[OOC] Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

[Lennon79]

So at this point I'd like people to start taking charge of the story a little more. We've got a segment here where nothing major will be happening for a while, so it's time for characters to socialise. Split up, talk to squad members and stuff. If anyone is unsure of what to do or who to have their character talk to, give me a PM and we can think about collabs. Once we've had a good freeform character building sesh, then it's back to shooting bad guys.

Also if anyone wants to make another character or a new person wants to join, now is the ideal time.
You all also need to get BF4 on PC so I can take your dogtags.

b-but... Fallout 4...

[Lennon79]

As much as I love Fallout 4, you can't have epic tank duels against deathclaws.

>implying the new power armor isn't tank-like

[Lennon79]

>implying that free power armour and a minigun at lvl 1 isn't OP af

[Slypheed]

Cause it's not. o 3o
Yeah you get power armor early. But do you have the power cores to stay in it forever?
_{Plus, any set you find at low levels is absolute shit anyway}

Anyway. I don't like BF4, because what happened for BF3 was once the DLC started rapidly rolling out, EVERY. SINGLE. SERVER. HAD. IT. and I never had the money to buy the DLCs anyway.

[Lennon79]

I disagree; once I got that damn armour, I never seemed to die. Every shop had cores, the upgrades made it even more OP... I had abandon it in the middle of nowhere to feel like I was playing a Fallout game again.
Good point there. A lot of servers only do classic maps, although you can only play Shanghai so many times before that skyscraper starts to piss you off...

[Slypheed]

What difficulty were you on? The easiest one? o 3o
I forget what difficulty I'm on. But PA for me doesn't do me any better than early armor in the beginning.

[Lennon79]

Not the hardest because being oneshotted is never fun, but I think second hardest? Can't remember offhand >>;
Odd... /shrug. Maybe it's just the way I play. I'm always sniping way waaaaay out of range, so I don't get hit too often.

[Raven_Operative]

I just had a friend give me the game over the holidays (Bless his soul), so I'm going to start playing it the minute it finishes downloading. FORTUNATLY nothing important happens in my courses for the first 1.5 weeks so I've got a bit of spare time.

... So tell me, guys. If I wanna get the 'authentic fallout experience', should I just run off in a random direction immediatly upon start and ignore the main quest?

[Lennon79]

I'd say so. Go south west after you get out of the vault and avoid the storyline for a while. Avoid a place called Concorde until you get a quest that sends you there. Game is much better that way.

Then again, the story is pretty good. You'd be doing yourself a disservice of you didn't try it out.

[Raven_Operative]

... Apparently I am applicant #6275 for an internship I'm trying to get.

I feel like I might be up against some slight competition.
A couple other people seem to be interested in this.

[Lennon79]

Well.
Damn.
They say that healthy competition is good for you.
Apparently.

*yawns*

Mmm, so sleepy lately >x>

[Lennon79]

Not waiting on anyone in particular btw. If anyone wants to post for chilling out, maybe meeting a few NPCs from the other squad or just having a chat, go ahead.

[Zarkun]

Working on a collab right now with Raven.

[CitrusArms]

*flops*

I'm here. I, uh... I got a new graphics card for Christmas.

[Raven_Operative]

ooOOOOOOhhh! What model?

[CitrusArms]

nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

I can run at max AND stream.

[Raven_Operative]

Nice, Nice.

I'm still stuck with one of the old. Radeon 6900 series. Still works, but is in desperate need of an upgrade. I'll probably do something about that this summer.
