Dang, I go away for a bit and this happens. I suppose I missed the signup period, but if not let me know so I can die horribly while wearing a stupid hat. For some reason the game runs like rear end on my computer ever since the Anarchy's Children DLC came out, so it's good to have more XCOM.

TheDarkFlame posted:On the subject of VIPs, I've only seen one VIP die: He was taking cover behind a car, I was the other side of the street, and the aliens blew up the car with a salvo of terrible missed shots. I also on the same mission had my evac point suddenly change on me, so instead of being in the far corner where I was moving to, it was on top of a building near my starting location. Not sure why that happened but it doesn't help if you think you're almost there. Does the bug where the VIP dies if the car blows up even if he's nowhere nearby still happen? I've never experienced it myself, but the main XCOM thread had something like that back when I still followed it. Also the evac point change usually means the original one got blown up somehow, though I have had it happen at the start of a mission because it spawned on top of an enemy pod.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Does the game still cheat behind the scenes on rolls like it did the first game? Like if you're missing shots and getting shot yourself the game will purposfully make your next shot hit or the next enemy shot a miss? Yep! On every difficulty below legend, the game gives you an invisible bonus to hit for repeated missed shots and dead soldiers. The opposite happens for the enemy, so if you start taking hits or losing people they get penalties. Here's the relevant bits from the config files. code:

CJacobs posted:This let's play is very cathartic for me to watch because I will never, ever, ever finish an XCOM 2 campaign. I will start 500 XCOM 2 campaigns, get a couple of months into it, and just stop because after a week or so of not playing it I open my save, won't remember where I am or have any idea what's going on, and just quit. Same, except replace "a week or so of not playing" with "I found a new mod that looks cool".

Killzone can no longer fire from concealment.

Well I've got no idea then. I've personally had it work with squadsight, but the XCOM games are not the most well programmed.

Something nobody's mentioned about the Bradfordranger yet that makes it even better/more horrifying: I'm pretty sure the landing struts have teeth on them.

Does the RAGE suit increase the damage your melee weapons do? It feels like it should.

One thing I like about the commander's avatar is that it has the colonel rank icon from Enemy Unknown. Dunno if that ever got pointed out.
