Though the game has a variety of specialized weapons, you will be required to learn certain skills in order to put them to good use. Throughout the game, you can acquire ten different skills and up to 35 different psychic powers. After your training, it's onto the ship, where the main game begins. For the OSA, it's telekinesis and a variety of other science-fiction mainstays. For the Navy, it's technology and stealth.
Depending on the branch of service you enter, you will embark upon one of three different training missions to acquire the necessary skills. When you start the game, you have the choice of three affiliations: Marines, Navy, or OSA. Part first-person shooter and part RPG, System Shock 2 will deliver gameplay that transcends both genres. Of course, before you can leave, you've got to put an end to the alien presence aboard the ship. To do so, you'll have to make good use of Polito's advice, your cybernetic implants, the ship's log files, and a smattering of abandoned equipment. Polito, you find yourself suffering from amnesia and a pressing desire to flee. Awakened abruptly by one of the remaining survivors, Dr. Somehow, during your hypersleep, an alien infestation seems to have infected the ship. Unfortunately, the journey is less than peaceful. In Vatical's System Shock 2, you'll assume the role of one of these brave adventurers. It seems the UNN government has been receiving curious transmissions from the Tau Ceti system, and it's sending a faster-than-light ship, the Von Braun, to investigate. Of course, on higher difficulties these aren't all available.In the distant future, humankind embarks on an expedition into unexplored space.
Oh, and high Agility, to dodge in melee combat. High Strength (so you can lug about everything and use Heavy armour),Īnd that's about it. High Maintenance skill (so your French-Epstein-modified weapons don't break), High Standard skill (to take advantage of all that convenient pistol ammo), Route to winning (as far as I'm concerned): The key is to make best use of your ammo = get high weapon skill and the RIGHT ammo for a situation, instead of peppering a hybrid with Standard ammo when you've got Standard Weapon skill 1. I NEVER have to buy anything in Shock 2, so I end up with something like 3000 nanites on Easy difficulty. Viral Prolif is great for dealing with swarms. I like splattering spider against the walls inside the Many. Result is I can use Shotgun and Pistol ammo to full advantage, and grenades too, when I get Heavy skill and the GL. I always have Standard 3 or higher when I find the shotgun, provided I'm playing Navy or Marine.
