Does this have anything to do with the air filtration system I fixed? If not, I might be too early--went down there on my own volition--or, maybe I'm still missing something. This game is pretty mind-blowing for someone that'd gotten used to far less-clever stuff.

e: Fixing it was the last thing I did before quitting last night, so I haven't had the chance to see if it's done anything to my psi.

e2: or, wait. you talking about the fab plan?

It's in the water purification room, not the air system. I think you hang a left out of the main elevator, but that may be completely wrong, it's been a while.

Bottom floor, towards poor but take a left. Power switch is by the entrance to the room and not easily visible if you come in through a side path so i hit this early game and missed the whole reason to do so until much later hahah

Don't worry in another 10 years some outfit will buy the rights to Prey, proceed to make a successor to Aliens versus Predator, also call it Prey as well and then fail to market it properly.

I've been taking my sweet time beating this game because I really love it, so I'm just now closing in on the end.

Am I supposed to gather that Mikhaila's father was the impostor chef fella, and I've killed him twice, now? I've read ahead and know a little, but that would be something of a revelation to me.

The not-chef is not her father. You can learn what happened to him if you save her. Have you been stopping by your office in the lobby?

Yeah. She's not happy with me right now, but I kinda thought it sounded like the same VA. Maybe I'm mistaken or still haven't learned everything yet.

If you've already listened to the recording with her, that's all there is to it. The VAs have similar accents since both characters are Russian but that's all.

Has anybody run a game where they upload the recording and then delete it in front of Mikhaila? She gets SO pissed at you (naturally) but I’m wondering if she comments on the particular cruelty of it at the end.

They really did call the 3rd System Shock "Prey" right down to those weird computer carts that look exactly like the ones from System Shock.

So I got to the part where I'm ready to create Alex's arming key, but he gave a vague warning that doing so would make the typhon more hostile. Does this have a major effect? I'd still like to finish up some sidequests and don't want to make just traversing the areas unnecessarily hard.

As a rule of thumb, advancing the plot repopulates all the areas with new and bigger Typhon, so if you want sidequests done with no meddling hold off on doing anything requested in the main quest section.

Even on the hardest difficulty you become very powerful by 50% completion and an unstoppable god by 75% completion.

Upgrade the stun gun. It's considered a security weapon as far as skills go, not a science weapon.

You think it's a taser but it's actually force lightning.

Man I'm so crippled by my pack rat-ism. You would think that when I kill the very first Nightmare, in the 'Detour' part of the game, where you first gain access to Crew Quarters that I would be thrilled with how well it went. Null grenade, followed by some combat focus, then quickly tossing some recycle charges and bam, he's been reduced to pellets and I didn't lose any health. Heck I even tased the possessed crew members.

I should be thrilled, but part of me is like "But what if you needed those things you used?"
