Underrail: The Incline Awakens

Spoiler

Is there anyone who can satisfy my curiosity with the last Rift location before I hit up DC? I'm missing exactly one and it's bugging me, there should be one more somewhere

Spoiler

It is rather spoiler

Spoiler

I threw every grenade I had at the console, and sady I didn't have the pestide one on hand, so I just gave up on the grenade plan entirely. I hate asking for help on the internet because my generation is spoon fed everything, but there are times when I get unlucky like this. Never would have thought to try grenades again after I put them out.

Two more quick questions though,

Spoiler

After I deal with the console and finish up with the Horticulture, will I then be able to radio Oldman? I also went through the entire Nexus of Technology (except for the music room because holy shit), and I'm trying to radio Oldman and no response. Do I need to break into that room to radio him, or?

Thanks for the help mate!

Edit: Figured out the answers to both questions, got ahead of myself I guess. All that's left is the music puzzle, though there is no way I'll be able to solve it without some help. We'll see.

I wonder.... what's the difference between 'Wizards? and 'Sorcerers' anyway? When both translated to my mother tongue, they meant the exact same thing.

I assume he is referencing D&D where Wizards do 'book' learning for spells, and sorcerers innately know the spells.

And regarding psi 'easy mode' I have never used it so no idea how easy, hard, or otherwise it is, I just see it mentioned alot.

But yes I agree FUCK BALANCE!! Sawyerism is ruining pc games...

How is the critical damage calculated?
For a machete which has 10-15 damage with 140% critical damage bonus, ignoring any other modifiers, on a critical hit, the damage is 15 * 2.4 or is (10-15) * 2.4?

 

[Fenix]

That being said, there are wizard staves now in addition to blue mana potions, enchanted circlets, and magic scrolls (beg pardon, "psionic mentors"). I'm afraid it's no longer possible to live in denial.

There should be some pesticide grenade somewhere in the Horticultural Center. You should even be able to craft one with Gas Grenade blueprint. You should also get a lot of pesticides component there.

[Styg]

Styg How come there was never a release announcement for Underrail on GOG? The last news post for it was for the trailer.

Are you sure? I vaguely remember there was a short news post regarding the release. In any case, we got plenty of visibility from GOG. We were in the best selling category for nearly entire week.

Six is a space alien, confirmed

We love tropes, but that's not all we do.

Can magic in RPGs let you electrocute someone's brain? Make them experience their greatest fear? Create doppelgangers hell bent on destroying their targets? Cause them to fly in a blind rage? Force them to have mental breakdowns which amplifies any of the former? Or better yet, use an ability that lets you use any of those en-masse?
Can magic in RPGs let you throw a telekinetic punch that can stun someone? Create impenetrable force fields? Enhance your unarmed/fist attacks with force emissions? Throw lightning bolts or place a lightning trap, better yet against robots??
Can magic in RPGs let you throw an ice bolt, a fireball, an iceball, thermodynamically destabilize someone and if you happen to kill that someone with anything other than cold-based attacks they'll fucking explode? And let you do ALL this in one turn???
I'm sure there are RPGs that lets you do any or all of these out there, but is there any RPGs that lets you do any or all these in a setting like Underrail?

Arcanum, unfortunately it's kind of wasted on the terrible-no-good combat. But I actually prefer Arcanum's technology vs. magic approach, because you can't max both. Whereas psi is op in Underrail precisely because you don't have to compromise on tech. You can be a cave wizard and a genius inventor who crafts only the best equipment. Especially since both psi and crafting benefit from high intelligence.

 

[Candide]

Opening up the waterways so that you can jetski from e.g. Core City to SGS to Camp Hathor has really fleshed out the Waterwor... Underwor... Waterrail? I like it. More exploration and more Protectorate scum to zone out.

Yeah, but the magic in Arcanum is straightforward fantasy-based magic. There are no scientific explanations or theories like there are in Underrail. And I love Underrail's approach where even psychic powers can be further augmented with technology, as much as fantasy-based magic that can't go hand-in-hand with steampunk-based technology of Arcanum.

Santiago the old man took out his whale Balor, level 14. Spears are legit cool. Until you lose yout spare amidst some corpses...

Actually stumbled on Balor a bit too early, so exciting times stealthkilling the stragglers then setting up poisoned traps in a back alleyway. One rare crawler poison trap can screw even a 20 str man. Molotovs at tegular intervals to keep one side at bay, regenerative vest for extra healing.

Hoping to try shield and spear hoplite setup soon with Iron Grip.

 

[Parabalus]

I don't get this impression that PSI is 'easy mode'. I'm playing a stealthy, low-CON, zero dodge/evasion, tranquility-PSI right now. I had great experience playing and finishing the game a second time with a similar build who DIDN'T invest into Metathermics at all, DIDN'T invest as much into Psychokinesis as Thought Control, and ALSO happened to invest into crafting properly. But this one right now I kind of get carried away and invested zero in crafting from the start and only starts putting points into Electronics and Biology (with Biology I only invest enough to let me craft psionic headbands) ONLY pretty late into the game, and with maximum investment in ALL psi-school (including the new Temporal Manipulation) I'm completely in a dangerous situation where I can't craft armors and utilize Super Steel at all.
Because of all these, I'm far more hard-pressed to keep my health at full, because otherwise Tranquility is rendered absolutely obsolete the moment my HP lose just 1%, and I distinctly remembered have no such trouble in my previous playthrough.

You can go full quad PSI, quad crafting, get all 3 social skills, and lockpicking/hacking/stealth.

Tranquility PSI is the strongest build in the game and trivializes DOMINATING, how PSI has escaped the nerfhammer is a mystery.

Questions and some observations.

Spoiler

So far i explored every location in Black Sea except
Savage lands.

Since i work for pirates i cant get to
the Hexagon Hippy so am i carring these
Lemurian hand-helds for nothing?

I found a tablet that i cant acsess becouse Phil (C4)
isnt authorised, since it names the owner and i cant hack it
is there a way to exchange implant microchip?

I read in a spoiler about a native exile who can give some
clues on things.
Does he, when first encounterd, apear hostile and is he
alone in a small cave worshiping some totem?
This was somwhere in north western corner of map.

Cap Svana told me of a time she bailed on Senior Citizen Awsome
but he got out by pulling himself by his bootstraps.
Could this guy be H. that Ferryman mentions and is he around?

I climbed the Jaws monument and found Steve the Pirate
broke off a piece and took it to Quinton who had some comments and
Azif who dosnt react to it but i still havent compleated Nosek.
Wanna see if Dyson reacts next.

I havent found any info on Aconr other than its importance.
Is it just the missing peace of the monolith?
Like a way for someone to use shadow-stuff the terminals mentioned?
Im having truble turning it in to anyone whithout knowing more.

Cadmus reacts to any Lamurian place i clear but im not seeing any
impact it has on the faction.
For example those mines and whatever his guys
striped from industrial complex, i dont see anywhere.
Does it mather in the end?

Donie has a dialogue option (Mercantile) that doesnt seem to ever update,
some incoming shipments?

Any decent way to trigger Aran attacking?

Finally finished the DLC, really love how

you've been warned

it hints at the natives being the subislanders that left the underwater station during the disunion

but I still have

Spoiler

some of natives territory unexplored. I did committed genocide in parts of the village, though, which completely deterred anymore attacks as I explored the BSRF, Security Headquarters, Fetid Marsh, Viridescent Quarry (or what's left of it, anyway) and the underwater station all in one go. Also, it seems like there's a quest related to the natives, some thing about finding the torch or something. The graveyard is also some real spooky shit. So spooky, it scares the game's saving mechanism away

The torch is the mcguffin

Spoiler

that lets you kill the expedition boss and a few natives.

You don't get much for it though, an oddity (+ temple one) and you can brag to Azif about it.

Where is that graveyard you are talking about? Also did you do the monolith part? It seemed pretty meh for all the trouble went trough sneaking past the pirates. It just gave me some vision and that was all.

 

[Tygrende]

You can brag about it to someone else, too.

Monolith at the entrance? Got a vision, a spike I didn't find a use for and saw the scales of Yngwar. Useless all in all.

Graveyard is near a ferryman docking point, just a bit down from the joint security dungeon.

 

[Parabalus]

You can brag about it to someone else, too.

I'm guessing you mean a certain Third Eye user, but I didn't descend down the elevator yet.

How do I get Aran to attack me? Flipped him off at the bar already.

 

[Tygrende]

Don't worry, he will find you himself. Unless you never give him a chance by using rifts to travel around.

Going in circles with trains a good idea then?

 

[Tygrende]

Probably. Or maybe just chill at your house.

 

[Parabalus]

Probably. Or maybe just chill at your house.

That was my first thought, guess I didn't chill enough. Might make that security see some use though.

 

[Tygrende]

Maybe you just chilled on the wrong floor.
