XCOM V4: "Svinnik - Why is Shen's daughter asian, when Shen is black?"

I really hope we get more people like CapnBubs in the mod community. I think my favorite part about his stuff is that it [i]looks[/i] like it belongs in the game.

[goldenbuttocks]

Is there a mod or ini tweak that removes armor restrictions? I want to wear a mask along with the long hood.

Hopefully the game doesn't get infected with the weird fetish mods crap sub culture that Bethesda games have, a lot of modder skill is wasted on creating nothing but pure wank material, hell, some extremely awesome options that are hardly used in actual lore friendly style mods within said games are usually only used extensively to make fetish mods better.

Then again, the Snek is bound to get a "topless" mod or some shit like that at some point. :nope:

Let people do what they want and don't just search for stuff like that. I understand the sentiment fully, though, since that's really how I feel about a lot of things, but in the end let the people do what they want.

Is it really [I]wasted[/I] skill for them to do stuff that you don't necessarily accept?

[Kite_shugo]

uhhh I just had my sharpshooter use bladestorm on a stun lancer?

i thought that was only for rangers, he doesn't have that ability, he also didn't have the model for the arc blade.

magical glitch. It stunned the stun lancer and saved my ass

The thing about Bethesda games though is that they have a hugely wide audience and are easy to get into. I'd think turn based strategy games are a bit more niche and thus might not attract as many people just looking for a waifu / sex dungeon simulator.

Given how the game is designed, I don't see why anyone would, but at the same time there's still fetish mods for games like Dota and LoL, so I'll probably be proved dead wrong in the coming months.

Did he pass your Ranger on the way to the Sharpshooter? Cause it happened to me once when one rushed my Specialist and just died.

[Mralexs]

So what voice should I do next? Nod Officer or Havoc? Disagree for Nod Officer Winner for Havoc

[Spongmana]

How hard is the game to mod? I'm thinking about making a adrenaline shot item which temporarily revives unconscious soldiers, is it hard to pick up the modding and worth downloading over 60 Gb?

[CaelReader]

Final Mission had a pod of 6 MECs, Mimic Beaconed them into my Sniper's Kill Zone, 5/6 died. AP Rounds are the best.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;49746185]Speaking of ADVENT, am I the only one who have begun deciphering the words they actually say? Like at first it was as if I was playing Half Life 2 and hearing the Combine chatter for the first time but now I'm sure I can distinctly here phrases like "Hold it!", "Alert!" and "Lock it down!"

Or am I just imagining?[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure ADVENT are speaking a made up alien language, while the Combine are speaking English just with modified or replaced vocal cords. In Nova Prospekt it's the most obvious that they're speaking English, because your HEV suit picks up their broadcasts loud and clear. I also loved the feel of progression it gave you via the updates on Nova Prospekt's security force.

"Team Sundown 3, set viscerators at Sector Index 5 and advance for contact, we have biotics in the perimeter."
*later*
"Team Sundown 3 deserviced, Helix 2 go active intercept. Leader 12 out."

"Overwatch activate central transport stabilization teams."
*later*
"Central transport facility Nova Pospekt contact blackout, full biotic overrun."

Another reason the Combine are one of my favourite enemies, the colourful vocabulary and unusual sentence structure.

[pebkac]

Protip for those who don't know yet: If you're getting long load times when returning to the Avenger from a mission, hit caps-lock. The loading will complete almost immediately.

It's OK, he'll be captured and if you recover him later from a councilman mission he gets a promotion.

[CaelReader]

Goddamn the last mission is a huge spike in difficulty.

[Skellyman]

Beat the game on commander today, quite chuffed. Now I'm having difficulty beating the first mission on legend.
Really disheartening when I see those youtubers who play a lot of xcom get perfect shots on legend in the early game but my guys miss more often than not. :saddowns:

just remember that you cant see the .ini edits from streamers and just assume they're all dirty cheaters to make you feel better

i sure did after failing Gatecrasher for three times

Yeah, ADVENT troops speak an alien language of some sorts, some common language with their alien masters (But one that I doubt is the Ethereals original language)

And yes, that is one of the reasons I love the Combine (That and just their general aesthetic is awesome) - The fact that they use human language twisted to inhuman logic, which ends up with some absolutely great imagery in their combat cant. Also - Mechanical Procreation Simulation as a reward for good service from Civil Protection officers (The volunteer force of the Combine). All the threats of offworld reassignment levelled at Overwatch transhuman soldiers during Nova Prospekt too, which is a very nice and casual way of reinforcing the trans-universal nature of the Combine...

Just fantastic world building really.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;49748506]I don't have any psi ops.[/QUOTE]

But Psi-ops are so damn useful, tho I'll admit my first time playing I didn't develop or even build the psi-lab.

Second times the charm tho, they got me out of some tough scrapes.

[CaelReader]

Managed to beat the final mission with the sacrifice of all but 2 of my squad (RIP Jane Kelly), and my Sniper grappling onto a very exposed position to deal 10 damage. [sp]Finished off the last Avatar with a Null Lance from my Avatar.[/sp]

[sp]Terror From The Deep 2 Confirmed?[/sp]

[sp]I saw people mentioning the Volunteer, but I didn't see anything about them[/sp]

My Sniper had nearly 100 kills by the end.

This is the dumbest situation I have been in so far. There is no way to get to the evac point anymore. This run is over.

[Skyward]

Psi-Ops are incredible and suuuuper fun to use in this one.

They can make some missions into straight up easy mode.

You can force the game to relocate the evac point by blowing up the roof, but obviously you won't get any extra time and you'll still be boned in that instance

It doesn't apply retroactively so some existing soldiers will get nothing, but [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=620586407]there's a mod for that™[/url]!
