KickStarter Phoenix Point - the new game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop

I guess I'll try doing another run then. I don't know know if TFTV is compatible with older versions so it will have to be a new one

Note that TFTV is harder on Veteran, Hero and Legendary difficulty than vanilla. It can especially be felt on Legendary which is only difficulty I have ever played vanilla or this mod.

Should I play/finish Vanilla first or just go straight for the TFTV? Are the stories different?

No, story is mostly the same. There are some smaller differences in some additional characters added in the mod.

Might as well go for TFTV first.

ArchAngel Are you one of the TFTV devs? Is there any chance of making all keys bindable? I remember now that PP has this goofy thing where some functions seem to be hardcoded and can't be rebound.

Hardcoded keybinds give me a pain in the butt especially when they mean I can't carry over muscle memory from one game to another.

Nah, I was just doing testing for earlier versions and have access to dev chat. But when my back started killing me and I had to switch from PC to console I stopped being part of the project.
But I can try to forward this to the devs. Do you know which keys were not rebindable?

The unbindables are:-

show game menu [esc, which I suppose is ok, it's in every game]
change overwatch cone size
quick move to location
change camera location
perform action
zoom out
move floor level focus

The one I really care about is "move floor level focus" which is fixed to the mousewheel and has only the one bind, so it's not possible to assign T & G for up/down a level.

Furthermore I can't assign the assignables "zoom in/zoom out" to mousewheel fwd/back

I don't think these quibbles are all that outrageous, as I could do these keybind changes in 2012 in XCOM EU (which is why they're in muscle memory now)

You can rebind everything (and more) in AutoHotKey (it is free).

I know, and I might do that. PP is on the back burner atm (I installed it a wee while ago and then got distracted by Long War Rebalance ), so I'm wondering if making the game actually functional in this regard is a possibility.
