xenotech is ghey.
my warpriest purging enemies of mankind with thunder hammer and shotgun. feels gud.

There is no better gun than heavy stubber - it has insane fire rate and my Argenta can easily deal from 200 to 800 damage per shot when properly buffed (and mind it, one burst can be 10 to 12 shots). She basically one shot all the bosses in act 3 and 4, and did ~90% damage to the final boss.

Any xenotech shit can't even compare to that.

So when does the area in shadow quarters unlock? So far, I only have one main quest left, Blades in the Void, and I still haven't unlocked this location.

After first warp jump from Footfall to whatever location. I usually return there after Janus.

Be an inquisitor like Heinrix, he can get next Psi rating at lvl 16 and 26 :D

With one helmet his psy rating can be upped by 2 points, so in the end he can be level 6, total beast.

Argenta found a Heavy Stubber in Act 3 and it made me wonder - why the hell have I been pissing about with Bolters?

It just feels wrong for Argenta not to have a Bolter though :(

I see Owlcat couldn't help himself and went back to his shitty encounter design.
You start surrounded by enemies and when the enemy gets his turn, at least one character kills you and you can't do anything about it.
I would love to send all the idiots responsible for the game design to Ukraine and let them sit in the trenches because they are not fit for anything else.

flat dmg from versatility
isnt concentrated fire a multiplier? its not flat
different ability?
Versatility is an Arch-Militant mechanic, it gives infinitely stacking bonuses to WS/BS and + WS/2 or BS/2 flat bonus to damage, this is how you make burst fire do hundreds of dmg per shot

Wait, this still hasn't been patched? Lol
I doubt they're going to patch it any time soon. It's not a bug, just incredibly stupid design decision, and I doubt we'll see any balance changes before they fix actual bugs, which will probably take like a year.

I assume the absurd amount of stacks on Versatility has to be a bug. You can easily get 100+ stacks of it, coupled with officer shenanigans, an Arch Militant can cheese encounters.

Anyways I paused my playthrough. Going to wait for it to bake in the oven some more. There's not much point trying to guess what is bugged and what isn't.

I don't know about you, but it sounds like a bug to me.
The skill description says that when a player uses an attack type DIFFERENT than the previous one, he gets 1 stack. This means that if you get more than one stack it is a bug.
Burst attack should count as one use of the skill, and even if the game counted each bullet fired, each of them would still be of the same type.

i prefer it close and personal. shotgun is to bring light of da emprah to unfortunate souls my priest still couldn't reach by the end ot turn 1 after my own and cassia momentum and arch-militant abilities. i like its nice attack pattern.

The loading screens are bumming me out. Not game ruining, but why is there a loading screen going from one tiny ass low poly area to the next tiny ass low poly area? or why is there a loading screen going from the bridge to the starmap? and why is my 4070 under 100% load when I'm looking at the character's stats sheet and everything is (or could be) 2D? Obviously Unity is partially to blame (the game has all the Unity hallmarks), but I think Owlcat could have done better

Yes, you get 2 stacks instead of one and game does not force you to do single attacks in the middle of bursts. Still I do not see a way to get to state to do over 200 damage per bullet. After few turns Argenta usually has 25+ stacks and does 30+ damage per bullet with heavy bolter. I can boost it to 50 per bullet with Inspire but not sure how people get to 200+ per bullet and how many turns that takes and how they have not won by then.

There's also a neck and chest for +3.

Also a psyker talent which gives a stacking +1 but it was bugged.

Because this is a modern Neverwinter Nights (2002). I am not joking, the game gives me serious Neverwinter Nights vibes. Both positively and negatively.

It turns out you have to pay Profit Factor for respeccing characters at some point. That's it. I am giving the game a thumb down. It's not the only reason obviously, but there are enough stupid design decisions piled together that this one was the last straw for me. Owlcat should get their shit together, because I am done with excuses.

You always had to pay something to respec characters in their previous games. PF is fairly easily obtained and this prevents you from respecing all the time. Respec is a decline mechanic anyways, only implemented for crybabies.
