God drat it. The smart play here is clearly to wait a couple of months for patches and polishing. But I wanna play it now!

So picked the game up in sale, haven't played it yet. Planning to start. I see the DLC is released today. Should I do a vanilla run through, then pick the DLC up later for a second playthrough or just do everything at once. I see it adds a second ship and new options etc. Which sound great, but I was thinking it all might be a bit much for a first run. Thoughts?

Dreadnoughts needing plenty of beauty sleep is canonical, you don't wake them up just to shoot a few cultists.

Quick question if anyone can answer. If I get the DLC did they patch/alter the massive difficulty spikes I heard about?

Having crashing issues  Updated everything, disabled steam overlay, downgrade a little in the settings. Still happening. I don't suppose there's a 'Oh you need to disable/change this setting' that the community has worked out?

So I finally got the drat thing to stop crashing all the time. Should I be playing a first game on easy like Grey Hunter is doing in the LP? I'm only a couple of hours in and it's already noticably getting harder. Does it ramp up super-hard?

Yeah, I heard about the whole "Disable DLC monsters, unless you've got the DLC upgrades", so that's fine. I'll stick with it, I'm not losing missions, just my knights are getting a kicking. Apothecary definitely MVP at moment. Re: Genre games. If you more enjoy the battlin' than base buildin' and you don't mind a card mechanic, I really liked Gloomhaven and Midnight Sons.

Oh, and a game that's pretty much just the tactical battle part of X-Com but i think is brilliant. Druidstone: Secret of the Menhir Forest.

So does the game difficulty ramp up on Mercy much? I started on regular, and rapidly found it got harder than I wanted to deal with. Don't have DLC and knew to disable enemy spawn for them. So I restarted on Mercy, about 8-9 missions in, and I can basically sleepwalk through them, don't even come close to having a knight downed and frankly I'm a little bored.

I think the Dev's made the classic mistake of "We've played this game for a 1000 hours, and are intimately familiar with the systems" when setting their difficulty levels.

Ok, so I've restarted again on standard, 150+ days in and now it's all going swimmingly so far. I think those who say you really need a handle on the systems are right. I wouldn't say you need a whole failed campaign, but I'd definitely recommend playing a couple of hours on standard/mercy, getting a feel for the rhythms of the game, it's upgrade speeds and what's going to be useful in a real playthrough are absolutely necessary. Then abandon that run and start your proper game with what you've learned.

drat that Craft World mission is tough. I did it first time, but literally every single Knight went down, and the Inquisitor had 2HP left when the timer ran down. I might replay it to see if I can do better, but I'll probably just roll with the 'B' team why they're all recuperating.

I wouldn't mind a little time to grind up a my second team. To be clear, what's the name of the research I shouldn't complete until I'm ready? Deptfordx fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Aug 21, 2023 |

Just finished this (on normal). Really enjoyed it. Especially that you can work out ways to chain powers together to break the game over your knee. Going to leave it a bit, but probably going to pick up the DLC at Xmas and have another run with everthing enabled.
