Guys I am stuck hard on early game hardware labs: I need to get Lorenzos keycard or something from his body and he is outside somewhere I can't get to. I explored every inch of the map available to me, got the jetpack and all but it seems I can't progress unless I have leverage 3 and I blew all my neuromods on inventory space upgrades. Am I missing some area to progress? please help

Whew, fought the Nightmare. My fully upgraded shotgun tore through him, but it was still pretty loving scary just going down a lift in Life Support and just having him waiting for me there out of nowhere. I have to assume it's gonna come back or there'll be more of them - it seems odd to have such a big bad in an out of the way place like that - I wasn't even doing the main story, just exploring a side area.

Lakbay posted:Who talks you through the main quest then? Nobody. And, like, I mean that. You get some minor direction from other characters who are hanging about, and Alex as usual, but other than that your plot direction is completely gone if you blow January and December away. It's the first time I think I have ever seen that happen. Even Oblivion, which prided itself on letting you kill anybody you wanted, outright wouldn't have any contingencies for the main quest if you killed one of the more plot-important NPCs.

I found december dead on my game. No idea when or how it died A better men than myself would start the game from the beginning, optimizing it to save more people.

I'm still at work so I can't try it but do you still have a main story entry in the journal or is that completely gone too if you blow up January

CJacobs posted:Nobody. not to hamstring prey here because i respect it for having it but morrowind, oblivion's predecessor, let you kill plot sensitive npc's with a little popup "you done hosed up", and included a way of finishing the plot through brute force even if you continued on. now, as to whether or not a player would legitimately be able to figure out how to do so without consulting a guide is probably more up in the air

Pretty hosed up that the best way to get organic material is probably to drag some human corpses together and drop recycler charges on them.

cheesetriangles posted: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. On my first playthrough, I didn't head to the power plant until the story led me there, so I had to kill something to enter. On my second playthrough, I went there really early, the door was unlocked and I could enter freely, and when the story had me going there, the door was still unlocked.

Whole pineapples and cans of ham and boxes of candy, all dumped down the endless gullet of Booker DeWitt.

That's my main resource bottleneck right now and most of the objects laying around don't seem to give much. Spare guns give a good amount but I'm more concerned with which non-inventory debris gives a good yield. There's always the resource glitch, but I'd rather have a specific item to look out for so I can play the game without abusing bugs the first time through.

I've found that the robots give decent amounts of metal. Those machines that summon them often have three charges, so you can summon two, recycle them, and then have one more to actually use.

Minerals are rare for everyone, even on my Typhon only playthrough now. I'd say thorougly explore the Shuttle Bay for lots of steel but I don't know any non-glitch way to get a bunch. Even making a mountain of metal objects and using a recycle grenade doesn't give much.

More morgue talk: Can you open the morgue doors to get at the bodies? Also, you can farm exotic materials by dragging bodies inside the live exam chamber.

How the hell can i repair my suit? Im only at the beginning, (lobby and hardware labs) but so far my suit is at like 10 and i havent found anything that i can use to repair it also its funny how my game belatedly pops up tutorials. I've entered the teleconferencing room for like the 4th time and it just now popped up a message about sneaking around or using the gloo gun... It did that as well with the 'get anywhere from here' pop up when i went back to the beginning of the lobby to see if i missed the two neuromods that were only in the demo apparently Watermelon Daiquiri fucked around with this message at 21:44 on May 9, 2017 |

Even with the bottleneck and playing on Nightmare resources haven't been much of a problem anyway, I haven't actually run out of ammo since towards the beginning of the game.

If not, an engineering operator will heal it back to full if you can find one.

When it comes to suit repair kits for the life of me I can't understand why you can't use them from the action wheel. You can trigger medkits and psi hypos there but to fill the third bar always visible on your screen you have to go to the inventory. It doesn't make sense.

Feels like a developer oversight or maybe suit integrity was really hard to lower in an earlier version. Speaking of earlier versions I was watching trailers and I saw an Oxygen bar come up on the UI. Is that anywhere in the game or was that scrapped?

The engineering operators are scattered around, but I know for sure that there's a dispenser for them in the hardware labs in the same large room that has the airlock.

I have a save file right at the end of the game. Is it worth hunting for achievements / side quests at that point or are there a number of things blocked off?

I haven't seen one yet after 12 or so hours, and thank gently caress for that. It's nice to be able to fly around outside the station and explore without another resource to manage. I get the feeling that the O2 bottles you see everywhere are a relic of a system they scrapped because they look like items you might collect more than the incidental recycling fodder that everything else is.

Nothing is blocked off even up until the very tail end. However with all the advanced enemies running around I'd say that getting around is too much of a pain in the rear end to be worth it at that point.

They work as explosives if you throw them, so they're still more than just recycling fodder even if they're a holdover from a scrapped oxygen system. There's also a voice in the shuttle bay saying to be careful about running out of oxygen, but your suit at least appears to have an infinite resource.

Prey owes more directly gameplay-wise to System Shock. It borrows visual aesthetics and narrative frameworks from BioShock while making them less
