Miasma Chronicles - Episode 25 Patient Zero (Let's Play)
From The Bearded Ladies, creators of Mutant Year Zero comes another tactical RPG: Miasma Chronicles. This is another xcom-like tactical combat game with exploration and rpg elements. It is a single player game and is listed as "action, adventure, and strategy" in the online store. (i got it on Epic it is also available on Steam.) Let's jump in and see if it is as good as Mutant Year Zero.
Epic released their in-app mod support on the yesterday (the 29th of July) with very little fanfare. I thought we should take a look at how the store operates and specifically how it is incorporated into MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Let's browse the mod inventory and install one through the Epic Storefront.

I'm finally ready to try a long term play through of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Pathfinder: WotR is the newest Pathfinder based CRPG from Owlcat Studios. We've given it a little bit of attention through the beta as well as an extended first look. This game, like it's predecessor has an additional level on top of its standard rpg components. Their first Pathfinder game had a Realm Management layer in which your character managed a kingdom. Wrath of the Righteous has a Crusade Management layer. I've yet to experience this mechanic (I even avoided watching other content so as not to spoil it).
We will be playing a Bloodrager Barbarian from the lands of the Linnorm Kings on normal difficulty using turn-based combat. Pathfinder allows you play with turn-based or real-time with pause but I prefer turn-based for Dungeons and Dragons styled games.

Welcome back to Mechwarrior 5! This time we will playing a heavily modded version of MW5 using Yet Another Mechlab (YAML) and A Clan Invasion Mod. Updates to YAML allowed the two to be compatable and the Templar's Pirates crew created a specific version of the Clan Invasion Mod to be used with YAML, the Yet Another Clan Invasion Mod. You can find a full list of my mods down below listed in load order (bottom is first, top is last).
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a first or third person shooter/simulator set in the Battletech Universe in which you manage a mercenary company attempting to survive in the Inner Sphere. There are two campaigns in the game. The first of which comes with the base game and a second which was added in the Legend of the Kestrel Lancers DLC. As the commander of the company you will move your mercs through the systems of the Inner Sphere to take accept contracts for the various factions. You will need to balance the finances of the company while also running one of the giant robotic battlemechs in missions, hire new pilots, and acquire new mechs and equipment so that your company can grow and thrive amongst the war torn future.

We are going to play some Battletech by Hare Brained Schemes. We are going to mod it within an inch of it's life by using a complete game modification called "Battletech Extended 3025." We are going to take advantage of one of the mods internal options to start the game at the same time as the Clan invasion. I've added a couple of more mods to round out our fun including Waifu Warfare, Battletech Save Editor, Commander Custom Portrait Loader, and my own custom unit logo mod. I have a touch over 600 hours into this game so far but i'm pretty sure i've completely forgotten how to play it over the last few months. So it's almost a "reaction" video. :)
Battletech is a turnbased tactical combat game based in universe with giant stompy robots. The game has minimal base building and some rpg characteristics. Your battlemech pilots stats can be improved and skills based on those stats can be chosen as the pilots increase their experience. There is a campaign story based mode as well as a general career mode that allows you to manage your mercenary company in a sandbox style of universe. Battletech supports modding with a built in mod tool but also with a more manual but more powerful style of modding the requires the use of 3rd party applications.

MechWarrior 5 - Mercenaries with DLC 3 and Yet Another Mechlab
This is a heavily modded save in which I will attempt to work my way through both story line campaigns. I've got a couple of house rules for this playthrough. The first is that we will take all of the cash on contract negotiations before we are allowed to ask for more salvage. The second is that we will attempt to only use mechs without hands! Initially we start with two mechs that have some of those oh, so unfortunate appendages. We will work to get rid of those in a reasonably responsible manner and then we will stick to those most pure of all giant stompy robots, those without hands! I'm not going to sacrifice the save to get to chicken-walkers and gun-hand mechs but we'll make every attempt to get there and stay there. This is my response to the melee DLC. :)

Battletech Extended 3025 - Twitch Livestream Archive - Mod Showcase
This is Twitch Livestream footage. We are playing Harebrained Schemes' Battletech with the Battletech Extended 3025 mod. The mod was created by Haree78, Justin Kayse, and don Zappo. You can find it (and many others) on Nexusmods.com. Extended 3025 is a lore-friendly mod with scaling difficulty. There are 3 basic difficulity / simulation levels along with the standard difficulty sliders. It includes a number of other mods as part of the pack, most notably the Full Inner Sphere Map, Pilot Quirks, and Mech Quirks. It is a great mod pack with an amazing community behind it.
We are focusing on getting Twitch followers involved in the playthrough and interaction with other streamers as I attempt to reach affilliate status on Twitch. We started the save on Aug 14th, 2019.
If you would like to be part of this save and our Twitch community please swing by the channel. I stream during the afternoon Sun-Fri (California time). Exact hours are on the Twitch page at twitch.tv/mellowseven
