Feb 03, 2016 XCOM 2 is almost here! How Does the Character Pool work in XCOM 2? This video aims to explain that. I'll talk about how the Character Pool works, how to share your files, and import files from. For XCOM 2 on the Xbox One, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'How do we use the Character Pool?'
It’s now: when an XCOM game comes out, you recreate your friends, colleagues and record-collection-stealing former lovers then send them out to be murdered by aliens. Basically, it’s the Sims with Sectoids rather than sex.So let’s do it again: an Iron Man/perma-death diary starring the staff of RPS, who you can download and add to your game below.But they’ll only star briefly. Whenever someone dies, they’ll be replaced by one of this site’s readers. Who will also almost certainly die. That’s how much we love you.Before I go into how that works, let’s meet the starting team.
Full disclosure: I’ve already been through the tutorial, in which only Graham (and three randoms) was available, and after surviving that I purchased everyone else. Which leaves me with no cash in the attic for base renovations – let’s hope that doesn’t come back to bite me later. I then took Graham, Adam, Alice and Pip out on their first mission proper, Operation ICE FACE, more on which shortly.Everyone save Pip and John created their own characters, and they are all available to download and place in your own XCOM 2 pool – if you don’t know already.

My account’s waiting for approval at the time of writing, but I’ll also add and share that pool to once I’m in. In the meantime, you can grab any number of famous faces for your own game from there if you don’t like the look of our ugly e-mugs.Adam “Professor” SmithOur cowardly Manc has wound up being a Ranger – i.e.
Shotguns and swords. Which is ill-fitting someone who’d rather have as much distance between him and the aliens as possible.Alec “Sad Sack” MeerWhat am I sad about? Particularly my no-doubt imminent death, and also my awful hair. I haven’t been out in the field yet, as starting squad sizes are but four, so who knows what weapon I shall wield?Alice “Didn’t enter a nickname” O’ConnorIce Face incarnate, eh? I’m honestly wondering if Alice somehow had a hand in developing the character creator.
Initially her build was wearing a hat, but it was removed due to a last-minute panic that it wasn’t cool enough. She has been promoted to a Specialist, which means healing and/or hacking.Graham “Graham Smith” SmithTowering, shaggy-haired silence: this is XCOM 2’s character creator at its most eerily accurate. Sterling leader that he is, sniping-focused Sharpshooter Graham scored three kills in the tutorial alone, and as such already outranks everyone else.John “Papa Bear” WalkerJohn doesn’t do strategy games in any shape or form, and hence will never see the horrendous colour scheme I’ve slapped across his armour. He does sometimes wear a baseball cap in meatspace too, though. No missions yet, so class unknown. Let’s all pray it’s not a healer.Philippa “Three Ps Dammit” WarrAlice built Pip, so I take no responsibility whatsoever for that hat.
I was seriously considering bouncing Pip off the team after she scored six consecutive misses in her first outing, but then she took out two guys with one shot, so all is forgiven.Again, the team are all available to download and add to your own Character pool.This quartet proved their worth in Operation Ice Face, a mission to prevent Advent and their Sectoid chums from destroying some sort of communication beacon. It went suspiciously well: this was my first time playing XCOM 2 on Commander and Iron Man difficulty, and I was braced for a wipeout.
