  • @BlackTempleGaurdian
    @BlackTempleGaurdian Год назад +4

    So actual thoughts for a Rookies-only run:
    Grab a mod that changes the max squad size, and rather than "can you do it" the challenge is "how few can you (reasonably) do it with".
    To clarify, I'm suggesting you increase the squad size, rather than making it even harder for yourself.

    aside from the commitment that you made at the end, what you could do is a vid similar to the videos where you've failed. Just do a couple attempts on stream, then cut them up and narrate to us the minutia of why it's so hard. All the unintended consequences that come from not ranking up. That'll probably get people to shut up about it for a while. Just make sure to title it something like "Failing at beating XCOM 2 rookies only"; that way when/if you do actually beat it, the videos cant be mixed up and people skip it.
