Any weapons in particular stand out as worth upgrading? The shotgun seems like an obvious choice but its also pretty loving woefully bad against a Phantom and flaming Phantom I've run across in Trauma. Seems a shame to waste them if the weapons involved just end up being worthless and I don't have the inventory space for all of it. e: For that matter, both the stun and GLOO guns seem like they've got promise too.

Anyone know why my pistol says Firepower : 7 (Unmodified 8)? I haven't put any mods into it at all so you'd think the current and unmodified damage would be the same. Same goes for my shotgun.

Knifegrab posted:Regarding nueromod plans: e: DLC Inc posted:I just got the looking glass thing up and running and finished the video. I'm anxious as to when I get alien powers? I feel I need them since the gloo gun does gently caress all versus phantoms and pistols just can't trade blows with them, I'm getting my rear end kicked. Also, some tips: The Gloo gun actually isn't too bad against Phantoms if you ambush them, but try using the environment. The Stun Gun gives you a decent window of time to take them out, but explosive barrels do a number on them. There's a shotgun available in the security office, which hits a lot harder than the pistol. Finally, Leverage lets you toss large objects at things and they loving hurt. A L3 object seems to take almost half of the Phantom's health off in one go. Guns are seeming largely superfluous at this point. And I haven't needed to use it, but the Q-Beam should be pretty decent against them, right? If you've gotten the Looking Glass repaired, you should have picked up the Beam.

I disagree. I've easily gotten more neuromods from it than I spent on it. It's a really cheap investment for a good return if you plan on churning out more mods.

Kontradaz posted:I need your help guys. Tell me if I'm being a huge loving dumbass - but I'm not buying any of the alien powerups because Alex Yu says they are great and then January is telling me that I shouldn't take too many because I'll become like them etc. I feel like the game isn't built around the way I'm doing it and it's kind of getting to be difficult in some parts because guns really suck in general, and I have a shiton of resources but not the primary one that is for ammo/resources I'm hoping there's some sort of payoff at the end for doing it this way, but if there isn't I'm gonna feel like a fool. I also throw large objects at things a lot, so that helps too.

First playthrough I'm doing pretty well with just going human-only mods. Any reason to pick up Typhon mods if I'm feeling pretty good as-is? Or any particular reason to avoid them for the first go-around? I plan on replaying this game a lot so I'm not worried about gimmick playthroughs.

I thought it was blocked by Leverage III crates when I first saw it but just noticed after doing the Hardware Labs that the crates were askew and able to be passed. I have Leverage III so it's possible I just moved a crate, walked away for some reason and forgot about it.

NRVNQSR posted:I inferred that even in the original plan they were doing a fairly large number of experiments between re-briefings. Presumably the re-briefing and acclimation process takes Morgan a few days, whereas with the earth simulation they can potentially do dozens of additions and removals in a single day. As for why they stopped doing the rebriefings, I assumed that the personality drift meant that Alex felt he could no longer trust Morgan and he needed to get him/her out of the way. As for why this happens at the start of the game, I thought that the outbreak basically happened as it initially appeared to the player. So everything prior to what the player sees actually did happen, it just happened a long time ago and now it serves at the background for the sim. Once the game starts, you're playing the sim.

Hey, dumb question, are the escape pods even set up for reentry? Because I blew up the shuttle on the bridge because mimics were 100% around well before the outbreak was noticed (there's a log that talks about an engineer plugging a part into something and having it melt into organic black goo and pretty much the entire supply room in one area is mimics) and then, without thinking, freed the escape pod. If they're capable of reentry on their own I kind of hosed that self-imposed quarantine up though I suppose the escape pod is small enough and the escapees know about the mimics so they could theoretically scour the whole place, but still. Quarantine procedures!

lambskin posted:Yeah lab tech really depends on if you like the Q-beam or gloo cannon a lot. I fully upgraded my q-beam in my first playthrough and didn't regret it. Also I'd argue that physician is quite important if you play on nightmare, as food just doesn't usually cut it during combat. Plus then you can recycle the food you find rather than eat it all. I agree in general with the skills to skip, though I'd take Leverage 2. The things you can throw with L2 are pretty small so don't get caught up on the environment, do some really nice damage to Phantoms and usually knock them down, giving you a solid weapon against them in the early stages of the game when you're fairly resource-starved.
