I wish they would have had schematics for more types of crossbow darts for later in the game. A type of explosive dart to give non-powers players a weapon version of kinetic blast would have been appreciated.

You also pick up schematics to build the Q-Beam at some point I think?

Rangpur posted:Oh right, I forgot about Josh Dalton's whole deal. Thing with that is, it means spending more time in GUTS, which is not a good time even when you are using Neuromods. Also one qbeam external, in the middle of the station interior right where you scan the coral You almost don't need the qbeam for a no needles run, if you savor a lot of things you can get by on shotgun/etc alone.

Yes the non-upgraded q-beam isn't great. For my no needles run I just stunned and shotgunned everything, which worked great

Since you don't have any repair skills, you can't fix the elevator, so you have to do a glue gun stairway combined with creative jumping all the way back up while dodging the technopath and the turrets he picked up. lotta savescumming

Rangpur posted:See, I'd probably follow that sub-plot to a point, if only so I could get my hands on the Q-Beam. Without using any Neuromods, I think the only one available is inside the freezer. There's a Q-beam on a body in space which you can reach as soon as you go out for the first time. It's in sort of an interior area with some corrupted operators nearby, although I don't remember anything more specific than that.

There's a Q Beam in a crate behind one of the locked gates in the cargo bay. No needles required and you walk right by it anyway.

The workstation nearby has a utility which unlocks the gates. You can find the password underneath some of the junk on the desk. It's 'ReployerReployer' because that workstation belonged to the guy who's obsessed with finding out what the Reployers actually do. Of all the dead NPCs, he's my favorite.

I just started playing the full game and once I started playing it like the title means something it really clicked for me. Since at the moment I'm relatively powerless (using a ps4 controller doesn't help) I'm acting more like, uh, prey; running and hiding from anything more than a couple mimics attacking me at once, using guerilla tactics to make it through tough encounters, and just biding my time and accumulating resources. It's awesome and tense Love this game!

So I made a beeline for Necropsy, thinking it would benefit me in the long run to collect more exotic matter. Was that smart, or did I waste 4 neuromods?

If you're sticking to one species skill (human or Typhon) you probably wouldn't need it at all but if you want to get a lot of skills from every tech tree in the game, or I guess if you just want to get skills really quickly, you would definitely want it early on because there aren't enough free neuromods to do that effectively.

If you put the recycle ability first (gotta wait to get to your office for enough mods) that will Jumpstart you as much and provide consistent bonuses throughout. But yeah, either way you'll have enough mods to get 70% of everything unlocked by the end if you want.

I honestly can't picture the door you're talking about, although I don't doubt it's there. You get so many keycards off so many corpses over the course of the game that I could well have found it, and opened the door without even realizing it was meant to be locked.

Nomadic Scholar posted:In life support I spent 10 minutes shooting at the computer inside the security booth trying to access the map. I did it. 27 bolts later. try carefully examining/exploring the bathroom right next to the security booth. You may need leverage or a recycler grenade... Actually having fun on my no needles run. Since you get so many weapon kits you can blow them on a pistol, then again when you get the golden gun. Qbeam is not worth the inventory space but unlike a typhon run, the bolt caster is for the various switches you have to hit to explore fully. I even saved more people this run than my original since I had fewer weird bugs with crew quarters and the mind controlled humans. I still don't know why I am picking up everything and recycling it, but not making anything besides bare minimum shotgun/pistol ammo. Nor why I'm recycling spare parts/psi hypos, but not the neuromods. I guess I wanna see how high you can stack the neuromods in your inventory before a second stack...

I thought a human skills only playthough would be boring compared to a typhon only run, but I've been quite enjoying it since I know now which areas you revisit the most so I've been sitting up a ton of reinforced turrets. Areas that are normally a cluster gently caress like the main lobby are now fun to come back to since as soon as you load into the area, a half-dozen or more turrets just start going off like firecrackers. It's oddly satisfying. But yeah, the Q-Beam is an all or nothing weapon when it comes to upgrades. Fully kitted out it is quite powerful, and if you use the lures to clump together enemies you can get a nice chain reaction going.

Thanks for the advice guys, it really drops in difficulty once you can get a few good powers, and again when you unlock the neuromod license; by the end of the game I must have spent about 250 neuromods. At one point I just blew through the four uses of the Nightmare signal by chain summoning him and killing him, he's not really scary on Normal once you know how he works. Great game though, sad it didn't get more attention, I've really enjoyed the last few Bethesda/Arkane offerings.

Completed my first play-through yesterday. Can't wait to start again but gotta take a week off cuz my dreams were gettin weird  I'm one of those who worship at the feet of SS2 and this was pretty damned cool and checked a buncha those boxes. No moments really stacked up to the Shodan reveal (although when Talos 1 starts getting eaten got pretty close), but drat, everything ruled.

It's such a tough thing to match up to the Shodan reveal in SS2, I don't blame Prey for not trying. I played SS2 for the first time about four years ago and even then with the graphics and sound so outdated at the time it was still just a spectacular scene. There's a room with most of the walls made of Looking Glass where it asks you to calibrate it by pressing on the glass in certain areas- I think most of you will know where I am talking about- and I half expected Arkane to try something like that there, but they went a very different route for that room. Still scared the poo poo out of me though.

I enjoyed the Looking Glass effects and I think you could do more with it. It reminds me of some of the portal shenanigans in old Prey. There was a maze of "silent" portals where you could briefly see and shoot yourself going past an intersection.scuz posted:and never even saw the Apex Typhon? was that bugged?) The entire entity outside the station in the endgame was the Apex Typhon. There are a few opportunities to scan it with the Psychoscope, but it doesn't give you any research. It just puts you at death's door with the Fear debuff and zero psi energy, as your attempt to comprehend the giant creature shatters your mind.

Meh. I had the anti-fear chip too, and I don't think I ever took it out, but it still blew my mind when I tried to scan the thing outside the window. The tendrils have separate research.

I'm dumb, I only scanned the tendrils. I also lied about taking a week off, I started a no-typhon-mods run last night and this time I'm gonna try and complete every side-quest that I come across instead of just kinda meh-ing my way around.

double nine posted:you can get to him first time you exit hardware labs, no problem. It's how I made the no-powers run bearable. From the power plant airlock exit, if "up" is "towards arboretum" turn right 90° (away from the station) he should be about half-way towards the next spinning shield thing, beyond the radiation. The best way I remember it is "out the shuttle bay airlock and 90 degrees right"

I ran into a weird graphic glitch today where the shotgun stopped rendering in game for a little bit, yet the shotgun shell still did. So for a couple of shots I was just holding a shotgun shell in my hand that would disappear when fired, then "reloaded" by putting a new shell in the palm of Morgan's hand. It was pretty cool looking actually and it would have made a fun typhon ability to be able to fire shells and pistol bullets without needing a weapon.

Speaking of area transitions I wish you could take carried objects through loading screens. For no other reason than I was kind of expecting to be able to choose to destroy the station, knock Alex out, then drag him with me to the shuttle..

How do you remove psi powers from the quick choose menu anyway? With weapons it's easy, just right click on them in the inventory and choose unfavorite, but for the powers I can't find an equivalent method.
