I really like him and his battle dialogue. Really, he's just so arrogant it's funny. He's also a better tank than Lin.
Anyway, I haven't done his 2nd Affinity quest yet, but he actually seemed
surprisingly well intentioned
in his first two Heart to Hearts.
He goes around inspecting the Water plant and industrial plant, and you'd think that he'd do that while belittling the people who work there and are supposed to do that work, but he actually just believes that he can help and so he should do something too.
I can't believe he's getting an actual emotional reaction out of you. He's a paper thin cardboard cutout caricature of a stereotype. Classic example of a kid's show character so completely defined by one overriding, overbearing character trait that he might as well not exist outside of it. boring af

The whole of chapter 12 is stupid and might be the worst final chapter and boss I've played in any game with the exception of maybe the shitty design Deus Ex HR boss fights, and even those were more forgiving to even the builds less prepared for them.
And yes I understand some of you like had an easy time with it, but plenty didn't and it's not because everyone else is bad at games. This was just stupid.
It has soured my whole experience when I'm going in fully prepared and have to deal with crap like this for fabricated difficulty.
Trying to catch up with the last 7-8 pages I found this very very funny. Right up to this post I haven't seen anybody else so constantly bitching about the game since Zefah in the import thread and all the threads up to launch. It's your opinion and i respect it, but this is damn funny.
Ugh, yesterday I went to the Cave of Rebirth for a mission and it was plagued with respawning enemies. I fell a lot from the upper part due to an art moving me to an undesired position while in battle or an enemy starting battle while I was in the middle of a jump. Everytime this happened I had to go back to the beginning of the cave to find the enemies there had respawned. Clearing the cave and getting the 2 treasures there took me more time than the mission to get the Skell permit.
Haha, I can't progress in story because of an affinity mission I don't qualify for.
I can easily correct this but I could go on a huge rant how much party management sucks in this game and the general lack of respect for freedom to choose what characters to place in your party.

It's kind of baffling that you have to physically go to where the party member is to get him or her to join your team. And of course they never tell you where the hell they are.

That's listed in the description for their hex, but you're right that it could have been streamlined so much. The 'reserve party' screen was right there...

Same here. I was just going to post how they should of just allowed your party to increase to 5 members instead of reducing it down to 3 when doing missions where another character joins up. This on top of most important missions requiring Elma and Lin were just poor design decisions.
I've found that it does help with leashing to order your squad to disengage and assemble as well. Otherwise they'll tentatively run in your direction while fighting and keep leashing the enemy farther than he would have come if everyone had just run.

He's a smug glasses asshole voiced by ALBERT WESKER. How can you hate him.
Also, just last night I decided to get him caught up in levels and I hit 'equip strongest' on him out of laziness. It automatically put sunglasses and a black suit on him. It knows.

Not always. I couldn't find Gwyn for the longest time because he shares a hex grid with Lao, and gives Lao the priority in the text description.
I would be okay with talking to party members to recruit them if reserves were actually.. you know, reserves and were a list of party members I could switch out via active members menu, and characters not on the reserve I didn't have access to- but instead they just made organizing your party members and hoping you have the correct affinity with some of them (even for mandatory missions) fetch quests of their own.
I guess he's on a yellow icon hex and not the usual checkmark, then. Lao and Gwyn are so close together I honestly couldn't tell until I just found him manually.
Well, making party management such a pain in the ass basically just means that I'm sticking to my fourth party member (Frye) and miss out on a lot of the affinity missions and heart to hearts. The game's big enough as is, I simply can't be arsed with bad design choices wasting my time.
Also why is no one fixing these damn roads in NLA. I was excited to see the Biahno Water Purification Plant pop up as plans, in construction and finally being finished, I was hoping that NLA itself would see some reconstruction efforts as well over the course of the story.
No idea, if you did his initial quest and got the introduction screen where he becomes available as a party member, he should be waiting in front of the diner in the industrial district to be recruited. Even though you shouldn't have to, maybe approach him with a free slot in your party?

I finally reached level 30 last night so I got myself a new skell. But I really dislike the dislike of the heavy ones, so I picked the black slick one (I don't remember the name now). I hope that won't make my life too hard further on. I bought a heavy one for Elma and I will give Lin also one and keep the first skell for the 4th party member.
You need to go to the barracks and register the skell every time I change the party member, right?
Now I wait for Elma and Lin to get to level 30 to jump again into the main story. Just one level to gain for them, so I will do it tonight most probably.
Meanwhile I enjoy a lot the normal missions, some crazy stories going on there. In the water plant quest
I stopped Ajoa, but if you let her take a shower, does she become a monster too like the others?
Okay, yeah. Gwin is sitting on a yellow shield hex that looks like the other two dozen hexes on that same screen. smh
I was gonna go to bed soon but I really want to do some squad mission stuff now that it's online again. I might as well grab the dude I need the affinity for, and not bother to gear up most of the 4th party members I use at this point.
So Lao's whole problem was that he's butthurt over the fact that his family didn't make it to the White Whale? Even though they all knew that it was a possibility when they signed to project Exodus? That is so anime omg.
Also, what's with Irina suddenly "acting suicidal" out of nowhere? That was never hinted at in the main story before chapter 11. Do any of her affinity quests touch on that subject?

Cool, so I actually saved her (I changed a bit the text in the previous post, I understood now that it might be confusing). So much for options doing nothing.
Yeah, the church one was also interesting. Almost philosophical.

Lao wasn't enough fleshed out, imo.
For example, he only have like 2 affinity mission, difficult to get attached to him.
He could've easely played the big bro part that you would hated to kill from all your heart.
But no, he hasn't had enough screen time for that, lol
