Anyone getting horrific texture issues? The game runs extremely well but everytime I walk into a room I see the textures start to pop in, and some just remain forever blurry. It really bugs me. This is with all the settings at Very High....

Well I found out my video card was running at uh..83c so maybe that was why. Oops. I'm using a GTX 660 though.

Mindblast posted:Odds are that card only has 2gb video memory. Are you running textures maxed out? It could easily not be a bug, but instead be caused by lack of vram. Yeah that's probably the issue. Definitely going to do that, thanks.

I'm guessing I'm nearing the final act of the game or close to it and man. I really loving hate the military operators, they have so much hp and are just annoying to fight and come in swarms, as well as seemingly infinite respawn from the fabricators?

Is Leverage the most pointless skill path? I've come across like..Two unpowered doors that could be forced open with it, and for rooms and stuff blocked off by debris I just use a recycler charge to get in.

Dang I wish that hacking Kasper made the fuckin military operators all friendly or stop spawning. Doesn't seem like there's anything special at all for doing that...So far at least. Lame.

Well, that's that. Clocked in about 18 hours, really good rear end game. Glad it came out on the weekend so I could blitz through it. Ending was kind of lame, I expected some sort of big encounter or something towards the end, although I'm glad there wasn't a giant annoying boss fight against the Aphex as well, so I guess I can't complain. Just felt like the ending was really sudden to me. I knew the twist the moment i GLOO'd myself up to Alex's penthouse and then across the drawbridge the moment you get access to the zone and got the bad ending, combined with Alex constantly going on about mirror neurons and such. The only thing I'm a bit confused about is, did the events of Talos-1 actually happen, and you were simply playing a simulation of it, or was it entirely fabricated for the simulation? And what happened to the real Morgan? is all of that just sequel fodder or is there secret info to uncover or something?

incoherent posted:Separate post for spoiler territory. Alex mentions injecting more "Morgan line cells" so I'm assuming you're Typon material basically molded around Morgan's DNA to give yourself shape (hence why your arm becomes human when you give Alex the handshake) combined with his memories being fed into whatever passes for a Typon brain during the simulation. I'm hoping you aren't just body morgan that got taken over or something, would be cool to actually meet the 'real' Morgan in the inevitable sequel. I think the little flashes you get that are I guess your Typhon self breaking through telling you to kill them all/they're lying to you are really dumb in retrospect, because Alex and Morgan's research says that the Typon kill indiscriminately because they literally cannot empathize with other beings and thus cannot comprehend what they're doing as bad, so why would the Typhon be actively like "MURDER THEM ALL"? I dunno, it seems to make them more inherently sinister which is lame as gently caress to me.

The Nightmare are actually chumps if you have some decent Psionics. I killed three by just jump jetting around like a loon running around while psychoshocking it for 1/5th of its HP periodically. They don't drop anything really good though. RIP.

CJacobs posted:Yes. How do I turn it off so it does not appear in the game at all, is what I am asking. I will yank this videogame apart and strip out all the vignette effects until I find the right one if I have to. Odd. Maybe my game was bugged or something because I literally never encountered it outside fights involving Weavers. And even then it was like three times.

I just wanna drop in and say that I applaud Arkane for making the audio logs like SS2 and have them be for the most part actually logical, in both their content and where they're found. One of the dumbest parts of Bioshock was finding random peoples monologues about super secret or important things in a bathroom or some other nonsensical location.

n4 posted:Question about the ending: why the gently caress are they operators and not people? This is entirely speculation but I assumed that it was meant to show that, despite it being a simulation those robots were also 'logged in' and acting out the roles of those people who maybe didn't exist in the real world, since all of them existed basically to test if you had empathy for living things or not. Of course this makes less sense given Alex, so maybe I'm entirely off base.

Lakbay posted:Is the increase PSi pool a human skill? Thinking about doing the Typhon only run but it's weird that would be under the human skills and not alien It makes sense when you think about it, Humans naturally have psionic aptitude according to datalogs, we just couldn't do much with it without Typhon stuff.

You know it's a super minor thing in the grand scheme of things but I actually really enjoy how opening sequence (pre-getting knocked out by gas) IS actually in the neuromod division physically. It would have been easy for them to have it be a separate map and put you in the 'set' after you woke up. But they did infact make an entirely functional sim lab, and that's awesome.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Regarding the side quest to leave the station in Alex's private escape pod, I assume the only way to get up there is to get the neuromod that teleports you a short distance and leaves a copy where you were standing, maybe upgraded to the second level for greater teleport distance. I got up to Alex's office through some creative gloo climbing, but there's a big gap between the roof of his office and the platform above it where the escape pod is actually located. It seems far enough away that no amount of tricky jumping or gloo stairs will let me get over there and I don't see a switch to lower a ramp or anything like that. Not even sure if it will be an actual end to the game or if it will just have a cutscene where Alex tractor beams me back to the station or something like that, but I want to wrap up the sidequests I have right now before progressing in the story. You can hop up on one of the wooden walls and then gloo yourself across the railing, that's what I did.

DancingShade posted:I hear them very clearly. You want headphones with good mid range. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD518s which I always thought were pretty good quality. On another note, been playing around again mostly just to gently caress around and do stuff out of order, I chose female morgan since I played the male one originally and she's not a bad VA by any stretch of the imagination but female morgan does not have that sort of sinister edge male Morgan had in his audio. January sounds way lamer because of it too IMO.

Someone here said that he doesn't get blown up and that he says he'll meet you in the arbatorum or something, so it either branches entirely or it just provides an easier way to getting the bad ending

Question about some of the dialogue variants in the ending. Does Igwae always say that you must have thought you were dreaming? I'm not entirely sure what that means but he mentioned it in mine, something about how I didn't seem to act as if any of it was real. I'm not sure what I did that qualifies as that. I had high empathy fwiw, but not the highest somehow despite saving everyone(?)

Couple things I was thinking about (ending related) Does anyone know what version of Looking Glass is running in the main game? The version that the actual sim is running is 3.5, it's a minor detail but I'm curious to get at least a small sense of how far in the past the talos 1 incident was. Did anyone else actually have to stop and think about the ending choice? I was highly suspect that it was a sim since I got the December ending earlier but even then, despite being basically all gung ho with Alex's plan, when I had him and January arguing at the Nullwave transmitter I actually spent a good 5mins unsure if I should continue or blow up the station, or hell just leave with the others. I decided eventually that the nullwave was the 'correct' thing to do, since blowing the place up would still have those people escape since i saved Dahl, and January said no one can get back to earth without ruining everything. Although I did see that you could be the ultimate loving rear end in a top hat and blow up the shuttle from the upstairs bridge computer, dashing everyones hope of escape. And then finally.. I saw some talk earlier in the thread that you can find a decent amount of audiologs that show you all of the different personality shifts Morgan went through due to his constant Typhon mod testing but I don't think I ever found any of those, other than the one for the Whistleblower quest.

ending spoilers: Speaking of the LG, so we have 2.0 in game, 3.1 in the escape early ending, and 3.5 in the 'real' ending. Is the verison different if you go the full murder path? I was told that the ending scene is slightly different and they decide to put you back in on that route, so I'm curious how early/late in the tests that is.

I didn't buy combat focus or the damage increases and beat the game just fine. Are you upgrading your weapons? The shotgun makes short work of all the enemies with enough damage upgrades.
