Sometimes, when mob dies from burning, char didn't get an experience.
I checked log twice, but after message about mob's death there wasn't message about +exp.
Dog, hit with incendiary bolt.
I agree that a trader's stock should change over time. Not in a wholly random way but in a manner that conveys the idea that the trader is trading with other traders. The likes of Jack Quicksilver and other wandering traders etc. Traders should probably have a particular array of item and component types that they'll carry with min / max amounts of each object. At certain points the trader's inventory chanegs within these bounds. It may be that they should also only buy items off the player that fit into these broader categories but this might be too prescriptive.
For me the problem lies with the idea that there is no 'time' in underrail yet. Having time and the passage of time as a game mechanic would help with this sort of thing. Maybe the trader's inventory changes once a week as a trade caravan passes through. This could be implied or it could be written into the game in a manner similar to the wandering caravans in Fallout 3. After so many days you actually see a travelling trader who deals in medicines show up and spend some time with Doctor Pasqual, restocking Pasqual's supplies. If you happen to be there at the time then you can trade directly with the traveller. If not then you can trade with Pasqual who's inventory has changed.
I think Styg's already working on respawn timers but making time a more concrete part of the game would allow for more creative uses and also make the environment feel more alive.
Here is a simple and perfect solution
* Traders replenish their stock ever 1-2 hours of gametime
* Traders stock better items after certain main story events ( as well as some other modifiers if wanted)
As long as you add a skill to shoot people in the crotch and drop them to the floor like a sack of spuds then I will be happy....
Hi
Bought the alpha ( here's wishing I'm one of many ), finished it and there are a few things I'd like to ask:
1. Crafting: I know you're working on that, but would it be possible to add highlighting to components usable in the current schematic? The icons get a bit small at 1920X1080 and when there's a lot of them (even with category filtering) it gets a bit tricky to find the right ones. Or at least make the text description clearer?
2. Locations: Any insights into plans how many you want to include? In terms of city hubs, dungeons, not separate maps.
3. Lockpicks: They'll break only on a successfull pick, right?4. Map (normal, not minimap ): Will there be one? I actually had no problems navigating the tunnels, but with more locations it may become an problem.(found the answer, sort of
)
5. Merchants: Will they restock goods? Right now they're a bit limited. I couldn't sell all the stuff I amassed from travels and genocide as I already got every schematic, stygian coin, ammo or stim I wanted.
6. NPC's: I assume that later on most named NPC's will have a story/quest behind them? Like the VERY old (and tough, luckily not fireproof) person from depot A.
Overall I really liked it and I'm eagerly awaiting the next build.
Oh, I encountered one bug: I got rid of all raiders at the GSC station stealthily (attacking from shadows, damn turret would steal my xp), the boss+2 cronies with a grenade and the prisoners stayed in "There are still bandits around" state. Not really game-breaking, but I tried twice and it repeated itself.
