General / Possible for weak builds to finish the game?
« on: July 27, 2016, 05:59:39 am »
I have followed the development of Underrail on the rpgcodex but I have just gotten around to starting the game. Since there is no manual to read or pre-generated characters, I have had to resort to reading up on forums regarding builds that have the ability to finish the game. I have read that there are trap builds that will simply be unable to finish the game after a certain point.
This brings me to the question: Of all of the builds that are laid out on these forums (most appreciated by the way), are the weakest of these still able to finish the game? It seems like pistol builds are probably the weakest of the 'builds' that I have read up on. I don't care if a certain build is easy or hard to play, I just care that I won't spend a lot of hours on a character that is doomed to failure. (Doomed to failure also means characters that simply cannot fight past a certain point of the game. Characters that MUST sneak or play pacifist because they will just get destroyed count as failure builds, as that's a specific type of play through, not one to be forced into.)
PS As brilliant as this game is, there is some small learning curve. It's taken me about five hours of forum reading to feel like I have a decent grasp on the game mechanics (not to even begin going in to crafting!). I really love the look of some of the pistol builds, but they seem to be looked down on as of the current (final?) update. Can pistol builds finish the game?
