The girl or snake?

[nub]

Whom is better to use the girl or snake? I'm still early in the game so I can't use her yet. So how do I get to use her?

[Mav]

You mean Quiet? Or do you mean a female combat unit member?

You can't play as Quiet you just tell her what to do while on the field. And Snake is better than every combat member in....practically every way.

And forever. Quiet's just a support buddy.

Then how come i see on youtube some poeple are using Quiet in the missions? Maybe the girl is someone else?

It must be a mod or something. You can play as females but they're just combat unit members you recruit or save.

So is there a reason or an insentive for me to use other soldiers instead of snake?

They're using a mod to swap in Quiet's model for Snake. It's been the most popular one on Nexus for a while now.

Alternately it could have just been a random female combat unit member.

To level them up to increase the unit level. Really though, just playing the game will net you staff members with better stats faster than playing as them.

Completing missions with combat unit members will level up their skills

Not really, the mod swaps a Sneaking Suit + Balaclava/HP- or SP-Headgear combo. If you are wearing this outfit as a Female Combat Unit, you'll "be" Quiet then. With all the female animations, voice, etc.
There WAS a mod swapping her with Snake, but... it looked ugly.

if u use other soldiers besides snake during missions (not side-ops, tho i could be wrong) they will level up.

Excessive demon points will paint snake blood red... this does not effect combat unit soldiers.

snakes statline is the base...
meaning a ++S soldier will be better then an un-adjusted venom snake.

many of the skills exceed the capabilities of venom snake even with the fully upgraded arm. for instance botonists will gather 25 parts to each plant while a fully medical upgraded arm snake will only pull 20 from a plant.

I bet if you try really hard, you could make your avatar look like quiet.

Mine is a spooky skeleton.

Is there a way to get rid of the demon points?

I've been hoping that the first line was the case. I've gone through the entire game going non-lethal. I don't want to become a demon, but I wanna use my lethal weapons.

Yes, save animals rescue hostages don't kill, basically do nice stuff
