Jump in,throw refrigerator across room,rifle through drawers,steal everything,hack computer,read sensitive information,bounce out the window like a loving flea.

Bonus points if you gently caress up the room then put everything back but just sliiightly the wrong way.

EDIT: Also, a neat thing that came out when HR was new: People with autism (particularly high-functioning autism) actually tended to do better in those sections without the CASIE aug, which was a really neat thing to learn and unpack. A lot of autistic people learn to consciously recognize emotional and social cues, since they don't have the subconscious recognition as strongly, so they were actually reading the cues harder than your average player and doing very well at that. But give them the CASIE aug and they started treating it more as a logic/reading comprehension puzzle, which led to them doing worse because they started neglecting the social side.

That....huh. Yeah, I think I did have that exact experience.

Also when I say dialogue system, that includes the incredibly sensible "basic gist as each option on the dialogue 'wheel', hover over them to see exactly what you're about to say with no ambiguity" UI. It infuriates me any time I see modern games still do the "pick yes or no, oops yes actually means your character calls their mother a whore" type poo poo.

Prey does this too. Crank up your Strength and a bunch of things stop being obstacles and instead become weapons.
Beaning a Phantom with a reployer is very ammo-efficient.

I remember being really disappointed when I realized that for a lot of the dialogue "choices" in Mass Effect, Shepard says the exact same line no matter which option you choose.

It happens a few times in Mass Effect 1 specifically, IIRC when you’re talking about what you saw in the prothean beacon right afterwards and a couple times during the council scenes. I don’t think it happens at all during the second and third games

It's even worse because I'm pretty sure they only made it take place in Prague because of Karel Čapek because get it robots, and the racism idea came later.

You could very well be correct, but also Prague does love the Golem story. They have their own local version that seems to have a substantial place in the public consciousness. When I was there the local fancy toy store had a big golem display to draw people in, even.

Well the golem of Prague is the popular Golem story. The one where Rabbi Loew creates the Golem to protect the jewish community against pogroms.

im sympathetic to the writers of DE for struggling to write discrimination against augmented humans without making it incredibly hokey because the only comparable historical parallel they had to mine was the time people got their google glasses smashed because they wouldnt stop filming strangers

Something funny just happened in DX:MD,there’s a part where baddies track you to an apartment complex and before they broke in i threw a fridge at them which blocked the door,this caused their pathing to freak out and they ran around the complex alerting not only the heavily armed gun runners downstairs but the 2 heavily armed police officers across from them.

These baddies got mowed down and it was a complete accident.

I’d say Mankind divided is a lot more about exploring and has less of the “stealth room” stuff that was in Human revolution (although there is still that) and it’s so much better for it,i’m enjoying it alot.

I remember vaguely people saying it was too short and the hub world stuff wasn’t good but gently caress that i’m loving all of it.

The hubworld in Mankind Divided is probably as close as we've come to Warren Spector's line about a simulated city block. It's not very big, but it is dense.
