I think my most powerful is the guy I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Shaun 'Odin' Gardner the psychic sniper heavy While his abilities aren't too zany as far as training roulette goes, it made him pretty well rounded, since he has executioner, opportunist, suppression, danger zone...

Well in that case I definitely support Odd's use of this in the RP whole heartedly.

I agree, the addition of the mod sounds like a really cool factor. Although, that being said, the constant stream of missions could be both a boon and a negative from both a gameplay and RP standpoint. Gameplay wise, the fact you do need to get as many soldiers out as possible could be good for...

I think I must agree with Zain, even though being a scientist or engineer would most likely ensure one's long term survival as well as ensure plenty of material to write about, being a soldier and even having the chance to take an active role in the RP outweighs the potential frustration of not...

You know, sometimes Xcom is one of those games that just makes you want to uninstall it and never play it again due to some utter bollocks the RNG throws your way. But then, sometimes stuff like what I've had in my current playthrough happens. I have found what may be the best soldier I've...

I understand what you're saying, and I know that you tempered your position by separating basing characters off people you know, and simply inserting an idealized version of yourself or somebody you know, but I still have to disagree that one ought to avoid it. For example, my character bio for...

He said in the video that he was unsure when he'd get around to doing season 5, but would keep us all updated.

Well, if you do choose to play as a Somalian pirate, I plan on applying as an Afrikaner who conducted several black ops in Somalia (and other places) for the Apartheid regime, and later the modern South African government. Think it'd be kind of cool to have two (or more) African characters in...

In the words of JC Denton: "What a shame"

I too can't wait for season 5, I'm ready to throw my hat back in the ring and hopefully get in. Although, while I mean to try again with something more true to my original concept (what I posted for my season 4 application was a pretty badly watered down version) I'm just hoping it doesn't come...

I agree, if Odd can manage to swing a victory without taking huge casualties it might just give him enough space to get everyone armored and armed to the point where they won't get fucked by anything larger than a floater.

RIP in Pieces, XCOM. Love, Chryssalids

I would actually watch a show like that, if only to see the vapid, soulless characters get their spines pulled out their rectums by a berserker.

Cue corny one-liner and canned laughter.

On the flip side, one could be downright enthused with their new transhuman nature. Just as being made to develop a second heart or tumorous adrenal glands could be horrifying and traumatic, it could be pretty darn exhilerating too. A particularly extreme route could be a gene modded or MEC...
