System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Review (TheQuestion)
Quick updated thoughts and some of the changes I noticed after finishing a playthrough on impossible:
- Log/dialogue volume are tied to sound effect volume. This was the one thing I wanted fixed, a separate log/dialogue volume slider.
- Scrolling in MFD keeps scrolling your weapons instead of the menu so you have to manually click the key icons to scroll.
- Ammo can still default back in the inventory instead of where you put it.
- Some keybind options are missing.
- Quicksave and autosave share the same slot.
- Mantling in some areas doesn't work now and it seems a lot easier to fall without mantling in general.
- More waiting with load times, unskippable intro screens, Watts can't be looted before he dies(only got 1 log now) though it's still very little extra time all in all.
+ No ammo to unload from broken shotguns instead they drop 1 shotgun slug as loot.
+ Loot have been added in at least one corpse that didn't have any before.
+ You can push barrels easier.
+ Shooting guns have more impact.
+ Midwife laser have been slowed down a lot.
+ Can only open lockers that are lit.
Some small areas, items and objects have been added, changed or moved.
Some O/S upgrades have been modified.
A few enemy placements have changed.
Hybrid ai might have been modified.
Collision on some objects have been added.
Can't access the corpses in the sidecells without opening the cells.
