Long War randomizes the soldiers' stats automatically I think, but it adds two subtleties to make this aspect better: 1) Mobility and hit points are also randomized. So aim is not the only important thing, a soldier with bad aim may have better mobility or endurance than others. 2) A lot of...

One of the main feature of Long War is that it prevents the player from using the same leading squad over and over, while providing much more missions. As long as your soldier is in the barracks (which starts with twice as much soldiers as vanilla), they would have to get killed by basic...

Well, it's to be expected with the lack of plan for a new season, but it is also due to a lot of people having troubles accessing this forum recently (this problem has been reported on Sarge's forum).

... how does taking an item that can prevent your soldiers from dying makes little tactical sense?

There can never be enough XCOM roleplay in my opinion :D But how would your thing plays out exactly? Give us more details.

Why not? Personal experience is usually described as a good fuel for fiction. Of course, you have to be able to sort things out correctly, but that's kind of a necessary skill for a writer anyway. Personal experience may even be necessary for the writing of certain types of characters (people...

That's basically what I was going to suggest too. Two episodes per week, and if possible without other XCOM series going on at the same time. Especially if Chris does use the Long War Mod, since it makes everything... longer. I live in France and I probably have a big time difference with most...

Gah, but I haven't finish planning my new character yet! :eek: (Oh well, I have the basics, I will improvise the rest xP) On the bright side of things, there's still some uncharted territory in terms of EW roleplay for next season, like with poor late-to-the-party Exalt :D

This may sound self-centered but I think the major factor of the recent doom was Rebecca's death. In EW, it takes a lot of EXP to get your soldiers to the corporal rank, with which they start to gain their really powerful abilities. So focusing on a single team in the beginning actually makes...

*shrugs* Suit yourself, but I just don't get it. The point of roleplaying is that you only need to bother about your one and only character. All matters of setting and context is provided to you by GMs and other players, so you can freely spend all your time, efforts and fun developing that one...

Well, at least, no need to wonder what happen of the bodies this time :D

As a roleplayer, that's something you shouldn't be ever saying about your character. o_O And that still doesn't prevent you from having him do other stuff anyway.

I'm working on my next character right now, who happens to be a scientist, and not only does she work in a specialized field, but I also know she is not going to be interested by everything that goes on in the lab even if she is going to help. Thus, since I already know what she will not be...

I don't think the one-post limit per week is to blame, actually I even think it worked pretty well to give everybody a chance to insert their characters in the overall narrative (by not having it go too fast). The problem came from combining it with the restriction of allowing only the In-Game...

Yeah, I get your point. Maybe I should have detailed this part a bit more, to make it clear what inspired what exactly, and what is purely original in the character (basically almost everything related to Rebecca's reasonable side of her personality, and of course even her insanity is molded the...

And here is finally the bonus I have been talking about \o/ The Behind-the-scene of writing Rebecca Robinson (<- this is a link) A lot of readings for you if you want to know about all the work that went into creating and developing this character. Of course, it spoils heavily and explain...

Jeanne Robinson’s diary When it became clear that the war was lost, it’s Rebecca who saved us. She knew the location of the secret bunker the remaining high officers would gather to hide while they prepared their own escape. When we went there ourselves and they saw Rebby, they were delighted...

This remind me that the other day I actually listed the people whose character are on the active list of soldiers but only posted once or twice before stopping altogether. I'm not going to give the list here right now because the point is not to bash anybody, but they are 3. Here is the...

I intend to mention what will happen of Rebecca's body in my final journal (more or less what has been suggested, the important thing is just that she has no relative left to reclaim the body).

You guys have just been spouting random answers, that was not the point of that little game. Rebecca's character is all about suggestions and I wanted to see if anyone had picked up on her most subtle characteristic. The answer appears to be "no".
