Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[lukaszek]

ive been thinking... any valid dominating build out there that assigns ability lvlups to meet feat requirements instead of just raising dmg related one to the max?

Do 18 CON tanks count? I had 7 DEX for three-pointer. Rest went into CON.

 

[Knifegaf]

Most of my more recent builds are. My Ironman one specifically uses every base ability point for a feat or slot in the case of INT

Your self destruct one? I must say im quite torn with this example.

Another nice one with spear throwing I realized is how it gets extra dmg while being on jetski. I wonder if you can throw that javelin during raid at protectorate ship and recover it without boarding

How is new oligarch qeustline? Do you gain new merchant in place of amazing ones like coretech? Do you gain access to tchort ones too?

rusty_shackleford here's your dog companion bro.

 

[fredsteel]

Nvm, he turned against me.

 

[lukaszek]

this is bot spawned by phone booth right? Its odd, it never turned on me

It was my shock spear FF'ing the bot now that I think about it.

Now that I think about this it'll be a blast during camp defense in Expedition. Gonna reload ad infinitum because this fucking spear also damages everything around it, friendly or not.

 

[lukaszek]

is it really about shock part of dmg or more about sweep hitting everything?

It wouldn't be the first time happening. Pretty sure the spread damage has no care for friend or foe.

No I did not enjoy it at all.

It was however much easier then I was lead to believe it would be. Still needlessly tedious but I'm sure lots of fanboys still enjoyed running around spending hours picking up gate pieces and mutagens.


Overall enjoyed the game much more then I thought I would but DC sucked balls aside from the writing/lore which was again more interesting then I thought it would be.

How you do sound puzzles with booths?? Really cant make it work.

So I've just destroyed the scrappers with the help of SGS for the first time (previous playthroughs, I either went pro-protectorate in general, or simply didn't have the persuasion skill needed). I noticed that Tanner mentioned estabilishing an SGS embassy in junkyard, but I cannot seem to find it. Does it actually get added there somewhere?

I believe you see continued SGS presence in the scrappers former hideout.

 

[Tigranes]

Ugh,OK. I build my plasma beam boy, saved, checked out the areas, and:

*Utility Station 6 - no telekinesis lunatic in the area.
*Upper caves random encounter has "Darkdwellers" instead, which I presume is rolled from the same table as the Azuridae. Reloading before first entering the area gives me no hole to jump into most of the time, and sometimes a hole to the Darkdwellers.

So - does the game calculate which random element loads in an area the first time you enter? Theoretically would reloading give a chance of Utility 6 or Azuridae hole spawning? Or is some of it determined per playthrough? Bit silly that the player's ability to use Plasma Beam is entirely dependent on whether they happened to level Metathermics when they come across it, or wait all the way for Grand Archives.

Despite the DC fanboying here it was nerfed/'adjusted' in almost every patch since release, it used to be even bigger cancer.

On succession runs DC are just several additional areas to clear, nothing more. And by the way, collecting mutagens isn't necessary. What I did enjoy for my first time was oppressive atmosphere overall and the toughest encounter ever (the outpost which I decided to clear) with my sub-optimal build. Not to mention lore bits and figuring out bunch of new stuff.

Some people just tend to complain because the game is very, very long now and they do want for it to end by the moment they reach DC, that wasn't the case on release. Alas, I agree that the game has kinda too much content at this point.

How about the mobs which used to respawn on entering/leaving areas?

If you didn't have stealth it was suicide fuel.

game was always meant to play as sneak stabby. You pick your flavor with rest of the points

[Cryomancer]

sneak stabby.

I always plays with a build that sounds cool to me and don't care about it being optional or not. I loved to play UR as a Cryomancer focused psion with a .44 magnum revolver secondary weapon. It is not optimal but is pretty viable in normal and more important, fun to play.

Also at the docks.

 

[thesecret1]

I know of those, but I mean an actual embassy. A building with an ambassador in it etc.

I agree with those 2 points. My issues being

1. I really don't like scavenger hunts in any game ever.
2. Mutagens aren't really the problem since they're grouped together and pretty obvious to find aside from the ones in maria hopes room i guess. My biggest problem was the worm maze and that dumb ass mushroom forest.

The whole DC just seem tacked on. I'm pretty quick with beating games and it took me 57 hours to beat underrail(that's doing pretty much every sidequest and exploring everything). That's without expidition. The institute of Tchort felt like the end game, like the CoC did in fallout 1 or the enclave in fallout 2. It just felt like unnecessary busywork and aside from the chats with the faceless or the fight with tchort I felt like I gained nothing of value.


Now the question is how good is the DLC? It's been like a month since I played Underrail and I find myself craving more content. Can I do the DLC content after killing Tchort before turning in the end game? (My earliest save is before fighting tchort).
