it's worth a playthrough. whether you pay for it or not is up to you. I'd spend $10 on it if i was in your position

Yes, but at that point you might want to get all the others DLC too, like the one that add the SPARKS

Considering how much it adds and changes, yes.

>Worth getting it if i already finished the vanilla game at launch?

Yes. The Chosen and mercs from the new factions are so laughable unbalanced, but it's worth playing through at least once; if only to experience the insane about of changes/fixes and improvements they made to the game.

I just pray you aren't playing this shit on console, because the Xcom 2 without mods is complete shit, especially on top of the game-breaking crashes the console version are still seeing.

Hunter is best Chosen, Warlock can go jerk off to his fantasies of the Elders.

Whate are some good mods for my second playthrough with war of the chosen?

>vanilla game at launch
So you never got to field giant robots that punch ayys to death?

Isnt that the first game?

Anything that makes the Chosen more difficult.
MEC Troopers mod and Bio Operative mods are fun, they bring back the MECs and Meld as well as they can.
Some good lewd mods for the female soldiers on loverslab.
And if you also want something for the male soldiers, XSoldier.

That shit eating grin.

I enjoyed it, adds quite a nice amount of variety that was needed. Dunno about you guys, but XCOM and other planetary simulators usually start becoming boring in around 3/4 of the game, then start being fun again for the last mission or two.

Wotc really needed better arenas for the chosen fights, hunter literally bunkers down and waits for a shotgun to the face.

While it may make the game a bit easier, I actually found the mod "Flawless" pretty good, since it encourages and rewards you for playing smarter. Other than voice packs, MEC Troopers and Shivs mods are the only ones I played around with.

If you played the XCom 2 vanilla game, you may want to give Long War 2 mod a chance before going to WoTC. Personally, I like the QOL changes in WOTC too much to go back to the base game and LW2, while a totally new experience really feels like the creator was just padding the shit out the original content, instead of make all new stuff, as how LW mod was to XCOM EW, but then I haven't played LW2 that long.

That fucker was literally Yea Forums incarnate. Motherfucker was just dicking around 24/7, whereas the Assassin was just a cunt who seemed to want the D from the Commander. The Warlock was such a fucking sperg and a boring faggot that I always got rid of his ass first.

What's the matter? Can't handle THE ELDERS' MOST GLORIOUS CREATION?!

Will the bosses really show up randomly and start killing my dudes?

What do you all recommend for a first playthrough?

They'll hound you every so often until you kill them in their fortresses, but you've got a lot of work to do to get there. also they're mainly going to try to daze one of your troops and either interrogate them on the spot or kidnap them, if the latter happens you'll have to wait for an opportunity to rescue them.

After a few missions, one will start pestering you, the others will show up on other parts of the world map. They will attempt to capture your dudes, rather than killing them.

Imagine, if you will, if the Chosen and the Rulers could appear in the same mission at the same time.
>Assassin with Archon King
>Warlock with Berserker Queen
>Hunter with Viper King

Also, if you have "Lost and Abandoned" on, you'll do a special mission that introduces the Reapers, Skirmishers, and the Assassin, as well as The Lost. You'll always have the Assassin as your first Chosen and a Reaper as your first special unit.

It's more satisfying killing the ELDERS GREATEST CHAMPION
>It's a warlock does nothing but spam psi-zombies every three rounds episode.

I've only seen him run forward to fight a few times, I think maps with "horde sitreps" force him to go forward as he is the only advent on the map. He's good like that, summoing Lancers and Psi Lancers. He also has the best group daze.

In some mods, there is are bugs that allows that to happen.
>youtube.com/watch?v=4V7gDa80CpU
Assassin has best theme.

You know, I wouldn't even mind your spiel if the Elders themselves weren't such non-characters.

Like fuck, yeah, you could see the Hunter fucking with the Skirmishers and Assassin fucking with the Reapers respectively, but the Warlock looks like the kind of faggot reject that got kicked out of the Templars, for having sex with too many Psi-Zombies and claiming the voice of the Elders told him to do it.

Based and RemoteStartpilled

He's got a thicc arm.
>Hunter is scrawny little shit that sits at homes and plays video games using wall hacks in multiplayer, no one can ban him because he is the admin in all games.
>Assassin gets called Empty, as in depressed so probably mopes around in a corner depressed
>THE CHADWARLOCK is always improving his body and mind, lifting to get big and swole, so he can fight off the horrors to come with is body and mind.

Being serious, best warlock moments are when He tells you about the horrors coming in X-com 3. He says they are on par with the elders in terms of being magic beings, but they are lot more powerful than the elders. Coming from a guy who sees the elders as gods that's pretty scary. He also uses a tone for once where he doesn't mock you, but is like "shit is going to be real bad" .

Actually, the Warlock was a human child with incredible psionic ability that an Advent unit discovered. He proceeded to obliterate the unit with his powers, which drew the attention of the elders and they took him in and worked on him to make him what he became.

I think The chosen should have been the Avatars. So if you fail the ticker then those three spawn.

The warlock is THE ELDER'S GREATEST CHAMPION
CRASHER OF GAMES

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a mod that does just that. Hell, I'm shocked that someone hasn't already made a mod that gives the Chosen some/all of the late-game skills just as a giant fuck you.

I mean, the Rulers were fucking bullshit in the base game, especially on their story-based stage; I could only imagine you getting attacked by the Chosen then a horde of the Lost while trying to finish that shit.

what was your most tragic mission?
>vip extraction mission

Are you talking about the Viper Den mission? That shit's easy.

I preffered it when they were those three kidnapped people from the x-com 1 dlc. This is some gay anime shit. Stupid book.

>Prefer the fan theory that templars were exalt that go the powers they wanted, but switched sides after realising how shitty the elders were.

I prefer the exalt one, as it has the illuminati mystique vibe.

I haven't played the newest DLC, but isn't there a new set of pre-Xcom 2 missions or whatever where you play Central after the aliens won? It'd think we'd get proto-Firebrand or him exclusively for those missions.

Not tragic but
Failing my iron manrun. I got the last avatar down to 1 health in a "do or die turn" and then watched the squad get wiped. Commander got squeezed by a snek then crit shoted by the last avatar. I still did 99% without savescumming though, I'll take your merciful mission restart Jake.

Before release he killed a Firaxis stream with his appearance. Most loyal's might could not be contained.

Have fun getting monologued at by the fucking Chosen. They LOVE to call you up randomly and tell you how badly they're going to kick your ass next time you fight.

definitely, the two new classes are great fun (bordering on broken). The Chose can be extremely obnoxious and sometimes straight up unfair, but they really do mix things up for the better.

Didn't vahlen have something to do with the 'King' aliens?

Is Vahlen alive for X-com 3?

You discover her fisting various captive ayys, then she drinks a beaker containing their DNA and she mutates into a giant mishmash of human and ayy genetics for a boss fight.

Just as god intended.
Best X-Com

Got Xcom2 for cheap right before the DLC came out, played it and loved it, got a little upset how I finished everything too qucikly and wanted more flesh from it.
See the dlc that its cheap if you already own the game, buy it

Its the best DLC out there I've come across, so worth it, almost upset I didnt get it on the first playthrough but It did end up making me play thourgh the game a whole nother time.

Total playthroughs 4 since getting it.
its a real time waster and helped me through some shit when I need a distraction to take up time.

Agreed.

So you mean good games are outdated and the only games coming out are dumbed down shit games? That sucks.

By "dumbed-down" we mean "It's different so it sucks", yes?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
The sooner you accept it and a) find a new hobby, or b) fucking deal with it and get what enjoyment you can, the better.

There's plenty of good games out there, nuCOM ain't one of them.
No, I mean it's a bad game. It's not fun. It's dumbed down streamlined weak sauce for retards like you.

I'm probably just a casual, but LW2 on veteran difficulty absolutely wrecked my shit. I mean it reamed my asshole hard.

To be fair, it was my first playthrough of 2, so I never played vanilla 2 and just went straight for long war. But goddam. Some of those enemy counts were absurd.

There's also a mod that has The Commander's outfit and the Navigators' outfits, as well as YoRHa soldier outfits.

You should only play it if you beat vanilla

Join the club. He was close to finishing it too, until he found out some random nobody on Patreon was using part of his program, completely went batshit insane, and abandoned modding forever and the internet for more than a year, telling his fans and friends and supporters to fuck off while doing so. He recently showed himself again but now he's just farting around on some 3D program making random torso objects.

Honestly, I'm desperate enough that I'm happy to even hear he's back at all.

He hasn't contacted anyone or said anything on either his discord, site, or twitter, though, just posted something and disappeared again. I really doubt he'll ever finish the mod, knowing him he likely deleted everything in a fit of rage.

XCOM 3 when lads?

I'd rather believe the best about them even if they've been unstable. I hope they're in a better place either way.

I do as well, but he's had a history of depression and instability. Seems to be a requirement for modders and content creators of every kind.
