Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[CHEMS]

I've said it before I'll say it again bro, anything you put into dodge/evasion could have been better used elsewhere.

Things can't hit you if they're dead. I think evasion/dodge in a melee build is a must. Ranged i'd put it on evasion only since everything near me will get blasted before hitting me

 

[normie]

utilised better? what's better? what am I not investing in by investing in defense? investing in defense doesn't detract from your ability to invest in stealth, mobility, CC, damage or crafting energy shields, so WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR POINT

Well, no. If you want to craft the best stuff, you'll also need to invest into mercantile to unlock merchant tiers, for the best crafting components. If you're non-psi, I guess you can put points into dodge/evasion, but then even with the nerfs psycho-temporal contraction is still very much worth it and is a better investment than dodge/evasion. And if you're putting 55 points for contraction, might as well put 70 into TM for stasis. And 45 in psychokinesis for imprint.
Then there's throwing. It's the most cost effective way to get some AoE and CC in your build. You wanna put in at least 50-60 points depending on DEX, I like putting in a little more to avoid save scumming.

you dumb nigger, those are all coping strats for lack of genuine defense

I can afford all the mercantile milestones, I can even afford to MAX THROWING, all the while maxing crafting, I DON'T NEED TO CHEESE AI WITH STASIS

NOW SACRIFICE DODGE, which a faggot might, and you can even afford a whole school of PSI just for YOUR FAGGOT ASS

you have given it literally 0 thought, you fucking automaton

 

[CHEMS]

Don't diss stasis, it is THE greatest ability in the whole game!

Im sorry, who wrote this? The rest of the writing isn't that janky.

The new dev, Yogi. A severe case of ESL. There's a few more places he wrote and they all feel off, but I think this particular NPC is by far the worst.

build it yourself if you care and show me how the skillpoint distribution doesn't pan out

the only thing you won't have is subterfuge skills, but it's only because of the supposed bangbuckmax value of crafting and psi, which I don't share

 

[ItsChon]

These new guys are tough. I simply can't kill them at 24lvl, need more damage. Will try again with veteran perks and some other adjustments.

WTF is this? I've never seen this before!

Random fragment that can appear in the sewers. Lore about it:

Spoiler

Those guys were Master Exploder partners/brothers at the Arena, but got deluded with the Arena. They're trying to destroy the Arena by blowing up a support column bellow it. You can learn it talking to Beautiful Joe after the bomb goes off (it doesn't destroy the Arena)

put up what? it's not a build, it's a simple task of distributing skill points, do it your fucking selves

why the fuck do I have to prove that you get 1280 skill points to distribute over 30 levels? eat shit

A bit of a dodger IRL as well I see.

are you confused about something? go on the build site, ctrl + click to distribute points as described, jig it until you get the picture

You're the guy who said it's possible to have maxed dodge/evasion and everything else.
Show me faggot.
Prove it.

I spend untold hours not getting hit at all because I can see and kill everything before it can move—so normie focuses on my inability to evade poison bolts, which is a potential (but avoidable without Evasion) issue on two screens in the entire game during a few short gladiatorial or wave defense sequences, thus disproving his own argument.

Nevertheless, he's spent pages hallucinating that I'm struggling with the game because I "dumped" defensive skills, despite the fact that I roll over enemies with minimal effort. I even produced a bullet-pointed list of how I do it. The build speaks for itself.

At a certain point, I suppose one must simply accept that the clinically autistic will experience fits of rage when someone accidentally steps on their clumps of mismatched Lego. It seems that normie's clump of Lego happens to be a fetish for wasting points and feats on Dodge and Evasion. The all-caps, stream-of-consciousness revenge porn in which he dreams up nonexistent scenarios that would cause people who didn't waste all of their skill points to regret it is the icing on the cake. He even tacitly admitted he's a save-scummer, which we already knew, because that is the inevitable result of standing around letting enemies shoot you and relying on gambling to survive.

My biggest regret right now in my current build is that I opted for 5 CON, since HP are my least-used derived statistic, and I have a mountain of unsold and unused health hypos large enough for Scrooge McDuck to swim through.

Now i'm also getting curious, just post the build man

 

[Fenix]

Stop arguing about how to distribuite rachitis skill points most effectively, play 18 Int lazgun build, and you will have sp for everything.
Most comfortable build I played in that regard.

 

[Spark Mandriller]

Affording some points in evasion isn't hard now that Expedition is out and makes character building much easier. Up to 200 extra skill points from levels past 25, engineer suit so you need less lockpicking/hacking, hypercerebrix so you need less of every intelligence skill. I'm not saying you should go all out on it but if you're playing a high mobility build already then you may as well put some points in it. Even if it only makes a few shots miss and makes explosions a little weaker. It doesn't need to do everything, just help a little.

 

[Ol' Willy]

This dodge/evasion discourse is too much autism for me to participate, but I think I will try some dodge/evasion melee build in foreseeable future. Although, the two questions still stand:

1) Do I need SI? It will come in handy but with +6 to CON I wouldn't have enough attribute points to pump AG. So I guess I'll live without
2) And what the fuck should I do with hostile psikers? I recon it'll be easier to deal with doppelgangers since I can dodge their shit but what the fuck should I do against shit like breakdown or overload? You can't evade that shit

SI on a melee build? Good luck with that. Psikers you just sneak and kill them first, did it just fine with melee.

 

[Tigranes]

SI melee is completely fine on Dom/Oddity, it just depends on where you're getting your battle-winning damage from.

Good to see the Depot is still as annoying as ever.

Styg interview podcast:



https://keithburgun.net/talking-rpgs-with-dayan-radisic/

Talking RPGs with Dayan Radisic



Today’s guest is Dayan Radisic, the lead developer at Stygian Software, the team behind the indie CRPG UnderRail. I’ve personally only played a handful of hours of the game so far, but it’s definitely the kind of game that’s in the “RPG Project” territory – it’s quite clearly super inspired by games like the original Fallout. I wanted to talk to Dayan about the game and his perspective on what’s important in RPGs, but I was even more interested to talk to an indie developer who has worked on a single game for over a decade.

You can support this show by becoming a Patron at www.patreon.com/keithburgun. By the way, I have a new schedule now: the first Monday of every month, there will be a new podcast episode from now on.

Thanks for listening!

Damn this caster is annoying. Styg deserves better.
