Secret Outpost

[Jericho Trumpet]

DO NOT go to the Secret Outpost early on despite what you may have been told. It is a pretty difficult challenge and at the end you get a girl-boss outfit. The Mantis is, of course female.

I can forgive Bethesda for the pronoun stuff because it's optional. The girl-boss attitude at every turn is not worse than every other AAA game. But I just wanted a masculine version of the armor (to be gender neutral) but no. As a heterosexual male they do not cater to me.

I also wanted to mention that this quest has a lot of expert locks that you probably won't be able to open as a new player as you are literally locked out from attempting unless your skill level is high enough.

Incase you have not noticed. This game is anti Caucasian male. Take a walk into the major cities and the populations are 90% non white and 75% female.

It is their game so they can do what they want. but the writing is on the wall in regards to their politics.

lol

The Mantis armor looks ridiculous. Plus you have to understand the tiers of woke-ism in game design.

Female = Superhero status. Always respected, and revered.
Non White = Always useful, intelligent, funny. Usually the woman's awesome sidekick.
White male = Grunts, losers, and villains.

I swear that all the females in the game have higher testosterone levels than most bodybuilders on roids.

Now you bring that up. Most of the bad people in this game are white men. Legit.

o.0

Example the leaders of the Crimson fleet, Ecliptic mercs for the radiant quests are all white men.

It's not the best looking set. What really sucks though is the fact that it doesn't seem to level scale. At lvl 32 each piece had half the defenses of the gear I already had equipped.

Mantis literally spawned in a decently high level system for me. That was a hint for me that it was a tougher mission.

Went in at level 32, basically was able to do everything without much issues.

Funny thing about the mission. I was thinking about the Batgirl TV show, when she said, "The suit will be better, when it's on a woman!". As soon as I realized The Mantis was a woman, I mumbled to myself, "The suit will look better, when on a man!"

I think both body types can ware the armour, and also either body type can fly the ship. Armour looks a bit silly though, you might end up dumping the helmet just on looks.

There are some tough robots at the end, and you can get mobbed with weaker enemies earlier if you are not careful. I had to use the empty a clip and run, then sneak back to repeat tactic on a couple of the robots.

The mantis quest isn't that tough. I did it at like level 7 on normal. The levels don't mean anything in this game. If worse comes to worse, play the game on very easy. It doesn't negatively change anything or lock you away from achievements.

[Raszoar]

did the quest at level 7 no problems but i had my security already maxed. besides the suit you also get the ship. you dont like the suit dont use put it on androja if you want. better armor after you finish game anyway. the game itself is just easy even on very hard.

er.. if i remember right - didn't she get the job from some guy?

and was going to pass it on to her son?

- as for difficulty - yea i'd wait a bit.. think i did it around lvl 13-15ish. - only thing i still use is the helmet. the suit.. nea. to heavy and didn't like the look. as for the ship - i'd already "acquired" a class B ship by then.

Yeah, it's mostly just another notch on the belt of every BA in the game, is female. lol. Either way, I liked the mission, but the armor just looks too ridiculous to keep, imo. I also finished it at lvl 12.
Mostly used mines on the robots, at the end.

The point of this game is to program people to accept various social changes such as, but not limited to, female bosses from other races, pronouns, etc.

Everything else is completely secondary.

AAA Gaming isn't about making games anymore, only programming social changes into young people.

As someone who's worked in retail with female bosses, I doubt some of you would last a week tops, perhaps not even a day.
