    Wouldn't know because Jordan Bulls teams never played like this during their nineties run. Natch. The problem with Lebron isn't really anything on the court aside from the fact that these Cavs teams have to play ISO ball with him (also see Harden and the Rockets), but rather that he is playing...

    If they stick with their shadowrun model it will probably be new full campaigns as opposed to standard dlc.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Regardless it shouldn't be face roll easy on PoTD mode. Consumables or CC usage should still be required. I've watched a couple streams where the player is just mid game right clicking through every encounter with no prep.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    The original PoE from what I understand wasn't really all that great until after a couple of patches and white marches was added. I figured number 2 would be similar especially reading about the difficulty level. A lot of CRPGs have had this problem lately though. Both Divinity's were much...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    The Devs came out and said that this one is flat out easier then the first especially PoTD mode. They also said that they will be massively tuning up PoTD and might tune up hard but aren't sure about the latter. It was a conscious decision to release the game undertuned for whatever reason and...

    Not a bug actually. Not having the rep means they won't pay for your transit and that is about it. So you have to just go there on your own coin and accept in person so to speak.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Only got like three hours in to the first one (got distracted by some other games and never came back to it). Is this one of those need to play the first because a whole bunch of choices carry over in to the second things?

    If I want full salvage i just leave the mech for last and punch it for knockdown, then let it stand up and punch it again. All my maps end in Mech boxing.

    No, you would get the bonuses for max money too. Thing is that the salvage slider just doesn't effect how much you can chose but the total amount. So your average mission would look like; average pay with 2/7 salvage. Maxed would be whatever pay plus 3/12. Assuming rng doesn't fuck you with 82...

    I've been doing main missions when I want expensive Argo upgrades for that reason. Even merc missions have some pretty good boosts from optional objectives. I had an escort mission where you had to protect a VIP in one of four APCs. After going 4/X salvage the mission payout was 67k. However I...

    I think max salvage is the way to go regardless. One heavy mech and your even with the average payout for a mission cash wise. A second mech and your ahead of the max money payout (usually) not counting the actual reward money or other parts you sell off. I've had a good chunk of missions where...

    Battletech

    Yeah. Money issues stop being a problem when you regularly see heavy mechs on your missions. Assuming you don't get your whole lance in the repair bay then you should salvage at least one heavy a mission and you can do two to three missions a pay cycle depending on travel. So base pay if you go...

    For medium/light mech lances you should strip all equipment and hit the max armor button. Then pick two bruiser style mechs (centurions/Grffins/Shadowhawks work well for this) and slap on as many srm6 and medium lasers as you can. Turn one light mech in to a sensor lock bitch so it doesn't...

    I do think that HBS has to tweak stability damage and what can cause it in some fashion. By far the most efficient approach is to run two LRM boats (one of which should carry a ppc or guass for sniping) and two bruisers that pretty much only run SRM6 and AC20. This is of course at higher weight...

    Haven't seen one yet but then again I haven't done the next story mission. I do think the gauss is probably worth more then the mech TBH. Its stability damage and just straight damage makes for either easier take downs on leg shots or dissecting a mech for salvage on called shots.

    Yah I got a battlemaster from there too. After running some more missions I think I'm going to designate two of the highlanders as training mechs and run easier missions with low level pilots in them. Helps to make up for the shit aim and stability the pilots have. I wanted some difficulty in...

    I think I got put on the path to easy mode. Just did the mission where they reward you with a lostech highlander and then the very next merc mission spawned two of them. I got full salvage on both so I went from a two heavy two medium lance to a three assault one heavy lance in two missions. On...

    For the people talking abut skull ratings. Those can actually in some cases be deceiving and are meant to be by design. To gauge the actual difficulty (and what tonnage mechs you may be engaging} you have to combine the skull rating plus client intel with what darius says. His blurb isn't just...

    Its really just what you want your individual mechwarriors to be good at. For your heavy bruiser setup you're going to probably want max guts/piloting then gunnery because you really aren't making called shots with 4 srm launcher and 2 ML alphas. You're just going to walk up and demolish the...

    Yes torso twist is part of your movement allowance but I'm not sure how much it is worth. For instance you can move 1-3 hexes away and then fully face your mech in the direction you came from. However you can't use a full move and then turn around, the best you can get is presenting your left or...

    Yah any brawler you plan on running in the thick of fights should be rocking as many SRM's and medium lasers as you can fit. They just shred in that medium to short range firefight. I have a wolverine that regularly destroys heavy mechs with its three SRM 6++ and one ML+. Heavier weapons are...

    LIke in table top DFA is really only something you use as a last resort. I had all of the rear and torso armor blown of one of my locusts and they were sperated from the main fight. The single small laser shot wasn't putting the enemy mech down that turn so I DFA'd which did destroy one of my...

    Ideal load out at least early on with medium and intro heavy's seems to be max armor and as many medium lasers and SRMs you can load on to your mech for your whole lance. Makes you super tanky and you can pretty much just alpha strike down every opposing unit on every turn. I'm pretty sure the...
