Let's Play Jagged Alliance 2! (Redux)

Ooooo...a JA 2 LP...Interesting. Do tell me if a slot opens. I LUV this game.

You know, you can make a sheet now. I'll put you on the waiting list. :)

I tried this game again on experienced with guns damage at 150%

It was... Extremely hard. I had to put the damage to 125% and go on novice as usually. The thing is I suck at night operations because my guys always walk in single file and by the time one enters combat he is spotted before every one is in position and every one gets turned into Swiss cheese.

Drop all always appealed to my OCD.

Might as well throw my hat in the ring...

• Name
  • Brock/Nadia Carter
• Callsign
  • Roxas
• Personality
  • Intellectual (what does this one do?)
• Disability
  • Nonswimmer; how bad is this?
• Major Traits
  • Master Hunter
• Minor Traits
  • Scouting
• Skills
  • No zero skills. Wisdom a priority. Marksmanship and Agility should be high.
• Background
  • After losing his/her job, home, and savings during the recession, Roxas decided the logical course of action was to put their hunting and shooting hobby to profitable use and become a mercenary. Mercenary for Dummies proved quite informative.
    • Being a Great White Hunter can be quite expensive, especially in this day and age. Hunter, Explorer, Ranger, Tour Guide, Amateur Archaeologist; All jobs that dried up when recession hit. Well, you've got to find a way to pay the bills, and somehow, Mercenary seemed like a totally reasonable career choice. After all, no matter the economy, as long as there's two people in the world, someone's going to want someone dead.

Edit: Added a bit more backstory. Appearance depends on who dies, so I'm basically stealing someone's face.

Okay, how's that look? I feel like it should be longer, but...

• Too bad I only get one minor trait, Scouting and Stealth would both seem to be handy.

Heh, wonder when we're going to hit Chitzena? It is an archaeological site.

Urgh, I kinda want to download this version, it sounds awesome, but I've got this unreasonable phobia of file hosting sites.

<Charlatan> O hay, could you please tell the Jagged Alliance 2 liveblog thread I'll be out of the fora until the 18th of December or so?

No! Bigger C!

He will be missed.

That's okay. It'll still be here when he returns.

I'll take screenshots later today. Dunno if I'll be able to get the update up as well.

@Rock: Intellectual makes you better at learning things and performing actions like repairing, I believe.

Makes you less brave though IIRC.

Nonswimmer just imposes an AP penalty I think, doesn't actually make you drown. at least, Barry had this when I last used him.

Really? 'Cause in JA 1, nonswimming mercs would drown as soon as they stepped into deep water.

Ah, no. If I remember correctly, non-swimmer mercs in JA 2 have a penalty when crossing water that's about waist-high and refuse to go in deep water.

Well, if we ever get a non-swimmer we'll just need to avoid deep water!

Sorry for keeping you waiting, folks. The screenshots have been taken, I'll be posting the update tomorrow.
