7.5... I think it deserved at least an 8, but seeing as the reviewer is more of a story\reactivityfag than a combatfag, it's not surprising.
Still, the dude's not a dumb-dumb. I like his other articles. Guess this is just a matter of taste.

also Styg epeli WHERE IS THE FUCKING LOADING TIME PATCH

 

[Ellef]

Started to wander after killing the Rathound, ended up in some complex with that Balor guy in it. Noise plays a huge factor, it was absolutely brutal as the whole facility verged on my position round after round as I held out and popped back into a small room to reload and heal up whenever I could.

Balor didn't get to touch me as Blitz + sprint + adrenal shot had thankfully cooled down by then

For anyone who has reached the Institute:

Spoiler

Investigation or Propagation, so you choose one? Which one has more interesting quests - less backtracking all across the map (like, say, Kill the Beasts, Lost Train, some of the Jack Quicksilver investigations) and more interesting combat/infiltration?

You can do both but as a warning the last security mission will end with you in a section you can't escape from without killing the enemies and well,

Spoiler

Its a fuck ton of sentry bots plasma sentries and kamikaze bots with some plasma turrets at the end, if you don't have high mechanical damage or a way to deal with waves of robots (like 3 waves) don't even bother and save yourself the pain.

You can avoid all of that with high hacking skill.

Also, epeli - a few minor bugs I have read about - you can Snipe rocks in end-game with sniper rifle (TNT don't needed yay), and you can Dirty Kick punching bag (lol it has da ballz). Just in case I'll forget to post them on off. forum.

Dude, just keep posting your bugs at underrail.com. That's what the devs prefer. Even if I don't completely miss bugs posted here, I will probably forget to IM Styg and he will probably forget to fix them even if I do.

Also, how is the dodge penalty from goggles calculated? Is it deducted from the effective skill level or from the dodge chance that's derived from your dodge and opponent's melee skill?

It's a penalty to your effective skill level. Check your combat stats menu. Some of the skill names can be ambiguous, but whenever you see something possibly ambiguous like "-25% Dodge" or "+10% Traps" on item stats, they refer to the skill name.

DC Spoilers

The complaint about "hordes of respawning creatures" in DC is getting tiresome at this point. I'm pretty sure I'm not some kind of Underrail savant, and I have at least two saves where I encountered not even one Tchort creature due to Tchort debuff spawning. Once I learned how the Tchort debuff worked, I simply made sure I didn't trigger it - or at least not for very long. It's actually exceedingly easy. Do some people really walk around with maxed Tchort debuff and fight endless waves of creatures? Are hypothetical combats the next step in Kodex Kriticism? Will newfags learn to get out of Stealth and walk fearlessly on the ashes of their doomed forefathers, lest they themselves run out of time?

There are plenty of flaws in DC to pan, the "hordes of respawning creatures" is just laziness or inability on the part of the speaker to form a coherent thought. The very worst conceivable build in the game can navigate 80% of DC without issue - and that is the real problem, the lack of interesting/challenging combat encounters available.

I know but i had 0 hacking so it led to me raging a little bit then going reloading going straight for first gate when it opened emp grenade them all them all and burst to win then repeating on second gate then i hid in the room and sniped a few more on their patrols 20 tiles away and hid till they were down to a manageable number.

So about buying housing in Core City

Spoiler

I found this Jyles guy who sells housing but won't sell me shit because rite nao there's a faceless invasion something. What do I need to do to buy a hizzo?

 

[Blaine]

circ Finish one of the local faction quest lines, and have an aircraft carrier filled with Charons handy.

Speaking of Core City, I nerve stapled a Coretech guard to see what would happen. The Praetorians, JKK, and civilians didn't care.

Looks like it's open season on people I don't like!

How does extra elemental damage work regarding crits?

There is no cavern system in Underrail complex enough to get lost in "for several hours" unless you are an idiot with absolutely no memory or sense of direction. If you're that impaired, then leave a trail of dropped rags showing you the way back to a known point of safety.

Freely admitting that you're unable to cope with a computer game consisting of square fucking rooms as though the real problem is the lack of a map... well, it's idiotic.

Anyway, onto more important (to me) things:

Loot porn?

Check this:

How does the extra electric damage work regarding crits? Does it use the weapon crit chance/dmg multiplier?

How do I hax plasma sentries as a full psi? I can drop about 6-7 Electrokinesis until its shields go up at which point I do next to nothing and I'm dead or running the fuck away. I could cheese it and a. switch screens, sneak, wait for shields to go back down but that's just cheaty. Or b. save scum until I get crit hit Electrokinesises. Most of my psi skills are vs non-machines and I don't know, or atleast I don't have a skill that does damage vs shields or more damage than EK atm.

Use Telekinetic Proxy and Telekinetic Punch. You can easily kill a Plasma Sentry in one turn with that combo, especially if you have Pisonic Mania to guarantee the critical. Add in Neural Overclocking and Trance and you can even do over 1,500 damage in a turn.

Wich builds are you using ?

What's the best way to deal with bladelings as an SMG user? Ideally I'd like to keep my stockpiles of AP ammo for Deep Caverns. I've got access to microshrapnel bullets but that's about it, RNGesus hasn't been kind (no shock, no incendiary). I can also make a wide variety of high level grenades.

 

[Sykar]

EMP is shittier damage than Electrokinesis. How do I get Implosion? Also TK Punch is kinda useless with my 3 str/dex 0 melee.

Telekinetic punch is not dependent on your strength, just your psychokinesis skill. The problem is it has a long cooldown, which means you can't use it that often in a fight. EMP grenades are good if you have a group of enemies with shields clustered together, but if you are using shields or any other charged devices yourself, you better not miss. For groups of sentries I've found EMP , followed by psionic mania/electrokinesis better - if you have equipment raising the critical damage of spells.

It is when you have Corporeal Projection feat.

What the fuck man? Lead Fury the new invictus! There's no way I would have beat Carnifex without save scumming for initiative + quick tinkering. I have no idea how the fuck you're supposed to take that guy when he double stuns you in the first round and then consequently fucks your shit up. Well anyway, now that's he's the one done got fucked up, only reason I did Arena was because some oligarch rep was supposed to talk to me outside, before Invictus fight I'm guessing. WELL MOTHERFUCKER. I'm now Invictus and ain't no nigger anywhere. What the fuck? Do I need to complete Gauntlet first? Or did I just need to finish the Gauntlet?

 

[Bubbles]

I think circ meant Force Emission

 

[Xzylvador]

Fuck you Fort Apogee:
<snipped endless death pics>

Any consequences to be be afraid of when doing this (following Free Drones quests), bug wise or unfinishable quests? Loot and oddities seem nice.
Will need to stock up on mines, traps and poison 'nades; no way my stealth xbow can pull this off without LOADS of prepping.

 

[hivemind]

Does this game have a steam demo?

 

[ArchAngel]

Fuck you Fort Apogee:

Fist is OP.

It must be fun to now have all that useless currency

have you done quests for any of the factions yet?

 

[circ]

No. I read you're supposed to complete Arena to a certain stage to get the factions to notice you and actually give you quests.

 

[Blackmill]

Could someone point me towards fixed locations or vendors for Neurovisual Disruption and Cryokinetic Orb? Those are the two I still don't have.

Is there a way to use that tool to play a lower resolution at fullscreen windowless? If I want to use 720p, I can't stretch it full screen and stay windowed for dual monitor usage.

I use a program called display changer that supports command-line switching of resolution when another program is started, and auto-reverts after that program is closed. This is how I play unscaled IWD:EE at lower than my native primary monitor res, but keep fullscreen borderless windowed mode (using borderless gaming) and my 2nd monitor at it's correct resolution. I think that's what you're looking for?

For my IWD:EE example, here's my .bat file:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dc64cmd.exe" -width=1440 -height=900 -depth=32 "G:\games\Steam\steamapps\common\Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition\icewind.exe"
