Thank you
Thats odd... Every time I level in the normally patched version, I see a sign over party members' heads saying they leveled. Sometimes its a joke about pointless stats. Its always in a cream colored font. I don't remember it happening only once in a while, but a lot more often than that. I don't even know of a way to find out if they've actually leveled. Its not like it says it anywhere... which I alway thought was ANNOYING!
And geeze... why would anyone want them to take so long to level up? If I get to 99 they'll only be between 1/3 and 1/2 my levell.. I don't like that. I want to train an elite team of @ss kickers. The last thing I want to do is spend hours of a game baby sitting, protecting, and patching up a bunch of panzies in every battle. I want team members I can count on not to get their @ss shot off every time they get into a scrape, and not have to worry about who's going to blow a hole in them in the next battle. You know what I mean?
Most of the time I feel like I'm spending more time protecting them than enjoying the battle. I tried to see what would happen if I didn't and they got mutilated in the first turns.
Most of their present fighting skills are crap. Marcus has acumulated over 100 grenades, cause he never uses them... even though he says he does. I keep giving them to him, every type I can find... and he never uses them. It would be nice to see him using them once in a while. You know, draw them in long range with the Turbo Plasma rifle, get them mid range with a few grenades, then finish them of at close range with a minigun. None of them have the sense to switch weapons based on range and that @ss tribal character who uses SMG's just indiscriminantly fires at enemies on the other side of our group, spraying all of us with bullets. I blew him up, reloaded and took away his P90.
You know... it would be nice to be able to recruit someone with some medic skills too. (similar to player medic skills and perks)
I really wish someone would do something with the party fighting skills and add a medic.... somehow. Would make the game a lot more fun and interesting. Maybe beef up the opposition as well with harsher enemies since you'd have better party members.
Eh... sorry for rambling. I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing what mods people want instead of people who can actually make them. Sorry, but I can't help with that. I used to help with BZ and BZ2 mods and maps, but those were just simple ODF text files and extremely easy 3D map maker editors. Very easy to mod those games.
