    Small correction to Serpents Embrace at 14:56. I said jumping with your jump pack but it's actually tied to grav jumping with your ship. This is actually worse than I thought, because that would get extremally annoying when you are doing quests or anything for long periods of time outside of your ship. I made this video on Tuesday, and I didn't notice the error until I was about to post the video.

      interesting thing about the introvert and extrovert. they specify Human companions, so you can Introvert and take Vasco and still get the introvert bonus. However im only 6.7 hours in and already I am discouraged by the companion AI as I prefer stealth and i found vascco giving me away more often then not

    Minor correction: Serpent's Embrace says Grav jumping not Jump Boosting. I'm pretty sure it means using your ship's Grav drive to Grav Jump in space nothing to do with boost packs. On a side note the use of a serpent residing in space as a deity in scifi is a long running trope based around Jormungander, Nidhoggr, Marduk, Bahamut, Tiamat, and many Asiatic wyrms such as the Lawu which are all based on the concept of a serpent like entity residing in "The Heavens" or space as we would call it today. Glad to see House Varuun keeping the tradition alive XD

    Made my first character literally 2 hours ago and was unsure of the traits and background I ended up grabbing. Seemed I didn't do too bad of a job - Industrialist, Alien DNA, Terra Firma, and Wanted. However there were a few other traits I really wanted to grab for RP purposes but wasn't sure if it'd be a good idea in the long run. Thanks to this I think I'll remake my character and get Bounty Hunter, Wanted, Terra Firma, and...something else, not sure yet. Might stick with Alien DNA because while healing will be affected, having more oxygen may be very useful in the long run.

    Alien DNA is absolutely worth it for all the running around you have to do.

      Wanted is great because it's basically free xp and materials. The bounty defenders get a little annoying though when they start stealing your kills.

      @@wwm84 I prefer Taskmaster or Extrovert over Wanted. Especially with Persuasion. Wanted got annoying so I found a way to permanently remove it. Almost everytime I grav jumped the same 3 spaceship bounty hunters would be there waiting to either extort me for 2000 credits or engage in combat.

    Grav jumping is warping from system to system. It's not about the jet pack.

    I picked wanted, and I was set upon 2 or maybe even 3 times in my first day of playing. but I haven't been attacked since, so that was a bit unexpected. But everytime I'm on a planet now and I hear engines of another ship landing, I get paranoid... Hahaha

    I have heard the Freestar Collective gives you a lot more money for their missions and this can be huge... and that the bounty increase is not really noticed much. I have also heard that the athletics is a must as is the jetpack and pilot. Lockpicking too.

    I'm interested in:
    Dream Home
    Hero Worshipped
    Kid Stuff
    Taskmaster
    Wanted
    So hard to limit myself to only 3 lol. I wish Adoring Fan was a quest reward, like in Oblivion.

    I wonder if you skipped the lock picking skill, would basilistics or gastronomy be more important because you'd find so many fewer weapons and medical items?

    • @SwanyPlaysGames
      @SwanyPlaysGames  Рік тому +4

      It might make up the difference. But then you have to loot all the ingredients that you need to make food.

    • @garfnob4832

      or skipped the lock picking skill and take crafting. make all your own gear. worked well in other Bethesda games. i do not know how hard it is to find/buy the materials.

    Dream Home + Hero Worshiped + Kid Stuff gang
    This was the most neutral character I could conceive of for a first playthrough. Felt like a rich kid down on his luck with a home about to be foreclosed and my ship already having been reapo'd or something.

  • @lordvalinar774

    EDIT: Turns out it's only +50 max HP, and 10 more seconds of running worth of O2 so... maybe not as worth it as I thought.
    I see Alien DNA as an absolute bonus. More max HP/O2 and you can easily heal out of combat with 1hr of a bed/bench. Food is garbage, med packs are sufficient enough for in-combat purposes even at the reduced rate (which wasn't much from what I've tested). Although I don't know how MUCH more max HP/O2 you get from not having it (like whether it's % based or a flat buff) 🤔

    I decided to use console commands to give myself skill points and or perks. I am playing a Single player game. I am not going to get 82 skill points to unlock it all and then inside 4 skill point ranks for 328 points. Yes I know you don't need them all. But my point is I want the ones I like and seem fun and useful. I am not going to NG+ the game 4 times over.
    I am not going overboard with this solution and the beauty is that even if you somehow unlocked all the perks. You still have to rank up each level inside each perk. So if you don't use it, it won't happen. So it's not like you would have "all" perks anyway. You would just 'organically' end up using some of them based on your actions in the game.
    I mean like Weight class. It just ends up giving me more room to carry more. It's just a way to avoid an artificial "game nuisance". Oh noes I have to run back to ship to off-load my inventory bla bla. It's just an annoyance. Same with lock picking. It will still require me to rank it up. There are some perks I would be more careful with and that is the damage increase perks. I am not going to go overboard on them. Because then you become too powerful. But ability to make better mods, scan better, pilot better, more weight capacity, stealth and security. These are just QOL perks (Quality of life).

    Vehemently appreciated, as well admired is your clear goal :> If future non-adsense then please just place at very front/back/both rather than interrupting TV-style, as it kills the flow, and we increasily aware of YT's low pay and will watch non-adsense if mutually considerate ^^;;
    As for trait, I am thinking Wanted, Hero Worship, and then between the crew/repair, Terra, and Dreamhome. Kidstuff would actually be too emotional for reasons, plus the immersion would stress me out thinking the Wanted would make parents vulnerable.
