It may have been asked before, but could you have killed the doctor after your first encounter? I understand that it would have locked you out of his unique weapon, but could you do it?

Yup, it takes a number of hits but you can kill him. You can kill any of the NPCs in the game actually, one smack is enough that they'll cower and won't talk to you anymore but more than a couple will kill them and leave you with noooothinnnng.

CREO couldn't have thought up this idea on their own, they must have had help from Colorado senator Steven Armstrong. The Surge takes place in a timeline where Raiden failed.

 The Nucleus is slightly more gribbly than the rest of CREO, but thanks to all my years of let's playing the gribbliest games around I think I can get Warren through it safely! Or at least, mostly safely. The rocket payload awaits!

You just know that, trusting the luck of people in Sci Fi stuff, GJacobs (G stands for Gribbly) would be a giant spider thing. Just the last possible thing you'd want to be.

God, the nano-beasts. They'd be a little more bearable if they had less health or did more damage, but as they are? gently caress those things. That said, I still grinded them for cores because I wanted the shiniest armour and weapons

The close-up at the start of the video really brings across how much that armour set looks like a cheap video card - and cheap video card packaging. You know, the kind with broken English and garish box art. Pictures of 3D modelled dragons on fire, cyborgs, Totally Hot Babes, etc.

Once again, I question how the hell putting nanobots that eat organic matter indiscriminately would actually fix the environment!? The environment isn't about what temperature it is somewhere , it's about whats living there. Wiping all life from the planet just so you can say 'Hey, look we put the icecaps back' is such an incredibly corporate way of missing the point. I honestly love how cleansing the surface of the planet of all life came down to a split y/n vote.

Fixing the environment wasn't Project Utopia's job, that was what Project Resolve was for, injecting chemicals into the atmosphere to fix the ozone layer, decrease CO2 levels etc. Unfortunately that ended up in what we saw in the Resolve Biolabs with the toxic goop everywhere. Project Utopia is an acknowledgement that Resolve failed- instead of trying to change the environment to something livable, Utopia instead aims to merge humans with nanobots, making a race that can live in the hosed up world that Earth is becoming. Unfortunately, nobody at CREO seems to have watched Terminator, and the nanobot hive mind gaining sentience is something they completely failed to plan for.

With my sole exposure to this game being the LP, I'm pretty positive that the Gutenberg speech from the beginning of the video is from when he was just starting up Creo. He sounds so optimistic and upbeat, spelling out his vision of how to save the world to everyone listening. Quite unlike what he sounds like after his work is destroyed by corporate greed in direct contradiction to what he's saying there.

Is there anything to suggest the nanomachines would have ever worked (as in not taking over the host) and the Surge hosed them up and made them murderous?

Well, they might have worked, but as the doctor's logs have explained since R&D, for some unspecified reason they continued to germinate past the point where they should have stopped. At some point (presumably after they'd fulfilled their purpose) the nanobots were supposed to die out and replenish at the same rate. This would keep them from taking over anything, while also serving whatever purpose they would've had to inoculate humans to the toxic atmosphere. But due to some screwup I don't think we've been told about, they are reproducing faster than they're fizzling out and so they're learning and growing and actually absorbing stuff. Presumably if that hadn't happened it would have worked? Maybe? edit: There was a log in R&D that explained where the nanobots came from. In case you don't remember (because it has been quite a while), the nanobots were originally used for assembling equipment. You can see them doing their thing inside all the 3D printer stations in the various Ops Centers. I guess R&D thought they'd be able to handle more complex instructions, and they were wrong.

I have to admit I've lost the plot slightly here. Did the board not believe that the nanobots were running out of control? Did no one tell them? Did they think they could just wait it out?

Did they think they could just wait it out? The nanobots were under control- or at least, they were pretending to be -until the Surge hit. At that time, the board was in the middle of voting on Utopia being launched. When the Surge knocked out CREO's servers, whoever's fault it was, the nanobots broke out of containment and started spreading throughout the system and taking over the Nucleus. Who knows if they had gained sentience beforehand, but that locked-off area we visited in R&D in the previous episode already had nano-zombies running around so I'd assume so. edit Cardiovorax posted:I've been watching your videos too much.

Dunno, I think science fiction would disagree with you there. There's lots you can do setting-wise with AI that are integrated into society as more than merely boogeymen and video game monsters. Mass Effect, Star Wars and the Halo series use that to pretty great effect. I mean, they can also be that, but reducing artificial intelligence to only Scary Bad Guys always strikes as... weirdly Luddite, for a medium that's so much on the cutting edge of computer technology.
