Wear headphones, the mimic makes a chittering sound and you can use the direction of the sound to get a sense of where they are. You will also find something later that will make this easier

The Q-Beam is really good against Weavers and Poltergeists, and you get tons and tons of ammo for it from operators. It synergizes really well with bullet time as well

The Lone Badger posted:Why are these people acting like blowing up the station will stop the Typhon? They were around long before the Soviet space program encountered one and will be around long after Talos 1 is dust. Killing this particular nexus of Typhon activity won't deal with all the ones who have already scattered into other orbits, or the ones who have been floating around the system since before humanity evolved. ENDING SPOILERS I bet the actual events were that they really blew up Talos 1 and that actually precipitated the Earth infestation

The cook went to the escape pods in the Bridge area where he has a recycler bomb trap to suicide kill you. If you disarm it he dies anyway though

Kurzon posted:I'm thinking of doing a no-psi run next time. If I scrap every psi hypo I find, will that ensure me enough bullets to get by? Because ammo is really scarce on Talos I. You can fabricate bullets pretty easily? At least on normal I ended the game with 150 shotgun shells and 300 9mm rounds after dumping into every enemy on the station

Oh man, I guess I should have done that. I shotgunned that guy in the head and got an trophy for it, but I didn't see any way to progress things unless I went hurf durf and went along with his plan. I guess it would have also counted against the Do No Harm trophy

The developers did say that they catered to all sorts of playstyles including ones that would take months for players to come around to, I would think mimicking into rooms with no psi would be one of those

Jack Trades posted:Can someone tell me what's the deal with the supposedly fake cook, Will Mitchell? Specifically what happens if you do as he wants and go inside the freezer? Spoilers for Crew Quarters The cook is actually an escaped Volunteer. If you go into the freezer you are knocked out and locked inside, where you find the body of Danielle's girlfriend and a message that lets you meet up with Danielle (this helps with the voice print lock for Deep Storage). You also get a quest to hunt the Volunteer down; he puts a bunch of Recycler Bomb traps in the Crew/Arboretum/Bridge area

the black husserl posted:I see what you're saying but it just doesn't all add up. I think that's more to do with the game being vague, having a minor plot hole or something being hidden than your analysis being flawed. It's not really dangling. Alex's plan and October's plan are one-to-one congruent. October's plan is also congruent with one version of Morgan's (From the Morgan Transcribe). The big things that October is cementing is 1. Alex's plan is actually something that came from Morgan; 2. Morgan's personality shifts from repeated neuromod extraction. Each operator was created by a different version of Morgan. There are many other elements in the game which point to Morgan actually being the one pushing for more brutal and exploitative Typhon research, and Alex is just trying to honor the wishes of what seems to be the "real" Morgan in his eyes

The thing is that Bethesda's anti-reviewer and anti-consumer marketing policies are fine for their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, which sell themselves, and to a much wider audience that doesn't care about the same gameplay elements that most "core" gamers look for. I remember reading a rather convincing post that the Nvidia gameplay style, which works well for people who are buying video cards and know their PC shooters, would actually be a turnoff to a broader audience who couldn't handle the pace. Doom probably got a boost in sales even with that kneecapping just because Doom is a brand with a huge built-in loyal following that keeps their ear to the ground anyway. Prey, on the other hand...

There are a bunch of safes whose keypads are broken and the only way to open them is with hacking. Sure, it's usually just weapon upgrade kits or grenades but I think out of the "unlocking" skills, Hacking has the most exclusive locks. Repair has a couple and I think there is one room that is mimic-only
