    It has a -5% penalty but even at almost point blank range my pistol will have 85% while my rifle only has 79-75% for some reason. I think I'm just unlucky. I tried checking the wiki for it since I assumed that it would have the info I need but I found nothing I already didn't know. Oh well.

    It's just that hard, then. I have this feat that improves my chance to hit on incapacitated enemies drastically, and combined with shock bolts (or in your case shock bullets perhaps) and/or flashbangs I'm often able to deal massive amounts of damage to incapacitated enemies. They call me Paralyzer in Arena now. :D

    Hard West... Its has XCOM like gameplay but is more story based.... Short and a bit clunky but I thoroughly enjoyed what I've played of it so far. There's also a fair bit of actions you take having consequences in connected campaigns...

    Repair kits are essential, yes. Learned that the hard way.

    Quite suddenly I got bored with Underrail, though. I'll probably come back to it to finish the game at some point, but for now I've started playing Morrowind again. This time without a bazillion mods but just a few top quality ones.

    I had to start a new build since I hit a wall with my old build so to speak. Went with pickpocketing and I ended up with over 250 rounds of both 8.6 rounds and 7.62 rounds. Able to accomplish much more but I need to find a sniper rifle since I'm playing a sneaky sniper build.

    Put some points in mechanical and electronic. You can make your own sniper rifles with electronic scopes. You don't even have to put that many points down if your intelligence is decent.

    What are the benefits of electronic scopes?

    Uh. Good question. I just assumed they were good. :P
    I haven't encountered that many other scopes in the game so far, so I dunno really.

    Has anyone played the indie game Papers Please yet? It's basically immigration paperwork simulator, but it's a really fun game.

    I would say get it on sale because it doesn't have that much to it, but I feel like this particular dev deserves having his game bought at full price. But do whatchu will. :shrug:

    Oh God, it's far too much like real life for me. It really is fantastic at showing how corruption starts (and could very easily be stopped) in these types of countries. I stopped playing it after a while though; the new rules every day just kept fucking with my head so much!

    Arcanum. Decided to spend some New Year's money and buy Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Arcanum, TES: Morrowind, & UnderRail.

    Beat Wolfenstein on Death Incarnate (Fun but easy since the MP40 was godly during the entire game. Just had to aim at the head & do three round burst; if that failed then I used the FG42.) But overall enjoyed it.

    Just started on Arcanum and liking it a lot. My first play-through is with the wonderful Idiot Savant. Firearms, gun smiting, and herbology are the main focus and are paying off well; despite being a special person. My overall annoyance with the game is mostly that I'm still having graphical problems with it. For the past week I settled with it vanilla then got annoyed by the graphical problems and playing at a steady 15fps. Got the high-res. patch & the unofficial patch, minus the lizard people addition, and it runs silky smooth. Only downside is that the bottom bar does not like refreshing till I hover the cursor over it sadly. A small annoyance but at least the game runs at quickly now.

    I tried UnderRail and noticed I should focus on it entirely with nothing else in my way. Going to do two Arcanum play-through(s) then start on that beauty. I have a feeling it'll take a good chunk of time investment as I'll enjoy it a lot.

    Over all I'm looking for other similar titles. The only future RPG list I have is Age of Decadence but nothing else. Any recommendations? Never really played any of these games, Fallout 1 included, until June of last year. Really missed out.

    Try Planescape Torment, Divinity: Original Sin, Wasteland 2, and Shadowrun: Daggerfall.

    Went back to Valkyria Chronicles after a month of not playing it.... I am rusty as shit and I am right on the last 2 missions, I am scared, I might need to do a couple of Skirmishes before tackling those.

    How'd you like the game? I still have to run back through it and finish it.

    I like it a lot. Has an interesting mix of Turn Based Strategy with real time gameplay, graphics are appealing altho the character style is a bit generic. I hope Valkyria Azure Revolution gets a PC port too.

    Hopefully, I think Valkyria Chronicles was a really nice change of pace from all the FPS and other games that have been coming out. Are there any gems out there that you've played in recent times?

    If you aren't playing Underrail you are bad and should feel bad too.
