Are you accepting applications for the Totally obvious DLC Class that they've talked about since release so I don't know why I'm spoiling this

One thing that irks me about the opening cutscene is that they apparently remove an implant in the base of your skull through your nose, according to the camera work. Also is the idea supposed to be that everything after the base defense was (minor spoilers until the next Tygan cutscene)the simulation?

My favorite line of Tygans is the one about him being poo poo at actual therapeutic medicine so he's glad you send him a steady stream of corpses to practice on.

Gridlocked posted:He says he and the crew are glad he gets to practice on corpses first because by his own admission his knowledge of therapeutic medicine up-till-recently was entirely theoretical. He also states a similar reason for wanting you to recruit more scientists, he is a chemist/biologist by trade and wants all the help he can get. Yes, that's the one. I like him because he's honest about his own limitations and calls in Lily all the time for consults. Whereas Vahlen and Shen were usually at eachother's throats. I mean hell he did the surgery to remove his own chip by himself.

The drone can still use the medkit even before you unlock the skill that triples their usage. I know this because my hacker specialist can still teleheal people. e: At least I'm reasonably certain that's the case, now you've got me doubting myself.

Oh well. And Guava is right, the Core is amazingly bad science. They actually had a scientific consultant on staff and they usually ignored what he said and did what they wanted anyway. The one thing that he absolutely stood firm on was that the machine that was drilling down into the core of the earth absolutely could not have a windshield. Not sure how I'd rate it in comparison to Hackers, though. Hackers is bad computer science. The Core is bad everything. MadHat posted:Also unless they fixed it the skills are mutually exclusive. You can have 3 Normal Medkit charges or 2 Medical Protocol's, with MP overwriting the ability to use Medkits Normally. The bonus medkit charges compete with scanning protocol. Telepresence healing competes with the "Gremlin deals 6 damage to that guy right now no questions asked" skill.

GuavaMoment posted:I heard the one thing he stood firm on was "no, the trip to the core can not take an hour. You can not go Mach 5 through rock, holy poo poo why do I have to explain this to you." So then things just got edited in a way to make it seem like the trip took only an hour. quote:In response to criticism of his screenplay's lack of scientific realism, screenwriter John Rogers responded that he tried to make the science accurate, but expended three years fighting "to get rid of the ... dinosaurs, magma-walks in 'space-suits', bullshit-sci-crap sources for the Earth's crisis, and a windshield for the ship Virgil."

for at least a week when I found out the hard way that XCOM 2 has the threat of mind-control right at the start of the game. It's fairly rare if you know the Sectoid's priorities in skill usage, but still, jesus. These ain't your granddaddy's Sectoids.

Failing a hack breaks concealment, if the failed hack result is "The enemy gains awareness of your location" and you're already in full kill mode there's basically no reason not to try to hack it.

Commander sectoids definitely were. And if you aren't leaving a trail of corpses around for them to reanimate they can mindspin someone and that's not exactly ideal.

The reason why this is dumb is that it works, he literally hacks the entire internet to keep all discussion of the project to drill into the earth's core under wraps. Right up until the point it becomes convenient for him to have a change of heart.

Spudd posted:Does Blademaster buff the damage of a certain ability in the not-sword sword you get later? I'm pretty sure it does, it's a melee attack for all intents and purposes. Even if it wasn't it doesn't eat up an action.

Brainamp posted:Nah, even the base armor gave a +1 to health. Archangel and Psi were sniper and psionic armors respectively. Everyone else you wanted sporting the objectively best armor, Ghost. Extra hp cannot compare to invisibility plus inbuilt 20 defense. Would you believe me if I said they outdo the Archangel armor in this game? It's pretty great.

Tylana posted:EDIT : The fact that the sniper rifle costs two (both) actions, rather than having say, "Cannot have moved" or whatever as a requirement tripped me up a few times, but they do really benefit from ammo helping mods. The bonuses that Snipers get for not having moved the previous round count as long as the method by which they move doesn't actually consume an action.

I did the tower as my first mission once I was out of the tutorial (with squad size five) but it was fine. The special unit makes it much easier. As do two sharpshooters and a shred gunner.

The regions and their connections are all randomly generated, the number of regions is constant but which ones you get isn't. My first game didn't have a connection between North and South america, I had to eat my way through most of europe, asia, and africa only to find out that it's contintent bonus was Future Combat, right after I had already bought all my GTS projects

Green Intern posted:That's just the mission you get if you don't go through the tutorial. You play out the demolition/distraction portion of Operation Gatecrasher. Right, also at that point you only have those four soldiers, so if all of them die Xcom loses it's military arm.
