I'm in the middle of a middle-to-late game legendary ironman campaign. If I install the ex-pac, will I still be able to play finish this campaign? Or should I wait?

Can Lost and Abandoned be ignored for a bit? Bradford's making it sound like it's on a guerilla-ops timer, but I really wanna finish getting this engineer. e: Nevermind, doesn't look like I got a choice. Bogart fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Aug 29, 2017 |

Ooh, neat. Turns out I was wrong about Eyepatch Right not getting updated. I guess the "last online" thing not showing a date doesn't mean what I thought it did, he posted on his mod confirming he'll be working on it.

Some of these new mission types seem kind of...possibly overtuned for the early game? The second mission I get after Gatecrasher is to eliminate an Advent General, dude has like 10 HP, there's three pods on the map and the second I engage any of them a really tight time limit is imposed to kill the dude. This is a bit much to handle with 3 rookies and one Support squaddie.

Is the Reinforcements Pack worth getting? From what I read, the Alien Hunter DLC is bullshit that can severely gently caress over new games? And the rest is cool or just cosmetic?

Seriously the photobooth is the best thing and I can't wait to see how modders can improve it once they've had time to really go at it.    First of all it needs a horizontal picture mode, secondly more fonts for the text. I could see new poses being a thing, too.

I lost a ranger and two others were wounded, but I killed the General with one turn remaining and had an awesome time.

Not saying it isn't going to be hard (the new mission that is), but you should have at minimum 3 squaddies after gatecrasher or you're doing something wrong, really you should be aiming to have all 4 be squaddies and no injuries.

TastyLemonDrops posted:Does enabling the tutorial actually change or add anything for the expansion? I know about the intro cutscene, but are there any gameplay additions that are 'tutorialized', like meld was back in Enemy Within? I'd like to know that too. I was going to turn all of that stuff on, some second wave stuff, and get wrecked with like four missions in a row.

I was too scared to try it, but is a general grenade going to alert the Lost, or just using a grenade to explode cars?

Tae posted:I was too scared to try it, but is a general grenade going to alert the Lost, or just using a grenade to explode cars? Every type of grenade will spawn a swarm, including flashbangs. That was a nasty surprise! I'm playing on double turn timers and it feels just right. Although the new psionic relay missions are kinda too easy but I don't really mind. The game feels more open-ended and forgiving in the sense that you can do all sorts of stuff and not feel like you're getting penalized for it. It's come a long way from EW's One Correct Build Order, and it's wonderful. I just keep researching inspirations because they're so good instead of doing "proper" teching.

Without save scumming, poor aim/good enemy aim is gonna happen. I was glad to just get out of there with no deaths as poorly as it went at the very end. That made for a very very rough second mission.

I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times. I haven't played either Xcom or Xcom 2. Which should I jump into and should I do a first run of either with the xpacs installed?

The Alien Hunters are a new type of challenge that you may or may not find fun, but even if you don't you can still disable it when starting a new game.

If you want to play xcom EU/EW play that first. Otherwise just play 2 with the expansion since it's loaded with cool and good poo poo.

I'll say one thing for the resistance soldiers: they might not do a lot of damage, but they do it more consistently than any XCOM troops do.

So what's your strategy of troops, just rotate in a rookie every mission? I never really needed a team of 20 troops (or even 10 beyond cumulative over a playthrough) before.
