gently caress I ran into a problem already. So the resistance warrior look is not available to me in the character pool because it's based on equipping a different set of armor, like you saw me do in the video. I figured it'd just be cosmetic and not be a problem. Well i was wrong. So to those of you who picked resistance warrior armor types I'm going to put everything else in, and then probably dress you with a dumb helmet or other identifier and put you in my notes as someone that needs to be changed if they get hired. Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion if you show up wearing a bright pink voodoo hat or something at first.

e: more updates as i make mens. The bin file import poo poo is realllly easy. Even I can figure it out. If you own the game and make a dude, totally email the bin file.

Oh,I see. In that case,can I just make my guy in the game then email it to you? Or is it too late?

Do it. Send it in. If you already submitted a plain text entry but would like to send a .bin file in for exactly what you want then please do it and include in big letters in the mail that the bin file is to replace a previous entry. Please tell me the name of the soldier that is being replaced, as that what it sorts by in game.
Alright. Just sent the .bin for my replacement.

He also said he's open to using cosmetic mods, so long as they don't change gameplay, so... make sure you link the mod to make it easy, I'd say.

Dont worry about it if you already submitted it. I too ran into the problem of not being able to delete a nickname entry. I hadn't considered you were exporting a premade soldier that had already been ranked up through gameplay and thus already had a nickname.

For those of you wondering about the character pool, as of this post i am 71 entries in and i swear that 50% of you picked the laid back attitude. and about 40% of you picked twitchy. So i am concluding that goons are either too lazy to worry about anything, or anxious as gently caress about everything.
Go ahead and change mine to Intense,if you want.

You said you would be using some cosmetic mods, does that include the Capnbubs Accessories Pack?

That's just F.A.N.G. from SF5; after Bison "died",he stopped soaking his hands in...whatever the gently caress that toxic poo poo is?Grape Jelly? And joined ADVENT. First thing they did was give him gene therapy, finally allowing his balls to drop. That's my headcanon,anyway.

IIRC, Bradford spent most of the last 20 years as a drunk hobo living in a shack in Idaho pointing a shotgun at the door. The dude doesn't have the best people skills.

I actually don't like the story or setting of X-COM 2 at all for the next game in the setting, and the characters are one of my quibbles versus Enemy Unknown: everyone seems much less likable than the Kirk-Spock-McCoy trio of Bradford, Vahlen, and Shen in 2012.

I dunno,Lilly's got her moments. Tygan's as boring as a stick,though.

Yeah. Enemy Within is actually the aliens running scenarios to see how the resistance might handle advent mecs and genemods.

So,I checked the character pool. To my relief,my guy is in there. But he doesn't seem to have the ADVENT Armor? Did the JAIDS break it or something? Actually,I don't know the proper protocol for this-should I PM Jade the Steam Workshop link? Or email it to him? Or just leave it?

Who the gently caress made a berserker-skin rug and used it to decorate the armory? There are some serious sickos in XCOM nowadays.
