Don't know the ring, but the transistor is used to make a limited use "gently caress right the gently caress off" or alternatively a "Come at me bro" device for the Nightmare. I really dislike how it's activated, as your nigh guaranteed to completely waste two charges on it eventually. Fruit is just fruit, nothing more afaik. Quest is repeatable tho.

I wasn't killing everyone, but I probably didn't talk to all the peeps in the cargo bay before they moved to lifesupport and became completely unresponsive on my playthrough. . Probably the same thing for the second item. I grabbed it the first time you can get to Hardware Labs and hoped something would pop asking for it, but it never came. Next playthrough I'll wait for it to be a quest target, I guess.

First item A wedding ring - One of the guards in the cargo bay asks to look for his wife, she's in elite section of crew quarters, turns out she's a phantom, so you kill her and bring him the ring Second item satellite psychotronic transistor - If you evade Nightmare January can give you this quest, you pull the antenna from satellite in hardware lab, attach it to satellite flying around outside and can send away or call Nightmare by playing special audiologs Third item superfruit. is just a healing item, restoring full health and psi, even though quest directs you to make just one, you can repeat that process and get multiple of those.

January is such a dick. 'Did you even hesitate Morgan?' Yup. Only long enough to read his criminal record, get the armoury code, check it worked, then pull out my shotgun.  I think the code is a static one, so that's one guy who won't be leaving Talos I alive during any of my playthroughs, on general principle.

Fartbox posted:Can you guys tell me why you're enjoying the game? Just give me a few good reasons why this is a good purchase I'm liking that the station is plausible in a lot of ways. There's a lot to the setting that makes it easy to believe that the station could be real, people have plausible conversations with a lot of attention to detail, and the station sorta makes sense for navigation with memorable layouts. (At least the Lobby and the Arboretum/Crew Quarters made sense to me. I feel like it was weird that the bridge and deep storage were connected to the arboretum. Anyways, it's a world that sorta makes sense, which makes it fun to explore.

It heavily rewards using your head, being creative, and exploring. It's the perfect level of complexity. It's a game with an achievement for recycling yourself.

Fartbox posted:Can you guys tell me why you're enjoying the game? Just give me a few good reasons why this is a good purchase Sure, there's the usual everything-proof glass and shutters here and there, but it usually makes sense ( security rooms, engineering, etc. ) even places where people have barricaded themselves aren't a problem. Got strength mods? Just pull the barricade apart. Got a recycling charge? Slap it on the side of a barricade, and make it disappear. Can see the room from elsewhere? Build platforms with the GLOO gun, smash the window, and climb in. The room has no roof? GLOO gun, climb over the wall and jump on in. See a sliver of a larger enemy through a gap? Shoot him, run like hell, and let him smash it all down for you. Personally I haven't touched hacking or alien abilities yet, but there's plenty to do with those too.

It's not perfect but it's fun to explore the station and see what I can find  The setting is very cool but I'm pretty sure I've seen the big reveal at the end coming since maybe an hour in to the game.The flashback sequences when you first see the coral in G.U.T.S. immediately made me kind of figure out that I'm playing as one of the aliens living through the simulated memory of Morgan Yu, or something like that. and they're testing me to see if they can make the aliens feel empathy, since that's super heavily hinted at with all the moral decisions the game throws at you that don't seem to have any impact on the gameplay. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:01 on May 21, 2017 |

Just finished playthrough 1, and fully intend to do it all again several more times. For one thing, I got the big signposted signals that special things would happen if I didn't use Typhon powers, and so ended up beating nightmares to death with a wrench and a massive adrenaline high. I'll be excited to try out some more psych abilities in round 2. I really liked the ending sequence, especially how there were enough hints in research logs that you could understand where it comes from.

RatHat posted:Poltergeists are really cool, I wish they weren't such pushovers. I agree and feel this way about a lot of the enemies. There are a lot of intense moments when you encounter something that you didn't expect and they're executed without becoming jump scares, and that's great, but they feel wimpy when you actually fight them. Mimics would be cool as hell if they would stalk you around for a while, trying to move when you weren't looking, hiding as different objects as you turned around the room, and swarming together in numbers before attacking. Instead they're land-mines that spawn a headcrab.

Try to move the items that are disappearing in your inventory, some goon mentioned in the thread that it seems to be position based. I had it happen once in my playthrough, basically all of my Q-beam and Disruptor ammo disappeared. But by the time I had to use either and realized I had no ammo, my saves had cycled past it the original issue.

Truecon420 posted:There are several strong indicators that he's a fake. If you find a couple of the voice logs of the real chef (same name) they look completely different and sound different. He's also a shady dude (those scars, Russian accent like all volunteers) and the volunteer you can help in psychotropics warns you there's a dangerous volunteer on the loose). Alternatively there's a side entrance into the freezer before he lets you into in behind some cardboard boxes in the kitchen. I'm not sure but I think you can go in, find Foys body and figure it out that way. For the chef: There's also a photo of the real chef in his room (when you go to steal the award) that doesn''t look anything like the one that talks to you. You can also confirm by using the security station to track him and the waypoint will be back in the freezer on the real guy's body
