There are some intimidate checks that are designed for you to fail, or intimidate checks that result in a bad outcome. Faceless mind reader is probably one of those.

styg doesnt want people to be able to get all oddities on a single run
the two-headed mutant will not show up in some runs no matter what

That only applies on runs below hard difficulty though, right? Some oddities are dominating exclusive, and I thought that the two headed mutant was just a rare random spawn that had the potential to appear on any hard or dominating run.

Yeah, it would be nice if there was a static spawn for the two headed mutant late game, like the toxic waste disposal facility near the institute of tchort.

Maybe a better change would be “after taking damage, gain crit chance equal to half the percentage of health lost for 2 rounds”. For example, gettin hit by an AR burst that takes you from 100% health to 40% health would give +30% crit chance. This way characters don’t just walk around under 30% health, and builds focused around a powerful alpha strike have to expend resources like throwing a grenade to get the crit boost. It also makes SI much more appealing to tank builds, who normally don’t walk around at low health without stoicism.

I feel like with both options, people would just use caltrops to manipulate health right before starting combat. SI instead should probably just give 20% crit chance.

Suggestions / Re: Randomized Death Stalkers location in Dominating.

This would probably be fine if it happened as a semi-rare mid game encounter (maybe 3-4 times per play through), but more than that and it would just be annoying. It also might break encounters in a couple areas, since the death stalkers attack everything and are easily attracted by noise. I’d argue that it probably would cause more harm than good, but it would be a cool random event to occur.

Suggestions / Re: Idea for riot armor in Infusion

« on: October 10, 2021, 08:55:53 pm »

Riot armor needs to occupy a bit more of a niche for it to be good. Metal armor has Good DT and high DR, but has massive armor penalty and can’t protect well against certain damage types like acid, cold, and electric. Leather armor offers mediocre protection most of the time, but makes up for it by giving unique bonuses based on leather type. Tac vests offer good DT against mechanical ranged weapons and are light weight, but have poor resistance against anything that isn’t a gun. Riot gear offers good protection against melee, but it’s armor penalty is so high you may as well be wearing a worse version of metal armor. Riot gear would really benefit if Shields didn’t add to armor penalty/added a lot less to armor penalty. Wielding weapons dosen’t increase armor penalty, so a shield really shouldn’t add as much penalty as it does. Shields already have enough of a drawback by restricting you to 1 handed weapons, so the massive armor penalty they give is just overkill. It would also be helpful if different types of shields gave unique effects, like if a psi beetle shield reduced damage taken from certain effects, or if a psi crab shield gave you the chance to block certain psi abilities such as electrokinesis and pyrokinetic stream. Being able to block multiple damage types with a shield like electric or energy instead of just mechanical damage would also be great.

Under what scenario would you use a bayonet instead of shooting your gun or using a knife? It only makes sense if there was a close range penalty for guns, but there isn’t with the exception of sniper rifles. It would scale with melee skill, which means it would only work on versatility builds, who can just switch to a melee weapon. This would be completely pointless.

if I can block a molly's flame by wearing some tin foil, it ain't that hot
and exo aura's damage depends on your skill

Maybe if your square receives x heat damage the net will burn away.

According to the wiki, exo aura damage does not scale with skill. Damage only scales with the intensity of the fire.

It would be nice if another zone or two was added in the mutagen tanks after the electric ladder. Like, you descend the ladder and then have to fight through a maze of fleshy barriers that can be destroyed with biocide grenades while fighting off attacks from tentacles, or you can take a longer way around that doesn’t require you to use biocide grenades. Another area could be accessed after you destroy the eye of the final boss, as a second phase of the fight. You crawl inside the hole left behind by the eye and fight against the heart, where you use biocide grenades to damage it while fending off waves of tchortlings and tentacles.

General / Re: Where is a new, BIG update?

« on: September 16, 2021, 01:16:10 pm »

It usually takes between 4-6 months between updates, so I’d expect to see this update by Christmas at the earliest. I’d guess that this might be one of the larger updates, so it might not even come out in 2021. I’d be thankful that we get new content at all, since the developers are under no obligation to release so many free content updates that are more than just bug fixes and minor tweaks.

I think with spec points and LTI this would let you permanently have Last Stand active, which would be a extremely overpowered. An alternative option would be allowing you to survive a fatal hit+ an additional fatal hit for every 4 points in con while last stand is active, to have last stand make you even tankier.

There is a suspicious wall in the green circle that seems like a good hidden entrance to Omega to me.

Since it is the final update, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was called the “omega update” or something like that. It definitely feels like they are teasing Omega related content with the Omega waterways area and the mysterious locked door outside GMS.
