Took the lift back to the lobby for the first time and I'm greeted with a weaver and a nightmare right outside the lift exit. gently caress.

Alex leaves a functional one for himself of course, because he's a fat jerk.

I still don't think anybody has explained to be what October is or that whole tape in Alex's secret compartment at the end that "Morgan" made, does anyone have an answer for that?

I really hope they patch in a rebind for the quick menu wheel. I prefer how I have it in Dishonored (TAB). It's also odd that it's a toggle in Prey while it had to be held down for Dishonored.

Kontradaz posted:I still don't think anybody has explained to be what October is or that whole tape in Alex's secret compartment at the end that "Morgan" made, does anyone have an answer for that? Basically a lot of the times he (or she) got his memories reset, Morgan developed suspicions that his brother would take steps to keep him locked in the simulation forever. In order to prevent that, Morgan built a secret operator to guide himself to freedom, and remind himself of what he wanted his future amnesiac self to do. That's what January is. There were two problems though, the first is that each time his memories got reset, he forgot that he had already built a secret operator, so he ended up building another one. This is why you see emails in the hardware section talking about how Morgan keeps requisitioning more operator parts and nobody knows why. He keeps building new operators. The second problem is each time he got his memories reset, his personality was somewhat randomized as well, so the instructions he gave to the operator he built were also different. This is why December is telling you to escape the station, while January is telling you to destroy it. So basically October was another such operator. Exactly what instructions Morgan gave to October is unknown, because for some unknown reason October doesn't exist anymore. Maybe it was never activated or completed, maybe it was discovered and destroyed by Alex, but it was just another January / December style message from Past Morgan attempting to circumvent his memory loss from the sim tests.

Looks like the Polygon review is pretty positive with an 8.5. It's a bog-standard Gies review so its dry as hell and not all that interesting to read, but they apparently docked the console versions for technical issues. I'm on PC and have yet to encounter a bug, but I do have a friend who wants to get this on PS4. Is the input lag enough for me to tell them to wait for Arkane to fix it?

Yes, there's really bad deadzone drift and the sensitivity even on super low settings is too much on PS4

Yeah, when it came out, it had Dishonored etc's blurb about how you can custom tune the difficulty/UI and such like you can in those games but that's nowhere to be found. Someone earlier in the thread was griping about that too like I am now.

I've been working towards completing the first side mission I found, "The Body Vanishes" or something like that. The goal is to recover something from Bellamy's corpse. I've gone through the Trauma Center, to the Hardware Labs, and am currently in Psychotronics. I had to spend some time on the main path to acquire keycards I needed to make progress, but otherwise, I've been railroading this side mission. I'm on Normal, and I'm playing primarily like a somewhat overconfident jackass, because I am. I'll gloo gun anything that moves, smack it down, and go on my way. I've got my shotgun upgraded to the point where I can one or two shot most phantoms I encounter. This all said, I'm starting to really get beat up here in Psychotronics. Is this to be expected? My supplies have gone from acceptable to near non-existent. My intent is to avoid spending any neuromods on the Typhon abilities. If this is dumb, or gimping myself more than I realize, let me know.

It didn't really bother me early on when there wasn't anyone around to talk to, but now Morgan being a silent protagonist is getting on my nerves in the same way as it did in dishonored 1. Like, that was one of the biggest improvements in dishonored 2, why did they gently caress this up in this game?

Anyone on the PC suddenly having audio issues? It seems that ambient music and random sound effects aren't playing like they used to. Like the hacking music and sounds are noticeably different from two days ago.

The only thing you're doing wrong is playing on Normal, you'll just murder everything as soon as you get a few neuromods in. Human-only is definitely doable, Typhon-only is kind of painful as mentioned above on this page, since that means no inventory expansion, no hacking, no repair, etc...

If you just want a hint: It's closer to where the game started than you might think. If you want to know the specific spot: It's in the closet right outside the simulation room, the one with the safe, computer, and creepy electroshock chair.

As to why people don't know about the Typhon, if people knew they'd want to know why and for what purpose dangerous shapeshifting creatures are being kept alive on the station. From there, well, you'd just need the entire station to agree that human sacrifice is a-okay, then hope they don't put two and two together with regard to what exactly they're injecting directly into their brains.

The only other person there really is to talk to on the regular is Alex, and while it is kinda awkward to have him ask direct questions and the player doesn't respond a la Gordon Freeman, I feel like it was a fine tradeoff to avoid Morgan having redundant conversations with him/herself every half hour.
