Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Ramnozack]

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie to the cRPG genre and I was wondering if this game is right for me. So far, I have only played Fallout, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Dragon age: Origins and Pillars of Eternity 2, and I liked all of them, my favorite was Shadowrun. How hard is the game compared to these games? Also, does it have a lot of frustrating design choices? From what i've read people dont seem to like the backtracking and the slow walking speed, is that fixed? How long will it take me to go through the game? Also, is there a lot of situations where you dont know where to go and are just exploring until you stumble onto something that progresses the game?

Thank you in advance.

just pirate and try it out dude

How dare you. This poor Serb spent 3 years in a cave making this game and you wont even put out 30 shekels to buy pure incline.

what if the game sucks ass (for Val) and he wants to keep his shekels

the two hour limit is laughable and you know it

safer to just pirate it and buy later after you know the game is solid 8+ hours in

shotty build beginning to take off, my grenadier shotgunner is fun as heck. i have mountains of molotovs, nets, flashbangs, and smoke nades for any situation. should probably invest in electronics to build some EMP nades but I could just buy those. i have pathetic initiative, but nothing starting up combat mode before opening a door cannot fix.

It's a more hardcore RPG than those latter three, but not by some preposterous degree, and once you get into it you'll be rewarded with a far superior combat experience in particular. Many Codexers consider Underrail one of the best CRPGs, period.

It's going to be more grounded and sombre than the spectacular 'epic' of especially DAO. In many ways its design sensibilities will be more true to Fallout than the other three you've played. The slow walking speeds are now mitigated with an in-game speedup option similar to POE. It's not a very expensive game at all. Get it!

Spoiler

is that language based on something in real life or just gibberish?

Spoiler

It's like an amalgamation of different slavic languages. I can recognize a few words from my own language and make at least a bit of sense out of most of it. All of it has actual meaning, none is gibberish. The same goes for the language savages use.

Are there plenty of Q185 stuff in the expansion content? Did find any yet in the base game, upto Institute.

No, the highest quality components I could find before DC with Expedition were around 150, with the exception of super steel that goes up to 160. They could be that high in DC, maybe, but that's very unreliable and imo not worth spending points for. They also could be a bit higher before DC with mercantile, but I wouldn't know.

I found up to 160 before DC, that's standard for pre-XP. The tables on the wiki got increased to 185, might be found in DC then.

He's a very old character, he just got new sprites fairly recently.

which vendors without mercantile give highest quality crafting stuff? Mainly interested in cloth, padding and electronics

From what I can dimly recall, you'll tend to find the best stuff in Core City and Foundry. The electronics shop in Junkyard is also good, the faction vendors (one of them, anyway) is good for stocking up on compounds for manufacturing explosives, and I think the surgeon in Junkyard occasionally sells high-quality psi components.

Also, I believe most of the merchants in the game get a stock upgrade after a certain point, or maybe it's just SGS.

Funny enough, the most powerful defensive skill is Electronics.
Would you not agree, Styg ?

Yeah, pretty much. Shield emitters stronk.

Styg, does that sound like a good idea?

I just finished the West Storage Facility and I'm in love.

speaking of sneaky 3 con builds with no defenses, here is beautiful carnage left by my thrower

there was only single trap laid out.


in a month maybe i will reach dlc content

Can you post your thrower build? I tried playing one and it was woefully ineffective. What difficulty was this on?

For black cloth and padding it's Harold and Derica. Maybe Lucas and Beckett too. Chance is low so visit them often. For electronics it's Investigator Kiro of Tchortists, Buzzer and a shop of secret organization. Halim and Coretech merchant aren't bad either.
For blast cloth visit Oscar.

It isn't. If you have high enough persuasion you get a unique shotgun called "Shoddy Shotty".

Ezra can have surprisingly good electronics, too. At least after tchortists get the Cube.

Wait what? I tried rolling with 15 Pers and it wasn't enough. Maybe you need something like 20 with INT bonus?!

[Elephantman]

Its a really shoddy shotty.
