I've gone from 'Oh Cool' to super pumped for this realising it is out in just a week. My other half was more into EU than I was (I still love old X-COM though) but she is struggling to get excited for 2.

She seems to be mainly tripping up on the snake aliens and wondering why an alien looks so much like something from Earth and doesn't get the breasts.

:shrug:

Well they're an occupying force now so they've engineered the more public face aliens to be a better public face? That's what I'm going with anyway. The Ethereals have always been all about wantonly genetically/cybernetically altering their underlings to suit their purposea :shrug:

Well I like their thinking at least.

Eth 1: "We need our snake people to be more appealing to the general human populus!"
Eth 2: "Shall we give them legs at least and remove the huge cobra heads?"
Eth 1: "Thats a solid idea, anyone else?"
Eth 3: "Tits"
Eth 2: "Really? That seems a b-"
Eth 1: "Tits it is. Next up, the chryssalid. I'm thinking monster dong."

How is it running for everyone? I can't say its running bad but on my rig I'm having to turn MSAA down to 4x from 8x for a real smooth framerate, which for my rig and the game in question seems a bit off. E.g. 980 Ti.

Doesn't affect my opinion of the game at all just wondered if this is a known issue with optimisation etc etc, might be sorted by new drivers or patches.
