Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Tigranes]

A hospital that is a front for domination is still a hospital. When the comparison point is a group with enough resources for 10 hospitals that declines to have any, you're probably glad for it.

"Is this organisation good?" is a pretty meaningless question in a situation like Underrail's.

 

[Lios]

Yeah and various juntas across the world built roads, wow awesome.
Anyway, I love the fact that in Underrail there isn't an immaculate faction/organization, as far as I'm aware.

 

[Parabalus]

What did SGS do wrong?

 

[Lios]

That guy with the camera problems, screw that guy.

 

[BlizzardStockholmSyndrome]

My point is not that the Oculus will do with the Acorn but what it can do. What does the SGS need it for? Opening tunnels? What would the protectorate do with it? Use it as a paperweight? The whole expedition is a front for the Protectorate and they kept feeding me the bullshit line about it being a device that helps traverse great distances, a teleporter if you will. At best they are clueless, at worst, they are keeping the only competent contractor in their army in the dark. Ezra may be a bro but I trust him as far as I can throw him after the Junkyard shit show/releasing the rock worms in the Foundry.
The Occulus does what any rational organization that stumbled upon a spaceship can do. Keep it a secret and manipulate a la Illuminati the little feuds of the Underrail stations. There is a very delicate balance between all the stations in the South and the Protectorate will just absorb everything, kill half of it due to bureaucracy and sell the other half to the Southerners because who knows? And what happens when Melek kicks the bucket? Do you think the North will be able to maintain the peace then? We would be back to Mad Max levels of anarchy and a bit closers to the True Death.

Speaking of True Death, are there any computers in the Black Sea with info on the Boatman? I know he says he's 70 but I call bullshit. If Abraham and Ezra are in their mid 200's I'm sure the old man is a Lemurian in disguise.

 

[Twiglard]

Oh please, the "benevolence" of the Protectorate is just a front just like with Tchortists. All they care about is domination and they are not above literally pulling a holocaust on their opponents. No actually worse, at least the victims of the holocaust died fairly quickly, while the Protectorate condemns its gassed victims to eternal torment since mutants are basically immortal. All in all though there really isn't any "good" organization in this dog eats dog world.

And yet I'd sooner side with them than the Free Drones.

Go figure.

I fully agree, the Drones merchant is rather underwhelming.

Finally, I NOPED out of the LEMCO facilities, just sailed along the edge to L2 where the sub was parked.

FWIW, the LEMCO warehouse has 160+ quality components. Best of all locations in the expansion.

 

[Grunker]

I hate Gorsky so much its unreal

Same, and yet I love Dan. It's puzzling.

Not puzzling. Dan is The Bro of Bros, Gorsky is a bitchy, arrogant whiner until you’re suddenly expected to treat him as a bro

It does have an entirely superflous, boring one though: Free Drones

Nail bombs are pretty good, and the rewards can be targeted high quality items - very useful, especially if scumming.

 

[lukaszek]

nailbombs are good, so are quality fabric

 

[Richard Leaks]

Face it, Tchortists were the only Good guys in Underrail, they organized a self-sustaining community that focused on improving humanity and actually sent medicine and helped outsiders on occasion.

Thanks for the info but my greed is not as strong as my phobia.

Becket = best hype-man of all Underrail.
"Boring", I suppose it depends on taste yeah, superfluous though? No way, as long as Protectorate exists, the Free Drones must also exist for the (pseudo? )equilibrium.

Yesterday I made my first non-stealth Psion who is wearing metal armour and enjoy good damage resistance and health unlike all my previous ones. As a bonus he gets max melee so he can finish off low health targets with his trusty soon to acquire power fist. Early game was surely harder than on my stealthy cave wizard though. Mostly because metal armour is not really available until you reach Junkyard.
Not gonna lie, there is a certain satisfaction being able to soak up a dozen hits and eating mines without dying instantly and blowing them up via Premeditation+ Mania +TK Punch. Or tanking the shit out of lesser opponents like rathounds, watching them helplessly gnawing at my shiny metal arse is amusing while I smash their teeth in. No need to waste PSI on these mongrels!

Ah yes, totally a benign organization, just ask Detritus!

Yes. Not to mention he simply bailed from SGS to try and get a piece of the action, not only a bitchy, arrogant whiner, but a pussy let down.

 

[razvedchiki]

how would someone build a sword/psi build? psi would be more supplementary, like a fighter/mage from dnd.
would a pistol with versatility fit in?

Pistols are DEX depended, swords benefit from DEX if you don't go the STR route. You could try a versatility pistol build with swords and TM, since you don't need too much WILL for it. You can just grab steadfast aim from the STR you'll need for swords anyway.

 

[lukaszek]

1st step is trying to fit pistol in
2nd is realizing that you like pistols so much you want to max dex
3rd you ditch swords in favor of daggers since they have better synergy
4th you focux on pew pew pistols since they have better synergy with daggers
5th what psi?

 

[razvedchiki]

determenistic=psi

something like 5/8/6/3/3/7/6?

 

[Grunker]

I found pistols to be pretty boring (Dominating diff). Just my 2 cents

Something like the Undying TM Sword build is probably the best way to do this, since it actually has reason to pick Sword feats (well, at least Flurry):



Versatility with PSI is the build I played (I also intended to wield a sword), and it's very good, but a) like lukaszek said, you are better off with knives and b) you wont ever have a reason to pick any actual sword feat.

High strength, middling everything else, psychokinesis + force user/corporeal projection. Get some TM eventually for stasis. The main thing a sword build needs is a backup plan for when the flurry/onslaught train derails, so force field and stasis are both excellent. Swords are terrible until you get those feats, so it will begin life with a knife or sledgehammer. Corporeal projection force emission is also strong enough to carry you through the early game, even without high dex unarmed attacks are fast enough to devastate organic enemies. I played this for awhile until I got bored and abandoned the playthrough and it had no issues on Hard, can't speak for Dominating.

People always seem to want to maximize crit chance for sword builds but with high strength, onslaught and taste for blood your base damage gets so insane that it really doesn't matter, at least not nearly to the same extent it does for a knife build. As an added bonus you get to wear real armor and can take a few hits, something so few underrail builds get to enjoy. I don't see the point in muddying the waters with versatility, with corporeal projection your TK punch is a delete button for anything in LOS when you really need ranged damage.
