Builds / Re: New Player: is my goofy roleplay build salvageable?

« on: February 26, 2023, 12:35:08 pm »

My stat allocation makes no sense b/c I had to make irreversible decisions with no foreknowledge of how the game works.  This is why it pisses me off when RPGs like this don't have a respec option.  I have less free time than I used to and I don't appreciate entertainment products that waste it.  But whatever, that's a separate issue.

I appreciate you taking the time to create an example build and I have a couple questions.  Why did you level dodge but not evasion?  On the surface, it looks like the Versatility strat you mentioned wastes a bunch of skill points.  Do you eventually get more bang for your buck in effective guns level by levelling melee with high Dex even with the initial 70 point investment into guns?

Thanks for your help

Builds / New Player: is my goofy roleplay build salvageable?

Hi all, I got the game years ago and was intrigued but couldn't get into it.  I picked up Expedition yesterday and started a new game on Normal with Oddity xp and I'm loving it.  Unfortunately I'm having what seems to be a common experience in getting my ass handed to me by Depot A.  I've attached images of my stats, skills, and feats.  My idea going in blind was to try make a sneaky dodge tank mad scientist, but I mostly just seem to die.  Stealth seems less useful than I hoped since I haven't leveled lockpicking or traps.  I met Fixer in the Junkyard and crafted myself a cool chemical pistol!  Unfortunately the mutants in the depot resist half the damage and I can't get many attacks off anyway since I didn't invest in Dex.  I bought some MK2 Frag Grenades for aoe dmg and flashbangs for cc, but I can't seem to finish off one group of enemies before reinforcements arrive.  I've crafted morphine and adrenaline for even more survivability, but the simple fact is I just don't output enough damage.

I would appreciate tips for getting through the depot with the resources currently at my disposal as well as advice on where to take my character going forward.

Bugs / Can't launch

This issue might be better for Steam itself, but Steam support directed me here.

Underrail crashed once on a loading screen.  I don't remember exactly where, but I believe I was exiting to the main menu.  Since the crash, Steam permanently lists me as playing Underrail, even if I'm playing a different game.  Steam won't let me launch or delete Underrail, or exit Steam because it thinks Underrail is running.  I've restarted my computer and checked task manager, the game is definitely not running.  Any ideas how to fix this?
