I'm not sure if I can play this game without lock picking. I started a character and finished the first mission and leaving loot behind is nagging me already now that I'm back in STG :cry:

On the otherhand I'm streched on skillpoints like always and I also don't want to play the same build always.

You can reload auto-save to reroll the spawning location of patrols.The static ambush in entrance hall can avoided by STR check in armory door. I only fought less than 5 battles to kill EXO commander without sneaking. After that I came back to grab EXO armor and fusion cannon easily.

Honestly this sounds a bit too save scummy for my taste

if you go without sneaking, lockpicking or pickpocket, why even play underrail?
you are not trying to squeeze in cave wizardry instead, are you?

I surprisingly found an old assault rifle psi build with high int and agi from expedition that I made some years ago that feels more natural than that abomination I newly made anyway. And he’s already lvl 6 with a sick sniper and marauder and some neat fireball spell. so he’s done with the most boring parts of the game. And he has lockpicking. Tempted to relive that char.

Sadly he’s missing the new expansion.

I didn't have to up anything, I could go to Heavy Duty's unique area with an old character, and buy LMGs from merchants.
Probably some stuff in the original levels didn't get updated, but I couldn't tell you the exact details.

I just did a zero hacking and zero lockpicking playthrough. What a relief not fiddling with boxes to get shitty loot.

I got level30 on oddity before facing Tchort without hacking, lockpicking, or Abandoned Waterways, or a lot of the combat-based Black Sea oddities (or DC oddities come to think of it).
I did have STR to breach vents, persuasion, and intimidate though.

Depends on build but I say yes, because you can get a lot of mileage with low skill point investment, even on Dex 3 characters.

Lockpicking yeah, but hacking makes you life easier in too many areas, can't imagine any run without it.
I've done maxed hacking build just now with HECU MARINE and was a little dissapointed. I had the impression that sauntering up to Arke Power Station with Hacking 130 would do something amazing, but it didn't do shit. You get a loredump at the end and some help with the gate quest which has many solutions now. Hacking was good early in the game as there were some great boxes to crack into for a low level character, like the one with the LMG in it right at the beginning, but going deep into hacking didn't blow me away, at least not on a decent character for combat.

Is pickpocketing actually worth it?
lots of oddity xp. Granted that many can be acquired anyway, but at much later date.

Then on dominating it saves you lots of money for batteries/ammo/medicine. Myself I hate hauling stuff to vendors(which is worth little on dom) so its big convenience for me.

Then there are funny things to do, like pickpocketing ethan medalion.

Not a huge investment to steal everything on max dex character and what are you going to put those points into anyway? cave wizardry?

Does Tesla armor boosts damage from fusion cannon or it's only for energy pistols? Anybody tried it?

You know how you catch a murder? You walk into a room with your suspect, preferably with other people in it, and you announce that there's been a murder.
He's gonna be the first motherfucker to say "wasn't me".
Same thing with farting.

Nah, from my experience it doesn't work. Not with farting anyway. :smug:
