Underrail: The Incline Awakens

epeli Will anything be done about the house and the long walk/loading screens needed to get to it?

Something like a 5k charon butler who waits for you at the rail stations would be great, especially since the junkyard surprise nerf will mean more visits to the crafting benches.

Indeed Styg , the option to create a shortcut straight from the entrance of vault city to your house would be a great quality of life improvement.

Been ages since I last played but these updates are getting me hot. Is the old stealth, 'bow and trap build still reliable?

I played one this year and there haven't been any nerfs to xbows or traps since then, so I'm pretty sure it is.
Just make sure you have a good Cyclon for Tchort if you don't plan on doing the mutagen puzzle, because trying to snipe him quickly doesn't seem to work anymore, you'll need a good burst of elemental bolt criticals to take him out before the tentacles just whittle you down. (talking about Hard)

Its even better since the release one of the patches added bowyer perk.

At one point in alpha, NPC level was also shown on their portrait. IIRC Styg removed that because it didn't reflect power of the NPCs very accurately, but I always thought it was a good way to estimate their overall power level. Imagine being level 10, going into Rail Crossing for the first time and seeing level 20 faceless group... you knew shit was about to get serious.

I prefer it a way Elex did it - less numbers, because such purely abstract thing as level is too gamey for my taste.

and replayability just got a whole lot better with hundreds of random events

can you write some of them in the wiki so we can get some idea what to expect?

Play the game and find out! Styg chose not to elaborate much on their mechanics and content, so I'll stick to that for now. Also, best random events are the ones you don't even realize are random events. Will eventually add something about them to the wiki. Still undecided how detailed it's going to be.

I have walked the entirety of Lower Underrail to fill the map and I don't think I've met one of theses events. But what are those anyway ? Special encounters ? New NPCs ? This is really intriguing.

The update couldn't have come at a better time. I saved right before I talked to newton.

Underrail is for like 5 euro on gog!. The price is just too good for such a majestic game.

This. But on principle, the game should load the connecting areas to anticipate loading screens.

Pope Amole II i will try your build,though is this for dominating?

Dominating is shit, why would you ever wish to play it?

 

[razvedchiki]

well hard is somewhat easy after a point,but i agree dominating currently is unfun as it invalides most of the builds and makes even simple fights with rathounds a chore.

 

[Lhynn]

Dominating is bad because no thought or effort was put into it. It was more styg just saying "here fuckwads, if the game was too easy choke on this".

 

[ghostdog]

Hasn't styg revamped difficulty levels with the latest patch?

 

[epeli]

Hasn't styg revamped difficulty levels with the latest patch?

Yes, all four of them got the same attention. I recommend the new Hard if you were previously playing on that difficulty and found it became too easy from mid-game onwards. That's gotten better. Same also applies to Normal. Easy probably got even easier than it was.

DOMINATING isn't for everyone, but from what I've seen the hardcore players are absolutely loving it. Already saw someone complete it yesterday.

Well that is only halfway true. A lot of thought and effort probably went into making fuckwads miserable.

 

[Ent]

I just realized that I may have over invested in mechanics for my current build. Whats a good level to keep it at if you just want to get some infused leather stuff later in the game and not much more?

Mechanics i guess would be something like 3/4 of tailoring, and in my last game i needed 151 tailoring for 158 quality supersteel and 67 quality siphoner skin.

Completing is not the problem. Fun is. Being forced to spam bear traps and molotov cocktails is hardly something I want to do on all my builds.

Pope Amole II i will try your build,though is this for dominating?

Just seeing this: Yes you need Kneecap shot. Yes you need caltrops and bear traps. You could even consider spending a few points into traps so you can use basic poisoned bear traps.

Also Uncanny Dodge is vital and should be gotten at level 6 or 8 seeing how you fall to melee regularly. Evasive Maneuvers can be gotten as well which has great synergy with Sprint in situations where you cannot get around a corner.

I think that this might work better:

At the moment only to tell Styg that it is "shit".

 

[Daedalos]

Is he using a speed hack or what? Does it fuck with the game?

 

[Jack Dandy]

I used a speed Hack via Cheat Engine and it never gave me any trouble.

 

[ciox]

I think speedhack can make combat hang indefinitely sometimes if you fuck with the speeds too much, but it's a rare occurence.

 

[baturinsky]

Why the fuck Underrail does not have integrated speedhack? Even Baldur's Gate had it.

 

[razvedchiki]

underrail speedhack is like getting an ssd for the pc,once you try it you cant go back

i use it mainly to make shops restock faster when i need some crafting stuff.

Yeah, that's a decent perk distribution. I'd still argue in favor of per 13/int 13 and I think sure step is better than hypertoxicity - I dunno, I don't see caltrops as being viable without it. And you can't really wear metal boots.
