Suggestions / Suggestion: don't require physical combat to get access to psi skills

« on: January 01, 2016, 12:07:14 am »

I'm a new player, just having gone through character creation and explored the starting base. I read a lot about how you can accomplish much of the game through stealth so I made a Psi/Thief build with the intention of trying to avoid as much combat as possible. Unfortunately I found out right away that I have to use combat to kill some rat thingy with a crossbow just to get access to one of the psi schools. It seems very strange that this is a requirement. Not only do I have to use a non-psi combat option to get psi abilities but I have to use a combat skill I have no points in and pray I win after some number of reloads.

I'm sure I'll get past this eventually and enjoy the game, but it would be really nice if obtaining psi abilities did not require me to do non-psi combat. Perhaps an alternative way of capture one of those rodents? I saw some crates for capturing non-hostile critters, maybe some extension of that mechanic?



Unrelated, these verification images are nearly impossible to read. Having to reload new images a dozen times is super annoying when posting. I'm already registered, why do I have to do these stupid things?? Also, fuck the chemical symbol for tungsten. Seriously. And the capital of Spain. And any other stupid annoying questions. </rant>
What I meant to say is that the verification questions are extremely annoying and it would be great if they were removed.
