Bugs / HE Mines don't cause fear to Rathounds
« on: January 09, 2021, 06:11:08 pm »
1: Fire makes Rathounds become afraid.
2: HE Mines deal Heat damage, thus fire.

I used an HE Mine on Rathounds, they took damage but didn't become afraid.

Bugs / Psionic Mentor - Cryostasis or Pyrokinesis Stream?
« on: January 09, 2021, 04:32:38 am »
In this location,



from this box,



I found a Psionic Mentor where the description seems to conflict with the title (not actually sure which it teaches).

Bugs / Explosive Barrel - Troll Placement
« on: January 04, 2021, 11:51:24 am »
So I was in Lower Underrail, not far from Warehouse Block Beta...



... and I noticed an Explosive Barrel next to enemies, perfect for taking them down right away...



... so I threw a fireball with Pyrokinesis...



Wait, the Explosive Barrel did nothing? So the shelf and locker completely shielded them from the explosion? That's ludicrous! D:

I'm guessing it's not intentional for that Explosive Barrel to be completely useless despite being 1 tile away from both of them.

(Also getting major deja vu regarding this bug, but I went back through my old posts and didn't see it.)

EDIT: It occurs to me that just attacking the barrel by itself would demonstrate this better. Shame that didn't occur to me at the time, ah well.

Suggestions / Balanced Handles

Balanced handles for knives and sledgehammers, to add a slight accuracy bonus like the guns have.

Bugs / Inconsistent Camera Line-of-Sight
« on: July 13, 2014, 12:03:22 am »
So cameras only detect you when they're pointed in your general direction and you're close enough, right?

But if you use anything with a red cursor (thus implying something criminal or something that people nearby wouldn't want you to do) the camera either immediately breaks your stealth or starts combat with you- regardless of facing or even if there's anyone watching you do something.

[I'd realized this one ages ago, but it only just now occurred to me to submit this obvious bug]

Bugs / Visual Layer Disorder - Junkyard - Mutie's Footlocker
« on: July 11, 2014, 08:52:32 pm »


Only reason you can see most of the footlocker is because my cursor is hovering over it. From this position it clips to being beneath the table.

General / Pneumatic Hammer - Resist Chance?
« on: July 09, 2014, 05:32:21 pm »
I believe the higher grade Pneumatic Hammers increase the damage boost and the energy cost...

So, if you wanted a Pneumatic Hammer purely for the incapacitating effect, would it be better to get a really low-tier one so it doesn't use much energy? Or do higher grade PH's have a higher chance of successfully incapacitating?

Bugs / Incorrect Visual Layer Priority

I had no idea what to call this one, I can't remember the proper terms for it, but here it is:

Bugs / Hijacked Train
« on: July 09, 2014, 03:45:03 pm »
I played this area once before and I find myself wondering: From a design perspective what was supposed to happen here?

-

Step-by-Step:

1 - Eliminating the bandits isn't a problem

2 - A cutscene happens (nothing is inherently wrong with cutscenes, but...), in which my character stands stock still making no attempt at stealth or tactical positioning and watches another bandit (bandits are already completely hostile at this point so I would be doing something instead of standing still) slooooowly walk up and set up a huge bomb (which one would imagine would take a few seconds, a few seconds with which I could react)

3 - Cutscene ends and my character, instead of doing anything at
 A - The end of combat
 B - When I spot the next bandit
 C - When the bandit starts walking
 D - When the bandit starts fiddling around with a bomb
just decides to have a little chat after giving the bandit ample time to do whatever she pleases.

4 - Finally I actually fight the bandit as I logically would have after stealthing after downing her friends

5 - Now comes a tedious process of trial and error in which the PC inevitably dies repeatedly unless they just give up and let the cargo get destroyed (this process is actually much longer than the rest, but I don't want to give away exactly how to solve it [despite the fact that I feel like the whole process is just ridiculous]).

-

Okay. This qualifies as a bug because it falls under a category called 'Design Flaws'. This qualifies for that category because this process makes no sense in the flow of the rest of the gameplay.

I'm also just confused what the developer intention was here? Is this a little freebie for people who actually put points in Persuasion/Intimidate (which, I have to admit, I pretty much never do)?

-

I strongly feel that several parts of this segment should be revised.

I can't make demands here but I'd really like to know what the intention behind the many instant-death options in disarming the bomb were. Are we expected to just reload repeatedly? I wouldn't have a problem with instant-death things, but this isn't a game where that's a frequent occurrence.

Setting up a bomb is OK, but don't have a pointless segment where my stealthy character stands out in the open and freely allows a bandit to set up a bomb. If you must have the bomb segment, have the bomb set up ahead of time and just have the bandit trigger the countdown after walking out of cover (though this brings up another point, you have to make it realistically feasible that she was set up in such a way that she could somehow elude my perception regardless of circumstance- if you had her come out of the sealed vault doors (since I can't access those) it would actually work).

General / Pickpocketing Patrollers

Is it possible?

Bugs / Map with no Exit!
« on: July 09, 2014, 02:18:09 pm »
Unfortunately I don't know how to isolate what this specific map is called, but-

I went to floor 1 of SGS (with the railroad) and then proceeded a little north and now I'm following the path far, far east. I came across an area where the railroad track is blocked off and there are a few Ironhead fellows hanging around with one camera watching the track. I went one map south after clearing the place-

... and there I was. Luckily I only quicksaved once on that map because there is no way back, it's just a dead end with no exit.

The map has a mine outside of a fence surrounding a number of Rathounds and a corpse. One of the first chances to shoot enemies through a fence with no possibility of retaliation that I'd seen in a while.

-

It may actually be pointless to mention this since I'm pretty sure each update improves on the maps, but I would like to highlight that this area is accessible but cannot be exited at all.

Bugs / Mutant Corpses
« on: July 09, 2014, 12:08:23 am »
At first I thought Mutant corpses were left behind because they didn't respawn... then I came back and found more mutants alive... but the old mutant corpses were still there.

Not Mutant Dogs, just Mutants.

General / How do you Loot?
« on: July 09, 2014, 12:03:44 am »
Do you click the 'Take All' button every time and sort junk out later?

Do you pick and choose while first looking through the loot?

Do you ignore extraneous containers that don't catch your interest?

Do you leave piles of certain things lying around?

Do you have any particular quirks about looting?

Bugs / Light without the Light
« on: July 08, 2014, 11:47:33 pm »
In the Rail Crossing Private Quarters 1 (that the Private Quarters 1 key goes to) the light effect appears, despite the fact that the light is defaultly off.
