Serf posted:Last night I found my way back into the Neuromod division and discovered a whole second floor of stuff I missed the first time! I was in Halden Graves' office trying to get the neuromod licence DRM removed, and after I did it, the Nightmare spawned. January said something about "installing alien neuromods" which I have not done. So far I've gone 100% no-psi (except for the slowdown ability, but I picked that up after this event). Anyways I saw the Nightmare's awareness indicator way off in the distance, but it never got close. Just hung out there until it despawned. I'm a huge coward, so I'm glad I didn't have to fight it. This happened to me too- I think the action you take is meant to trigger that event, but the dialogue that is also triggered isn't really specific to the circumstance. There is more than one but the satellite will make em run off (or appear)

I got 60 Organic Material and every fabrication plan that I have that uses Organic Material also uses Metal and I see no reason to use metal to craft anything other than more Neuromods. Are there any useful plans later on that use organics but not metal?

Radaway used organics and no metal, but it uses all of 1 organics so basically you will never run out of it.

Anybody here dislike the demo but enjoy the full game? I'm trying to understand why people are making GBS threads on the demo, technical issues aside. I loved the demo (found 17 neuromods). It demonstrated most of the game's strength. The interconnected world space, the systems interactions, the exploration, etc etc I don't get how you have a bad reaction to the demo but enjoy the full game (which I've seen several people do, for reasons not related to controls/consoles). Was it that people had different expectations for what it was (e.g., a mundane FPS)? Something their first impression didn't live up to?

Soda contains exotic material. Exotic material come from the aliens. The aliens come from aliens eating the volunteers. They kill people to make more aliens, to farm these aliens for exotic material, to make more soda bottles (and stuff like the neuromods) Soylent Green is people!.

Maan, I wish I wasn't such a massive pussy when it comes to horror games. Prey is loving amazing and it's the kind of game I usually would binge on for a long time but I'm constantly finding excuses to take breaks from it because I'm too spooked by the possibility of getting spooked. Even the Psychoscope with the first chip you find isn't helping me as much as I thought it would.

Being able to create stairs with the goo gun seems p. broken so far. That and being able to pick up a leverage 1 item and throwing it into a leverage 2 to move them also seems broken.

I finally came across Walton Goggins in the game. I like how the "choice" you could make there wasn't really called out as such. You can help the guy out, or read his rap sheet and decide not to. I'm not sure if it will lead to anything later on, but the fact that you could just wander by and not do anything was pretty cool to me.

uber_stoat posted:I don't know if the crew quarters people every actually go there so you can talk to them, but there is a survivor hideout in the cargo bay. I don't think they do go where you mention, I took a trip there right before the ending to check again, in case of any dialogue. Do they all end up on the shuttle if you take the evacuate option at the end? I wonder if many people will just totally miss the ending sequence and final choice after the credits, and just assume the ending is super super short? I nearly did and would have been really let down if I hadn't waited. Perhaps I should put that in the op. I liked the ending, very neat, I guess it broke the 5th wall. And it could go into a sequel with a neat premise. Seeing how humans and Typhon interact with the hybrid Morgan (?) could be interesting.

I'd already opened the armory with my crossbow before I even turned the corner to speak with him and he was like, "oh, I was gonna trade you the code but I guess you're good, huh?" I let him out because leaving him locked up next to the rapidly expanding alien murder web felt tantamount to killing him.

I wonder if the secret ending is "beat the game without attacking or killing anything". For those who have finished it, does it seem like pacifist run would be even remotely possible on, say, the easiest difficulty? Or are there forced fights that have absolutely no way to bypass them?

I THINK you have to kill one thing because I couldn't find another way There's a technopath blocking the door to a plot required path but there might be another way that I didn't find

Does taking typhon neuromods lead you to a "bad" ending or something?

What type of neuromods you take barely affects the ending. If you want cheevos though stick with human then do a typhon only run since they rolled them both into one cheev

I wonder if the Looking Glass tech is partially based on Typhon tech, the inventor seems to go more and more insane due to the screens, and the phantoms ask about what you see in the glass.

I did the same thing and then let him out as well. He was appreciative, but didn't actually leave the room to go down to the cargo bay like other surivors. Much later on I came back through the same area and he was still standing there, but a phantom had spawned in the same room which killed him before I realized what was happening.

Asproigerosis posted:What's the best pro gamer tip for technocrats? They are munching my butt right now. Don't forget to scan everything, it will tell you if a monster has immunities or weaknesses. For Technos I go with an EMP grenade to open, then it's abilities don't work and it floats around like an idiot while I shoot it with a shotgun.

I've got an OCD inspired question about scanning. I've scanned everything except I'm missing one rank in one thing, which I'll put in spoilers: The Corrupted Device scan, I'm missing one. It says it's something that's corrupted by a nearby Technopath's influence. The only one I've seen was the door you can't go through in Life Support before you kill the nearby Technopath. This isn't the same thing as the Corrupted Operators. Does anyone know where a second instance of this Corrupted Device would be? Does it occur in a non-hard coded situation if there's a Technopath nearby? It's the only scan I seem to be missing at the moment. Thanks!

The game engine renders the mirrors using portals that is somewhat how the mimics can mimic in the lore. But thats just a happy coincidence.

Crustashio posted:Is it normal when you enter the crew quarters from the arboretum that the game spawns a nightmare directly in front of you? I had no choice but to kill that thing, thankfully the gloo gun + shotgun seems to work well. This happened to me too, haven't been speccing correctly and am pretty underpowered (human only neuromods) but still trying to plow through the game. Kept getting my rear end beat. Backtracked to find a bunch of areas now have harder guys, futzed around for a bit then went back and it was gone. Now I'm replaying Crew Quarters because I found out you can save the mind controlled crew members after killing half of them. Despite all that I still loving love this game, it really does feel like SS3. All the frustrating stuff is part of the learning experience for the next playthrough.

If you're going human only I think the best route after getting max inventory space is maxing out gunsmith and security weapon damage so the shotgun does something like 120 damage per shot

Feels Villeneuve posted:Fun intro thing Yeah I noticed that too. I was stacking all sorts of things there to see what would change. I have to imagine you're overworking that electrician to death as she has to keep coming back on stage when you ride the elevator back down. It's so weird to think the elevator is just sitting there while everything moves about.

I'm not sure any enemy is actually required to be killed. Can you bypass the elevator and never use it by just taking a long way round with trips through the guts? During my second playthrough a technopath locked down the power plant when going thru life support but that didn't happen on my first playthrough. Regarding the ending If you destroy the station instead of using the nullwave device you can simply knock out alex with a stun gun and not kill him. The null wave you have to kill january so that's not a valid option.
