Please do post the best of the best mods for the rest of us to hunt & download! Once again, like everyone else - really looking forward to this LP.

Splorange posted:LW2 Cmp XCom 2 International Voices Pack That'd be the one! LW mods are a crapshoot if they port to WOTC properly or not, sometimes even for things that shouldn't be an issue. But voicepacks are probably the safest thing, even the vanilla ones generally run fine for WOTC.

Last I looked in on Long War of the Chosen (which was a while ago, admittedly) it didn't look nearly as good as original Long War anyway. The balance was all over the place, and once you got a feel for it, most missions were a cakewalk even at the higher difficulties. The challenge was in fiddling with the minutia of resource management and fine-tuning a million different variables.

This is an odd question I'm too lazy to ask anywhere else. As mentioned I just did a playthrough last week of XCOM2 + WOTC, but for spice I decided to make it an Ironman playthrough. I love the poster section and this time I thought to myself "self, don't look at those posters until you beat the game and then you can flip through them like a little time capsule". Except, Ironman only has one save, and the one save is already in the last mission, so I can never get back to the Avenger screen to go look at those posters. Is there a way to extract/view them?

"Balanced with beating Cydonia with only earth guns" sounds about right for X-Pirates. X-Files is the superior time sink in my opinion. But both are just way too long

I've got a million of these, but I don't think anything is going to be better than a surprise flashback to the previous LP with crowd favorite Specialist Man Whore Who must have shown up again in a streamed playthrough.

Okay actual thread question while I'm at it. I downloaded some workshop mods to add more variety to the photobooth. New poses and things. Now I'm not usually much of a modder, so I didn't really have any exceptions going into the ol' mod scene here but it seems like I kinda hit a thirst trap. The mod does what is says on the tin, and then some. So we get photo ops like this; Where there are a lot of girly or male gaze sort of poses. However there doesn't seem to be anyway for the game to limit poses to just the women so we get some things like this as well;  Sooooo it's kind of a toss up? I'll let you guys decide if we want the pose pack in or not. Buuuut.... In case it helps you make up your mind it also can cause some interesting things to happen like thiiiiis.....

It seems that any 'problems' are solved by hitting the 'randomise' button a couple more times. It only becomes creepy if you specifically pose the ladies with specific backgrounds and props. Simply taking it as it comes and slapping a slogan on ("Here's hoping for 'Operation Operation Operation' next time...") looks like it'll be pretty funny each time.

Jade Star posted:I just loaded the dummy save file and made a poster. For me it was saved to My Games/Xcom2 War of the Chosen/Photobooth/Campaign_16/UserPhotos Niiiiice that's the spot. I had to go to \My Games\Xcom2 War of the Chosen\Xcomgame\Photobooth\Campaign_X\UserPhotos for anyone else trying to do this. As an aside for anyone else, even if you never took any posters, the game does automatically on certain events. I think anyone who's finished the game will have at least 30 in there, plus the ones you made yourself. I'd also suggest not posting the three WOTC classes posters yet since Jade probably wants to go over them organically when they occur in the game.  I think the partner bond level up images are proving to be the most funny so far.

As a quick thought for someone wanting to submit a soldier... is there a list of cosmetic mods we can feel free to use, or should we stay full-vanilla for appearances?

In that case I just need to decide who to send (I won't send anyone with a huge crazy list of mod requirements, don't worry). Though, out of curiosity, will Outrider and Mox get replaced with submitted soldiers, or will they stay as they are? Because I was thinking of sending a Reaper, but I may just say screw it and add to the pile of regular soldiers instead, between that and the fact that a bunch of people are likely going to be submitting Reapers for what is a very, very limited slot. Aaaand, to submit a poster of my own to the party, there's not so much exciting stuff going on in the poster itself, as much as it is a celebration of the hilarious stupidity that I accomplished with this soldier. That Covert Action stuff mentioned in the topic post? It can result in some absolutely hysterical outcomes if you use it right.

You mean like sending a soldier on those [+1 mobility] ops for All The Speed to the point where the UI starts glitching out whenever you have them selected, and pretty much completely breaks the game (especially if it's a Reaper, but Templars are amusing too)

This wasn't even the end of the campaign.  There were a couple of other mods involved, but RPGO (which was used in this run) doesn't let you go crazy with HP with its stat mechanics, so it was still just the Covert Actions that this happened with.
