I always go in there with my Agents... I need that iron sword. Early game in Torment, when I am low on energy and not much on power and a slight breeze could take half my hit points, I need that iron sword. When I daze everything, I can melee safely. Unless of course, I damage it, but fail to kill it. Next round, it might just kill me.

With the iron sword and a bit of war blessing, I can follow the Agent's Mantra. One shot, one kill. I have a fair bit of confidence that when I daze something, and go in for the kill with that iron sword, I will finish it off, completing yet another Agent Mantra. If I stab it, one of us will die. If not mine enemy, then I.

I noticed that my Bullseye Shaper could indeed, go with out his creations. A few times I actually left them behind intentionally to sneak around.

And if somebody caught me alone, by George, I let them have it.

I said all that long ago.

To be perfectly frank, if it had been 100 years, the bones and the robes would be gone. He is still fairly intact. It might not be recent, but it is not all that long ago.

And for some reason my memory is telling me that there are a few more bodies like that on the island. Somewhat recent corpses of shapers.

There were TWO on the island. You find the body of the second in one of the very first areas. You identify him as a shaper because of his robes, and he didn't die all to long ago. In the area where you meet the Fyoras for the first time. He's hidden, and you have to go looking for him in an out of the way place, a dead end.

In all honesty, I think Agents know all to well the inner workings of Agents. At least, past the initiate level and in to the apprentice level. And they would know that canister usage would lead to them having an accident somewhere some time.

The spectres are going to pWn yoo.

No really, on anything past normal, spectres are just mean... Develop a ranged strategy and NEVER stop moving. Run away and leave the zone if you have to in combat mode. If they hit you even once, you are pretty much dead.

So how does the upgrade work? When and where?

And how much is to much? One or even two extra abilities is one thing, but that many AP with multi shot is to much.

Ideally, Alwan shouldn't have much offense.

Alwan should be a Guardian and gain defensive abilities. I mean, the missile attacks are nice and all, but he should be gaining defensive abilities at some point.

Edit. It would be perfect if Alwan could gain extra action points in the game somehow. 10 ap, like a plated bug. With a baton, he could shoot twice and rival Gretas offense.

Been thinking about this quite a bit.

Alwan has no multi target attack... So he will never be as powerful as Greta. But he can remain useful. This is important.

Alwan might still not be as powerful as Greta, but at least he can be as useful as Greta. This is important. Having a means to keep him alive by keeping him out of toe to toe combat is a good thing. Having him alive makes him dependable and keeps him useful. I can live with this. As it was, Alwan was unbearable.

Alwan's overall suckiness was the lasting fly in my ointment concerning G3. I don't really view this as a cheat but more of a balance fix. One that should have been made before the game's release. It wasn't exactly game breaking, but it was extremely one sided how useful Greta was compared to Alwan. Loyalists couldn't keep Greta... She took off right as she was becoming quite powerful.

Isn't that a bit to powerful to start with though? Seriously... Even on torment to justify this sort of thing, an acid baton would make seriously short work of the starting areas.

There needs to be a way to upgrade somehow to preserve balance.

The regular baton is nice because it honestly does not feel like cheating.

Greta gets an upgrade to an acid attack later and then a multi target attack... Alwan, as far as balance goes, should also get an acid attack other than his sword, but his baton, and then some other attack later, but not reapers. I mean, don't get me wrong, reapers would be all kinds of awesome, but unlimited reaper shots would just be obnoxious. So a submission baton or something would be a bit more balanced. Then again, submission is worse than outright damage and can be abused.

It sort of pains me to say this, but I applied the code to Alwan to see if it would correct his shortcomings. He can use both his sword and his thorns... He seems to only shoot plain thorns, and does a fair bit of damage. I don't know how long plain thorns will be useful, but all of a sudden Alwan is a well rounded character suitable for Torment level combat. On the wounded alpha guarding the school exit, Alwan's opening shot did 24 damage, unblessed, unbuffed, all on his own. That's a fair bit of hurt starting out. Blessed, his damage increased considerably. Tremendously. He is now a strong contributor to battles and if you keep him tucked behind some of your creations, he becomes quite the sniper. He still can't one shot kill a fyora, but he is most useful. I can not help but feel that this is how he should have been all along. Batons should be skilled in both melee and missile weapons, and the lack of a ranged attack always made Alwan seem, I dunno, unfinished somehow. Now he actually feels like a real guardian fighting beside you.

Would be nice to somehow upgrade his baton once or twice later. Not like to reapers or anything... But say, to a venom baton and then to, hrm, a submission baton. Submission baton would suit his personality.

Edit.

I dare say that a thorn shooting Alwan would even be a suitable companion for an Agent. The ability to keep range and distance away from the enemy is vital for particular playstyles... I never thought I'd say this.

Second edit.

Just wondering, when you upgrade Alwan's attacks, I wonder if the acid drip from his sword would apply to the thorn shots? And the damage boost? Anybody know, or am I going to have to test this out the hard way?

I can't even begin to find the script that belongs in.

Can he still use his sword? What kind of baton does he have? I might seriously consider this little tweak.

Can somebody just make it a downloadable patch? :P

Unlimited thorns are not a problem.

There was a servile that could join you in G2 that had a baton.

Alwan should have had a baton, which could be upgraded as time goes on. He could get "missile training" from an instructor. As stupid as that sounds. I mean, it's not that hard to pick up a baton and use it, but there is a bit of a problem of getting the upgrade and making it somehow realistic in game.

Hit Vlish with terror to make them run away, and then splash them with acid. They are of no threat to you that way.
