KickStarter ATOM RPG - Wasteland Soviet style! - now with Dead City update

[Jenkem]

Spider parts? When I killed the little spiderling things I didn't get any spider parts. Or ratling meat or anything, either. Is that for a different type of spider?

You have to talk to the fisherman outside the gate of the starting town during the day

Theres a quest to gather 30 later down the line. So be sure to stock up on them and all spider parts as well.

There's also a quest for 500 wastepaper

I am proud of my speech build,i managed to kill it after 30-45 minutes of trying. Used every magic trick in the bag!

PS:I see no way i could kill the queen and its hordes,having in account that i don't have enough ammo. Also is there a rope in those caves and do the diggers have some loot,their bodies shine green when i hit ALT but i can't interact?

So... is the mutant genocide quest bugged or what? I have positively, 100% slaughtered the entire map, including attendees, who had gotten hostile for some reason (after initiating the fight with the troupe's director), and the quest is still marked as in progress, and the only way to progress it seems is to remind the general secretary of his 'origins'. I have even killed the only non-hostile NPC there, Jess...
What do...

You may be right and im remembering wrong.

Wish theyd take whatever you have at the moment and give you the reward when you get all the things to them instead of having to carry 49 of them around like a moron.

Looks like the game hit its all-time peak players on steam today at 2,693. Pretty damn good! Hope it reflects a lot of new sales on top of early access sales too. Either way, congratulations again to the team! Look forward to getting home from work and adding myself to that number.

Balance in ATOM is a little funny tbh. Pistols/SMGs are overall complete garbage compared to Assault Rifles, they have worse dmg, range, and also similar or actually higher AP cost, which is hilarious.

But at the same time, fully upgraded custom revoler, which is basically still a piece of junk which can be crafted after an hour of playing, is more powerful than nearly any firearm you can get in the game, especially 10x better than any other pistol/SMG you can get.
It's the only gun with 2AP cost to shoot, which with perks giving you -1AP cost for pistols, means that you can shoot it for only 1 AP, and at the same time it has one of the highest DMG from all pistols, and requires the most easily available and cheapest bullets.

Overall, most AP requirements for firearms, seem completely random and illogical.



Also, fuck Fidel, the piece of shit cockblocker. I don't see why the devs thought it's a good idea to not give me an option to actually disagree with the dude and fuck whomever I want, but instead force me to be his little bitch, but whatever.


Still, the best Fallout since F2.

This is super weird. If you try to blackmail the secretary, he acknowledges that you have murdered the circus and tries to silence you, the only witness, by calling the guards; but if you persuade him to find peace with his nature, your character refers to the circus mutants being left alone...

Good job on the sneaky self promotion.

Surely thats against forum rules to push your own lets play channel in General RPG?

Can someone delete this shit?

 

[Jarmaro]

Ok, this game is too tiresome. 6.5/10, you may play if you are hard Fallout fan with ruskie tendencies. I am out.

It's not sneaky, and I'm not gaining anything by it. Christ. Can I not share what I like doing, making videos for RPGs, without a bunch of you getting your panties in a twist? Ignore the post if you don't like watching videos, but I share them because I LIKE SHARING THE VIDEOS I CREATE. Sneaky self promotion, fugg outta here.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

This game is pretty damn good so far. Almost an exact clone of Fallout 1, in a good way. Better graphics, smoother framerate, nice animation, sound, good writing. It's like Fallout 1 all over again, which I recently played and they are very much alike. Enjoying it a lot so far Atomboy , great job!

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

Can I say one criticism I have though? While I really appreciate every NPC having a portrait as well as their description in dialogue matching the portrait (great job there!), I miss the voiced NPCs from Fallout 1, with the unique, full-screen portraits. When you talk to those characters you get a sense of "wow, this is an important character with important dialogue", and those conversations bring something exciting and surprising to the table. While you have important characters (Kovolev, etc.) in ATOM RPG, I wish they would have a full sized portrait with voice acting, just to add that much more to the game. Still, very nice so far, I enjoy it.

This is the Fallout experience, though instead of small guns->big guns (optional)->energy weapons, the progression seems to be small guns->rifles->automatic weapons (assuming you finally have enough bullets in the endgame, otherwise it's a trap).

I didnt become hungover on purpose. I got shit wasted after partying with that doctor in the city. At least I got 500 exp points.

Btw how can I see companions character sheet?

You get alcoholism from drinking with the mortician,the jar with pickles cures it. Water cures toxicity,vodka cures radiation.....no wonder that only CCCP is still standing after the bombs .

Balancing assault rifles vs pistols is impossible if you want to stay grounded in reality. The only thing pistols are better at is concealment, which can definitely be used to some degree in videogames e.g., smuggling them into casinos in FNV.
But if you're staying grounded in reality, being hit with a bullet from either is going to put a damper on your day.

I cant seem to find anyone who knows something about the shield of Count Roevsky in Otradnaya. Anyone?
