Agreed. Release version was teh shits

 

[Elwro]

It was.

Guys, I have a GOG code redeemable before Dec 27 if anyone misses the freebie. Message me if you want it.

 

[Jasede]

Is it really better / different from release?

How do melee/unarmed MC's fare?

 

[Modron]

How do melee/unarmed MC's fare?

Better than the trap that is shotgun.
AR>MG>Sniper for 90% of the game>Pistol (better than sniper for last encounters)>Energy>Melee>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shotguns

How do melee/unarmed MC's fare?

You should have one melee guy. They do good damage and and can attack more often per round than shooters. Take armor perks for the melee guy.

 

[razvedchiki]

Best armor is light armor.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah, the balance is kind of screwy. You can get a piece of light armor late game that has AC 9, iirc. Max armor class is AC10.

It still amazes me that California hasn't been balanced. Like, they changed Energy Weapons to work on conductive armor, but in California hardly anyone has the conductive trait. Like, did the devs forget? In the base game EW were useful in Cali because it just requires high AC, but in director's cut they are nearly useless.

Best armor is light armor.

Thick skinned + Power Armor + Hardened + Self Defense and my Marv stands there in California amids half a dozen retarded religious zealots who deal 0 damage to him even with machines guns on full auto. Don't discount heavy armor too easily on a tank.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

So I got this for free on GOG - worth a playthrough?

 

[Stefmob]

How is the story of this game

 

[Jimmious]

It's "OK". Not bad not anything special. Has a couple of twists and turns but you'll most probably expect them.
It does have a nice "impending doom" vibe going for it though

Ok, so an update on my 4 man supreme jerk run.

Had cha and int 10 on all 4, raised speed to 8, then rest into awareness. Perked disparanumerophobia. Radioed for field promotions every 2 levels to avoid the malus. Specced all 4 into AR and energy weapons.
At this point im lvl 48 and just clearing the Samsons Gauntlet. I did NOT farm encounters for xp -the xp gain from 10 cha and 5 skill points each lvl on all toons is insane.
A lot of fun!

Very cool, I'm tempted to build a team exactly like this for my 2nd run.

Why two ranged weapon skills, to pool ammo?

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Also, after leaving ranger citadel on start i went for the shrines first in clockwork direction + abandoned railway (robot sidekick there can clear the map for you - i kill him after he nukes other robots).
5 shrines plus abandoned railway puts you to lvl 8 before even going highpool/ag

Sniper for alpha strike, smg for mid/close i personally dislike melee weapons.
Tbh solo smg would work too!
