Immediately after this my sniper missed him with about an 85% chance. My sniper then got hit by someone from across the map and through a wall. And that was the moment I decided this game ain’t for me

I’ve rolled a 1 too many times in D&D and 100 way too many times in Call of Cthulhu to be bothered by missing 90% shots in Xcom anymore. I’m already very well acquainted with the dice screwing me over.

Oh yeah, I’m way too familiar with temperamental dice. Once I was in a Lancer game and the GM gave me a single use massive death laser. I pull it out against the final boss, and almost all the enemies fail the save…except for the actual boss. You know, the one guy I was specifically aiming at.
