Let's Play... XCOM 2 (War of the Chosen)!

[DjchunKfunK]

Sign me up for the next suicide mission.

[Jez]

Love it mate. Makes me want to play it

[Sly Boots]

Thanks for the comments and sign-ups guys

Great, should allow us to build a pretty nice squad allowing for a bit of rotation, and hopefully it won't be too long before we're up to a five and then six-man squad.

Sorry Raid if that was a bit weird, it just had a nice cadence with your user name and I don't know your irl name. I can change it to something else if you like.

Also, I've deleted the existing biographies for the squaddies I overwrote, so if you guys want me to add in a bio for you just post it here or PM it and I'll input them.

[Raid]

Heh, it doesn't actually bother me, but Byron or Barry keep a similar cadence. You could just pretend the Commander misheard.

I never played the new X-coms but i still dabble in the old school version every once in awhile.

[Maturin]

That was a good read Sly.

I keep meaning to pick this up dirt cheap - I played the first new XCOM, but then I discovered Xenonauts, which I adored, and I kinda never got round to trying XCOM2.

[Sly Boots]

Thanks man. Do you fancy joining the squad?

XCOM 2 is heaps, heaps better than the first game, which is still good. It can be had dirt cheap now I think, or will likely be so in the winter Steam sale.

In any case, second entry!

Unfortunately this came before I was able to get Mantis and Dj into the mix, but hopefully for the subsequent one. Also I totally forgot to change you name, Raid, but will do so before the next mission.

Enjoy!

I totally would have asked for Dorn's autograph. In fact I'm surprised I managed to concentrate on once again getting the highest kill count at all given that there are no fewer than five TNG actors in WotC. They've all done voice work before, so it wasn't just a reunion from the fans who worked on the game, and they're all actually pretty good at it.

And while I don't think I ever went with the full swordsman loadout for my rangers, bladestorm is I think one of my favourite abilities in the game. Concealment's good, but it always felt a little lacklustre when using the game's default mission timers that don't really give you a lot of time to muck about reentering concealment. I suspect it'll be more useful with the timer mod.

Welcome to TGA matey, are you an old Preys Worlder in disguise or a genuine new member?

[Snowy]

And blimey, I lived! Probably just Murray Walker'd myself by saying it, but it's said

[Raid]

Anything can happen in XCom, and it usually does!

Piece of cake

I will admit to a bit of a heart in mouth moment though when she hit you with her wavestorm attack. I'm pretty sure that should damage hp as well, think (but am not sure) it was scripted to happen to whoever revived the downed guy, but whatever it was it was a bit of a let-off.

[Mantis]

Dibs on the sniper rifle.

[Sly Boots]

Done!

I've got a short update to upload this evening sometime, covering some amusing inter-mission stuff. And you're looking pretty spiffy in your chosen colour scheme, if you don't mind me saying, Mantis
