TheMeTaLMonkey Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) HI, Thanks for the Link, interesting read! I think a prevention to save scumming would be to add an additional 5% 10% 15% to the aliens aim each time an AutoSave is reloaded for the remainder of the mission . Or you can restart the mission Personally I don't mind starting the mission again If I need to reload. I don't back away from hard fights or overwhelming numbers it just that occasional point blank 100% shot that misses or does no damage whatsoever that makes you shout BS and I reload the entire mission.Sometimes the randomness of LW works in your favour, for example; I accidently triggered a pod of 4 chrysalides which charged all in a conga line towards me, I just blasted them with AP grenades. ( I wasn't going to save scum for the Aliens sake then :smile: ) Edited March 31, 2015 by TheMeTaLMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
