Going through this game for the second time (first was nearly 7 years ago), and something I can't help but notice is how often the swearing in the voice lines just... doesn't match the subtitles? It's funny how many times the subtitles have said "Goddamn" just for the character to blurt out "Fucking". I'm up to the "Now That's An Idea" mission and I swear it happened about three times across the two cutscenes (with Addy and Rikki)

Small thing, but I just wanted to highlight it. Kinda funny.

I've used a Highlander on and off in a few runs. Namely the 732 and 732B variants; aka the ones with gauss. And don't get me wrong, I've gotten some work out of it (mostly in one career save where I alternated between it and an Atlas as my main Mech). But in more recent playthroughs, I'm starting to see the thing as just... underwhelming? Especially with how much I hear it praised. It feels like there's nothing it can do that at least 1 other Assault Mech can't do just as good if not better. It's slow, which the jump jets only help a bit in my experience, the big gun is in one arm that frequently gets knocked off first, and it just feels like a massive target (even if I know that it isn't any bigger than most Assaults). I can't imagine trying to use any variant that doesn't have the gauss rifle, because that's been its big draw point for me.

Am I tripping? Is there something about this Mech I don't get? Help me here, I really want to know.
