Yeah guts has air but no gravity, hence the big fans to keep the air moving and breathable. Shuttle bay meanwhile has gravity but no air. Positional audio would have been great, I wish this game had it but considerings how badly it did with regular audio...

I've been tempted to do that run next time I play, but going full Typhon without taking any of the scientist tree stuff that lets you upgrade your Psi or Psychoscope sounds like a real pain in the rear end. Not sure how I would do that besides just rushing straight to the quest that lets you drug the water

I started off as a human mod only run. The way the ammo and resource management in this game really gripped me. I always managed to run REAL close to running out of pistol and shotgun ammo before running into a new fabricator. Yes, I COULD have used all the mineral blocks on neuromods if I used the wrench more often. No, I WON'T because I'm a big ol scaredy baby who needs more bullets than the national guard before I enter the next room filled with coffee cups and phantoms. Fantastic balance!

I had over 80 neuromods in my inventory for a long while because I was uncertain of what to commit them to.

Yeah the balance of the progression and scarcity has really impressed me, this is probably the best I've ever seen it implemented in a game. There's a great transition from focusing on just being able to deal with individual enemies to focusing on having the necessary materials and resources to continue progressing. Despite being crazy powerful compared to where I started I still don't feel particularly overpowered because I just don't have the resources to go completely ham like a regular FPS.

It's funny how I'll make sure to have +70 shotgun shells and +100 pistol rounds on me when I leave a replicator and get really antsy when either of them drop to - 40/20. Although I'm doing a no-needles run and I really wish I could get a bigger inventory. Can't I fabricate a bigger backpack plz?

Nope, if you want a bigger backpack you gotta jam at least four needles in your eyeball.

The in game document "neuromod application instructions" says you have to hold the neuromod in your eyeball for five minutes. Isn't that weird? In the game it's like you can do it as fast as reloading a gun.

I'm sure this has already been asked, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers. Is there a simple spoiler-free guide on getting the endings? I just got to Aaron and considering if saving him is really worth it. If if 'influences' which ending I get, I guess I should walk away for now and come back later just before finishing up so I can easily choose between the endings? Again just trying to figure out how to get closest to the end as possible before dedicating myself to an ending. At this point I assume I could side with December, January or Alex. edit: Oh I see I can't walk away. Is this where I need to choose which ending to go towards?

Alien goo probably interacts with an alien differently than it does with a human brain. Considering it is all a simulation, who knows if you even need the drat things to transform. Needing to collect neuromods could just be a side effect from thinking you are human. KPC_Mammon fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jul 3, 2017 |

I've finished my "no-needles" run. That became a chore by the end. Is a Typhon-only run fun at all? The no needles got annoying at the end as I really wanted more inventory space, health, stealth, mobility or offensive capabilities, basically all the fun stuff that humans get. Also are the psionics unlocks in the scientist tree considered human upgrades y/n?

I think Prey would be an OBJECTIVELY better game if your inventory, suit chip, and psychoscope chip CAPACITY upgrades were craftable upgrades that you find schematics for instead of neuromods. It's weird that you'd spend neuromods to be better at packing your suitcase or sewing more pockets on to your space pants when it's competing with super speed, super strength, or mind-lightning. Making them equippable items that you craft used existing systems but keeps the neuromods more thematic, IMO. Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jul 3, 2017 |

my main idea to improve the game is to make increased weapon damage mainly be by finding better guns, instead of using neuromods to increase the damage on your small arsenal. I always hate the latter system, it doesn't make sense that increasing some skill makes your guns more powerful, even if it's a gameplay abstraction

I'm trying to do The Cook's Request and I think I've hit a bug. When I met the chef for the first time, after clearing the canteen, he was just giving me his key card and I accidentally shot at him, which made him run off and failed the quest. So I loaded the last save, got his key card and didn't shoot at him, but when I go to the mission marker for "Chef's Room" it won't let me open the door, as it says I don't have the key. Going back to him doesn't help, he still wants the item from his room. I'm not going to be able to finish this side-quest, am I?

Haha, wow, finally beat it and I totally called the ending after reading one of the notes about it. Also I would like to add it is dumb as heck they grade you on how many mind-controlled humans die because the environment killed them, not me! I specifically shocked all of them! Assholes.. I also really like that you can use the personal escape pod and don't have to join the other folks if you decide to blow up the station. Just the great sorta attention to detail I love about Arkane. Any chance of them rolling with the same, cool patches they did for Dishonoured 2?

The different endings require entirely different choices throughout the entire game, there's not much point in trying to hold on to a savegame so that you can get all of them. You have to replay so much of the game you may as well do it in multiple runs. If you really want to skip everything leading up to Psychotronics, you can save where you are now and start over from there, but it's all or nothing for the most part.

I started playing SOMA and something tells me some people itt would definitely enjoy this game. No combat or stuff like that but exploring a weird sci-fi base and its workings/computers in a horror atmosphere (and it's more System Shock-y in that regard than Prey) hits some similar enjoyment buttons for me.

I actually did the same thing after finishing Prey. SOMA is definitely worth a look, but I'd recommend people install the mod on the steam workshop that takes prevents the enemies from attacking you. They're more of an annoyance than anything. The ideas SOMA brings up are pretty great, but playing it back to back with Prey really made me appreciate how well Prey's dialog was constructed. Some of SOMA's dialog is fairly redundant or juvenile. SOMA definitely nails the atmosphere it's going though, for sure.

Weird - last playthrough when I killed the named phantom Thorstein in hardware labs, November tuned in to say that "I had the sense he admired you". This time I get the comment that "I had the sense he resented you". I have no idea what's different about the playthroughs - I haven't put points into anything yet.

Man, where the hell is this Grant Lockwood guy? I know he's out in space. My objective marker gets me that far, but once I'm in space it vanishes. I've looked up several guides and even some youtube videos and I just can't find him. I never see a "human corpse" marker out there. I even crafted like 15 Anti-Rad packages and cruised around in the radiation zone for a while.
