Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[epeli]

I think it's somewhat important that the very, very early game experience (for everyone, not just min-maxing grognards who've already been playing hundreds of hours... guess which category your testers probably fall into?) not be excessively obnoxious for the sake of making sure X or Y isn't "too OP" later.

Let me assure you, making things pointlessly hard is not Styg's intention nor style. He'd rather make players too OP than too weak and then slowly work down from that, as seen in the previous iterations of the psi system. And the devs certainly minmax less than your average grognard does - not that minmaxing would change the first few levels in any significant way.

Also keep in mind that you are playing on hard - that's definitely not for everyone. It has the most profound effect is on early game since avoidance, armor mitigation and energy shields do not yet have much of a role.

In any case, I'm sincerely looking forward to reading your opinions and suggestions on psi as a whole once you've completed a playthrough. Good luck and may psi open its secrets to you.

I wouldn't be surprised if these inventory / carrying / .. limitations were implemented in the first RPG games solely due to technical limitations

Oh my god

 

[Fenix]

Also did you guys noticed changes in fishing? :D

At last, my madskillz in paint.

Gonna ask again since I didn't get an answer. Do regular pistols work the same way as energy pistols? I mean they benefit from the same skills, feat, dex and perception?

 

[PhantasmaNL]

Guns= fire arms, energy weapons, chemical weapons

 

[Alienman]

Okay nice!

 

[Xzylvador]

How about burrowers? You can't got keycard without Persuasion (or you can?)

You can't. *cry*
Had a minor OCD-induced stroke when I found out part of the map was now unaccessible to me.

Energy pistols=fire arms, except a few feats that work only for firearms, not energy pistols.

Also guys, I advise that you save in few different slots on territories that even partially controlled.
In 1.0.0.0 were implemented new scripts, so you can do something that induce hostility of some faction.

You can get it later from the Scientist in your homebase. The one doing the experiments on animals. You need to whine to him that Gorsky stopped you from collecting valueable data.

Welll I have heard that you can ask keycard later in the game, in SGS, if you have not enough Persuasion at that moment.

Found a small map bug.

On the bridge leading to raider hideout past the GSM compound there is a steel barrel that you and enemies can simply walk through. It's the first barrel (closest to the bear traps).

Calling Styg to this:

Good luck, I've been trying also and it seems he's just ignoring anyone who brings the issue up. Thankfully the pirates are supporting the game. Pretty fucked up when pirates are giving better customer service than the actual developer.
For the dumbasses that bought it on gog, I hope he doesn't decide that they are too much work to justify patching the game and abandon it to only update the steam version.

Thankfully, this wont happen to me anymore. Bought this game years ago, but now I just skip the buying and go straight to pirating. No point in paying for a game I'm going to have to pirate anyway. This shit happens too often.

Pirating realFallout 3. What is this I don't even.

I found some animal pens, tried to capture some cats and dogs with them but always fail. Tried about 10 times, what is the trick with this? And what do you do with them?

I was able to capture them easily just by initiating combat when one of them was nearby, then using the animal carrier on them, no net (or stealth) required.

Not sure if exploit or "clever use of game mechanics"...

Are you talking about cats and dogs or hoppers?

What, they're mad at developers because GOG.com doesn't handle patches during weekends unlike Steam?

I'm about 10 hours in and I'm regretting putting points in persuasion. Is it better going for another weapon type or more crafting options rather than taking a communication skill? Also, whats a good amount of perception for an smg user if all I want to do is use it for close ranged burst occasionally? I'm mainly using it as a back up for my knife guy but some of the feat choices seem so nice that I might want to use it more when I have more ammo to play around with.

Haha so its basically "I bought the game on Desura and it went the way of the Dodo, That evil Styg is now giving Steam keys to those who had the game on Desura but I dont like Steam, it stinks, I demand GoG key!"

Oh, right. They're mad at developers because Desura died.

 

[Fenix]

I almost feared that this was a nasty bug that somehow crawl into release, but it seems that quest for Fishing that Kareem offered before, was just replaced with more interesting. :russia:

 

[udm]

I wonder, though, how many of those who own the game on Desura had actually acquired the game via the Groupees bundle, which you could only pay a dollar for to get Underrail along with another game.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

What the world owes these non-contributing zeroes for ten dollars. I am going to buy another gog key and give it to someone who isn't s sniveling, entitled nothing just because.

!!! Thank you for that info. Would've probably found out later, but good to know nonetheless.
Avoiding those nasty critters for the moment though. They were much easier to deal with shooting assault rifles and psychokinesis during EA than now with my stealth/crossbow guy.

Hoppers, ofc.. I haven't even tried capturing the cats/dogs, figuring their owners wouldn't be very happy about that.

(that said, the cat and dog sounds are kinda obnoxious -- whenever I visit the cantina, I get flashbacks to the Divinity OS fight in the temple with the captives yelling some variation of "OMG don't kill us!11" every 5 seconds or so...)

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

I bought too much Underrail in rapid succession from GoG that they have blocked me from purchases for suspicion of fraud or something. Support ticket opened.

Why don't hey allow purchase of multiple gift copies at once? (I asked them, awaiting reply). It's like Pierre Beague is in charge of their business development.

 

[Zombra]

Random cosmetic question ... do armor, helmets etc. appear visually on the PC in the game field?
