    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    That goes without saying...by that point if you don't have lasers you're in SERIOUS trouble. Just figuring out strageies...cause if I can save money and alloys for something else by arming my soldiers with EXALT laser weaponry I will.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Also...has anyone played far enough into the game to have fought EXALT with laser weaponry? Cause I'm trying to figure out if getting lasers yourself makes it so that EXALT gets them or if you could, theoretically, steal lasers from them without ever getting your own.

    Mimetic skin is damn near OP in my opinion...especially if you put it on a Sniper with the "half cover is full cover" upgrade (whichever that one is) Because then you have an effectively invisible sniper. And yes, Chitin plating prevents choking.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I actually did something similar...my character's a former Marine, therefor meaning he's passable in just about any of the four classes (cause that's how the Marine Corps works), and I can have him change based on what gets assigned after his first promotion.

    You've got time. Season 4 won't be starting for quite some time, judging by where Chris is in the LP.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Might even wanna skip THAT...season 3's over. Your best bet would be Season 4 (what I assume to be the upcoming replay of Enemy Within once he finishes with his currently playthrough), and even then what seems to be the best, from my view and my experience as an RPer on other forums, is to make...

    You could have it be just a regular accident if you wanted to keep the missing arms and legs (which I don't suggest).

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I'm honestly not even going to try for a squad-member character...I wanna play either one of the pilots like Gahlo did with Voodoo 37, or (my personal preference for some STRANGE reason) whatever poor guy has the job of flying the Skyranger. Because, really...whoever that guy is, he was part of...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    To be honest I have to second this...I'm actually biting my nails that I might get a chance to RP this time round (Even if I never see battle it looks like the threads that happen on here are just as/if not more awesome)... And of course the whole gene mod/mec troopers...nuff said.

    Gotta say I'm liking Enemy Within so far...the designers really did an impressive job.

    The irony being that, as of episode 2, Beagle Rush is actually a soldier IN the squad...so I would assume that Chris has actually looked into at least some of his videos...(probably a lot judging by his comments...)
