Underrail: The Incline Awakens

Wait what? I tried rolling with 15 Pers and it wasn't enough. Maybe you need something like 20 with INT bonus?!

20 persuasion

It sucks and has no re-sale value. But still better than pistols/smg early though

Huh? What do you mean? That its monetary value is nonexistent, or that Lucas at the time won't buy it from you?

I got it by convincing Lucas and immediately sells it for some money because I'm playing a PSI character.

 

[Urthor]

Starting a fresh save was the right decision, being able to play the new builds from the start is pretty important.

*roll shotgun build*

*go to armoury, answer YES, YOU MOTHERFUCKER, GIVE ME A STARTING SHOTGUN*

*realise that is still a joke option from back in the day*

It isn't. If you have high enough persuasion you get a unique shotgun called "Shoddy Shotty".

Wait what? I tried rolling with 15 Pers and it wasn't enough. Maybe you need something like 20 with INT bonus?!

Here I come you gun hoarding motherfucker get ready to be fellated

Persuasion scales with willpower and yes, you need 20 effective level for the shotty iirc.

Hi guys, is parry an actually useful feat for a knifer build? Trying to decide between parry, weaponsmith, vile weaponry or expertise. This is for the 4th level feat.

I currently have nimble, opportunist and recklessness. The next feats I get should be cheap shots, ripper and critical power.

 

[Jezal_k23]

I don't know if Parry on its own is worth it. Parry/Riposte is probably what makes it worth it long term. That said, I haven't tested this yet, it just seems a really powerful combination from the descriptions.

 

[roshan]

Hmmm. What about weaponsmith, vile weaponry or expertise? The problem is that after this all the great feats open up, cheap shots, fancy footwork, critical power, taste for blood, ripper... So I won't be able to revisit any of these early feats and it will have a long but subtle impact on how much of the game plays out for me.

Its worth 100, so 10 credits... basically worthless.

But yea its probably the best choice for your first gun based on pure DPS, tho shotgun ammo is expensive.

I am starting a shotty guy with low WIL so I may have to try and level up once without a gun just so I can get persuade to 20 for it.

Question about a certain native:

Spoiler

I found Yngwar and got the rune, and he left for the monolith. What am I supposed to do with the rune? The Ferryman and Doc don't seem interested, I only just did the mutie island though.

I’ve heard some people mention there are psi boosting weapons now, is that something you can craft or is it only on unique items?

You can get them withing 5 minutes of stepping foot into expedition. The weaker you'll find in the base, for the stronger one you'll know where they are, but you can immediately go for it.

 

[roshan]

share your full feats selection, usually weaponsmith is mandatory unless you decide to go without crafting

EDIT: btw what happened to crawlers? 40hp regen now along with quite beefy defenses? Was shrugging ambush with poisoned bear trap, mk3 grenades and constant knife throw. In the end friendly pack of rathounds helped me...
I can tell you now 1 crawler > 9 alpha rathounds, but barely

My starting stats: STR 3, CON 3, PER 3, DEX 10, AGI 10, INT 6, RES 5. All extra points into DEX.

I currently have:
- Nimble
- Opportunist
- Recklessness

I don't know if it was a mistake to take Nimble instead of Expertise - what do you think?

The fourth level I have a choice between weaponsmith, vile weaponry, expertise, parry. I'm currently inclined to go with weaponsmith since without expertise I need to max out my critical chance as much as possible.

The next feats, I know exactly what to get:
Level 6 - Cheap Shots
Level 8 - Ripper
Level 10 - Fancy Footwork

Level 12 is another confusing one - there's cut throat, taste for blood, blitz as well as any of the feats in consideration for the level 4 slot.

Level 14 is obvious - critical power!

Playing in Hard mode BTW.

Jesus christ jet skis are slow.

Am I doing something wrong? Because they actually travel at a speed of basically zero

Old font - when?

Sounds like your ski's battery is empty.

You know how noobs cry about Depot A?
But its completely trivial with doors and traps.
Yet I have not seen noobs cry about Hathor mine. Probably because they dont make it that far...
For chars without stealth can be deadlocked inside of it. You come out and the whole fucking map respawed all the burrowers and you have no door, no way to move around, no way to win the fight, no way to abuse initiative. You be starving inside the mine...

Is this intentional?

 

[Jenkem]

started a new game to test a new build and it has overwritten all my old saves? why the fuck isnt there a set of saves per character?

FUCK this game.

I still have saves from 2015 and only started playing the game again on Monday. I have no idea what you did...

do you still have them after creating a new character and going through parts of the game? I don't see any way to load a profile/character, the only options are "autosave, autosave (previous)" and "quicksave, quicksave (previous)"

 

[Elephantman]

u fucked up son

 

[Blaine]

Old font - when?

I can't promise the original old font, but at some point I plan to release a font mod that restores the sense of atmosphere lost when the old font was swapped for a shitty version of Courier to satisfy half-blind mole people.

Ah, the good old days, when the font was vaguely cyberpunk, there was no map to aid Millennials lacking all sense of direction, and getting to and fro actually required a significant time investment.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Shame tbh that the Map system was not integrated into the game with cartographers or somesuch.

[jagged-jimmy]

Eh, made my way to Core City Docks to finally dive into Expedition.
Chief Briggs wants "proof" i am capable. What proof? Which trigger enables Expedition?

 

[Tygrende]

There's a lot of them. Think of anything worth bragging about and try that.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

What's the solution to this

Spoiler

Someone asked in shoutbox so now I'm curious

Been like this forever iirc.
