So I noticed Level 2 requires 400 XP, level 3 requires 1100, while level 4 requires 1400. Does this mean level 5 is gonna need 2100? Is the XP requirement per 2 levels static? I'm curious because if it is static then investing a bit in Charisma for the XP bonus may be a good idea generally. Usually XP requirement increases constantly per level and the XP bonus would barely do anything since it takes too long to give you a return on your investment.

It's probably too early to answer that, but I also went with Sadomasochist instead of Death Wish on my Sniper under the assumption that there will be worthwhile armour effects you don't wanna miss out on. There's a YT guy that claimed there are AP bonuses you can get from armor, fwiw. By the way, is it just me, or is the... pre-combat kind of janky? It feels like I'm supposed to micromanage all of my units to put them in a good position out of the enemies' detection range before taking the first shot, and it looks like it's gonna get tedious. Or am I just too much in the XCOM alpha-striking mindset

Kanos posted:I've only played on Supreme Jerk, but in my experience micromanaging positioning before initiating combat is 100% necessary and will typically mean the difference between an easy stomp and getting slaughtered. Hmm, alright. I was thinking of restarting on Supreme, too. I guess I can just get used to it. How are melee characters, by the way? I started with a Brawling guy, and while the game did warn me that they start off weak, I didn't think it literally means wet noodle levels. Are swords/blunt weapons better?

You have to manually reload every new weapon you equip? I just entered a battle with a freshly equipped SMG only to find that whoops it's empty and now I can't shoot twice. It's weird because I think the game generally shows a lot of thought into players' QOL and I appreciate it for that, but then from time to time you see jank like this

The brothel gives... some really amazing buffs for 10 bucks. Ten and Ace give +25% crit. King gives +25% Hit(!). Jack gives AP+1(!!!). Queen gives +15% Evasion. They all last 20 minutes. Some other brave soul can find out what Joker gives

yo mamma a Horus posted:Can you undo movement during combat if you gently caress it up before you attack? Nope. The game does show you which enemies you can shoot at what accuracy when you mouseover the square you're gonna move to, so you can make an informed decision. No luck if you want to just undo a misclick, though

rodbeard posted:Heavy weapons and explosives on the same guy feels natural at the beginning of the game, but then I quickly realized I wanted to have a flamethrower and a machine gun and a rocket launcher equipped and that doesn't really work. Still fiddling around with different builds to see where a rocket launcher would make the most sense and I'm leaning toward on my sniper. This is the conclusion I came to as well. Small/Automatic/Big Guns/Melee both have two types of weapons already and the perk tree encourages you to use both in your weapon slots, so only Sniper Rifle and Brawling characters are left. The natural Sniper quirk picks like Sadomasochist and Death Wish also work well with rocket launchers, whether you just want to boost your rocket damage even more or fire off a rocket + shoot in the same turn.

So the Strike Rate stat means your Strike meter increases by that % with each attack, right? I haven't really paid attention to it, so correct me if I'm wrong Base Strike Rate is 6%, at Charisma 1 that's 8%, which means 13 attacks to fully charge up your meter. 2 Charisma means 10% which means 10 attacks, then it lowers by 1 attack per Charisma point until Charisma 7 that gives you 20% Strike Rate for 5 attacks. Then you need go all the way to Charisma 10 to reduce that to 4 attacks. So 7 Charisma may be a good place to stop in general (although I guess you might as well get to 10 Charisma eventually for the EXP bonus) Sniper Rifles also have an innate Strike Rate bonus that seems to increase with Weapon Level, so the breakpoints may be different there.

This Rally bug is kinda ruining my enjoyment of the game tbh. I've already given it to two of my characters and it's really irritating when the Rally guy is clumped together with all their allies and it whiffs on everybody. e: Also, is it intended that pressing Escape or entering the character menu doesn't pause the game?? blizzardvizard fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Sep 2, 2020 |

ChrisBTY posted:Ok I now kinda want to start over because two feelbads are loving killing me. If you want the Sniper to be primarily a Sniper, taking an offensive quirk like Sadomasochist is probably better. But if the Poindexter part is more important, then yeah, Sniper Rifle isn't a bad choice. Incidentally, you can also save Jodie by sniping the Dorsey without initiating conversation.

Still not sure whether to make my melee tank guy a hammer/sword guy or a punchy guy. He's got 5 Melee Combat at the moment already, but that's only 7 skill points and the level 5 Melee perk that adds +0.5 combat speed works with fist weapons too. Any recommendations?

I like to make big numbers appear but if there's nothing in the game challenging enough to warrant making those big numbers then there's no fun in it  Like, the idea of exploiting Draw! Perk from Small Arms to shoot 5 2 AP rockets sounds great to me but if I could've just shot at the bad guys for the exact same result then what's the point

doingitwrong posted:How much a difference does Poindexter make? I’m trying to decide if the extra 0.5 skill points per level really matters. I do like having skills. It's hard to say, but I do like having it on my leadership/lockpicking/hacking guy regardless because this game likes to high-ball its skill requirements. The Bizarre is relatively early in the game but it already has 7 Lockpick and 6 Nerd Stuff checks. And there are no other good perks for a skill monkey type character anyway.

The capstone perk for Armor Modding is actually pretty good. (+5 Armor to everyone) I'm probably gonna keep Kwon in the companion slot to endgame so I stuck it on him (and it also complements Lucia's Weapon Modding)

My Brawler has come online and I will chime in and say that being a high Charisma punchman is Very Good. Even the spongiest of enemies is basically dead once my Brawler gets to them, and once I get the blunt weapon perk that auto-crits Stunned enemies...

Lmao so Charley gave a call asking for help to take over the Bizarre. I sided with Flab and killed Charley, then I went back to Little Vegas and he's still there chilling in his same spot. I can even tell Brygo that Charley's dead. I kinda like it though, he's like a lingering ghost only my party can see.

Fun fact: the Draw! perk from Small Arms doesn't necessarily apply on the weapon you just reloaded; you can, for example, reload a rocket launcher and take a 0 AP sniper rifle shot.

As far as I can tell the higher difficulties just increase enemy HP and increases their damage. Game says that your damage is lowered but I think it's just your... effective damage relative to the new enemy HP pool since weapon stats are unchanged.

Speaking of cover, for a cover-based shooting battle system there usually isn't much cover to go around on the maps. Most of the time I'm shooting out of cover whether because cover objects are sparse to begin with or the available covers are crap for shooting from. Ultimately I don't think it actually affects the gameplay that much, but I just find it funny.

I recruited Vic Buchanan for the heck of it but what is this Machine Gun/Pistol build I knew he's specced in Big Guns and Small Arms but I really thought he'd be using shotgun and flamethrower, that would at least make some gameplay sense, and more fitting to his character imo blizzardvizard fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Sep 9, 2020 |

Don't click on the filter icons while inside a traveling merchant's shop menu - sometimes the game will think you're trying to click on the radio, booting you out of the merchant screen to ask if you want a tow while the merchant has hosed off never to be seen again Normally this wouldn't matter much but there's an endgame traveling merchant that sells the best weapons in the game, so

People said earlier in the thread that sniper rifles drop off in power but my sniper has been MVP all game. Granted he's also my sneaky poo poo explosives guy, but even with the rifles he's getting Strike so often that he's my top damage dealer. Now he finally has over 50% strike rate which means Precision Strike every other shot Conversely I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but SMGs have been just okay. I can rely on Kwon to clean things up but he's never the one carrying the fight.

I think Polly would be fine in a "crosses the line thrice over" way if it were a one-off scene, which was what I treated it as since I didn't buy it off Larry.itry posted:There aren't a lot of sniper perks. If your sniper does enough damage, or has a high crit change, the level 10 perk can be very powerful. You can basically clean up a battlefield with a single ambush (as long as you don't have to reload). Also it's better to give explosives to your sniper if you want to sneak attack with a launcher. And there's a weapon mod that can convert a weapon into doing explosive damage. The mods that change your damage type are unique and have fixed location. I think the Explosive damage mod is somewhere in a mid to late-game location but I can't remember where. A couple other mods like the one that adds +20 damage but -10% hit chance are also unique. But yeah, weapon mods should have been easier to get. I can understand merchants not refreshing weapon stock since anything you sell will still be there anyway, but mods are one and done. (which is really dumb to begin with imo. At least make them removable with a capstone perk, or something) Field Stripping weapons for the mods is way too expensive and unreliable, plus as far as I can tell you can't get +Range scopes from field stripping, which is the most important one.

I thought Cordite's whole deal was kinda interesting at first. I don't really mind having "evil" party members given the setting, but being a unrepentant slaver just crossed the line so I capped him. Not that Victory is really any better I guess, but at least he's got personality. I like Lucia and Kwon well enough but they're a bit bland. Lucia moreso than Kwon. Pizepi's pretty cool, though. Would've liked to recruit her earlier and have her chime in more of the game's events. I'm pretty curious now too what Victory has to say if you recruit him before going to Denver and rescuing Valor.
