Part 10: Supplemental Video - Talking about The Bureau

Operation Banished Thorn: Declassified



Polsy



A big thanks to Silent W for coming along and talking about The Bureau with me for the video. He had a lot of cool things to talk about and will hopefully make the time to appear in another video or two later on in the game when XCom makes a few more overtures towards The Bureau. I hope everyone enjoyed this, though I know not everyone has played The Bureau. I'm hoping Silent W decides to LP it and put his inside view into the LP.


As I stated in the video this mission was not saved. Anything that happened here does not count as far as the LP goes. Summoning a hero unit like William Carter created a couple of problems, and one critical one I didn't think of until too late. This mission was actually recorded before the previous update and I reloaded an earlier save from before I summoned Carter. One of the big reasons I did that was I forgot popping Carter into existence meant I now had a Colonel ranked soldier which unlocked everything in the OTS and I purchased upgrades I should not have had access to yet. It would have spoiled the the LP run a little in my aim to make it a straight forward guide to XCom; I didn't want to do any hand waving and tell people 'Well I shouldn't have squad size 6 this early but...". We will return to the regularly scheduled XCom LP with the next video.
