So I started an Unrealistic play through on Shifter yesterday morning. It starts out like normal, same conversations and the same weapons. Until I get to start fighting the NSF on Liberty Island. I got absolutely gang raped by NSF members with pistols that shoot explosive 10mm ammo. Its like I'm playing a brand new game. A ridiculous game. Next your going to tell me that the MJ12 troopers shoot 20mm HE from their assault rifles(please tell me they do this because it will lead to hilariousness.)

Angry Diplomat posted:I could have sworn he mentions the financial information beforehand, when you're in his apartment. I'm playing through again with Biomod so maybe I can figure out what's up when I get to that part again. He may have, but when you do find the datacube with the satellite password info on it, he messages you and says "okay you have the password. Look around that room to find the proof you need to be convinced". I think it's pretty weak - it's the entire reason you're changing sides, and the designers didn't even put in a little datacube saying "Payment of one million dollars transferred to Manderley from MJ12"? Especially after the game explicitly tells me to look around that room for it?

There is a second datacube in the room. It mentions money being moved to a zurich bank account I believe.

Like other people have said, there is definitely a second datacube with the proof. Have a transcript:Datacube posted:Juan, I have a feeling that -- one way or another -- my time here is short, and I think my loyalties are already being questioned. The inevitable complications from the raid are only going to raise more doubts, so I've pulled together everything I could access without raising additional suspicions. Attached you should find information linking Simons, Manderley, and other high-ranking members of UNATCO through covert communications and a series of monetary payments. If you check the records, over c10,000 a month is being placed into an anonymous Zurich account routinely accessed by Manderley -- the payments were slick, being dispersed through a number of shell companies and orbital banks, but they all eventually originate with companies in which Simons has a controlling interest if you follow the trail far enough back. I also managed to document some of UNATCO's less than shining operations, including their role in the Statue bombing. Most disturbing is further verification of Tracer's suspicion that UNATCO may not only be involved with the distribution of Ambrosia, but also with the Gray Death in some way. I've given a copy of all this same material to Jock with orders to deliver it to Tracer if things get as bad as I think they might. Be careful.

It could be in either place because they moved it in the Game of the Year edition. Yes, even if you're patched up to 1.112fm, the original retail version still has the DataCube in a different spot.

I'm not quite as thorough OCD gamer as some of you and even though I found the vial I just ditched it not seeing or forgetting that I was supposed to help him out, then felt a little bad when I told him I couldn't get any for him. He's so gracious about it. "Ah don't worry about it." Or whatever he says. ALso I found out that Lucius is actually a really loving old Colonel Sanders.

Another alternate conversation some of ya might not know about : During your escape, you can stop by Manderley's office and chat with him and Walton. Snipe Manderley before you enter the room and you'll have a different conversation one-on-one with Walton.quote:WALTON SIMONS

That's probably the Manderley convo I have most. What sort of blew my mind was my third playthrough I let Manderley live, listened to his spiel, then kept talking to him after his cutscene. He eventually started saying something encouraging, but as I head toward the door I realized he had taken out a pistol and started shooting me. I only wish there were more of a reaction from the secretary instead of JC!

I stupidly missed the Blackjack on my non-lethal Biomod playthrough because I thought it appeared in Paul's apartment the second time you go to Hell's Kitchen.  Had to gently caress around with the cheats until I figured out how to spawn the damned thing, because hell if I'm going through a nonlethal playthrough with this piece of poo poo normal baton. I know I earned it anyway; I got the "I'm impressed" speech from Paul at the 747.Also, one of my favorite little-touch features in Shifter + Biomod is that redundant augmentation canisters can be used as upgrades. I just used the second speed/silent running canister to hit silent running level 4. I have a sneaking suspicion that I already know the answer to this, but is it even possible to knock out storyline enemies like Navarre? I sat around beating the bejeezus out of her with the prod and baton in an effort to save Lebedev, and she just turned around and shot me in the head until I died after I used up all 40 prod charges and all of my health kits. e: hahaha holy loving poo poo, I collected every single weapon mod I found and put them all on the same pistol, then gave that pistol to Mr. Renton. He blew JoJo's head off before he could even get out his gun

Looking at her code, Anna's completely immune to stun, knockout and poison damage. You did your best, soldier.  http://drop.io/retrofuture download Rodent.zip for a tweaked version of the candybar seen in my video. Blame GreatGreen. Once the 'dart' hits, it turns into a candy bar that you can eat to maintain your fighting figure. Really incompatible with the regular mini-crossbow unfortunately, don't try to have both on your toolbelt. I've tried to fix that, but I'm tired of looking at it for now.

I managed to confuse her into opening the door at UNATCO while also getting Miguel to ninja past, rescuing him without having to kill a single person on the way out. This is a satisfactory conclusion. I also had to barricade Manderley into his office with a couch when he went mental and started repeatedly trying to shoot my face.

Yeah, telling Miguel to try and get out on his own pretty much always results in him running directly into the most lethal thing in the immediate vicinity. You can just tell him to wait until you've cleared the whole level, then come back for him. You don't really have to "escort" him anywhere. In fact, I don't think you even need to wait for him to catch up with you - I think that whenever you enter a new area, the game just checks to see if Miguel is a) alive and b) following you, and if he is, it just plunks him down next to you.
