no he just maxed out his charisma and then built a bunch of stuff to level up. then he pacified every enemy and if he couldnt he would soft restart and try again

No. Spoilers ahead:


And the reason is because there is, one part of the main quest line that requires you to kill the man who killed your spouse and then kid napped your son.


Also, letting your companions do it for you doesn't count.

he hacked the synths in the room and had them kill the guy, doesn't count in the game log

>>#93 You that mechanic is absolutely necessary in this kind of game.

I used Vats on a Super Mutant and it warped me across the map.

I have a bug in my game where I can't fast travel to any outdoor location unless it's in the northeast corner of the map. I can walk there, and exit buildings there, but I can't fast travel.

Sounds like something you could fix using the console, if you are on PC. Had a problem where I had night vision scope EVERYWHERE, it was annoying as **** . Thank god I found a fix

******* XCOM on ironman mode is unplayable because of bugs. Lost a whole game because an enemy in one of the missions still counted as alive even though I killed it. And the unreachable Thin Man in the warship...

Xcom on ironman is unplayable even without bugs. The RNG is ******* ******** . I lost my entire 6 man team to consecutive 1% shots that all hit and critted.

The RNG's as fair as any other RNG producing unpredictable outcomes, runs of bad luck can and will happen and will be more noticeable than any good luck you'll have. The only way I've seen to make an RNG in a turn based strategy people won't complain so much about is to make it biased towards good accuracies, like Fire Emblem's.

I just mean, if you can easily get a bad RNG result that destroys an entire team of high level units instantly (I've had my entire team wipe in a single turn by ******* Thin Men at least 3 times, while they were all in cover and not flanked) , then getting through 300 missions on ironman is nigh impossible

Play an ironman expecting losses, don't focus on one 6 man team even if it sets you back. You're not guaranteed success, I'm just saying the RNG is about as fair as the shuffle on your music playlist is.

I'm not focusing on one team. I try to have at least 3 of each class at all times (24 units), preferably 4, which just makes me end up having super OP Snipers (I think 3 of my snipers got to rank 5 or 6) while everyone else is a Lt Colonel (rank 3) or lower.

I couldn't get past the first alien base mission. First time 7 ******* chrysallids, 6 thin men, 2 droids and 3 floaters were just "lol **** you" all at once. Second time I got to the sectoid commander, but missed every single shot 6 turns in a row and lost.

After that I decided I couldn't be bothered with Ironman's ******** anymore.

If you're using longwar, it's longwar thats bugged not xcom. They even say it in the faq.

I'm not using longwar.

That was a scary fast response.

Not really.

15 seconds.

says 11 for me

oh well

To be fair, save scumming isn't an exploit, something like running into a wall while carrying something to clip through it is.

Luck 10. ricochet

well technically theyre killing themselves.
they fire bullet, it ricochets off you, and hits them in a vital spot.
not your fault they decided to attack you

Mfw

Load save glitch? You mean saving the game and then loading back to that point until you succeed in progressing the game the way you want? Do you actually know what a glitch is?

Yes I know what a glitch is. I'm not talking about abusing save and load to pass a speech check I mean using quick save and quick load to get the same XP gain and trigger idiot savant.

**hubabalu used "*roll picture*"**
**hubabalu rolled image** Took to many RPG elements out to make that possible.

10 charisma would get through a lot of the missions

Getting through them sounds like a chore not a choice.

Ya its definitely not a good way to play the game

wink wink
