Yeah, that's the skill. It... can be if your stats are high enough, but it's probably better to either do a little dance and pick up AC or just not use it. GH1 has fairly little stopping you from picking up every single skill in the game if you particularly feel like it.

I mean. Kroot aren't exactly known for their majestic aesthetics. Most of them, anyway. I'm sure there's some out there that ate enough artists or somethin'.

E: Speaking of which, do we know what happens when kroot nom on ethereals? I can't remember if that's a thing addressed or not.

Eh, they're sentient, iirc. Just not much beyond that.

And nah, they can live. We need them for our eugenics experiments. They just need to stay in the labs and breed for our enlightenment.

... didn't that quoted bit, like. Answer the question posed in response to it?

E: Actually, now it feels like that was an amazing example of exactly what the quoted bit said. If that was intentional, bravo.

Eh... still protectionism, yeh? Trump actually had a fair bit of the same line, anyway, iirc. The anti-corp thing. Pretty sure he flipped on it, but it was a thing. Sorta'. About as much as anything that's came out the guy.

Yeah, basically the one way to still pull off a reverse communion is have the master load down with various buff spells particularly chosen to make it so everything that attacks the slaves die before the slaves do.

It... usually isn't worth it.

Though I want to say there's also something with getting the master to rout off the map? Probably misremembering.

Thanks for the tips. I'll strip its parts and then sell it then.

Also my character suffers from 'Bad Mood'. I suspect that's because I let him got hungry, but I've fed him 3x since then but the bad mood hasn't gone away. What gives?

It can take some time. There's also more than one sort of food... iirc some can actually make your mood worse. Generally you want to stock up on... deluxe rations, I think it was? Or noodle cups, something along those lines. And maybe some chocolate. As those improve mood when you eat them. I generally just bought fifty or sixty of the things the first time I saw them and had the cash and stuffed most of it into a spare mech (and a handful in my primary -- SF:0 junk has barely any effect on SF:2 machines, so far as weight and whatnot goes). _{If you really want to know for sure, the food items are in PC_Equipment, if my memory's working. Fairly straightforward to read, too, at least for those ones.}

There's also a number of other things that can cause it. Bad conversations or combat/mission failures are probably the most common (and sewer runs probably the thing you'll eventually be inflicting on yourself regularly). One of the reasons you put a point into... whatever the conversation skill was... and then talk to everyone until their bar gets. I want to say yellow? Never actually tap it out, as that will usually make relations (and your mood) worse. Anyway that'll get your convo thing to five or so without investment fairly quickly, after which talking to people a lot will help with your mood a bit.

If you really want to get rid of it, there's a town in the upper-middle part of the green part of the world map that has hot springs -- a dip or two in that'll fix you right up, if you've got the cash for it. Easily the fastest way to recover from sewer runs, heh, and once you start doing those with much regularity/depth the cost is pretty trivial.

Eh, it mostly seems to be because dk64 isn't just a period collect-a-thon, it's a collect-a-thon's collect-a-thon. It probably took things a little too far. Five characters, each with basically an entire other game's set of (generally more or less identical and color swapped) collectables. And there wasn't just one sort. All told there was like three or four sets per character, iirc, coming out to more or less fifteen or twenty different masses of junk to pick up... usually per level. In retrospect and with that reminder a bit ago, I can see now that it was a bit... bloated.
