FAQ
Q: I like most of your changes, except for <xxx>. Can you make a version just for me that doesn't have <xxx>?

A: No.


Q: Hey, can't you split up your mod into 20 different pieces so everyone can pick and choose?

A: No.


Q: Can you give us a set of ini switches to turn single feature on/off at least?

A: Reasonable request, but sadly not possible in most cases. For example, i could give you a switch to turn off the attachments, but you'd still have all the changed texts and some other ini settings left that would mess your game up. If i can reasonably add something to give you a choice, i will do so. But the features are interlinked in many cases and i can't rip some of them out without breaking others. I am aware that this a deal-breaker for some people, but that's the drawback of an overhaul compared to just some minor changes here and there. Sorry. I think it's worth it, but you are of course free to disagree and subscribe to something else instead.

Q: Will you upload this mod to the Nexus, Dropbox or similar because of <flimsy excuse>?

A: Just buy the game, filthy pirate.


Alright, with that out of the way, here's the actual FAQ:

Q: Compatible with other class mods?

A: Technically, yes. If it fits mechanically, you will have to decide for yourself. It probably won't and i suggest not using other class mods.


Q: Compatible with the reboot of Grimys Loot Mod?

A: I guess? It's reaaaaally against the spirit of my mod, though. Also, even if it's compatible now, i can give no guarantees that it stays compatible. Chances are, i am going to change up the loot lists sooner than later and then it won't be. I suggest not using GLM with ABB.


Q: Can i subscribe mid-campaign?

A: Technically you can. There are two caveats, though. First, please do so while you are in the Avenger and not mid-mission. Second, existing soldiers will not be affected, leaving you with a hybrid of old and new perk trees. I strongly suggest starting a new campaign.


Q: What if i don't like the Psi system?

A: When you go into Tygans lab, you will see two research options, one "Confirm ABB psi" and one to "Use vanilla psi". Choose the one you want. Note that this choice is final, there's no going back from it.
