FAQ:
Q - Geoscape: Why did you never research Meld Recombination?
To begin with, my playstyle was far too cautious to even get meld. By the the time June rolled around, I was too far behind in terms of economy and research to ever invest in meld, and while I did recover in October/November, I was so close to the end of the campaign it wasn't worth the effort.
Q - Geoscape: Why did you leave the EXALT base raid until now/Why did you even do it?
EXALT missions are generally pretty easy, and often have a get out of jail free card by being able to tag a comm relay. EXALT are more numerous but far weaker than the aliens, and when you also get to disregard positioning because comm relays disable every enemy on the map for a turn (besides rocket launchers and grenades i think?), then the missions become so much less lethal. EXALT took up around 30% of the missions in the game, and three soldiers died during them, compared to 30+ soldiers on other missions. While the 150§/350§ penalty for scanning every month is very harsh, and probably not worth it objectively, I appreciated the breathers they provide.
Q - Battlescape: You know you don't have to kill all the minions before killing the Uber Ethereal in Vanilla, right?

Holy shit, Inez is the best human being. Being the longest living at this point in the invasion, witnessing multiple squadmates deaths, and being one of the only few with the potential, it's sad that she sacrificed herself for humanity. In her time of life, she was a consistent killing machine that massacred the aliens and saw the development of the XCOM project in-motion. This series genuinely felt like I was watching a war between humans and aliens, and my god was it amazing. The best part was that it didn't even last a year (in-game). This was intense and extremely well made, and in a few months time, I can rewatch this, with the full series being complete this time.
Fun fact - The Volunteer canon survives. If you rewatch the cutscene, you see her teleport out of the ship right before she sets it to explode. Inez survived!
@@luketalbot2643 oh shit...
According to some hobo developer on twitter
volontuer did survived by teleporting away in last second
but i m not sure if she lived with commander happy ever after
God this is fantastic. This was the most underrated video series I have ever seen. Congrats, mate.
1:10:35
Best after credits scene I’ve ever witnessed
The fucking XCOM ASSAULT IN PROGRESS absolutely got me along with the track you used I love it so much, your editing jokes and music choice has left me in love with this series. God I really hope you decide to do XCOM 2 some day
This is easily one of the most comprehensive, fun, and well edited I/I runs put together, and it warms my heart to see the Content of this funny lil aliems strategy game still improving after nearly ten years. Excellent work all around!
Thank you all for joining me for this year-long series. The Unpossible has been accomplished. Rest easy, soldiers.
Like I said in the outro, this is 'the pinned comment'. *Replies for the Q&A are now closed*. Thank you for your comments.
Will you be continuing to experiment with uploads? Fall back onto Pokemon Showdown, explore new games you enjoy?
Okay I know it is a joke that meld will get you killed and you wouldn't survive to get meld, was there any big reason why you never tried for mec soilders? I mean it can't be because they just die. Every one dies in impossible...except the bad mother fuckers who made it to the end of course.
I think is an obvious one:
Will you also do XCOM 2 or similar games like Phantom Doctrine?
Are you going to eventually do an Unpossible run for XCOM 2?
Are you going to do more episodic content like this
Bain: "Guys, XCOM operatives are inbound! REAL BAD XCOM operatives!"
Col. Inez stared down her rifle's scope, focused directly on the Uber Ethereal's head. It's visage had haunted her for days, since the Temple Ship had appeared above the ocean. When she activated the Gollop Chamber, it finally made itself known, calling to her, almost welcoming her. As they fought through the ship, it had spoken directly to her, talking about it's failures, calling her their prodigy. They tried to drive her to join them, to let them train her to be better than them.
But she knew better. The call came in through her comms, the leader's guardians had fallen. Now was her time. She slowed her breathing, as she had trained, aimed carefully, and fired. The recoil shook the sniper, the plasma bolt speeding out, crossing the distance between them in a fraction of a second. The creature recoiled, but it didn't fall. It reared forwards, amassing psionic energy in it's hands, preparing for one final attack to end them all.
The squad fired, but to no avail. The Psionic Mastermind was stronger than anything they had ever faced, deflecting all the fire away from itself. She saw only one alternative as she took her shot, only for it too to be deflected. The lives this monster had taken flashed before her eyes, the friends, no, the family she had lost lingered in her vision. She glanced around, the rest of her squad still unloading a barrage of plasma fire. Each one of them had lost someone they cared about in this war, each one had suffered the pain of losing a squadmate or more. A fire burnt inside her as she refocused on the Uber Ethereal, and she let it out. All her anger, all her rage, her hatred, she concentrated it all into a ball of psionic flame. She threw it at the creature, easily piercing it's shielding and burning a whole through it's very center. It slumped forwards, piercing scream echoing out as it disappeared in a psionic explosion. They hadn't realised until it was far too late - they hadn't created their protégé, they had created their destroyer.
Authors Note - I just had to do something like this. Although Das was by far my favourite survivor, it felt fitting that this final piece came from the eyes of the Volunteer. Obviously I took some creative license with the final battle, and it's not much better than amateur fanfiction, but this is really the only way I can express myself, so eh.
Seriously though, I will fully admit I teared up during the section on the Fallen, and I damn near cheered when Inez hit that crit and the survivors slideshow happened. This series was a journey from start to finish, one I'm glad you took us on. Thank you Kierany, thank you.
the exalt fianl mission is really underwelming if you do it in the late game, just imagine how incredible would it be if exalt had a mec waiting for you in their HQ as a final boss, men just thinking about it gives me chills
Sokolov’s death actually made me cry
Ahhh god Sokolov still hurts.
i love the pause before clicking the gollop chamber where you just get a flash of the exalt caused deaths, and you kinda just "no. i wont let them get away with that."
Now we wait for Xcom 2 videos
Some little feedback: I liked the early episodes more since they have more jokes and memes
but the encounter with the Sectopod on the ship wreck was intense i liked that
This was a really fun series to watch with good editing and music. It’s nice to see an Xcom play through where the player is good but not perfect, makes it more exciting than a play through where every mission is a success and barely any solider are lost.
51:55 looks like a thin man to me :P
Congrats man, glad you managed to finish this campaign, it did look bleak the first few episodes but you pulled through. Good watch!
FUCK
caught like ten bloody errors in that part and one _still_ slipped through
I think ITS Okay..
I'm late to the party, but this series was absolutely phenomenal. Incredible stuff Kierany, you're officially one of my favorite youtube channels
Wow i know i only came in around episode 5 but you literally nearly single handedly reignited my passion for XCOM, and I just know the moment I’m able to play it again I’m going to be right back in the action again, screaming at that 95% SHOT THAT SHOULD HAVE FUCKING HIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME-
You are correct that comm launchers DID NOT DISABLE GRENADES (at least in Long War). I lost my operative once to grenade spam because of that
This was my favourite gaming series of all time. The highs and lows, every near squad wipe just just devastating to watch and each Xcom perfect clear where you stomped The Aliens was satisfying to watch every time. I loved the perseverance and journey! Thank you!
Randomly remembered this series last week while doing dishes. Finally had time to watch the last 2 episodes. What a journey this was. Kudos to you for making it happen.
The to the fallen segment even got me emotional and everything
You did a great job at beating the game in the most bullshit difficulty and making such entertaining videos
Holy shit. This has got to be one of the greatest and most underrated RUclips series I've *ever* seen, let alone the best XCOM series. Everything about this is perfect, but the finale is absolutely unforgettable.
11/10 would miss a 97% shot again
Wow. You went back and dug up the clips of XCOM’s fallen. Absolutely amazing
I just stumbled on your channel a few days ago and as an absolute noob to enemy within i loved the alien/equipment cards you made and all of the advice in the videos
Your videos helped me to beat my first enemy within game
44:39
Just wanted to mark this to appreciate Deadbolt’s aim
Seriously, that was insane
No se si mira comentarios nuevos pero si lo ves, te pido que hagas otra parte pero en Xcom 2, esta serie era buena y unica por su edición, tambien que no eras perfecto haciendo que no sabias si la mision iba ser facil o iba morir todo el escuadron.
10/10 serie de Xcom
Came back to this series after a year, still genuinely amazing. I wish more games had guides/playthroughs done in this kind of style. Hope you're doing well wherever you are Kierany ❤
Damn what a gem! I rarely feel like this from watching a video or a movie. This was such an epic journey possibly one of the best "let's plays" ever. The edits, the flashbacks, everything.
I really hope you make another one one day. Thanks for the experience.
binging this over the last week has been a pleasure
I just saw the whole series in a row. Your editing made it so fun to watch! Congratulations on clearing Impossible, Commander!
This series is amazing! Thank you for your excellent work!
What an amazing journey, glad I was here to witness it
Congratulations! Very good walktrough! Thank you for your videos!
Well, that was a treat, thanks again!
What an end to a series,hoping to see more content from you in the future
dr. vahlen is still waiting to research meld recombination...
Wow, you deserve some vacation. Really looking forward for new content though!! This series was incredible!
This was fantastic series, what a journey!
You madlad, you did it!
I am simultaneously impressed, saddened, and annoyed by your commitment to not using meld, to the point of not even doing the research for completion's sake.
That being said, I WANTED MEC TROOPERS, goddamn it! >:(
Anyway, I enjoyed this immensely, hopefully there's an XCOM 2 I/I in the works.
Godspeed, Commander. You've done humanity proud.
This has been one of the best edited playthroughs I have ever seen. Aside from how engaging each battle was, I really liked the humor you injected into the game with the editing. Tragedy truly cannot exist without comedy.
Amazing mission accomplished good work kierany9
Dang, what a ride. Grats!
After having watched this whole series through to the end, I can say I'm not only impressed that you managed to pull this off, but it also has to be the best XCOM: EW playthrough I've ever seen. Right after I post this comment I'm going back through the playlist again to like all the videos I forgot to because I was so absorbed.
Nice Work.
I'm new at xcom and i learned a lot with The series. Congrats
Muchas felicidades. Me rei bastante y aprendí varias cosas 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the series. I enjoyed this so much more than the perfect playthrough of this game by veterans. Perfectly encapsulates an average joes attempt of xcom on i/i.
XCOM 2 when?
It truly was a detour...it truly was a roundabout path
just getting into xcom around the time of watching this and it's definitely played a part in drawing me into the series. nice to meet another smbz fan, too!! // ' v ' //
8:46 EXALT: HAHA, *I'M IN DANGER!*
epic
Well done commander
Meld would have been useful for the gene mods, can be quite a boost. I agree that mecs would have been too late.
But great series, with the climb back up from the lowest point earlier in the year and that supply ship mission being some high points
Don't believe in yourself, New One! Believe in ME, that believes in YOU!
Yoooooo it’s here
12:02 Not only are their numbers low but we don't even see them using anything late game.
How cool would it be if in their base they JUST finished developing plasma weaponry(not all soldiers would have plasma) so if you fail the mission, they gonna become super tough in the future.
Or imagine them having some unique late game gene mods, some that make them more like ayyyliens, like one exalt operative that looks tall and *thinn* or other looks beefy like a berserker?
Or heck why don't we see them use mechs? Mechs are a part of meld research as well!
It is, as we say, a good day to die.
Gaming.
Was there at any point were you thought you were going to lose the campaign
Is XCOM 2 next?
HE DID IT! (Im really late! Sorry)
Ayyyyy lmao
XCOM Is not hard... But this was...
YOU
ARE
A
LEGEND
TO YOU COMRADE
*You get vodka*
And I think this series was great
Can you make XCOM 2 or other strategies?
To the fallen o7
You might’ve killed so many EXALT, the HQ ended up understaffed…at least, that’s my interpretation anyway.
Still no less badass
So what next? Long War unpossible?
Do i need to kill everyone in last mission?
o7
bet
Now do Xcom2
you won't happen to play Long War, won't you?
The way a game should be done without all the commentating
Is it first in the world i/i ?
