I like that the MK6 makes me look more egg-shaped! Not much to my Gunner drip other than to look like a working man. Used the first blue cyclops Scout design for the longest time, trying out the Mr Clean because I finally felt I had something going on with the Brass Swirls armor coloring.

If anyone happened to be wondering, the example of Ol' Dusty is based on this story:Doomykins posted:I actually met the worst player I've ever seen a few days ago. Pugging Haz 5s everyone is very chill, there's the aura of the greybeard who knows the game inside and out and loves shooting bugs, just wants you to be promoted, stay up in most fights, put your r in chat and they know you'll rez them when a silent exploder gets them too.

HopperUK posted:I have *got* to start playing this game. The best time to start is always now. DRG has one of the best content pipelines I've ever seen - everything added in a season goes into an adjacent loot pool when the season ends, so there's zero FOMO outside of the holiday events (which always offer all of the previous years' cosmetics as well as the current years'). Plus, they've made getting through the progression system better over the years as well - promotion gives cores now!

Some engineer fashion: Holiday Dwarf Dreams of the day he has saved up enough credits for another vacation on a tropical resort planet. Returns each time with more kick-knacks and souvenirs to stuff his pod with, and wears his tourist-quality shirts with pride. Preferred Weapons: Enjoys the spectacular lights the shard diffractor makes out of glyphids. Pickaxe equipped with a high power 'vibroblade' to slice through rock and back end arc welder function for spot repairs on his sentry armor. Old Mate Moved on from his old factory job when he heard the pay was better on the mining rigs. Always stops for a good old oily oaf and grumble about management with the lads after a delve. Equipment seems eternally stained by the dust and detritus from down in the mines. Preferred Weapon: Modified his Warthog for maximum rate of fire to splatter the glyphids with maximum efficiency. Doesn't trust any new-fangled plasma or laser tech, and prefers good old fashioned bullets and explosives. His solution to any tech that isn't quite functioning right? Hit it with a wrench! Rimewhiskers Favourite place to mine? Glacial strata. An old dwarf who never seems bothered by freezing temperatures, and wishes Hoxxes had some ice lakes for a quick dip. Preferred Weapon: Stubby SMG with light weight extra stacked custom magazines, perfect for turning the glyphids into swiss cheese. Pickaxe features a detachable head with cable and motor to allow it to be used to quickly descend up and down the frozen chasms. Freebooter Claims to just be an opportunistic business dwarf, but you can always count on him for a scheme or to move some contraband. Loves to gamble, and always has a tall tale about some escapade or treasure he's uncovered. Preferred Weapon: Custom engraved gold-plated Smartgun, which he claims was given to him as a gift when he saved a rich corpo-dwarf from a gang of thugs. Never leaves the base without his lucky pickaxe, which seems oddly drab compared to his usually eye-catching attire. Diver Signed up when he heard about the humongous coral formations in the dense biozone, but was disappointed to find there wasn't any water. Still goes to every mission with a backup air supply, just in case. Determined to find a deep-underground ocean out there somewhere! Preferred Weapon: Modified Air-Cannon Sticky Explosive Launcher, which he claims he brought to fend of the horrors from the deep that were sure to live on this planet. Pickaxe doubles as an underwater light source and includes a back-shovel for examining deposits of sediment on the cavern floor. Greenskin Tech Pockets any kinds of scrap or parts he finds discarded down on Hoxxes for tinkering later. Shows up to each mission with a new, '100% reliable' custom modified weapon. Preferred Weapon: Loaded his SMG with as much juice and wires as possible, sparking with lights and makes your hair stand on end if you're nearby when it fires. Other dwarfs are assured the sentry guns are supposed to crackle and electrify all the bugs in the area. Pickaxe makes a strange, high-pitch whirring sound in action, but his attempts to work on its internal mechanisms haven't made any progress yet. Some driller fashion: Experimenter Wears his thick, corrective goggles even when he isn't on a mission. Loves to collect small samples of the fauna he encounters on Hoxxes, and has a thick notebook with all his observations on the local wildlife. Preferred Weapon: Optimized his fuel recipe for maximum power, and enjoys observing the way the glyphids respond to fiery stimulus. Always ready to use the heavy hammer end of his pickaxe to crack open an ebonut shell. Hazard Tech Called upon to take care of any dirty jobs. Particularly hates rockpox, and responds to any missions to wipe it out with gusto. Claims to treat his equipment with a special bug repellent, but it only seems to work on lootbugs (and violently). Preferred Weapon: High-efficiency wide-nozzle dispering Sludge Blaster always readied to hose down any glyphid threats with purifying acidic globs. Always checking his enviro-scan pickaxe to take scans of air quality. Greenskin Miner Enjoys turning winding caverns into flattened, clear spaces and quick, efficient tunnels. Seems to take the complex layouts on Hoxxes as a personal challenge. Claims his helmet has sentimental value, but will never elaborate as to whose skull it is. Preferred Weapon: Loves blasting glyphids with his ever reliable pistol with his special powder recipe while he chops glyphid limbs with his hefty axe-ended pick. Safety Officer Makes sure to carefully read the manual of each piece of equipment before he even touches it. Always telling his workmates to keep careful on high ledges, and uses his augmented AR display to ensure everyone's armor and weapons are functioning within safe and expected levels, much to his workmates chagrin. His pod is covered in posters with helpful, corporate approved posters with friendly safety slogans. Preferred Weapon: Perhaps surprising some, enjoys the wave-cooker, mostly for its extremely thick and heavy operations manual, large enough to be used to bludgeon a glyphid. Prefers a simple, double-ended pickaxe with no bells or whistles, which he considers might be a light safety hazard when choked with cavern dirt.

Most of my dwarves are pretty basic. My best is probably my Gunner: All black, cover everything. Why? Because in the darkness of a cave, there's only one thing you need to see: The gun.

Grab 10 fossils, clear 2 lithophages, get 3 mini-mules repaired, head back to the pod to do two hold outs after eating poo poo in your usual double xp spawn waves hell. Game steals 21 minutes of effort from me when I inexplicably instantly go from full red HP to downed by pulling myself up a platform and presumably telefragging myself into terrain. Go down with two swarmers adjacent to me. I run thorns so I don't think they were gonna pull it off. Cool, thanks, go to hell.
