Firon's Commentaries - System Shock 2 Psi Only-Run Episode 21 Part 1

The beginning part of this episode is not too exciting; mostly just talk and announcements. This is more or less meant as a reminder of some things and a take on subjects that are rarely touched upon in commentaries (although I probably only mention one). The second part will have a lot more action in it; I guareentee that.

This is my first ever Let's Play, and the game I chose was System Shock 2. I've decided to do a Psi Only-Run, which means I cannot use any other weapon besides the Psi Amp. I can purchase upgrades other than Psi stuff, but I'm strictly limited to using the Psi Amp for self-defense. It's on Impossible difficulty, the hardest difficulty in the game.

Grab a drink and whatever you like to eat and enjoy an all-new episode!

In this episode I:

- Transfer SHODAN to the Rickenbacker; basically like giving candy to a baby only I'm giving the baby a military vessel full of nukes and vulcan guns probably
- Talk about a number of things, including the idea of long-term consequences, ship's scale, nostalgia and backtracking, and more
- Go on a killing rampage to eliminate more "children" and test out my new toys

Stats -
+5 Psionic Ability
+4 Strength
+4 Agility
+3 Cyber-Affinity
+4 Endurance

Psi -
Tier 1: Cryokinesis, Psychogenic Cyber Affinity, Psychogenic Agility
Tier 2: Adrenline Overproduction
Tier 4: Photonic Redirection, Cerebro-Energetic Extension

@ShephardReborn I was thinking bout touching upon it more often later on because it does connect with other topics like his relationship to SHODAN and such.

And I use a Logitech headset microphone that my dad normally uses for the PS3. It's a much higher-quality micrphone than my previous two mics, with little-to-no background feedback and picks up my voice much more easily. And since I don't need to hold it like my karaoke mic, the chances of a "falling" or "sliding" sound is minimized.

@roderick87 It's alright and thanks -w-

@ShephardReborn You make a valid point my friend. I sometimes deliberately get detached from what's happening on-screen if there's nothing entirely great occuring. There wouldn't be much of a point in commenting on my "dodging abilities" when there's something else that needs elaboration. But I know what ya mean. I actually planned ahead for future episodes to discuss topics more related to where I'm at and such.

[ShephardReborn]

You should really go through that "Google's motivation" topic, in context of ordinary literature/movie/videogame hero it's really an unusual case. Another thing - What sort of headset you use to record this and how do you feel about quality of the integrated microphone - I'm planning to buy something to make my recording more convenient.

[ShephardReborn]

The blue annelid organ is quite useful for a non-psi character, I used it extensively during recording of Body of the Many level in Pacifist's Approach. Good episode Firon, actually good as always :-), it's good to see this series regularly improving. Really there's hardly anything to complain about, but if you ask for anything constructive - Well, it's just a little thing but I sometimes find you narration a bit 'detached' from what is actually happening on screen.

Very nice episode!

(sorry for not having any constructive criticism :P)
