XCOM 2 Review (Cobol_3)
If you're playing XCOM 2 without the DLC, which is still an excellent game with a great story, I recommend installing these mods which greatly improve the Quality of Life, sometimes importing features present in the DLC.
No Rank Up Throttling: Removes the limit that prevents soldiers from ranking up multiple times after a single mission, even though they earned enough Kills / XP.
Show Enemies on Mission Planning: This mod shows the enemy types and quantity that have been detected by the Shadow Chamber in the Mission Planning screen. It saves you from having to remember it or to go back to the Geo screen to examine the expected enemies. It will only show the information if you have the Shadow Chamber constructed.
Upgrade Reminder: Adds icons to soldiers in the squad loadout screen if there are available weapon or PCS upgrades and that soldier has available slots for these items. I am a bear of very little brain and usually forget to actually use the stuff I find on missions. If you do too, this might be for you.
ShowMeTheSkills: Shows soldiers perks in the squad selection menu, no more hide and seek to find that one grenadier whom AWC gave serial AND phantom. Also capable of displaying your soldier stat on the same screen without clutering the U.I too bad.
Free Camera Rotation: Enables free camera rotation.
Rogue Class Mod + Long War SMG Pack: Inspired by the Scout from Long War and a new Ghost archetype, previously unseen in XCom.
All Soldiers Gain XP: This mod gives soldiers in the barracks a small amount of XP after each mission.
More Maps Pack : This mod adds new level plots, parcels and pcp's to the map pool for greater variation in level layouts!
Stop Wasting My Time: Speeds up the game by removing pointless pauses and other time-wasters. All changes are purely cosmetic.
Gotcha (Flank Preview Evolved): Gotcha expands on XCOM 2's Line Of Sight indicator, adding the ability to anticipate if a move will flank an enemy, if they are visible through squadsight, and when mission objectives will be in view to either hack or shoot at.
Show Health Values: Shows the value of HP next to the cover icon, no more counting sectopod's HP.
Overwatch All/Others: Adds the ability to put all/other units with action points on Overwatch.
Evac All: This mod adds an "Evac All" ability to soldier ability bars when they are in an active evac zone. Clicking this button will evac all soldiers currently in the evac zone instead of needing to click the evac button on each individual soldier.
Long War Leader Pack: This mod adds a development path for XCOM soldiers in the Guerrilla Training School, allowing them to train special perks that benefit the entire squad. But only one leader at a time can go on a mission, so be careful whom you select for the training!
Blackmarket Usage: Displays possible usage of items on the blackmarket sell screen. No more wondering whether you still need Advent Trooper Corpses.
