xcom-2
In the previous XCOM game, when I had a unit selected (either friend or foe), I could bring up information about them. It would tell me current buffs, debuffs, etc that they had.
I haven't been able to find anything like this in XCOM 2. Does it exist?
After getting your squad together, if you rename your squad member in the customization settings, if you change the name to a specific name the game will make it a "special" XCOM hero. There are two others you can get as XCOM heroes, all discovered through the default.ini configuration settings:
;SUPER SOLDIERS!!
;Sid Meier BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier1_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier1.ARC_Head_Supersoldier1",
Gender=eGender_Male, Race=eRace_Caucasian, SpecializedType=true)
;Beaglerush BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier2_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier2.ARC_Head_Supersoldier2",
Gender=eGender_Male, SpecializedType=true) ;VanDoorn
BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier3_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier3.ARC_Head_Supersoldier3",
Gender=eGender_Male, SpecializedType=true)
So basically, you just need to rename your squad member to either:
In order to get an XCOM hero!
For reference, Peter Van Doorn is a famous NPC you can rescue in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.. Sid Meier is a famous developer who is the creator of the Civilization series and director of Creative Development for Firaxis Games. Beaglerush is a famous XCOM streamer and youtuber.
There are several mods that do this or something similar:
The True Concealment mod makes timers only start counting down once you've been revealed.

The presence of Buffs / Debuffs can be seen in the lower-right of each units' selection icon. For enemies, this is the icon you get when you have sight on them. For your own units, this is in the lower left, by their name.
Hovering over this icon will show what buffs/debuffs are currently active.
