Or maybe mod Enemy Inkown so all thinmen look like Thomas!

You're thinking of the Councilman, the speaker is the slightly-better-disguised Thinman working for Advent.  Hence that name

Deeeeeeeerp yeah I want to kill that fucker, the speaker is an asshole.

What's especially odd is that he

keeps on talking to you in the final mission even though in a previous cutscene he was implied to have been stomped to death by an angry crowd.  The obvious explanation is that they recorded that dialogue before the cutscene was finalized.  But in-game?  Either there are multiple clones of this guy, he somehow survived, or the ethereals are engaging in some trickery.

I mean, you'd imagine Xcom would have assassinated him early on. Im pretty sure the aliens have back up copies for if he got killed in an accident or something similarly morale depressing. Whether he's dead or not, i want to personally kill him.
Edit: look at this shmuck. He's literally begging for a bullet to the overly-perfect face.

The less fortunate yet likely conclusion is that he used his thin-men jumping and doging skills to get out of the way and then poison clouded everyone

I decided to rush magnetic weapons + plated armor on this run. Such a huge, huge difference. One of my guys got punched in the face by a Muton and fell unconscious. I really like how they put in small things like that instead of making it completely HP based.

But the advent seem to have upgraded their armor at the exact same time. Now everyone is advanced... Advanced troopers, advanced officers.

Seems a bit weird since before this I never faced those guys, while I was delaying the armor research. I even got up to the Muton Berserkers point before this, but aren't facing Berserkers now.

A little off-topic-ish in a way but i started a new TV series lately called colony... and i clearly see pre-xcom2 vibe in it as there is a new alien race that took over a few key cities ( ok its not global but just bare with me ) and most governement is trying to brainwash citizens ala advent. It shows what life in a resistance cell in XCom coul have been and so far i am really enjoying it. There is a lot of similitude between both the game and the serie.

I was told to watch that by a customer at work maybe...six hours ago. I was skeptical because she also thought this season of The Walking Dead was good. But I trust b12. I'd trust you guys to raise my babies.

That's how you get psychopath trained-to-kill babies, though.

Haha, I was about to post the same link.

My statement stands.

If mermaid bone farming and infant danger rooms can't deter me, nothing can!

"I have all colonels, one of which is a Magus with all abilities, all in W.A.R suits, this alien facility assault to stop the AVATAR Project timer should be easy!"
