Wow, who says low kill runs can't be fun? When you can make a guy kidnap himself while projectile vomiting every half minute.

I had no idea you could possess people to remove wale oil tanks. But it does make so much sense. Except for the other guards not caring that one of them suddenly jerks up, starts shuffling towards the tank, removes the tank and then continues shuffling away out over a ledge and disappears.
They probably hated him anyway.

Shame I never thought of that in the 6 or so times I played through this game.

I've been as vague as possible but I'll remove this if it's still going too far.

iirc it's just the default message whenever you antagonise your allies - by throwing stuff at them, shooting them stabbing them etc.

You can also get the irreconcilable hostilities message by shooting them with firebolts. All the other means of harming people just get the loyalist conspiracy has been disbanded message.

Mirror's Edge kind of sounds like a "Coolguy is deathly ill but super bored while he's in quarantine" LP. :v:

Which, considering my terrible luck last year, sounds like something that could happen.

It's me I'm the celebrity. I'm going to be famous for killing a man by putting a bucket on his head and smashing it with a spoon for hours until he liquefies entirely.

That man will be Orv.

With the current interludes as evidence, Orv will just use that to death warp into a wall and then start pulling guards into it like some glitch black hole.

I have been slacking on my pulling the game apart, my bad. My next slaughter interlude will be just that, but I did in fact promise to break more projectiles and it'll happen. I just wanted to kill a lot of rich people.

The projectile vomiting thing reminds me of Postal 2, where you can urinate into someone's mouth, causing them to vomit, and then decapitate them so that vomit fountains out of the gaping neck hole instead.

It's not nearly as good a game, of course.

Brain In A Jar

I didn't see any mention of it in the thread, but did anyone ever release a mod or something that lets you view your mission stats mid-game?

I tried doing a ghost run of this game but had to give up after mission 2 or so because you ended up just keeping about 10 saves and having to go back and replay from each consecutive one until you found the spot where someone briefly saw you, and it was really unpleasant all around.

Generally, yeah. Sometimes you get detected though and there isn't really an outward indication you have. Most notable point with this is the very first mission. Avoiding notice by the guards on the wall after setting off the bomb is kind of a crap shoot, even if they don't start firing at you.

Which is why the prologue doesn't count for the ghost and shadow achievements. I honestly don't remember having much trouble doing a no kill no spot run.

I don't remember if it has been mentioned yet, but Sokolov would probably suspect Piero to send the assassin since he's making the main (and only) competing elixir against the plague. And since Piero got kicked out of the academy or whatever he likely harbors resentment.

Piero is indeed Sokolov's loudest critic so it would make sense. Sokolov is pretty aware that his lifestyle will eventually get him killed, I think he chases the Outsider in part so that he can avoid that fate.

Actually regarding Piero for a moment, anyone else get Nikola Tesla vibes from him? It didn't really hit me until the "obituary for Sokolov" thing, reminded me of the one Tesla wrote for Edison, only nicer.

Piero and Sokolov have a number of very obvious and I can only presume intentional Tesla and Edison parallels.
