Biocorp Utility Outpost #6 [Spoilers]

[Azura_04]

Hey hey people.

I come back to the forum with a suggestion that is related to the new Utility tower.

Alright. I'll be quick. once you reach the top floor of the utility tower and walk to the outside, you will encounter a new ladder.

Once you climb this ladder you will encounter this skill check.

You either require 8 will or 10 constitution to pass this check. If you don't have any of the required skills, you will be forced to give up and return to the bottom of the ladder.

If you pass the check, you will find yourself in this powerplant like room with heavy security in it.

and here a sentry path version for development purposes. In case this idea makes it. Which I really doubt.

You will find a unique energy pistol there.

Phase Rifle.

A sniper that deals energy damage instead of mechanical damage and also disperses 100 shield points on hit. Has a base AP cost of 40. The base damage lies at 75-125.

Back to the level. Shall we? During the entire area, both this lower powerplant and the upper outpost, you will constantly have to deal with a 45 stack of frigit environment and take 10 cold damage and 1 chilled stack every 2 turns/10 seconds.

Once you beat the turrets and enter the elevator, you will find yourself in this area :

As you see, there is a console. With multiple dialogue options. You will see them all in the following screenshots.

Heating system activation : https://imgur.com/a/nuJmaq9 (Made a typo there...)

What does hacking the security systems do? It deactivates the turrets and cameras.

What does opening the doors do? Nothing.

What does the surface scan do? Provide you some information about the surface. What it's current status is, etc. Just lore. And potentially new dialogue options for people like Tanner, Eiden, Cathard, Azif, etc.

What does the heating system activation do? It gives you the warmed up effect and negates the passive frigid environment and chill stacking. Only counts for the outpost and the basement. The utility tower itself will still freeze your *ss off.


Well...this was my idea...hope it's alright. Please don't be too harsh on the proposed maps. They were a pain to make. Trust me. They were.

Im diggin this up, this lad did crazy work and dedication to her idea.

Beautiful work, though I'd argue that it would be a shame to have the mystique of the surface ruined by describing it.

Don't worry. This "scan" option doesn't have to exist or anything. Everything is just a concept idea which.

My general idea was to just give this Utility tower a bigger purpose. Since you climb up so high, I'm baffled that it's so...Unremarkable in terms of the end. Which. Spoilers. Is either a feat or a unique helmet. I just felt like that this location could use some more significance to the overall story instead of being a well...story wise unremarkable location. Which...Kinda sad.

Thanks for actually reading it. I'm glad that someone actually read it. XD Kinda thought it just got buried and nobody cared.

I appreciate it that you two took the time to read it. <3
