Suggestions / Unarmed Combat

« on: October 01, 2013, 11:15:51 pm »

Hello there guys, finished my first playthrough of the game as a crossbow user, and found it to be quite fun, granted I had a couple of feats I tended to forget to use here and there (special tactics mainly, a 15sec timer and the cooldown sometimes meant it didn't work right when I was expecting combat to be right around the corner, and didnt want to waste a shot of a special arrow with crappy to hit numbers). Now fixing to begin a second runthrough and this time forgoing range combat save for grenades (which I had fun with but was not very good at utilizing) and using my bare fists. I notice that the wiki states that some of the feats mention that there is a difference between being unarmed and wearing combat gloves, and wanted to know if this was going to remain of if it would change in the future? I think of combat gloves akin to brass knuckles which I fail to see the difference between the two, I mean a punch is a punch, and the defensive feats make the stipulation of unarmed only. Are the feats still working this way (ie no weapons actively equipped at all) or have they been changed mechanically to allow the use of combat gloves as well?

General / How do you play Underrail?

Just more of a curiosity really. How do you play underrail? Right now am a skills character with an SMG, but just ran into my first bit of trouble in the GMS compound (spoilers) and the damn drones, what I get for not reading ahead and packing emp grenades. Also interested in running around with either a crossbow or a sledge, and having a Gallagher moment with the enemies which may be fun. How about you?

Suggestions / Suggestions for Crossbow Feat and Grammar

« on: September 28, 2013, 12:05:16 pm »

Hey there Styg, had a couple of suggestions to give to you after my first experiences with the game.

1) I notice that crossbows have a high action point cost, which I can understand starting out with the weapon. How about a feat that lessons the ap cost based on a percentage of dex or agi? I would think the more you use the crossbow, the more adept you are at quickly loading and firing it. A crossbow mastery as it were. Maybe reduced 1 point per 20% of the stat. Not game breaking at first but picks up as you go representing you mastering the weapon. Hell could even be by % of weapon skill since crossbow only affects that while guns encompass a larger selection.

2) I noticed areas in the dialog where the grammar doesn't match how you would speak in English and comes across as a bit odd. I realize English isn't a native language for everyone, and if you would like I can get the areas where this comes up and suggest how the text should read.

Thanks for making the game, I think it's the first one in a long time that I felt was worth more than I payed, even in alpha. Underrail is THAT good!

General / UnderRail and Vista

« on: September 26, 2013, 10:39:07 pm »

Hi there, first off the game itself looks very interesting, and I plan to pick it up tomorrow (stupid autodeposit going in at midnight rather than the day before). I wanted to know if this game worked across systems such as Vista, and if it would need to be run in compatibility mode, ect.?

Also, this game seems to be a mix of fallout and metro, is that a fair assumption?
