That is super awesome, can/would you be interested in talking about your work on the game? Like the first LP i figure there will be times where i have kind of filler missions and would love to have some interesting guests to talk bout the game and an inside perspective of working on the game would be great.

Sorry, didn't mean to give you the wrong idea or get your hopes up. :shobon:

To clarify, it was just QA so most of my experience revolves around playing the game in really early stages, and I doubt any of the bugs I found or changes I saw would be enough to carry a video.

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?

Ciaphas posted:

Jade if I already sent an application are you averse to me just making a soldier and sending you the file instead or would you rather I leave it be? Don't want to clog your inbox, and I'm not especially picky on my soldier anyway, but if importing is easier...

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.

Ciaphas posted:

Any chance we could get you to export the resulting character pool? I think it'd be an interesting thing to kind of 'play along' with the LP and observe how the games diverge (or more accurately, observe how my mistakes snowball compared to yours).

I should be able to easily export and host the character pool file somewhere once I'm done making making soldiers. Please remember I have the memory of a goldfish, so a reminder when I close signups/start the LP would be appreciated.


Oh yeah, I got like 15 soldiers done before the first request for Guile Hair was made. What is wrong with all of you?

I figured there would be a million other requests for Guile Hair, truthfully. I'm sticking to what I submitted though.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I was creating a character, and while from what I remember of the stories she certainly COULD have Guile hair, the Mad Max DLC added pigtails which are her iconic feature.

I don't suppose you are accepting modifications to applications sent?

I'd like to add that my soldier would probably be better as the Psi-Op soldier type given his name. Make him purple as well if thats cool. :-D

I'm not reserving class choices. That's in the OP.

And just fyi, i've gotten about 67 applications so far, if i make 100 in the next day or two i'm going to start the LP but keep sign ups open.

Do you have a list of soldier customization mods that you will definitely be using? I'd hate to send in a soldier only to have things break.

Really between all the official DLCs you have a buttload of gear to pick from. I think you only *need* to delve into the workshop in that respect if you're looking for unique stuff like Disney princess dresses.

...one sec, need to go check something.

There's a separate Warsaw Pact camo pattern set that isn't nearly as well organized. Besides, what other patterns were you going to use, the Mass Effect pack?
