No I've read your posts and its a whole lot of whining. If you were giving them the benefit of the doubt you wouldn't of dumped a mountain of words about how bad they are.

The OP has a good list of quality of life mods. I wouldn't know much about good mods beyond that.

Yeah, there are a ton of class mods and voice packs out the rear end, as well as numerous weapons and outfits of varying qualities.

Probably not. All the localized voices are already in the game.

Somone ported the Russian and Polish ones from EW as a mod though since XCOM2 wasn't localized for them.

I hope the expansion pack after this one adds time travel elements and lets you recruit the children of your soldiers to fight alongside you

Maybe Vahlen will build us a time machine so that soldiers from all futures can go back and correct our loss in the first Alien War.

Get Allies Unknown to have random aliens from Mass Effect (with different abilities/resource cost) help you out.

There are also Advent Hybrids, HK-Units and Twi'lek :eng101:

The Geth are the best though. Someone did a great job porting their models and they make amazing Sword-dudes which is hilarious.

I wanted to test how this runs on my new rig so I downloaded a bunch of collections and fired it up.

Hot drat I didn't notice the developer added in the Geth!. I just loved using Quarians with build in hacking bonus/sabotage.

As for the expansion: I hope they add in a pure flamethrower gun instead of just having it as a heavy weapon. There is a mod that allows a flamethrower as a shotgun replacement but it can get kind of buggy.

I wish there was a legit reason to use the flamethrower over the shredder/shredstorm cannon. Speaking of which is there any mod that makes the Plasma Blaster not a useless piece of poo poo?

It becomes hilarious if you put it on a SPARK that has the "+2 radius to heavy weapons" perk. It becomes a three-tile hellbeam.

I forget the name but there is a mod that rebalances the heavy weapons so that shedder isn't way better than the other options.

Yeah, I was mostly thinking about cosmetics, UI mods, and maybe some items because I didn't want to radically change the game. But I might try that Allies Unknown because that looks cool af.

edit: looking at the photos...I didn't know Turians were british.

edit 2: Wait, it says it requires a mod that requires Long War 2. Uncool.

What mod? I'm looking at the primary Allies Unknown mod, and while it's Long War compatible, it doesn't require anything that needs Long War.

You may be looking at the supplement to it that adds a mission to Long War - it's completely optional.

-bg- has some great fixes/changes which aren't huge transformations.

Gotcha Again, or whatever the most recent version is called, shows you all kinds of visibility/positioning stuff like flanks, enemy overwatch triggering, ability to hack objectives etc.

You'll probably want some sort of health display mod, I like Numeric Health Display

I prefer Additional Icons. It provides a numeric health display, maintains the pips for those who like them, and gives other info, like the unit's aim stat, their primary weapon's damage range, and even whether or not they have loot to drop.
