I'm telling ya, make a melee girl. Full augs in strength and electrostatic discharge. Punch down security beams! Kill people with a coffee cup!
This is actually good advice. And get the firebolt-caster. Fire spreads almost indefinitely in this game. Among flamable things anyway, which is chiefly furniture and people.
Playing it vaguely Thiefy is pretty fun too (insofar as you can).
There's quite an intersting story in there somewhere. It can take some effort to glean it. Might as well make that effort amusing.

Be sure to pack something other then melee when you have to kill the OMAR and Templars tho, they kill you right back during their death animations.
Muzman on 29/9/2010 at 12:39
Yeah. Mostly I make friends with the Omar since they're so tough and sell interesting stuff (which you probably could find, but anyway).
But by the time the Templars show up it's quite possible to have a huge stockpile of grenades, if the whole clonk-fest gameplay is so far working well for you.
(one fun thing is the ability to stack explosives. I like filling a room with grenades and then leaving a timed bomb and running away. The bones of the character models can break under certain circumstances. I had a great scene once of the two Illuminati Leaders dangling, warped and twisted, from the ceiling fan in their trailer at the end)

I have a feeling ZB has played the game more than once!

It's just SO AWESOME (gritted teeth) that those idiots can be killed by their own elite commandos dieing.

Wow george, can't sneak the obvious past you! Hey, be sure to let us all know what color the sky is sometime.

If you suspect your neighbour of strange or suspicious behaviour, please report this person to your nearest politburo, thank you. We will make sure to re-educate and relieve them of all capitalist console propaganda clouding their thoughts!
Why is there screaming coming from behind that steel door? Don't worry, that's just the sound of someone being lovingly introduced to the pleasures of System Shock. The screaming is just an unfortunate side effect of the LSD.

Well for someone who's spewed venom on the game since it came out, I'm a bit surprised that you played it more than once. I'm glad to see that you gave it at
least a second chance!

Yeah, but ZB pretty much spews venom at everything: it's like his default state. I wouldn't read too much into it.

He's saying that thinking is hard.
