![]() ![]() ![]() Meeting the Skirmishers involves a rescue mission, instead of just getting one for free Assassin starting chosen with guaranteed Shadowstep You can't build the Resistance Ring in the first month Aside from not starting with a Squaddie faction soldier, if you had all the tutorial bits enabled (i.e. When I got one after completing the first Guerilla Op, I finally saw the empty room and I was like, what the heck, game, I could have started building already?!įunnily enough, War of the Chosen amplifies the tutorial-as-early-game-challenge mode thing. I was absolutely expecting to need an engineer before I got to start excavating and building, and didn't even look into the rooms before I got the first engineer. I absolutely got caught out by this when I first did a non-tutorial run. It's a bit odd, and has me wondering whether that's just a fundamental choice to have the Tutorial be weird on this topic (To justify you not interacting with Excavation and construction until the Tutorial wants to instruct you) or if at some point the Avenger having a pre-cleared room wasn't the default start state. After this mission, you get railroaded into your standard first Guerrilla Op -the one that always gives you an Engineer and isn't connected to a Dark Event and so on- and get tutorialized on Excavation mechanics. > Fourth, enabling the Tutorial actually has the Avenger start out with no cleared rooms. Probably the one consolation prize to having it enabled, though you can always get one at random from Distraction Gatecrasher. One random bit regarding the tutorial that I didn't see mentioned - there's scripted timed loot drop on it (though I don't know if the actual items are random or not) and you actually get it when you arrive on the Avenger. (Unless you don't mind the challenge and/or are wanting to rewatch the Tutorial-exclusive cinema bits, anyway)įirst of all, glad to see you back! I hope you've had a good rest this past month or so. It's something of a subtle mercy that Legendary doesn't let you inflict the Tutorial on yourself, honestly, and if it weren't for how Rookie and Regular are so effortless I'd be recommending against turning the Tutorial on at all -as is, I recommend you do it once on Rookie or Regular difficulty and never again. (Non-Tutorial Gatecrasher) This is actually something of a trend with the Tutorial in general, honestly, where it actually makes the very beginning of the game overall harder than normal, which is particularly striking given the early game tends to be pretty rough already due to your limited options and so on. This rude intro is particularly egregious in War of the Chosen, where if you don't enable Lost And Abandoned you'll start with a Squaddie Resistance faction soldier, but even in the base game this is a pretty noticeable spike in difficulty compared to the non-Tutorial mission it's the meaningful counterpart to.
