Shooting out of vision barrels
Lomaster:
Right now every character class has to invest some points in perception in order to shoot barrels less lethaly to oneself (especialy in low light conditions). And I'd like my short-sighted character to be able to spot a barrel take a couple steps back and shoot at the barrel (barrels can't move, how in the holy hell can one miss them if they know their position?)

Go get a Nerf gun, set yourself up in a room with a box or whatever on the other side of the room, turn the light off (or close your eyes) and see how many times you can hit it. Bet ya it won't be a lot.

Just tried it with a BB gun. You're right it was 5 out of 10. Still 50% hit rate though.

I'm also a bit underwhelmed by the low chance to blow up barrels out of vision. It means that most of the time you can ignore them, since there's too little chance to set them off by accident, the aliens won't touch them either, and if you could blow it up to make life more easy for yourself, you are likely to be caught in the blast as well.
That one time I found a shotgun though? That was a blast =)

Wait a minute, are you saying it actualy is possible to damage barrels out of vision? I confirm that shotgun but after firing 12 pistol rounds at a barrel it remained undamaged. I guess i'll just have to experiment with more weapons.
