Underrail: Infusion pre-release megathread

[Jacov]

Looks better and better

 

[Abu Antar]

No floating sledgehammers.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'm so stoked

 

[Cogemesiter]

Shit, why wasn’t this game recommended to me on Steam? I’m gonna look into this.

 

[Andnjord]

Hey guys, been out of the loop for a while since I played this majestic beacon of incline back in 2015. Anything interesting they've been worki....

Holy mother of God...

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, HOT DAMN

Unquestionably.

[CHEMS]

Good, i like rathounds

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Aww it has an idle animation where it scratches itself like a dog. That's a good detail.

 

[CHEMS]

So cute, can't wait to kill it with fire

 

[kyosuke]

Not sure if this is answered elsewhere, will it be possible for players to have robots or dogs to accompany us full time in the new game?

 

[Hydro]

Why yes, Ratmeat incoming

Edit: although Styg seems to be a filthy cat sympathizer

Edit2: personally I’d like me a cute borrower pet

Pets/companions seem antithetical to the game's core design, unless they were to be purely cosmetic.

 

[Hydro]

antithetical

U wat nigger?

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I mean, heavy duty already introduces companions, so not really? If you don't like it just continue playing solo, just like you can do in Fallout.

You already have temporary companions in certain locations.
I don't see a massive issue with expanding it a bit more.
I am not saying they have to be fully controllable or even be mandatory to get, just an optional companion to assist in battles if the player want, another form of roleplaying in the game.
Styg could also make the robots to require special parts for repairs and dogs require a special diet or a specialized vet to heal, just to make it more balanced.

Oh yeah, the guy whom I told to wait at the train for the entirety of the DLCs.
Riveting stuff.

wat? pack rathound, now in 3D near you!

 

[Jacov]

I wouldn't mind seeing companions with stats and perks based on player character's charisma (that Styg cut from the first game). Companions could be just another tool if you think about it. Like molotovs or lockpicks, you could use them to solve problems.

Yeah yeah "Look man, I can just do a little companions you know, I can dismiss them whenever I want!" and before you know it there's romances and dialogue wheels

Yup, absolutely classic; that's always how it starts.

WINNERS DON'T DO COMPANIONS.

Hope that unfunded Rathound Plushie turns up in this game as an Oddity Item.

An Al Fabet plushie would sell so much more

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

It would be so funny if Al Fabet shows up in Infusion, and he has nothing but plushies. That's it, that's his entire stock, plushies that no one wants

Al Fabets shows up in Infusion, but now he's a North Underrail Oligarch, extremely wealthy thanks to his PC-like hoarding obsession

Reminds me of that gambler from Fallout 2 that eventually gets rich.

Fuck. Hearing SP talk about Fallout in shoutbox and now here. I'm gonna replay FO2. Dammit.
