I assume the guy in the suit is the commander before the start of xcom 2 (since you rescue yourself? during the tutorial mission) | ||

https://redd.it/6h2ht9 Alien Rulers are getting overhauled for War of the Chosen. They will for example not get a reaction turn when you reload or for stuff happening outside of their LoS | ||

It is what would have happened if humans got over run. | ||

Yes, i know, but at the start of xcom2 it is bradford who rescues commander and as far as i remember at the end of the game commander is still alive and back at the ship. So if the suit guy is really commander it has to be before xcom2? But i dont think it is, we also see scenes with bradford and shen. | ||

Summary of that article: War of the Chosen might as well turn XCOM 2 into XCOM 3, because it changes that many things around. A vanilla campaign will be a bit longer compared to no expansion (but still not as long as Long War 2) | ||

And in end game you will be even more OP due to Hero units and special weapons you get from defeated Chosen. | ||

I hope it becomes like xcom meets civ, which is perfect considering their the same studio | ||

The Reapers use a new form of concealment called Reaper Shadow, which only has a chance of breaking after firing/taking an action. They also have other abilities for stealth gameplay that is certainly interesting as well | ||

 I know that the missions in the Alien Hunters and Shen's Last Gift DLCs will not show up if you use the "Integrated" option in the set-up. One one hand, I understand that getting both The Lost and Abandoned and the DLC missions early would be too much on top of all the new content in WOTC, but on the other hand I am going to miss those, especially "The Lost Towers". Also, the experimental weapons from Alien Hunters is now a Proving Grounds projects after a research, so don't research it before you have a Proving Grounds | ||

Granted this is from a sample size across 5 Legendary ironman games. 1st game: Lost & Abandoned enabled. No chosen on 1st retaliation mission. 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th game: Lost & Abandoned disabled. Chosen on every first retaliation mission. Maybe i should've done 4 more games with Lost & Abandoned enabled. | ||

Now reaching late game, I'm finding the 2 items from vanilla end game I don't want to be without are the same still, mimic beacons and bluescreen rounds. Mob health is getting quite crazy and big mecs with a lot of armor are an absolute fucking pain to deal with without bluescreen rounds. Gonna have to drop mimic beacons for mind shields when killing the warlock, mine rolled Meclord as first trained ability, so it summons bluescreen fodder. Melee units seem to fare much better than what I'm used to (too much LW2 with insane pod sizes). The few wounds they take during missions charging in heal in about the same time the backline dudes recover from tiredness. I've had good use out of rangers and the templar. Pumping inspires and a teamwork action into the templar basicly 1 rounded the assassin when I killed her in the stronghold. | ||
