Builds / Can I beat the game with an objectively bad build?
« on: April 21, 2024, 04:53:58 pm »
So I've got nearly 200 hours in the game (not counting the hours spent in the build editor) and I haven't finished it once. Furthest I've ever gotten was The Dude's questline but then the sword build I was running at the time got stomped by the Grey Army and I restarted with a different build.
I keep putting hours into the game only to get bored with the build I'm running and restarting to try something else.
At this stage I've given up and I'm just gonna try to run through the game on casual difficulty with an objectively bad build just so I can finally see the ending and do the DLCs.
The plan for the build is to start with 6 in every stat except for consitution and dexterity.
Dex will be at 7 because I like the three-pointer, quick tinkering, and escape artist feats; 3 constitution because casual difficulty already gives me a massive health boost and I can roleplay that the psi pill majorly damaged my immunities.
In terms of skills, feats, and increased base abilities I'm just going to take whatever takes my fancy each level up, I'll likely end up with a little bit of everything with guns as my main damage source and no base stat being above a 10.
I'm hoping that this means when I get half way through the game and get bored I'll be able to just level up my character in a different direction and dick around with different skills, items, and psi abilities until I get bored and switch again. I just want to know if you think this is even possible, min-maxing one or two skills and using your *one* chosen weapon group seems to be the game's entire build philosophy so could doing the exact opposite actually work if it's on casual difficulty?
It actually sounds kinda fun finding out if a completely average person could survive Underrail...
