You know Commissar Comrade not some bleeding heart liberal cuck here but man who enjoys day of good purging and scurging but...

Quest giver turns to be Circus Mutant too not concerned Wasteland Patriot.

I always talk to NPCs in such game and those circus freaks are really not SJWs always offended bunch and snow flake entitled bunch they do know their proper place after all so I decided to go back to quest giver and told him to be not such triggered twat. There are many occasions when you can go Judge Dread/Comrade Stalin on people who do deserve it but those mutants were harmless and add some entertainment to wasteland. I genuinely pitted them but to not the extend of expending my ammo to give them Lenin's mercy.

 

God Emprah himself would be proud of you.

 

Just booted up the game for a bit to see the key bindings and how combat speed slider work in actual combat. Thank you, Atomboy and team, very cool.

It's a bummer we can't seem to win or talk our way out of that first encounter with the robbers. But I just found out that we have to be knocked down while their leader is still ALIVE. If you managed to kill him (which I just did), his henchmen would continue to attack you even if you're knocked down until you're killed, which is hilarious I think part of why I actually managed to kill someone here is thanks to the reworked aimed attacks. I was unarmed, made the character with 11 STR, 9 END, and 11 DEX, focused all the skill points into Martial Arts, took Black Belt and Lone Wolf which make the skill at 101 from that very get-go. 2nd aimed shot to robber leader's eye knocked him down, and the third and the last to his eye finally killed him.

Anyway, is there any implication that our female character get gangraped by those robbers at the start? I'd say it will be VERY weird of those robbers for not having fun with our female character's unconscious body and only took our stuff.

 

What's up with this +1 str beret you either get in your tent at the begninning or not? I noticed if I take ATOM uniform I get it, but veteran, action hero or traveler don't.

 

seeing this dude in the game as an old man cracked me up

 

I'm only disappointed I've yet to run into Alex Jones. So many opportunities with the tinfoil guys, maybe he's still coming.

 

I got impression from the dialogue that they would use condoms and lube if you pass the Speech-craft check Comrade.

Seriously this game will trigger SJWs rape or not.

 

Dead city or mountain pass first?

 

They're roughly speaking public domain.

 

It depends on your starting "kit". See my post here. You get the Beret with Veteran, but not with anything else.

Chosen One gets a Gas-Mask, Veteran gets a Beret, Ranger gets a silly hat. Nobody else gets anything.
Chosen One and Ranger also gets a special Distinction each.
If you've activated the "atom" Kickstarter Code, everyone also gets dog tags and a knife.

It's a pity nobody else gets anything special, even if it's minor.

 

Your pick comrade:

I found best sniper riffle in hole game for my brave Ossetian Sniper to use in Pass bunker but Dead City also has some nice gadgets and has harder fights

. But it really doesn't matter as much.

 

I'm just glad this game is way better than INSOMNIA.
Expectations was low but the price is right, overall I'm satisfied with the game, despite the combat being a WIP.

Current char:



If I have one complaint it's the sleep-inducing music.
I turned it off and just loop this over n over:

 

I remember that some game needed to license them too but maybe they indeed changed the law Comrade.

Army Uniform: Blue Beret

Jacket and sneakers: abibas backpack

Skimpy Outfit: Pack of persistent condoms (with extra XP from sex)

I would add those but from practical point of view the Chosen one is the best one of lot: Gas Mask which doesn't reduce your Attention and stylish yet practical for wasteland clothes.

 

Found a bug:

Shooting Gallery Fan lists -15 Unarmed, but actually gives -15 Martial Arts and -15 Melee Weapons. Because "Unarmed" is not a skill and Melee Weapons is definitely not the same thing as being "unarmed".

"Unarmed" should be changed to "Melee-related skills".

Exactly. Chosen One both feels appropriate and looks good, and it gives you an excellent piece of equipment, and it gives you a unique (although arguably annoying/joke-y) Distinction. While I'm not balance-fag, I dislike such no-contest options. I can't see myself ever picking anything else. The Veteran outfit could at least compete if it would've looked more rugged, like some form of commissar's coat rather than a freshly cleaned and pressed parade uniform, and came with a Distinction that made people react to the fact that you're running around in an officer's uniform, or be able to bark orders at some people.

 

This is Sp... *cough*

Ah, good to know it. But I meant different thing - have you read second part, that suddenly get S. King-escue vibe and content? Which was at some points on pair with King's writing.

You actually can, I have read about this on rutracker at least. With knife you can eliminate them all.

 

For those of you that are into editing your saves, these are the strings for the extra items:
Black Beret (Veteran): {"class":"Uniform", "skin":"NoSkin", "count":"1", "proto":"BlackBeret"}
Stalker Gas Mask (Chosen One): {"class":"Uniform", "skin":"Skin_1", "count":"1", "proto":"StalkerMask"}
Ranger Hate (Ranger): {"class":"Uniform", "skin":"Skin_2", "count":"1", "proto":"PanamaRanger"}

The extra perks/distinctions are Special_Ranger and Special_Stalker.

Extracting the .as save-files works great with 7zip, but has anyone figured out how to archive them again? I can't get it to work. I'm trying to remove my Chosen One distinction. I archive it and stick it into the save folder, but the game doesn't even show the save.

 

Where can you get a knife? Put in spoiler, pls

 

Use the KS code and you start with one. Otherwise dig up the grave at Otra.

 

I'm not sure if anyone has noted it, but it's entirely possible to win the fight in the beginning, and if you do, you start with tons of shit, including a knife, whether you're using the Kickstarter code or not.

Not sure how things play out from there on, though.

 

there's probably a good way to do it and a bad way.
with p&p you have the rule books and you can read them while playing if anything is unclear. you don't have to, but you can!
even spoilers in forums exist.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

you don't have to read them, but you can!

i'm saying it doesn't have to be blatant but it has to be available.
but how much speech i need to pass a skill check is not even the real issue. i also want all calculations to be shown. i want to know when i pick a lock whether luck was involved or not, how high i rolled, how high the difficulty of the lock was, everything...
in the lower left of the screen there's a log. that log should be more powerful. if you think some people might only be interested in when and how much experience they got but not in the calculations, by all means, place a switch above it to toggle between the simpleton log and the real log, but give us a real log.

otherwise, great game and i love it that you keep in touch with us!

 

If it writes "failed to pick", you can do it at some %.

"Can't break the lock" means you need to raise your lockpicking skill.

 

So this guy annoys me a lot, demanding 7000 rubles for entry.
I haggled him down to 3,500 but I'm still not happy...



Then I remembered something...



'Have a smoke, Comrade.'

 

That was neat.

 

Glad to see my review make it here. I'm disappointed that no other gaming press has reviewed the game. Even the ones that cover indie titles.
