Bought it and the expansion on the sale. Any recommendations going in?
Don't specialize. Having a wide variety of skills is very important. Assault rifle and Psi builds are the worst in-game. Normal is way to easy, go straight to dominating.

One point in every skill except maybe melee where i invest a bit extra then maybe?

I started a small test run to get a bit of a feel for things and so far i got a very positive impression, the music and overall mood seems great. I was wondering about one thing though, the doc tells you that if you want PSI-powers can either take his pill and destroy your immune system or spend years "meditating". Can you actually activate your psi-abilities by meditating or smth or is this simply way to slightly nerf you if you want to go into psi powers?

The latter.

It doesn't do much, PSI is op for pmuch every char.

Don't play below Hard, Oddity highly recommended for first run.

Stealth in general can make your life less frustrating. Outside of combat:
- high perception lets you uncover secret areas,
- psi empathy and high will lets you learn some unique lore,
- high hacking lets you get additional information/lore too,
- high intelligence opens up some dialogue options in the dlc.

Made it to the black sea. I see the combat paradigm has changed a bit, waves of dudes who do hundreds of damage with multiple shots + poison but their equipment is only worth 100 UnderrailBucks or less. It would upset me if I wasn't already rich.

I'm supposed to defend these idiots who use sniper rifles and miss constantly, waste their grenades on one guy at a time, and have turrets but run ahead so they don't get any shots? Lovely. Who doesn't enjoy escort missions?

I think one guy died in the first attack, am I screwed or what?

Honestly it would be so unexpected and cool to have a combat with competent allies for once. Whenever someone fights alongside me in Underrail I go "meh" because it can be often better to be alone (because of course allies are not only incompetent, but also react to your slightest misstep, or like taking 1 damage from your caltrops, with MURDER).

the underrail wiki 'timeline' section states that Tanner contracts Oculus to steal the power cube from the faceless. I haven't played expedition yet, but I don't recall that ever being mentioned in the original game? Oculus seemed to have no clue who the faceless were

Is it possible to riftwalk out of Deep Caverns? I see a ''deep caverns elevator rift'' mentioned but couldn't find it.
Pretty sure it's to the southest on the ?bottom? level, the level where you exit SGS for the 3 gen starter quest. There's an elevator there and that damn blue thingy was there before the Dude even got expanded, drove me nuts I tell ya.

Go talk to Azif after you've finished DC.

You can speak to Abram about the Faceless, and I believe there's also a database entry about them on the information console next to the Big Board, so they're definitely on the Oculus's radar.

Yeah, I did talk to Abram, but I just remembered him recycling the standard stuff about them. I didn't know there was more stuff to learn from Azif after coming out of DC.

What the fuck, third time in a row I tried to end combat to recharge shield only for another enemy to turn up before I can do so.

-aiming of aoe attacks only scales to 90% so you occasionally instagib yourself with Cryothermic Orb
-Scanners occasionally killing me in one round (10 CON btw) or even in one hit. On one occasion one was walking towards me and I couldn't initiate combat because manual combat initiation was on cd so I just died.
-"You found two components for the gate, jk they're actually the wrong size lel"

And best of all, Eye of Chort makes it impractical to use speedhack. Never mind waiting in a cellar for that debuff to wear off, I'll be waiting another week irl before my butthurt wears off and I load the game up once more to inch another step closer to the end.
