This has no effect on the game. The only way to affect what happens with the oligarchs is to support Gorskey and join praetorian, which gives a special ending slide if a very specific set of events occurs.

« on: February 12, 2022, 03:06:43 pm »

Throwing Knives are fine as is, originally the only weakness they had was being utterly demolished by robots and other enemies with high mech DT, but now that acids exist that issue has been rectified. The latest update lets you get corrosive acid pre DC from the university, so now you can easily deal with the many tanky expedition enemies.

Bugs / Re: No option to tell Tanner about the Cube situation if you got there via Phreak

« on: February 10, 2022, 04:24:20 pm »

If you haven’t done the rail crossing quest/completed “find what the faceless are looking for”, Tanner hasn’t asked you to find the cube yet, so the player character wouldn’t know he wants the cube. The infiltrate the institute quest is the characters personal motivation, similar to how you get the quest to continue exploring the Black Sea after being fired from the expedition.

Suggestions / Re: Force Shield (Psychokinesis Riot Shield)

« on: February 10, 2022, 03:12:50 pm »

That’s kind of redundant with cryo shield, which already exists to block melee attacks. From the way you describe it, it just sounds like giving riot shields to all kinds of armor instead of just riot, which would make riot armor pointless. Also, why would you need 5 str if it’s a weightless psionic projection?

Bugs / Abomination Bugs

« on: February 09, 2022, 02:44:39 am »

Bug 1: Abomination respawn timer is active in turn based mode, respawning in real time. If you have game speed set to the fastest, this means he almost immediately respawns on top of you before you've had a chance to end your turn.

Bug 2: If you quicksave and quickload while the Abomination is respawning, it resets his spawn position to the center of the gas filled room, instead of where you killed him.

Suggestions / Re: Body Weight Training is very skewed.

« on: February 08, 2022, 03:18:32 pm »

It most certainly is not. It makes no sense for a veteran feat with high stat requirements to be objectively worse in every way when compared to a regular feat that can be grabbed at any level by any build. If BWT won't receive any buffs to address this, then the effects of Nimble and BWT should be swapped.

Compared to most of the veteran feats, body weight training is quite good, since you can reach 10 str at character creation, and lots of characters have high strength. Bodybuilding requires 12 con and only gives an 80 health boost. Expert sprint requires 13 agi, and only gives a 10 ap boost when sprint is activated. Veteran feats are meant to be niche feats for specific builds. Nimble is better than body weight training because it is the feat that enables evasive builds, so it needs to be powerful and available early. The advantage of body weight training is that it stacks with nimble, which can let you wear heavier armor while retaining low armor penalty bonuses.

The reason body weight training is so much worse than nimble is because it can potentially allow you to go under 20% armor penalty with super steel armor, if you combine it with armor sloping and specialization. You can then use it on a fist build with lightning punches to deal high damage, have high mobility, and be extremely durable. Body weight training is fine as is.

Builds / Re: Cyclops "Plasma Blaster" Metathermics Build- 6 Beams in One Turn

« on: February 07, 2022, 03:08:50 pm »

It’s a bit pointless to level a skill to 160 just to fight 2 types of enemies in expedition. In my play through, I just stealthed past every locust hive, or used tnt to destroy them. You could also take off the cyclops eye and use other MT abilities to deal with hives. Against nagas, the build was barely able to kill 1 using emp grenades and spamming plasma beam pre buff, so post buff the only nagas you’ll struggle with are the nagas guarding the grand archives.

General / Re: List of viable uniques

« on: February 07, 2022, 03:04:33 am »

A lot of the rebalanced uniques work well as a secondary weapon, since they received powerful abilities with cooldowns. Energizer Glove, Butcher's Cleaver, Kukri, Claymore, Captain's Cutlass, The Glaive, W&S .44 Magnum, and RRCh-42 all work great as secondary weapons.

If you want a unique primary weapon, you best bets are Quake, Red Dragon, Black Blade, Wasteland Hawk, XAL-001, Tommy Gun, RRCh-42, K&HKH416, and Dragunov.

It actually does have something to do with the mystery pyramid, as there is a new entry in the database for a certain someone. You can also ask John the Beautiful about him, and one way to reach him is to trip with motion at least 5 times.

As of the latest update this build got a huge buff, as you now get an additional 40% damage, 10% crit chance, and 5% psi cost reduction from the buffed Cyclops Eye. You can also fire off 7 beams in one turn using the new ap save mechanic, vit powder and at least 1 point of blitz specialization. I now recommend putting 2 spec points from Psycho-Neural Optimization into Blitz, to buff with focus stim and doctors belt before blasting. You can also potentially replace the staff spear with Hoddurform late game, as it now was buffed to give +30% crit damage and + 5% crit chance, bringing total plasma beam crit chance up to 40% when combined with Cyclops Eye and focus stim, with the downside of 15% increased psi cost. You can also now use Motion to increase psi points by 30 and psi regen by 5, meeting the 150 bio crafting requirement by shifting some skill points from stealth into bio. The build was already very solid pre buff, and you now have one of the highest damage builds possible in Underrail.

Bugs / Superintendent Rubin won’t give Dock Key

« on: February 05, 2022, 02:27:55 pm »

When attempting to steal the shield emitters for Gorskeys quest on the experimental version, Rubin’s only dialogue is “We have nothing more to discuss”. There is no option to bribe him or intimidate him into giving you the key, making it impossible to progress the quest in this way.

« on: February 05, 2022, 02:22:14 pm »

Bladelings aren’t the only crit immune enemy, there are also the mushroom dudes and Wyatt who are crit immune. I think it’s fine that they’re crit immune, they’re meant to be extremely tanky and they serve as a counter to crit builds.

It isn’t a softlock, you can just go back to Big Bret and tell him that Newton died.
