WOTC Even More Backstories

Did you know the base game has only 9 vanilla soldier backstories? This mod changes that.

WOTC Even More Backstories, aims to increase personal attachment and role-play within your XCOM campaigns with 479 new character backgrounds, with male and female variations.

• 316 new XCOM soldier backstories
  
• 48 new Reaper backstories
  
• 56 new Skirmisher backstories
  
• 45 new Templar backstories
  
• 14 new Engineer & Scientist backstories

The majority of content is community submissions and stories penned myself - together we have developed some interesting tales of survival & hardship in a dark ADVENT world.

This mod will only affect newly spawned rookies or reward soldiers who show up going forwards.

It will not overwrite or update existing soldiers in your roster or recruitment pool.

Birthdates WOTC - SUPPORTED: A custom date of birth range configured for each backstory.

Non-Skirmisher ADVENT Hybrids - SUPPORTED: 56 new hybrid backstories.

Biography on Armory Screen - Puts backstories on the Armory Screen.

WOTC Random Soldier Info - Lets you spawn a new random bio on your soldier.




Incompatible with any mod that targets [X2CharacterTemplate] - which basically means another backstory mod.

Compatible with all XCOM class mods.

Known issue with WC_PhotoRebooth: Soldier birthdates are corrupt. Please see the Discussions Tab for a fix.




2K broke the XCOM 2 launcher when they added promo advertising - about 50% of mods now randomly fail to load with it.

The community created a tool called the Alternative Mod Launcher[github.com] to fix this problem. Instead of launching by Steam, you simply launch with AML instead.

The actual backstories can be viewed in the Localization folder. Open XcomGame.Int with Notepad.




No translation exists at this time.

If you want to use this mod with a different base-game language, simply navigate to the install folder listed above. Change the extension of 'XcomGame.Int' to be .fra / .deu / .rus - etc.

Note the backstories will still be in English. Thanks to Pepitoxxx for this tip.




I mod occasionally. Curate a little. Sometimes even play XCOM.

Gameplay changes! CWG Collection, built for a Legendary Ironman experience.


Please kindly take a moment to rate up if you enjoy the mod. It helps visibility on the workshop and generally makes me feel happy about the 100+ editorial hours I've sunk into it. Thank you!
