Battletech...
I did read the romans like 20 years ago, did play TT, also 20 years ago. As the game was released i was not really impressed. Most Battletech computer games were not able to keep me play. But after the GOG release i gave it a try. And holy shit, only a very few games kept me played that much and that intensive.
That game had all i really like. Round based gameplay (I am an old fart, and my reactions are way to slow to play action based games
..), a very good campaign (Even if i think that some missions are pretty hard and probably to hard for some players). I could "level up" before i continue to progress the campaign, to make it easier. RPG Elements by leveling my Mechwarriors and the ability to mod the game. In short, an amazing game. Thank you very much. Worth every buck spend (Where are the DLCs? Clan Inasion?)
But i also have some small points i dont like, so i had to use mods to correct it. Things i would like to see in the base game.
* Quiet Darius Mod - The Mechwarriors are XP capped, and after every mission he bugs me to spend my xp. Saying that, i would like a VERY expensive way to further level my Mechwarriors, so i can spend the 150k xp saved. Let me buy skills for 100K ? Let me exchange an skill for 100K Atleast, dont make me use an mod to stop Darius bugging me.
* The timeline is only in weeks. I would like the correct date. I would also like if technology gets introduced into the game at the correct time (Helms Core 3028).
* I use an Better Camera Mod, and holy. It DOES MAKE the camera WAY better. Why do i have to use an mod for that, it should be really in the base game.
* Correct hit chance. Again, i use an mod to see the correct hit chance. Not a rounded one. Make it optional, give me an option to see either one.
* Advanced options. There is an Advanced Options mod - i like it very much. Again, this should be baseline. Single player it does not matter if i want better contract rewards.
* This one is a big one for me: PRETTY often, i have to downgrade my mechbuild, because i end up with 0.06t left on my setup (Armor capped i am, i often offer my backside to soak some damage), and then the game bugs me because of that. I would like a threshold of like 0.99t before the game starts to remind me of that.
* Ejecting. I use an mod for that. I installed a pretty late, because i did not understand why an rookie (Not even an veteran or elite) kept fighting without arms, weapons, one leg and everything else orange.
* Enemy Hitpoints. A small one, i know. I would like to see the HP of the enemy. I counted always, then i found a mod for it. Pretty small one, because normaly you dont really know the hp of your enemy.
* Again, a small one (I understand i can use an mod, if i want that). I want every piece of mechparts that exists at the correct timeline. If i choose to advance to 3050, i would like Clantechnology. Also there are mechs and variants missing still. I would like it all
* (EDITED) Let me specify a maximum number of save games, where the game deletes the oldest one. Currently i use the windows explorer to delete the game, restarting the game like every 2 hours because it gets SOOOOO slow, taking 30 seconds to switch in the store from buy to sell window...
* (EDITED) Let me move mechs in the mech bay with drag and drop, that bugs me really.
* (ED'ITED) After an mission, i would like an overview of tonnage / mechs fighted.
* (EDITED) last one: The enemy mech is unsteady, i jump behind him, and give him a 2xLSR20 into his rear armor. He falls. On his back.... I think you get my point
I understand it's just wishes, i can use mods to 'correct' this. And thats "Jammern of hohem Niveau" (Whats the correct english sentence for this? - complain about first world problems?)
Again, what a great game. I cant await some dlc with a new story campaign, like 25 years in the future
Thank you very much for it.
