Oh dear. I thought the pathetic rookie aim on Gatecrasher was bad enough as-is.

Please tell me all the soldiers are named after red pandas and stuffed animals.

Is this your first Commander run? This will be extra fun if so.

When are you going to change the soldiers' names to Pinkie-chan, Florp, El-Baki, Jesus, Buddha, and so forth.

Workshops are pretty bad in WOTC: IIRC they cost more than they did in the base game (and were already pricy) and compete for space with new buildings. You can also get new engineers from resistance missions now.

Basically prostrat is to build the Ring as soon as possible because it provides tons of useful things for basically no cost.

It's not that hard not to bump into enemies, man.

The game has pods move towards a line between you and the objective. Bumping into enemies is inevitable.

mainly because he'll hide behind a rock and scream for ten straight minutes about how horny he is about Ethereals and you can't actually play the loving game until he's done :argh:

But Dan, this is that chosen's best feature.

I'm guessing that the use of the Solo photo booth option was not a stylistic choice here.

Mostly unrelated aside: when I attempted to record XCOM 2 on PC, there was some weird bug where playing in windowed mode (to avoid downscaling without playing the atrocity that is non-native fullscreen resolution on LCDs) broke the zoom and rotate functionality in the photo booth, but for post-mission posters only--memorial posters or bond posters were able to use it. Very odd and very annoying.

Just straight up evac immediately any retaliation that doesn't have resistance buddies or any new-style (collect the crates) supply raid. Show Jake Solomon who's boss.

That said I haven't seen a lot of playthroughs of this game where things go so wrong and the LPer claws their way back through sheer grit and drunken determination

Dan and Grace fought Dokapon Kingdom and emerged victorious. ADVENT cannot stop them, Orb or no Orb.

Nope! :v: You can blow up civilians directly and the only drawback is that I have to take a drink for it. They'll narc on you if you're concealed though so serves them right.

I had one mission with a big crowd of civvies between my shredstorm cannon-equipped squad and a pod of Advent. They deserved what they got.

These stealth missions are fun and I wish there were more of them :smith:

yeah one of the problems of X2 is that there are just SO MANY MISSION TYPES

you never really get a chance to get comfortable with them all

EW was nice in that there was basically just regular "kill everything" missions, UFO crashes, 2 types of EXALT, and the occasional bullshit council escort thin man fiesta. iirc fewer plot missions too those kinda suck in X2.
