Underrail: Infusion pre-release megathread

[CthuluIsSpy]

He later clarified on discord that this does not apply to the main quest. There is no hard time limit like in Fallout 1.

 

[Andnjord]

Assuming this isn't a placeholder, this is the first time we have a definite time frame for when Underrail is set, right?

 

[Bruno]

By Tchort this is starting to look nice.

Can't wait for 2031.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'm fucking pumped for this.

 

[lukaszek]

I'm fucking pumped for this.

hope you are doing cardio 3 times per week to live until it gets released

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

At this rate we might be living underground by the time it gets released.

 

[HoboForEternity]

it is longer now between underrail and expeditions to expeditions and infusion. I hope i am alive when this comes out

Placeholder? My man, it's the release date.

Aside from clever jokes about the release date, I like it when there’s an in-game sense of passing time and more importantly an events scheduled accordingly. I liked Fallout because of it, it made it feel alive and made time management a thing. There was a sense of urgency too which added to the bleak picture of the world. In contrast Baldur’s Gate albeit being my absolute favorite game feels static time-wise where you can spam rest endlessly.

Apparently the majority hated the time constraints and I can see why, but I don’t think that games as a medium must be a totally safe heaven catering to players’ every desire. That’s precisely how we’re where we’re these days.

 

[thesecret1]

It will likely be used to make things less opaque time-wise. Rather than vendors restocking a set amount of time since your last purchase, they can restock each monday. Rather than a quest telling you to hurry, it can tell you you've got 3 days to finish it. And finally, there can be important world events happening on a certain date rather than having to always be triggered by the player fulfilling some quest.

Of course, there's no way to tell which, if any of these things Styg will actually implement, but having a time tracker opens those options up to him, at least

8 agility to hop up a 3 foot ledge, intradesting

 

[ciox]

Pretty sure he's pulling our leg, in Underrail an agility 8+ check usually meant jumping (...teleporting) over many tiles at once.

More interesting is whether it works in combat, I don't think the agility teleport jumps from Underrail did, and also if it interacts with armor penalty and other things.

It would be so funny if Al Fabet shows up in Infusion, and he has nothing but plushies. That's it, that's his entire stock, plushies that no one wants

Al Fabets shows up in Infusion, but now he's a North Underrail Oligarch, extremely wealthy thanks to his PC-like hoarding obsession

Reminds me of that gambler from Fallout 2 that eventually gets rich.

Playing in the one casino in F2 that doesn't actually care about your gambling stat.

Hope all those cool obstacles are also cover points.

check mate tincans

tincans religiously get agi 6 for sprint, so it may not be over yet for them.

 

[MjKorz]

tincans religiously get agi 6 for sprint

Depends. I did both an assault rifle and shotgun heavy metal armor runs with no agility, investing into dexterity for grenades and constitution for more survivability respectively.

6 is not enough to stand on 1 leg in new world

I certainly gave it a shot, but found it really nasty on higher difficulties, unless I went for leather boots with boot spring and no metal helmet. This makes you a bit more squishy. Sprint lets you use a full tungsten outfit or other setup with extreme armor penalty, and still have movement points.

Low AGI animations would be hilarious. Infusions version of low INT dialogue manifesting as vaudeville-style physical comedy.

I haven't played a tincan, but couldn't you rely on temporal manipulation or drugs to get ap and movement points when needed (and to slow down the enemy)? Saving attribute points by dumping AGI is sounds tempting.

My current dilemma is whether to use my next point to get AGI 7 for interloper, Dex 8 for three pointer, or yet another point in int for my high technicalities and crafting.

Also new game looks awesome etc
