Hello, I have the same issues as the other people, and I have tried everything. I believe it works for you because you have Enemy Within. For us ppl without it, it doesn't work. D: Steam steamapps common XCom-Enemy-Unknown XcomUberMod XCOMModHelperxcommodhelper.exe -x ': Steam steamapps common XCom-Enemy-Unknown' -c EWconfig.xml. XCOM: Enemy Within introduced several new toys for the player to use, including the ability to genetically modify your soldiers. Most of the new gene mods are straightforward but there are still a few that leave out a detail or two. XCom: Enemy Within: Stronger, Faster and Somewhat Better XCom: Enemy Unknown was both one of my favorite games of last year and one of my most disappointing. A remake of the classic X-Com UFO Defense, the game modernized the design of the original, but left out a lot of the depth that made X-Com so engaging.

I bought on Steam both XCOM Enemy Unknown and its expansion Enemy Within. When I launch the game it lets me choose if I want to play Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within.

There is any reason to play without the expansion first?

You should play Enemy Within.

Xcom

The expansion simply adds new upgrades, options, mission types, etc. to the base game; the basic story progression does not change. Thus, there's no compelling reason to play Enemy Unknown if you own Enemy Within, unless you really don't like something it adds to the game.

Don't get me wrong, I love XCOM 2, but when I was playing Enemy within, there was more stuff it seemed like.

Enemy Unknown Vs Enemy Within

Meld was so cool, MEC troopers were so cool, sending my meld'ed up sharpshooter with pistol skills and a battle scanner to spy on Exalt, then picking her up with my army of alloy shivs was so cool.

The only cool gadget moment I had in XCOM 2 was having my gunslinger run through a wall to face off a metric ton of enemies, who were then killed by my bladestorm ranger. There weren't any moments where I was like 'oh shit I can attach a giant laser gun to my robro?'

I've beat XCOM 2 a few times and I just never have any 'that's some cool stuff' moments, all the gear seems pretty tame compared to unlocking a skeleton suit for the first time, or the archangel armor, or shivs that can go beat up chryssalids without getting zombied.

TL;DR why are there not many cool gadgets and gizmos in XCOM 2?
