And this marks the first time in OT2 where I can say: please read the FAQ in the OP which covers this question in detail
Not as much as flying. The Skell's vehicle mode does change the way you perceive the scale of the space - especially in Sylvalum - but the flight module makes the world seem so small. It's not a bad thing, necessarily - flying over entire continents is a great feeling - but I do think it was the right decision to only introduce the mechanic at the tail end of the main story.

Bleh, no love for the Ovah and the Orpheans.
So sorry, read the OP after posting the reply and realising I was dumb.And this marks the first time in OT2 where I can say: please read the FAQ in the OP which covers this question in detail

The game is designed with Skells in mind. I feel naked without it.
Seriously, not really. After a certain point in the game, there's absolutely no reason not to use a Skell unless you can't enter a small cave or something.
And here I am just finishing up.
Total playtime: 178 hours and 24 minutes.
Does anything special happen at 100% survey rate, or am I done outside of killing some of the hard to find Tyrants?
Well done.
I don't think I'll be able to do this though

No worries, just do the old CTRL+F or whatever the equivalent is on your machine of choice and type in things. No need to read the whole thing (even though it's very easy to browse now^^)

Damn, we made it to OT2!
Unfortunately, I'm in Jamaica with family, so I won't be back exploring in Mira until next week. I'm really behind.

go to the blade barracks to see a special message
The Zigs you actually have to kill are fairly low level and you should be able to take out single level 20 enemies too.
All I could say is explore/do quests and look for things near/above your level (still within purple colour range) and about your size. Avoid fighting too many things at once obviously.
When I played, I naturally explored the world, picked up quests and completed them and fought an enemy or two to see what they could do. That kept me within the level requirements and so I wasn't getting too devastated.
I was around level 20 for that chapter. Chapter 6 = Level 24 or so. Chapter 7 = Level 28 or so. Chapter 8 = Level 31. Basically I kept going up 3 or 4 levels until I ended the story at level 45. Don't take this as the key example as I had ideas to what I was doing and knew what to expect.
Something to keep in mind would be exploiting your enemy's weakness. For humanoids, they're typically weak to beam weapons. For theroids (beasts), they're weak to fire (but I don't think you'll have thermal weapons in abundance) and ether. Piscinoids (things like flying fish) are weak to electricity. Some enemies are exceptions so it doesn't hurt to read the enemy index if you have the info. If not, the usual framework for weaknesses applies to the category of enemy for most cases.

Did you expect something good?
You can kill enemies of 4-5 levels above you in this game as long as you're decently geared and they're not big/tall type (otherwie prepare yourself, fight can be tough).
yeah, I killed one earlier and quite easy. now I'm going to 2nd and 3rd one and there's a bunch of level 21-24 enemies in narrow path (with Eye and Lighting icon)
thanks for the pointer
I actually trying to rush chapter 5th and 6th to acquire the skell/license
ah, I actually haven't customize my gear. just equip monster-dropped-one, whichever has the highest stats
I also brought an underleveled character @15
Doing the BFFs quest and it's made me explore a lot more of Noctilum and Oblivia. What's most apparent now about the environmental design is just how dense it is. Areas have several layers and every path is sprawling.
The continents probably aren't that big if we're talking 2D size.

Woot! OT2!
Well boo on me for wanting it to be functional and look cool. If only White Reaper didn't have the same head as Mastema 50. I'll make due.
I'm still sitting at 80% because I decided to farm Global Nemesis for parts. Enough's enough, I'm gonna go insane.

Trying to do Celeste Three mission.
I will complete it once I reach higher level.
*enter the cave*
Die! Briggs!
*defeat Briggs, the other two show up with their skells*
Fuck!
*load save, leave the mission behind*

Yeah, the way I see it is because I'm not just straight-up grinding for levels like I do in some RPGs, but just killing enemies while exploring / doing missions, and sometimes killing challenging tyrants, the easy story missions are just a reward. Fast Travel to the navigation marker and mop up, lol.

That face when you're trying to target a single enemy and your teammates use the giant laser beam art followed immediately by the spinning bullet shower...
LOL. That mission was great. Got more fucked up by the indigens in the cave itself though. Bless Shadowrunner.
there had better be some payoff for the 4th key

I'm correct in believing this game has no autosave feature, right?
I was on the Blade kiosk updating my avatar as a scout when I lost connection. It dropped me directly to the main menu without giving me the option to save or anything. It just froze for a moment, said connection lost, and the crashed to main menu.
I lost three hours of progress.
Fuck whoever programmed it to do that. Fuck whoever decided against autosave, and fuck everyone else who went along with it.
If there is a secret menu to enable autsave, please let me know. I had purchased and upgraded all new gear and had finished quite a few quests when this happened...

Yeah, it sucks. I lost like 6 hours of farming a few days ago, but it turned out for the better.
I just personally made it a priority that whenever I'm in the barracks (usually to refuel my skell), I save before leaving.
