Invisibility is very useful in the Body of the Many, not a bad choice on the first runthrough. The brain room gave me and even my AR a hard time years ago. :sweat:

Argh! I keep reading about people ordering from Games Warehouse for $6 shipping, and when I ask I get told it's $35 (to the UK). Seriously, anyone want to order one for me? :D
I think I'm just really, really unlucky :(

That sucks, but $35 isn't all that bad compared to what game you will get to play. :cool:

Yeah it's just silly to spend more on PnP than on the product itself... it's the principle of the thing :p
Taken from the FAQ:
"You can purchase System Shock 2 from Games Warehouse in Australia who ship worldwide. For a copy of the game and shipping to the UK the price is AU$16, which is around £7. An excellent price."
Has anyone actually ordered at this price who isn't living in Oz? I've just noticed that a lot of posters here are ozzie (not the bat-eating variety) :)

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the game.
I always get a great feeling when reading about people's first time through. Makes me remember mine :)
I bought a few copies of the Black Diamond version of the game from EB while they still had stock.
AU$10 for a pack containing two CD's of the game.
Not sure why Australia is the only place to get it from nowadays, but it's a change from usually being left out ;-)

Well, I had about a hundred cyber modules saved up before I went in, kept dying. Then I went back and got invis. Piece of cake from then on.

Thanks Mighty. I guess the reason we are getting relatively cheap games is proximity to Japan, India and china, where a lot of the manufacture takes place these days.
Finished another run through as a PSI character this time, but to keep things interesting didn't use invis- too easy. Invested in the crystal shard though, even more overpowered than the wrench once exotic skill is up.The one that made enemies attack each other was a pretty powerful skill once I got it though. Cleaned out the last bit by hacing rumblers do the hard work for me!

Crystal shard gets immense damage bonuses due to a bug as far as I know, the wrench doesn't.

That was my favourite power too. Neural restructuring I think. Although in Multiplayer D'Arcy used to kill all my new friends :(
Then again if he didn't they usually ended up killing me when their "mood" changed...
Bjossi on 11/5/2007 at 21:19
I hate to say it but I have never used that power even once, and I have done at least 15 runthroughs. :o

Your new friends always seemed to have a disturbing tendency to casually come strolling around me. Friend or not, I get nervous when I get a Rumbler breathing on my neck, especially when I have no idea of when will he snap. A good Rumbler is a dead rumbler :cheeky:
