Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Fry]

Ok, help out a noob.

I'm level 2 and trying to get Quinton to teach me pyrokinesis, which requires 25 in metathermics. I have a "natural" 20 in that skill, but (25) with bonuses. He won't do it. Claims I'm not ready.

Do I need to have a natural 25? Have I hit a max for the skill based on my level?

Do I need to have a natural 25? Have I hit a max for the skill based on my level?

Yes, you need a base score of 25. Synergies/attribute bonuses don't count.

It's not a big deal though as you'll have a high enough score to get everything they teach before you're even 1/4 of the way to max level, provided you max them out every level (you should always max out primary offensive skills each level, no exceptions).

Other than the endgame, what content-wise has changed since say early August?

Well, they put more shitters and safes in SGS, and also a cat.

Hadrian Tanner used to be a white nerd, but transformed into an aborigine construction worker who owns the only pair of Oakley sunglasses in the Underrail.

Someone dumped about ten thousand tons of trash on Junkyard via aerial bombardment of some sort, so it looks 200% junkier.

The shitty but beloved old cave walls have been replaced with HD cave walls.

 

[Goblino]

Anything as far as changes in balance or new items/skills? I'm literally salivating and thinking about how cool it was playing this back in the summer.

Money has become more scarce, i am at rail crossing and instead of having 2 full stacks of Charons with half of a third i only one full stack and a quarter full second one and it fluctuates pretty hard.

The sound system has made certain fights much harder, but my more refined and optimized build is helping as kevlar balaclava combined with tactical vest and the ballistics perk is letting me soak up to 36 mechanical damage, oh amusingly dogs are now the greatest threat my character faces as they stack tackle and and i end up flailing around like a retard missing dogs right in front of me with 20% chance to hit, psi costs are so high that 3 dogs can make you sit down and wait 5 turns if you don't use a booster so i dread to think how a build without psi would handle them.

Have to say. Molotovs rocks. Molotovs are fairly new weapon right? Can't remember that I ever had access to those in the alpha version?

 

[Fenix]

Molotovs rocks.

Even "too rocks".
it is a noob's helping hand, first tier fire grenade and it is better than anything else. I wonder what can do tier 2 grenade, magnesium, and... napalm!

 

[roshan]

Really don't understand all the fuss about Fallout. I played most of Fallout last year and it had really terrible writing. Underrail's writing is quite a bit better.

Not really. In alpha I've made a character with great throw stat, and I also utilized molotovs to great effect. It's indeed incredibly good and... satisfying weapon to use.

Could be the rest of us are tasting that delicious nostalgia frosting. It's been a while since I've played either of the originals, so it's hard for me to compare and contrast; I finally got tired of playing them 5-6 years ago.

Pop culture references or no, I think that Fallout 2 had the best characterizations. Myron, Marcus, Sulik, Hakunin, First Bitchizen Lynette, and Dick "McCock" Richardson really stand out.

Is there somewhere to sell extra captured hoppers? Or should I just drop them? They are heavy gawd damn

 

[Blaine]

I don't think they can be sold, not even to Bret.

I decided to use my two lockers in private room for extra stuff. One is for components and other for the rest. I got few thousand of SGS credits worth of items inside there already due to local shopkeepers not having enough money or not wanting to buy it.

 

[Tao]

I sold them in the Junkyard to the "chef" for a Surprise bow and a few Stygian coins.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Just cleared burrowers nest in vault with a well placed molotov+gas canister. While burrowers and their spawns melting and burning, I laughed at them behind my metal armor and energy shield.

Spoiler

Only got 2 oddity xp and not so phat loot though, phat loot indeed...

 

[you know what time it is]

Are there any cheats or console commands? I'm pretty much stuck with 3 sentry bots camping the only exit from the level I'm in (idk why they camp it, since I didn't engage them before, might be a bug)

 

[Jack Dandy]

Man, oh man.

This is a general complaint for RPGs, not just for Underrail- I wish each and every single one of them had an in-game text\note editor.

The little things that you want to check up on, and don't pop up in the "Missions Pending" screen... Dagnabbit. Now I have to save it all in some dinky .txt file outside the game.

 

[John_Blazze]

Is it a good idea to start my 1st playtrough with oddity system?

I remember it for the first few hours I put in some time ago. I have no idea if it works for the whole run.

Ye Ye Fargboy, tell me how good you are at killing 3 sentry bots on hard difficulty as a stealth/crossbow character with no nades or utility left and closest vent shaft 3 turns away. (assuming I will resist every single stun/flash for said 3 turns)

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I thought that vent shafts couldn't be used in combat.

 

[Tigranes]

Oddity is fine for everyone.

I wasn't paying attention to the knife dude in junkyard when he told me where his secret passage to his old house was, and ran around looking for it for a half hour before resorting to a youtube play through.

How do you guys manage to make Energy weapons work? I made a character with these stats:

6 Str
8 Dex
3 Agi
5 Con
8 Per
3 Will
7 Int

The problem here is that it feels like I'm spreading myself too thin because I lack the sufficient Dex to use Energy weapons well without wasting all my AP on a single shot / 2 shots with a Laser (this will fix itself later if I keep investing Dex every 4 levels, but it will take a long time) and I feel that the 7 Int is sorta needed for the Electronics crafting Feats, but OTOH normal Mechanic guns seem to get better crafting Feats. The basic Laser weapon does pretty crappy damage and the Plasma gun is a hog for AP. I'm just not sure what I should go for with Energy weapons. They just seem inferior to normal guns.
