Mods will eventually bring it if BGS doesn't. But being patient is not a fun pastime.

Those are good choices. If only the game had transmog.

BGS seems to have some kinda weird "arms-length" relationship with the modding community. Like, they know who the SFSE guys are, but they never coordinate patch releases with them so that they aren't mad-rushing to modify the extender to keep everyone's modded games from crashing. I dunno - maybe there are some sort of legal ramifications at work here. Like, if they help the modders, they become responsible for what gets modded. Or something. I'm just speculating.

It's kinda funny though. Here we are playing one of BGS's least buggy releases in history, and now it's just looking like they swept all the code debt under the carpet and plan on fixing it all "next year".

Strictly from an RP POV, the costs are too high. The first time you go through, everyone is excited to see what will happen. Once you've done it, though, you realize that you lose everything you built, including your relationships. If you got married, you end up leaving your spouse in some other universe. You essentially have to act like The Hunter to do that over and over, just to power up and see what happens next. It's something The Pilgrim figures out and tries to warn you about.

As a player, it's cool to get more and more OP, but if I play like that, I grow less and less attached to my toon and end up logging off. And, really, you don't need the power upgrades to become OP. I do get, however, that this is exactly how some people like to play and it's good that they have options too. Even if they're psychopaths. :-)

I dunno. I also had exactly one healing pack when I lifted off. I'm not sure if more up-close-and-personal combat would have been the answer, here.

Yes, once. That taught me that anyone who does NG+ more than once per playthrough is a psychopath.

Rough guess, 75 & 135. First run to figure out how to play to the game. Second run to figure out how I want to play the game.

I feel like maybe there's a lesson in here, somewhere.

I'm a bit of a role player so I can't really see my toon doing ng+ more than once. Losing everyone close to you (and everything you've built) seems a steep price for more power when you are already pretty powerful. The Pilgrim explicitly makes you admit it before telling you where to look for the Unity.

They might if it's not really about the crime. They may turn on him simply because they think he's becoming a liability.

No worries. This will not go on your permanent record.

The Iron Curtain has been rebuilt. This time, from the outside

That's so 7 years ago.
