Descended into the Elven Halls since my Centaur Hunter was running low on arrows, and Fungus God certainly wasn't providing any. Fought my way down to the very bottom where I started fighting the really high end elves, kiting like a mother. Unfortunately, a Demonologist surrounded me with, er, demons, and while I was trying to punch my way out of that mess the Elven Blademaster got into melee and did what Blademasters do best.

Ah, Chryssalids. Your reboot version just can't compare to the original for sheer Terror.

Wh do you have a heavy laser? They're one of the worst weapons in the game.

Unless you've modded the game to make them useful.

Or unless you haven't studied the UFOpedia long enough to know which weapons are awesome and which are dead-weight.  ;)

I thought it was a mandatory part of the XCOM experience to at least once research the heavy laser, equip it on key troopers, send them into battle and go "Why the hell can this guy barely move? And where's the auto-shot?"

I for one believe that people are unnecessarily min-maxing munchkins when they trash talk heavy lasers and/or mod them to be better.

I didn't die, but apparently I botched some choice and Carley got shot in the head. I liked Carley. I might break my "no rewinds" rule to resurrect her.

You can try, but in my case rewinding felt cheap. I stuck with my choices.

You've obviously never fought suboptimal players before. What we lose in minor bonuses and gimmicks, we make up for in attachment to our characters, who are actually people to us, not a compilation of stats and munchkining. :P

Like for example, take Fire Emblem. A power-gamer would likely look up the various support charts and effects to get the most uber-l33t team he can possibly get, and damn what happens to the characters involved.

A guy like me does supports based on personal preference for the various relationships that can form.
