XCOM V5: Grazed shots still count as hits - Games

Yeah, they could easily reintroduce EXALT just saying that the agents on the final mission were an ambush and the main guys behind it had gone into hiding if they make a game continuing on from EU/EW.

[QUOTE=Nerts;49996902]Yeah, they could easily reintroduce EXALT just saying that the agents on the final mission were an ambush and the main guys behind it had gone into hiding if they make a game continuing on from EU/EW.[/QUOTE] But what would EXALT be doing in XCOM 2? What would be their purpose when the aliens are already in charge?

I thought Vahlen's secret society was meant to be the new EXALT, albeit not as evil?

Fuck my favourite captain just got one-shot crit melee'd by a poisoned Archon while under aid protocol.

Maybe EXALT will be re-introduced in expansion pack? Same as it happened in EW.

Maybe not EXALT, but more of a treason within the resistance angle could be interesting. Human auxiliaries, traitors and infiltrators, essentially.

I like that idea

[QUOTE=Cuel;49998510]I like that idea[/QUOTE] Then it turns out that the (ME3 ending spoilers if anyone hasn't played yet)[sp]leader of EXALT becomes corrupted by the power of Ethereals.[/sp]

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;49998312]The Cerberus of XCOM?[/QUOTE]Something like that, except having reasons to support the aliens more varied than simple indoctrination (though perhaps some might be). Promises of positions of power, material reward (gene therapy to make them demigods, snek waifu etc.), and perhaps simply disagreeing with XCOM's aims on an ideological basis come to mind.

I forgot I had Jedi Class mod installed and got surprised when I saw this: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/284098101646484895/1D06AEE7BA6F7ACB1C9BF8B7405FE7DEA424A45F/[/t] Scorch, the Jedi among the Republic Commandos...even though his flag is Rebel Alliance but that's because there's no Galactic Republic flag so I went with Rebel Alliance because I want to believe these dudes are too smart to follow the Galactic Republic.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;49996971]But what would EXALT be doing in XCOM 2? What would be their purpose when the aliens are already in charge?[/QUOTE] Well their purpose in the first game was never made explicitly clear. The Councilman tells us they want an Alien Victory, but some of their missions take place in the aftermath of an EXALT - Alien attack. Their true long-term goal is never made quite clear, so it's open to some interpretation even in XCOM 2. Perhaps the ADVENT Administration isn't quite to their liking, and they want to control the world themselves? Maybe they want Alien technology without Alien rulers, but consider XCOM to be a hindrance or a threat? [editline]24th March 2016[/editline] TV Tropes claims they are a rogue element of the CIA's XCOM, but I don't know if those games are even in the same canon.

I was under the general impression that EXALT wanted alien tech for their own benefit, so their plan was to let the aliens do what they want with Earth, and that they'd rule over what's left when they leave. The lavish and expensive furnishings of EXALT's headquarters goes some way to emphasising that.

So, they don't know what the aliens are doing, but hope they leave eventually.

I've always imagine EXALT having goals somewhat akin to the Breen administration in HL2, and XCOM greeting the aliens with Avalanche missiles throws a spanner in the works.

EXALT are bros now, the bandana customization option proves it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

As a matter of fact, it's extremely likely that EXALT would oppose the ADVENT administration, seeing as they wanted to take power after the invasion.

I'd be interested in a mod that brings back EXALT... but not in an antagonistic role. Perhaps make it as they're a thing you can help fund/hire to work against ADVENT/the aliens. With enough resources at the right time, they could, say, delay a retaliation strike, or cancel a dark event. A reworking of the covert operative system from Enemy Within.

You could spend excess intel/supplies to basically hold the enemy off for longer and buy yourself time to finish a building, tech, recovering soldiers, etc.

They didn't even try to be subtle with this one [IMG]http://s10.postimg.org/pj6e3wi6h/20160323233608_1.jpg[/IMG]

Speaking of, once I had a thought that The New Order Nazi Germany and ADVENT aren't really that much different from each other. A mod that brings in units from The New Order into the game would be pretty cool.

They're practically a 1:1 match with Hitler's regime in the core of Germany, with ayy lmao duct-taped on.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4fSdpLK.png[/IMG] i saw this in some one elses picture anyone know what mod it is that gives these stats on hp bars? Also anyone have a good voice pack suggestion for a western-ish cowboy vibe voice pack that would sound good on gunslingers ?

You mean like "Green around the gills" and whatnot?
