If a safe has a code and belongs to a person, you can usually logically find it by looking through the person's emails or finding their body

Ending chat: Anyone else notice this at the very end of the game? Looks like it's another glimpse of operators. https://youtu.be/uEHJvCOLgmA?t=19m2s stillframe of it: http://imgur.com/a/a7IAO No Alex, and the monitoring screens are all smashed.

After that it's just the choice of whether you want to kill them all or take Alex's hand, no?

You being judged -> You being turned around -> You being turned back around -> The ending choice are all different animations that have to be loaded in. Again, it happens multiple times during the end sequence but that video is only in 30fps so it doesn't catch all of them.

Does the nightmare hunt you aggressively if you use Typhon powers a lot? I just finished an all-human playthrough on Hard, and only ran into it a few times, and even when I got its attention, I could more or less run away and hide round a corner without it being able to find me.

I found my first Nighmare as it spawned right in front of me. I don't think it got a chance to attack because I instantly popped a Combat Focus 3 and killed it with a max upgraded shotgun. That was a bit anticlimactic.

Got a bunch of upgrades to combat power/weapon damage/etc? Bump that thing up a notch. Someone doing a no power run or nothing that useful against the big bad? Have it at default. I still think it's crazy that one can basically 3-shot the Technomancer (i forget the real name) with a max upgraded shock pistol.

Gadzuko posted:There are three total books, and there's a lot of context clues that pin it down (I think). Here's what I've got: There's a loading screen hint which references the Evacuation as leading to a reform in the usage of recyclers, which implies that it was indeed some kind of grey goo incident. The dog's name in the first book is Aleeza which the author translates to "Joy", google says it could be either Hebrew or Arabic but the Hebrew specifically says Joy. The author mentions compulsory military service and drives a M35 truck in the story. Based on the Hebrew, the conscription, and the M35 (US military model truck), I'm going to say it happened in Israel. I think that Transtar North was a different thing, because that would be a weird name for an Israeli facility, but who knows. And Elazar is a Hebrew name. Theory checks out!

Evacuation and Ending Chat Since the whole thing is a sim to test a typhon/human hybrid, is it possible the Evacuation is the Typhon invasion of Earth that was implanted into the sim? The data on it is super vague and I don't remember if there's any dates on any of the text or audio logs

Do we really need to spoiler evacuation discussion? It's like 3 whole text files, a mention in an audio log and some lore in a loading screen. That said I did get the impression that it's the recycler tech running rampant. What I'm confused about is how the response seemed to involve attacking it with weaponry, how does that help with a deconstruction field running rampant?

I'm not going to spoiler since it's all speculation anyway. The weapons use confuses me too, but the third book flat out says it was a science experiment gone wrong. Maybe a rogue AI deconstructing things? The army just being dumb and dropping bombs on gray goo? Come to think of it, that setting would make for a good DLC.

Is there any way to tell if you have the new patch? Switching from beta branch to live didn't cause an update. Reloading steam did nothing, integrity check turns out fine. Did they just declare the beta stable and move it to live? I still have the issue and when I went "gently caress it" and started a new game. My game just froze 5 minutes in. This is the only game I have problems with. Everything is up to date I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

The "beta" patch has already released. If you're passing the integrity check in any way then you have the latest patch. Alternatively in the game folder you can open Game.log and check for "buildtime=[May 9 2017 16:37:11]"

I didn't read the patch notes, but with the exception of the shotgun, it's cheaper to make the weapon itself because you'll get the ammo AND you'll get a spare you can recycle. And usually the plan to make a weapon is cheaper than the ammo plan

Oh I should've looked harder, pistol and stun gun are cheaper to make than their ammo. Q-beam costs the same amount as its ammo

Going back a very long way, but I wonder if the obscure and subversive way of playing that one of the developers was talking about is to say "OK, I am a Typhon" and play like that - take only Typhon powers and kill all humans/friendly operators while sparing all Typhons you encounter. Would probably be pretty difficult, but should be doable especially on lower difficulties. Also, doing a pure Typhon playthrough is kind of frustrating because you lose out on the ability to expand your psi pool, inventory, and suit/psychoscope slot count. It seems like those abilities should've been put in a separate neutral skill tree.

I was trying to 100% the game in my latest playthrough but I went Typhon powers only and it looks like it's not possible. There's quite a few computers I haven't been able to access and corpses that I needed repair to get to. I'm hoping new game plus is released soon so I can cheese another playthrough. Question though: what's the deal with key pads that have all Xs instead of numbers? Is there anyway to get into these? I think hacking still works but it doesn't look like you can use the key code anymore.

I really like this game but the combat is the absolute worst part. I'm not even remotely spooked by the enemies despite the atrocious sound design *BWAMP*ing with the force of a goddamn orchestra whenever I get looked at so I generally conserve ammo by beating them with wrenches despite them wonkily flailing around me and occasionally throwing out a half-hearted slap like I'm not swinging for the fences in their face with a piece of construction equipment. The sound design loving sucks as well. Like, normally I don't pick nits but in this case... its a real issue, it loving sucks.

I did have a laugh at one bit though reading a log in which an engineer tech plugged a mimic pretending to be a resistor rack into a high energy device and it loving melted Apparently mimics were showing up way before things went to poo poo and barely anyone noticed. Just a couple notes to the effect of 'stop duping dumb poo poo' and 'huh weird two teddies'

After someone mentioned using mimic to access some rooms, I realized there are some which don't have any way in outside of that. There are exactly 2 rooms with Mimic only access. One is a Medbay with no info in it near the Magnetosphere. The other is Mikhalia's Room in Crew Quarters. Her terminal emails can all be found by reading them off the terminals of people she sent them too. Also Typhon powers clicked for me when I realized I didn't need guns because they were worthless anyway. Clearing your inventory of all the guns/not caring about picking things up for recycle made it work quite well. Rookersh fucked around with this message at 17:41 on May 13, 2017 |
