I quit my xcom2-lwotc run. I guess I didn't play optimized enough. Enemies keep getting stronger and stronger and my science is too slow to keep up. It got to the point where I could only finish missions with massive save-scumming and now I benched it. In my next attempt I'm gonna be quicker about everything and build up multiple teams right from the start but for now ..

I am playing BG3 :D

For xcom2 you need to immediately research the upgraded weapons as soon as you begin your campaign. It feels counter intuitive because it takes so long but it really puts you into the correct pace. I don't remember when it best to upgrade them again or armor but that's the best start. Also aggressively use grenades because they're guaranteed hits.

For BG3, be sad there is no overwatch, sorry, I mean readied action like in D&D.

Thanks will try that when I come back to it. BG3 should take a while though I'm afraid :)
