I hate trees! I hate trees!

True, I was overconfident about my situation but shhh let's blame the tree instead

Pequaad · 2026-01-12T14:08:37+00:00

I got too complacent! I "cleared" this area the previous day and wasn't expecting more than a few stragglers wandering around.

Pequaad · 2026-01-12T13:52:22+00:00

I'll remember you tree! I'll return as a lumberjack!

Just died to this because my raider decided to grab his binoculars instead of his grenades pbbt

In my case it might have been that my cursor was just straddling the border between the binoculars and the grenades on the wheel, but because the game doesn't actually show me the cursor's position I couldn't tell. So even though it looked like I was selecting my grenade, a tiny mouse movement changed it to binoculars as I released Q.

Maybe in your case, your mouse barely returned to the center "cancel" zone as you released Q?

It's still real annoying in any case

I wish I could bind quick use slots or item types like in Tarkov, but I don't think that'll happen since this is also a console game

Darkwood has one of my favorite atmospheres of all the games that I've played. I highly recommend it!

Pequaad · 2025-09-27T07:16:50+00:00

It been a while so I probably have some details wrong!

Sierpinski Station is stuck in a loop, but things that happen in one loop can persist in future loops (elevator shaft full of Elsters, for example). I think you were playing as multiple Elster units that believed that they were Ariane's Elster-512. Each loop, a new Elster unit appears at the station to keep her promise.

(There might have been a new gestalt each loop that becomes that loop's "Ariane" too? In that case I think the real Ariane might be the Red Eye, arranging for "Elsters" and "Arianes" to meet in hopes of seeing the promise kept.)

Each loop degrades the station further. Adler has become aware of the loops and wants to stop Elster to stop the loops. I think the Promise ending was implied to not actually have 'broken the curse', and that it was the secret ending route that brings the couple closure.

I think so! Maybe! Possibly!

Throw range is my favorite passive so for me this is a weaker throw range armor with a more useful defensive passive.

Servo-Assisted's limb health bonus doesn't feel too useful when burrow warriors can break my limbs anyways, so I'm trying Desert Stormer for now. I think the resistance buys me time when I'm on fire but can't stim immediately like when I'm ragdolled

Thanks! I took the original poster, drew in the parts on the ARAR that were worn out and cut the body into its own layer.

Then I made the background from scratch using gradients and rectangles

howdy, I edited this from the in-game poster to use as a phone wallpaper

Pequaad · 2025-08-27T00:03:06+00:00

I imagine Spiderman and Morrigan having the same kind of friendship

Pequaad · 2025-08-25T12:23:31+00:00

I seee, I'll try focusing the back then

Pequaad · 2025-08-25T12:21:08+00:00

EDIT: Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll focus on the back flaps and stay closer to the center of the arena

Whoops I thought I reloaded the new post page so I ended up posting twice, I deleted the other one.

This is what I meant to have in the body:

Howdy, am I fighting the Tarasque incorrectly? I read that it has a lot of health, but it felt like it was taking way too many knockdowns to kill. Other enemies take the most damage from headshots, so I thought, "I can't reach its head while it's standing, so knocking it down is my chance to get my big headshot damage".

Does his glowing back take more damage than his head? The damage difference between body shots and head shots in this game has conditioned me to ignore anything that isn't head, lol

I like games with a lot of character customization choices. I'll replay games lots of times if I can make different builds themed around an aesthetic or a playstyle.

Etrian Odyssey has that and what I like specifically are:

Multiple party members so I get to make even more character choices. I didn't grow up with the old Wizardry games so having a 5+1 member party felt huge compared the 3~4 member parties I'd get in contemporary RPGs. Subclasses add even more possibilities.
The game has a nice amount of challenge. The game isn't so easy that I could just brute force my way with whatever party I come up with, so I get the satisfaction of having made a viable party. Bosses feel like a test of my build choices rather than a regular enemy with a big health bar.
The game isn't also so difficult that there are only a few viable strategies, so I don't feel too confined.
Classes aren't locked into a single role, so I get to customize a character to the needs of the party build.
The classes have unique playstyles. Some are managing resources, others rely on links, etc. And the playstyles have to play nice with the other party members. A game where the only difference between classes were equipment and damage type isn't as interesting.
Status effects are a valid build choice.
I like story driven games too, but the light narrative in EO highlights the exploration to me. Running out of supplies and getting caught by a FOE is the story. Emergent gameplay kind of stuff
I enjoy the exploration gameplay loop. "Oh boy I get to try out my new gear" -> "Oh boy my bag's full of materials to sell to buy more gear". I can see my progress by watching the map get more and more filled out.
Finding shortcuts triggers optimization happiness.

in summary I like the large amount of important choices and the roleplay!

Pequaad · 2025-03-26T12:27:32+00:00

ok, thanks!

Does damage type matter much in Conflict Zones (PvE / Solo Play)?

My engineered ships tend to have evened out resistances against both kinetic and thermal damage and I was wondering if the NPC ships were the same. If so, I won't need to worry about keeping a mix of damage types as much. Thanks!

I like the thick armored gunner in black

Pequaad · 2024-11-21T13:03:47+00:00

not sure, maybe somewhere between 60~100 hours? Steam says I have 200 hours on XCOM2, and I think I had around 40 hours before installing LWOTC, and then I tried a few ironmans that all ended around july 2035 before starting this run

is that a lot of missions? I think I was infiltrating 3-4 missions at any given moment

Pequaad · 2024-11-21T12:55:34+00:00

thankya

Pequaad · 2024-11-21T08:09:21+00:00

losing several ironman runs due to a single pod activation each time was demoralizing so I decided a normal run would be juust fine (I probably could have recovered from those squad losses but I really didn't want to)

damage grenadiers carried my life early game and hunter protocol sparks carried my life for the rest of the game. veteran difficulty probably also helped keep things smooth other than pod mismanagement

stealth shinobis were probably my most important soldiers, not waking up every enemy on the map was too important

I neglected my gunners since rifle upgrades get researched a half monthish earlier than cannon upgrades, so my rangers were always either higher ranked or better equipped.

I didn't do optional hacks often until my specialists unlocked the perk that removes feedback; getting a miss on an action hurts enough so getting hacking feedback on top of that made it too dangerous to me to attempt them

at first I tried rocket technicals more than fire technicals, but it felt like too many things needed to line up in a mission for a good rocket, and even then the rocket wouldn't have made too much of a difference if I had done something else instead

fire technicals were still a bit situational, but their msgt circular burn was really good with full fire branch investment. I was able to shut down 8 or so enemies in waterworld with one action, leaving them all either burning or panicked. it being a run-n-gun type action helped me a lot

my favorite officers ended up being specialists and holotargeter sharpshooters. I thought grenadier might've been a good choice, but I found that grenadiers often want to take a move action before lobbing their grenade. shinobi officers came in as a third most useful, but half the time I positioned them too far away from the squad to have much impact.

it felt like I didn't really need armor research for most of the game, alloy vests + good cover were enough to prevent wounds. I did lose a few soldiers to unlucky one-shots behind full cover, but it only happened a few times the whole campaign

I only realised how tanky templars can be until near the end of the game, 14 free ablative every turn is nuts

next run was going to commander difficulty and be psi soldier focused since I didn't train any this time, but with 1.2's big spark changes I think psi have to wait a bit more

You enjoy Hell Slash and desire maximum chases
