A HECKIN BIG BOOFER WOOFER? WHOLESOME!

The entire basis for the genre is A Boy and his Dog.

That is a bold statement you won't be able to back up if pressed.

Why do you think the dog in Fallout is named Dogmeat?

[The_Mask]

I can't remember the quest name exactly, but during the quest line in the Forge where you have to fight the giant beast, I'm pretty sure you get a gentleman to help you (and I think he had something like a turret, or something like that). That quest is so memorable because of the sense of camaraderie and genuine emotion you get when you beat the beast, and there is a companion there to celebrate your success with.

Not sure why Styg is not implementing more of that. Playing a loner is fun, at first, but after 80h the shtick starts to wear thin.

[Tweed]

Oh boy another ****** to babysit, four times as many reloads due to a bad grenade throw. No thanks.

[BENEFACTOR]

if you don't think underrail would be improved with a dog companion you are bad at thinking

That movie is trash.


Mad Max is 1000x better.

Objectively bad opinion.

Jesus, you motherfuckers are crying about companions, instead of crying about the fact that an entire new weapon type that's being added to the ******* thing is going to be nigh on useless on dominating.
I'll buy it to raise the Serbian GDP, but ngl, Styg continues to disappoint. Infusion better be ******* good.

Need a psionic DLC to balance out, but it's more likely he'll just nerf it even further until you die on the spot from taking the psipill.

[wndrbr]

The DLC just came out. Anyone tried it? How bad are the nerfs?

[Boontaker]

This game looks cool, is it worth a playthrough?

Is it unbalanced skillpoint allocation jank?

Which build is the most broken?

yes, it's awesome. Don't expect it to be like Fallout 1-2, though.

Is it unbalanced skillpoint allocation jank?

unfortunately, no.

Styg (dev) did everything in his power to nerf most of the OP builds, he has this Josh Sawyer-like syndrome of needing to make his singleplayer rpg be as balanced as some competitive MMO.

I'd say the most fun build i ran was pure stealth + crossbows + traps. As far as conventional builds go this one was pretty difficult, but difficult in a good way. Really made me use all available tools and tactics.

The easiest build is probably tincan tank + assault rifles, though it's probably not very fun.

Good enough to at least to see its implementation of crafting and stealth. Haven't seen it done better in any other RPG.

[Fogman]

Is the new DLC actually worth it in terms of new content when you have many hours played? Is it more or less a few weapons, a few perks, and retroactively changing encounters and nothing more? Read it adds an area with some late game enemies. Is it just a zone for combat and testing your mettle (and build), or does it have some meat in terms of story and quests?

It's exactly what you wrote. Nothing of much importance. Just some mediocre weapons and a ridiculously hard new sub-area.

it's a fake game for buildfag autists

[Rand]

It's a real game.

The rest of Rusty's comment is objectively correct.

Yes it is worth playing, one of the best RPG's ever made, easily.

Tell me more.

This reminds me of all the times Infinitron rated my posts as ****. I feel personally attacked.

I'm now mulling over whether to get Heavy Duty and finally complete my pure PSI, lorefag playthrough before trying the Jin-Roh LARP or do the OSRS league....
I'm so ******* burned out on OSRS I really can't play it for at least a year. Am I really ******* dumb enough to continue burning myself out for league rewards that are purely cosmetic and don't progress the account in any way... God I hate the English.
Anywho, I told you miniguns would ******* suck.

Several are stupid magical abilities.
Firing a gun heals you? Whatever...

Discord ******** over on /vrpg/ are swaying me to their side in regards to TM usage. It is brokenly overpowered. It does change the way buildfaggotry works in Underrail. There is absolutely no reason not to spec into TM regardless of the build you're going for. If you don't spec into it, the build just ends up being automatically worse. Does that mean I'll stop using it? **** no. But I do think Styg is actually afraid of nerfing it further and the chaos that will ensue.
Nerf it again Stygger.

Infusion update
https://stygiansoftware.com/infusion/de ... anics.html
I get the sense that 50% of Underrail autismos will really love this, while the other 50% will absolutely hate it.

In Infusion we're going to have a lot more gear slots, mainly from separating body armor and helmets into multiple component slots. This will provide the player with a lot more damage resistance sources. But unlike in the old system, these resistances will not stack. Instead, they will all interact with any given attack separately. So whenever you're struck somewhere on the body, the game will check what armor covers that spot, and it will interact with that armor piece. If there are multiple pieces, it will go through each of them separately, from the outer toward the inner. E.g. you might have some minor resistances on the overcoat that will interact with an incoming bullet or a stab before your torso armor.

Great, excellent, love it.

For now, I have no intention to allow the player to choose which part of the target's body they're attacking (Fallout style), but there will be different special attacks / stances that will influence this (e.g. decapitate). Also, elevation and size of attacker and the target will also play a role here. So, for example, attacking someone from an elevated position will give you a better chance to hit them in the head and worse (if any) chance to hit their feet.

God ******* **** it Styg, you're already at the well, just pull the bucket and drink the water instead of going out into the desert to look for an oasis.
This man is starting to **** me the **** off.

I swear on me mum, I'll join his ****** little gay ops discord and I'll scream until he relents in his... questionable design decision.

9 con, 3 agi, 3 dex tincans ******* suck dicks.
I really don't know why I thought it'd be a good idea to start one... oh right

I'm gonna do le Jin-Roh RP.

******* idiot.

Weird how he's trying to make combat more simulationist while keeping one of the most important parts simplistic with special attacks/stances, which often end up being cartoonish and boring

[Agesilaus]

tactics RPGs should have companions, action RPGs shouldn't

There shouldn't be action RPGs.

Agree, games shouldn't have ******** like stats, c&c, builds or dialog trees.

[Lich]

Styg should add nested pockets to the game while he's at it. This could bring the game to the next level.

I love me some inventory autism. If he makes it grid based I'm sending him 20kg of pork and 2 crates of beer.
