Career mode rank

[LordBosse]

Is career mode rank green good? ended carrer mode with 117-ish k pts and have no idea if that is good or not, played with quite easy setting though... Casual mode one could say...

This thread is a bit old but the later posts are more up to date
I do not worry about score in single player games myself - but nope Green is not good

Veteran: 320,000 points
Elite: 480,000 points
Legendary: 720,000 points
Kerensky: 784,000 points

That information is long out of date.
I do not know if the ranks up to Elite have changed. but can confirm that the last two are:

Legendary: 640,000 points.
Kerenski: 760,000 points.

I as I said played very casually, my pts count was 0,30... Long story short, I play most games casually nowadays, I used to be very hardcore gamer...

To be honest, the only thing that matters is whether you enjoyed playing or not. ;)

At first I was stressed, I mean only 1200 days, but then I relaxed... But in all honesty I enjoyed the FP's more after the campaign :)
So time for another Campaign mode, the way I once again what to play the game :)

Yeah, my last Career the multiplier was 0.85. Definitely allows for a higher score. :)

(I'm quite annoyed that Ironman is worth a whole 0.2, because I'm never going to use that setting. /sigh)

[LordBosse]

hehe, same here if it worth that low
Ironman should maybe be worth 0,8-1,0, just a thought as it sound very difficult.

Iron man isn't a big deal, really. Sure, you could get hit with bad luck, but overall, the odds of that are pretty low if you have some experience with the game. And that's ignoring that you could always just alt-F4 out of the mission/game if you wanted to, with your last save then being the one right before you enter the mission (so you're not even locked into the mission). Of course, if you're going to cheat for point/achievement reasons, there are far easier ways to do it.

The biggest risk is something going wrong with a save and losing your game entirely. And that isn't something that's likely to happen either, so mostly it just saves you the hassle of deleting the excess saves that build up.

But if you're playing casually, having more saves is definitely more fun, lets you goof off more.

I play all games more casually nowadays after a severe depression due to my third unemployment, all good now I am... I used to spend all my waking time playing games such as ME, DA, BG, NWN, and ofc TW strategy games before that, now gaming for me is more fun as I'm playing more casually even if I can get hooked, like I have with this game :)
