[WOTC] Shaken Scars are Back!
This is the War of the Chosen version, the non-WotC compatible version is here:
[Non-WOTC] Shaken Scars are Back!
Yes, the little feature which slowly turned the naive rookies you started the game with into grizzled looking veterans by the end is back. See the Unfortunate Rk. Flores above, sporting one of the vicous scars from the Alien Hunters DLC after her brutal first mission.
Sadly, shaken soldiers gaining a random scar (if they weren’t already scarred) disappeared with the patch which accompanied the release of "Anarchy’s Children".
This loss was a bug not a conscious designed choice by Firaxis btw, since the code was still in place, but deffective due to a change elsewhere. In fact with War of the Chosen, they specifically still do a shaken check, even though "shaken" no longer exists in WotC, simply for the random scar! Still didn’t fix the bug though. This is not linked at all to the new "shaken" status linked to the fatigue system. To the end user, it means some, but not all the time when a solider is gravely wounded.
The XComShakenScars.ini file can be edited to makes scars more frequent if preferred. Comments included in the file.
Special Thanks to the lovely Guadalupe FLores, who due to a fortuitously timed save became the repeated "crash test dummy" while working on this mod.
