Underrail

>>390173623
Go with oddities, it's the experience system the game is meant to be played with. Classic is kind of like a legacy, it came first, and the dev figured there was no reason to scrap it since some people might prefer it. But it's not balanced very well, and most players who go with classic but don't rush the game tend to hit level cap around 2/3 through.

What build are you planning to roll?

>>390173623
>should I play with oddities xp setting, or just go normal for my first time?
Oddity is recommended for multiple reasons.

It's how the game is supposed to be played. Normal XP is more of a legacy system and is pretty unbalanced, you will reach max level way too quickly. Other than that oddity encourages exploration and allows you to level up without forcing you to be a murderhobo killing everything in his path.

>Is it harder/frustrating to go with oddities, or is the choice just based on immersion more?
You will level slower with oddity, but it's more balanced. It's arguably more frustrating to reach the max level early and have no progression for the rest of the game.

Grind what? I'm just about to descend into caverns.

>>390173623
Go normal. I fell for the oddities meme and it sucks dick. It's only useful if you decide to play as a stealth thief. For anything else, it just makes everything feel meaningless.

Also, do yourself a favor and get cheat engine and configure it to use a speed up hack. The backtracking in this game is fucking awful. Nothing has been this bad since Morrowwind and at least that had the boots of blinding speed.

>>390182313
Grind levels. He was told to level up. As if that would help him.

Actually he finally told him the correct answer, but he fucked up one crucial detail. Which is arguably even worse than his original advice.

>>390183219
Kek.
I heard CAU armor is useful in here.

>>390183323
It's useful, but not the almost total invincibility this one gives. But since it's heavy with a huge AP penalty outside the forest CAU armor is a better choice for something you just walk around in.

Pretty much, but Ezra may have left by the time the revolt began. He was only visiting.

>>390184119

Pretty sure Erza is supposed to be one of the old biocorp leaders, probably even older than that

>>390185464
Hollow Earth was Old Biocorp, and Ezra was there shortly, like, days before the end. We just don't know for sure if he was still around when shit went down.

So he already said there will be no Hexagon? I remember he said that Expedition will feature some part of north underrail. Well that's pretty sad, anyway i'm sure something he will deliver something really cool anyway, You can see how matures his work, deep caverns was close to perfect.

In due time. Patience.

>>390187052
We know he was a Dragon of Old Biocorp. Very few names on that list.

>>390187198
>So he already said there will be no Hexagon?

Yes. It is confirmed that Hexagon is strictly sequel territory, because it would be too big and too complex to do in an expansion. Expedition will explore other parts of South Underrail, and if there will be other expansions, those will too.

Cyberpunk games don't take advantage enough of the massive flexibility in character design the setting offers. Cybernetic eyes or arms alone could have as many different models with different features as the entire perk systems of other games.

>>390190307
On another note, I think sniper rifles got to be the most customizable weapon in the entire game. I don't think any other weapon can have its behaviour changed as drastically as sniper rifles.

You can make a traditional sniper rifle that shoots only once per turn with very high close range/move penalties that is capable of dealing over 3000 damage in one shot, therefore capable of 1-shoting literally everything in the game.

Or a more tactical sniper rifle that shoots twice per turn with relatively low penalties (as low as 15% move and 12.5% close range so comparable to crossbows) that will probably cap at 1000-1500 or so, not enough for the toughest enemies.

Or anything in between. I like that.

>>390191730
I recognize that screenshot and file name from /indie/

>>390190520
Acid pistol alone? You can get by, but not all that great.

Chem/Energy pistol combined on the other hand is incredibly fun. Mad Chemist Incendiary Pistols are unbeatable when it comes to setting things on fire, nothing else can give you 80+% chance with every shot. Cryo is slightly less good, but still basically a better Cryokinesis with chance to freeze. Add in Electroshock pistols for chain lighting, and you have a really fucking fun repertoire with energy/acid/heat/cold/electric damage and a wide range of status effects to play with.

>>390190520
Sadly among the weakest in the entire game. Your damage output will be low, I'm talking one of the lowest possible. You will also need to find a way to deal with acid-immune or resistant enemies such as mutants, deep worms, majority of robots, CAU if you join the drones, etc.

>>390191842
You could also recognize it from daily Underrial threads on /v/ from 2 years ago.

>>390190520
Acid/incediary/electro for CC, amplified plasma pistol for killing. Make sure to take a healthy dose of throwing. Grenadier and 3 pointer really round out the build.

it felt like the game was too punishing if you couldn't kill every enemy in one turn. if anyone was left alive you would end up stunned/frozen/exploded by grenades so you might as well just reload.

Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't really have a reliable counter. Not much you can do against that other than take them out first. Fortunately enemies that can freeze are also rare.

There are tons of ways to protect yourself from all of those even if you fail to kill everyone.

If you must hit absolutely every hit and kill everyone in the first turn in order to stay alive, you are simply bending RNG to your side to compensate for the shortcomings of your build.

Absolute madman.

>>390194325
Yeah, pistol buils is arguably the best build against Carnifex since you can reach enough initiative to always act first.

You can also abuse map transitions since that -10 initiative penalty still leaves you with enough to act first almost always.

Psi builds spoiled me so much, how do people even play the game whitout being able to stun anything that moves ?

>>390195129
Throwing is a good trick.

Unintentional gimp.

>>390195573
Hard to say. It has a classless system and one of the strongest points of the game is that you can make literally dozens of builds with vastly different playstyles.

Pure psi, psi monk, sniper, metal armor assault rifle , SMG, pistol, crossbow, pure unarmed, sledgehammer, knife, energy pistol, chemical pistol, pure throwing, I could go on and on. Then there are different types of armors, combining different weapon types, adding some psi only to support your main weapon, traps, stealth, etc.

It was hilarious when I realised what was happening, I didn't anticipate at all that I would actually become too good at killing people, especially since I made the mistake of my first crafted rifle having a compensator.
Luckily by the time I realised how good smart modules were the problem had mostly resolved itself, but the midgame where I was reliably hitting 2-3 people per burst was the best.

Crossbow without traps a possibility? I know they have synergy and traps are really good, but after using them in an unfinished former playthrough I find them tedious to use. I would max throwing instead I'm thinking.

Ezra is not only Styg's avatar, he is one of the very few characters whose dialog remained virtually unchanged since its conception, using mostly Styg's own writing even to this day.

Back in the earliest days when dialog was still very dry with almost no descriptive green text, Ezra already had his paragraph-long introduction. Even Tanner only had a single line back then.

Depends on build.

>>390203171
All of them are very fun, it's hard to pick a best. You can make your decision based on traders, JKK has sneaky stuff, Coretech has electric gadgets and components, Praetorian has weapons and armors, parts and whatnot.

If you are psi I recommend Praetorian though.

Because by this point we know Depot A's enemy placement by heart and can tell that it doesn't replace anything.

I can add another detail.
The two-headed mutant's spawn location is not completely fixed, and might change depending on the direction you come from. Anon entered from the south, and that's where his mutant was. However I came from the east, and mine appeared right there.

>Don't see too much into that number
Don't try to keep your voodoo secrets from me!
No, I'm just kidding - I won't be that obsessed with reloading, I'll just try a couple times for fun and then keep going with my playthrough. I'm used to retrying for an event with low odds but I should get around to actually finishing the game this playthrough.

>>390207532
>it's the worst thing that can ever happen to it.
I dunno, being killed by ironheads and/or eaten by lurkers and/or raped by lunatics seems worse. Protectorate prevents that, drones make it happen.

>>390207934
At least you die from the lurkers instead of being gassed and turned into a mutant.

>>390208083
That only happens to the drones.

>>390208462

>>390208207
>Apparently. Neither of them are devs, despite the jokes we don't actually have devs here.
Well, I can't see how that could possibly be confusing at all. Who are they, then?
That was actually a typo, sorry anon. I intended to say 'dev' as in development, I only started playing the full release so I missed all the early patches, alphas and early threads.

Find Arlane at SGS and ask her about rumors. She will mention the sailors talking about Silent Isle. Find the captain at Junkyard and ask him about it, after then you can ask him to take you there.

I just completed the game. I played a psionic punching monk with high crafting skills. The game was pretty hard around the middle, but I was an murderous barbarian at the end. Very, very strong build.

Overall, this is an extremely hard game. It's like none other. They really throw a lot of shit at you near the end. (I liked Deep Caverns a lot. Fuck the haters. The atmosphere was top tier.)

>>390211272
>The atmosphere was top tier.
I agree. All that lore, too.

Just installed this, what am I in for? Which kind of build should I do for my first playthrough?

>>390210708
Say what you will, he was a good leader. He turned SGS into one of the best stations in the south, watched out for his citizens, and encouraged you to adopt his policies.

>>390211407
>Just installed this, what am I in for?
Pretty challenging classic cRPG.

>Which kind of build should I do for my first playthrough?
Whatever you want. Metal armor assault rifle and pure psi are among the strongest and most straight-forward.

Remember that Siphoners are your friends, they just want to be loved.

>>390211272
It's an extremely well-designed area. Shame so many people buy into the bitching and go in with a shit mindset.

>>390211385
In a recent patch, Styg made it easier to befriend the Faceless. Specifically, the encounter at Rail Crossing doesn't hurt you. You can be friends with them as long as you help the 2 patrols. That's it.

If you accomplish that, they tell you critical plot information about the origins of the Faceless and Tchort.

>>390211643
I love them so much I wear them on my feet.

>>390211640
Is any kind of build viable for the game? Or do I have to keep min-maxing my character like an idiot?

>>390211732
Didn't know it was made easier, neat.

>>390211272

>>390211801
Game is reasonably hard and will fuck you for jack of all trades, it's not PoE. Find a niche and stick to it.

I want to be a Faceless Centaur!

>>390211801
As long as you put some effort into making a working build and understand the game mechanics you will be fine.

As long as you don't do something stupid like a 3 STR sledgehammer build or a gun build with no points in guns, anything is viable.

>>390211906
Psi monk sounds better than a psi martial artist.

>>390183008
Can't you press a button on your keyboard to highlight them all?

>>390211801
No, not any kind, although an experienced player could probably do it with anything.

Minmaxing and metagaming is not necessary, but you should have a focus and remember that what you build is what you'll have to play. Think about how your build is going to play before you settle on one. Don't pick sledgehammers if you want something more creative than hitting things until they die, don't pick traps if sneaking around and turning the place into a minefield before engaging the enemy doesn't sound like your thing, and so on.

Have a general idea about the archetype, like 'I want to be a psyker' or 'I want to tank and gun', then understand which attributes, skills, and feats will help you with that. Make sure to browse the complete feat list to get a general idea about their pre-requirements and at what point they'll become available to you.

Other than that, just try to have fun.

>>390212340
Not the secret ones. The cursor will still change when it hovers over them though.

>>390211732

I thought there was just the one patrol looking for something

>>390212426
>although an experienced player could probably do it with anything.
Yeah. As a matter of fact you canbeat the entire game with nothing but traps, did that.

I loved New Vegas and I liked the backstory and lore of the first two Fallouts but never played them, will I enjoy Underrail?

>>390213012
>but never played them
Hard to tell. It would be probably better to play Fallout first.

Did you play Deus Ex or System Shock?

>>390213012
Hard to say, Underrail is not a Fallout-style game. There are other games that would tell us more, have you for example played System Shock? Deus Ex? Might and Magic games?

>>390213163
>>390213194
Yeah, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex, loved them

Still salty as fuck sniper rifles will be unusable on jet skis. I will have to play pretend with a fucking A-A scope/smart module chimera assault rifle since that's the closest it gets to a sniper rifle, it's stupid. I would be fine if they banned all 2-handers.

Feel bad for sledges, too.

>>390213267
I'd say give it a go then. Game is nowhere near as verbose and story centric as the Fallouts were, but gameplay is top notch and follows similar design principles as SS and DX.

>>390213267
Underrail takes a lot from those, so you will probably like it.

>>390213746
Up to you, really. The game is not expensive at all, but if you are not certain about it no one can really blame you for pirating and making your decision later. The game is not for everyone, but if you like it, you know the drill.

The mind reader, the one stranded faceless in core city in a cage and the group looking for acid hunters info near foundry. From what i noticed, befriending all 3 grants you info, 2 lets you walk around them and 1, lets you be at peace as long you don't go near them.

>>390213012
Play first two Fallouts first because Underrail has vastly better combat. Same with Age of Decadence, both games are Black Isle combat done right. And there's Dungeon Rats, too.

Play Fallouts (including Tactics), then Underrail.

>>390215576
Oh, that's how it's always been. But you are slightly wrong-
If you kill the caged Faceless they will go apeshit, no matter what else you've done.

Do we need to find all oddities to get to level 25 or is it doable without finding all oddities? I had to burst my balls to get some like the JKK one and the black eel gang without making everyone shoot me on sight, and i don't even know if i can get insect repellent since the dungeon for it seems locked behind JKK mission

>>390215716
What about those faceless west of core city in a cavern? They shoot me on sight, unsure if i kill em will make everyone upset

>>390215820
It doesn't, they only judge you for situations where cooperation was a possibility. When they shoot on sight they don't expect you to be a good boy and die.
The game tracks the number of Faceless you have killed, but this is not used for your reputation with them or for anything else. Yet.

>>390216558
It's probably a bug. I have pressed the switch, and for me the turrets turn blue and start attacking the mindreader.

But seriously, cooperating with them is better. If you have enough persuasion you can even convince him to leave Buzzer alone.

It hurts.

>>390217587
Rail crossing, i was aiming at the camera.

>>390217772
Downstairs? Don't sweat it, only the mindreader matters. He shouldn't turn hostile unless you attack him personally.

I sometimes take the direct approach with them and enter through the front door to simply mental breakdown the ones downstairs, then go negotiate with the leader.

I had a lot of fun with traps and grenades. Get like 10 enemies stuck at a door and then toss the entire action bar down the other side. I killed the entire Free Drones in like 3 turns

>>390218091
I lockpicked buzzer off, and he went berserk on the faceless.

>>390173623
Undertale or Underrail, what should I buy? They both have similar names.

how am I supposed to kill heavily armored enemies with a knife

>>390218520
Well, roll with it if you are fine with that, but it means you won't ever be friends with them. You can still be neutral though.

With Buzzer you basically have three options, help him and ruin your rep with the Faceless, let the Faceless kill him and stay pals, or if you are good enough at persuading beg them to let him live without ruining your rep.

>>390218783
That's implying i didn't use him as faceless bait.

Feats are Taste for Blood, Locus of Control, Combo, Vile Weaponry, Expose Weakness, Fancy Footwork, Premeditation, Lightning Punches, Nimble, and Sprint.

You want 10 WIS and 14 DEX to make all that work. With 14 DEX, you can equip a fist weapon and attack like 12 times per round, doing crazy damage with all your unarmed feats.

My skills were Melee, Thought Control, Psychokineses (max all 3 of these combat skills), Tailoring (for crafting fist weapons and light armor), Electronics (for shields and augmenting fist weapons), Mechanics, Hacking, and Lockpicking.

Locus of Control and Mind Control spells make combat an absolute joke. You incapacitate entire teams of enemies, then close in and pulverize. ALWAYS keep Force Emission on, light armor, and equip a power fist and shield. PULVERIZE.

>>390219347
You don't have to kill them though, you just need to get out of there alive and preferably still human.

Is anything gonna transfer to the expansion as far as plot choices go? I was thinking about playing again doing stuff I hadn't done before. My first playthrough heavy armor AR was so awful, just tank pray'n'spray with sprint being my holy grail ability.

>>390215576
I'm telling you, Styg just patched it. Now helping the 2 patrols ALONE will befriend them and give you the plot information. You do not to get all 3 events, but I think you need to save both patrols.

I just went through this and got the plot info, and went on a murderous rampage in Rail Crossing earlier.

>>390217338

I am 100% sure that if you help the faceless at foundry and core city, and then kill every other faceless you find until the deep cavers you still get friendly with them and can get the info

just make sure you talk to them before you talk to the tchorists in the deep caverns

>>390219476
I made it to the next room maybe 3 times but Im just too wimpy to take all their shots trying to run through, always get detected right past the security room.

Probably not much, it's a mid-game expansion in a different location. Maybe a new quest for a certain faction if we are lucky.

>>390212714
Styg himself said it in a forum post, but it's not in the patch notes. I think he believed the Rail Crossing event locked too many people out of plot-critical information.

It would have for me. A perfectly reasonable person would've killed the mind reader in that situation.

>>390219747
>I think he believed the Rail Crossing event locked too many people out of plot-critical information.

Dammit Styg, don't spoonfeed people!

Bro when the FUCK is the expansion coming out????

>>390219347


You can kill them all before releasing the gas

>>390219062
There's a CheatEngine table for Underrail you could use to edit your character. I used it one time when I fucked up instead of losing progress.

>>390219173

The faceless are extremely practical and pragmatic. The death of the mindreader does not ruin your potential neutral/friendly disposition with the Faceless later on in the game. However, if you are going to fuck with the Faceless, buzzer's shop should be the only time.

When does the game pick up?

I played for like 45 minutes and it was utterly boring

>>390220423
Or he could just wait until next time he gets to pick a feat. Those feats would be more immediately useful, but it's not like Uncanny Dodge and Evasive Maneuvers are bad.

>>390220526
Right, right, got the message. I'll try to find Styg's post about this, if you are correct I'll stop spreading fake news from now on.

>>390220627
Hang in there until you can start crafting awesome energy shields. It's only then that you become an invincible combat god. Until that point, you're squishy and can die fast. Fortunately, you can really screw with the enemy AI with Mind Control spells and EMP grenades and Molotov Cocktails (even with minimal Throwing skills).

>>390223560
Not much really, it's near impossible to build full psi wrong unless you go full retard.

Start with 10 WILL, max all three schools. There. That's it.

For a slightly more complicated answer, exactly how you want to build it depends on whether you want to go psychosis or tranquility. Tranquility works best as a stealthy, mobile fast cannon that doesn't get hit, psychisus make great tanks.

But this is just a general rule, people have made very effective tranquility tanks and glass cannon psychos before. So feel free to build whatever you want.

Must have feats are Premeditation and Locus of Control, rest is free choice, depending on your build.

>>390223789
You have to admit, no sane person would wrap their feet in something soaked in acid.

>>390224310

>Psychosis
>Tank

why ?, it gives you a crit on demand, its literally made for glasscannon

full crit damage cryokinetic orb kills pretty much everything as fucking aoe

>>390224513
I imagined that goofy anime slippers would just zero your intimidation score, but making them out of mutant dog leather probably means you're some kind of psycho

>>390224968
Because Survival Instincts has good synergy with Psychosis, and because most Psychosis players will naturally gravitate to the heavier psi armors to mitigate the cost increase.

Just because you take a vest or riot armor doesn't mean you will be tanking anything, psi more than gives you enough tools to never have to take a hit

and i honestly don't get why would anybody use survival instincts, you never want to be on 30% hp on purpose, not even for 30% crit, hell with more damage you don't really need to crit more than once and thats why you have the crit on demand talent

even if you were trying to get more crits, electrostatic electricity is probably more than enough and doesn't put you in the risk of being in low hp

>>390226793
Not directly but there are hints.

>>390226712

you get 10% of your psychokinesis as synergy for both thought control and metathermics

Its also incredibly important since it improves the damage from both electrokinesis and electrokinetic imprint which are basically your only way of dealing with robots and turrets besides EMP grenades

>>390227343
Honestly, every build benefits from Throwing, and a psi character should have high Electronics anyway.

>>390227343
You don't really need the synergy on top of what thought control and metathermics give each other and your massive Will in my opinion. With a minimal investment in throwing and just enough psychokinesis for electro and force field instead you can take care of turrets and bots just fine.

The other two schools are way better for the rest of the enemies in the game. The new school as well I imagine. From a pure 'wizard' standpoint the other two schools are more important and you can diversify into the crafting you have the INT for instead.

>>390228063

you can still get the proper crafting with the 3 schools, and i might have thought that just enough for electrokinesis was enough until arke power plant last floor, i was really glad to have proper psychokinesis there

Literally everything mentioned in this review is what makes Deep Caverns good.

>lots of exploration

>limited supplies to increase difficulty

>new challenging enemies with unique abilities that break the mold and force the player to adapt

>challenging final boss, as it should be since it's a fucking final boss

>solid, optional logical puzzle to weaken said bkss

>tons of new lore to read

>all of this is somehow an "issue"
How the fuck do scrubs like this even reach Deep Caverns?

It is actually possible to end the game with all the factions hostile to you ?

Making SGS hostile breaks the main questline, but you could slaughter them after returning from DC and still take the train to end the game. You also need to be on good terms with at least one of the oligarchs until you find acid hunters.

What you guys think of Nerd Commando's game?

His builds are alright, but you can do a lot better.

I got around halfway (I think?) as a wizard, lost my HDD and didn't start again

What's the most FUN way to play? I've always thought scientist (energy guns, high crafting) might have been pretty cool. Or maybe knives+stealth?

>le funny crossbow man
>throwing net
>shock bolt
>flashbang

this shit really fucks my dick

stealth, traps and throwing are maximum fun skills

If you struggle with nets so much, either take Escape Artist or craft infused siphoner leather tabis.

Shock bolts are pretty nasty if you don't have Thick Skull or Bullhead pills, but with a bit of good positioning you should be able to survive one turn.

Never found flashbangs to be much of a problem since more often than not another enemy will break the effect before it's even your turn. Worst case scenario you lose one turn, can be dealt with.
