What is Sci-Fi mode?

[Randall Flagg]

Hello,

I used to play this game in the past+ just finished Unfinished business. I remember SF has some aliens in it, but how does it change the game and does it make it much harder ?

Thank you

I think the two main things going on with Sci-Fi mode, and I could be wrong, is that there's at least on weapon added and some giant ant/alien/bug things will attack you're mines. The weapon shows up later in the game but if you attack the weapon research facility you can pick one up earlier and it's a "rocket rifle".

Not sure but i think healing drugs and remote controlled robot is only available in sci-fi mode.

The JA2 manual says:
GAME STYLE: In Jagged Alliance 2, this is set to SCI FI by default. With the SCI FI option on, you’ll encounter some, ah, very unusual things during your campaign. Check REALISTIC if you don’t feel Arulco is an appropriate place for anything you’d find in a science fiction movie.

Leave it on "SCI-FI" if you're OK with the game getting "far out" with sci-fi elements.
Sselect "REALISTIC" if you prefer the game to "keep it real" and cut the sci-fi stuff.

**Spoiler alert. Sci-fi will add different but minor addition to gamestory. Why don't figure out yourself?

I finished JA2 with sci-fi only once, i don't like this kind of s#it in games ;) Of course if i don't play Serious Sam :P

Sci FI only adds the Creatures in the mines and the related events I also read somewhere that some weapons get burst fire that dont have it in realistic mode

Forgot to mention the rocket rifle IS in "realistic mode" but its actually based off a prototype weapon in real life
