@@yeoldefoxeh254 Guess you played it the uninteresting way. It's not wrong, just uninteresting. In my last playthrough I tried visiting all locations that were unnecessary at the moment, but were accessible with current hacking skills, grenades and GLOO gun (like neuromod lab before neuromod crafting block with broken gravishaft and with low strength). I also didn't upgrade any active abilities, because I was saving psi stims to craft more neuromods.

In my opinion, the worst ending is being a saint, saving everyone, and then kill them all in the final scene. An alien creature so smart that it has managed to trick humans into thinking that they got what they wanted just to then kill them and escape, truly horrifying.
At first I was irritated by the choice and thought it was just in for completeness. Typhons kill, so here's the option to kill everyone, duh. But when I thought about it a little I arrived at the same conclusion. You'd have to know that you are a Typhon though and that you are in a sim.
@@yeoldefoxeh254 because the Player just woken up,and is not yet finished comprehending everything around him.... ever had that feeling of drowsiness after woken up from a sleep?
Wonder if there is significance in the looking glass versions being different between the regular ending and alternate Abandon Ship ending. The versions are 3.5 and 3.1 respectfully. Maybe it shows thay they have been running the test for a long time and that the alternate ending is canon it's just something that has happened before in previous tests. It's weird but to me all endings are canon because they've probably all happened at least once, save for maybe the best ending where everyone is saved and done. When it happens in game that I feel is probably the first time it's ever happened.
In the description you say "I and Thou" Achievement. That's the achievement for saving all the Humans on Talos 1, not killing them. The one you were thinking of is "I and It."
I think this is pretty funny if you look at it from a certain perspective. Morgan goes the entire game playing chaotic evil, but in the moment he thinks he's won, he is greeted with the face of the man he literally shot in the back and is promptly killed after being told what a horrible person he is. Karma hit this Typhon like a truck!
where did the typhon come from? what is their true purpose? what happend to morgan? hwo did the shit hit the fan on earth? and most importantly WHAT IS NEXT?
Space faring race that can come and go across the space as they like, have no apparent problems to reach planet Earth without first making visit in the station orbiting it, right? The end of the game is perfectly logical in this sense. The result would be same without whole Talos I episode totally regardless human actions in the reality, or in the simulation of reality - being Talos real part of the reality or simulation, or both. Why we take obvious things like they would be someway mysterious needing some kind "explanation", when the game itself explain plain clear everything that needs to be explained about it's plot line?
Joe Rogers 1) it's Russians not Russan 2) they didn't volunteer, it's a name that they put on the human test subjects. These volunteers are criminals sentenced to death like, for example, Ingram had to be put in Siberia labor camp, but they sent him to the station to test the mimics. Plus, they weren't all Russians, there were from different countries. Since they were criminals, the government had nothing to lose by sending them to Talos 1 to complete the important researches. My theory --- As January said, you need exotic material to build neuromodes, but you can only get it from the mimic which can multiply by killing Humans, so I think they will kill criminals to make neuromodes like Januray said if the station was still up.
why do so many people hate on the game? i thought the gameplay was super fun and the story kept me really interested all the way through. good do with a bit more of an explosive longer in detail ending, but i think it would set up nicely for a sequal
I think hate comes from the confusing map layout and backtracking. I played and loved the game, but then I hit the zero gravity area which is really slow, boring, and very confusing. And then you need to backtrack to other areas to use your new abilities, but then you forget where said area was even at. Hopefully if they make a sequel they cut out the backtracking and confusing layouts.
@@Unchainedful backtracking is apart of the fun of these types of games, just like in metroidvanias, I personally enjoy revisiting areas and seeing how they've changed and being able to use my new abilities to do things I wasn't able to do before. It's not for everyone and understand why some people may not enjoy it. I do agree with one thing though, the zero gravity areas are really boring
No, it really did happen. Alex says it was a reconstruction based on Morgan's memories. Morgan is absent, so it's likely that Alex used the escape pod while Morgan self-destucted the station.
It's a reconstruction BASED on Morgans memories. It's a simulation, you control what you think is right still, just has Morgans memories as a guideline. So even though you kill Alex in the simulation, it isn't exactly what actually happened. The whole point is they are trying to get Typhon to show empathy towards humans instead of senselessly killing them. The Typhon you play as with memories being project upon, are the link between Humans and them.
lmao no. Something happened. It looked a lot like the reality the Typhon x Human creature experienced, but it is not what actually happened. That would render the entire "simulation" useless. They are testing it to make sure it isn't malicious despite its Typhon genes. What really happened we may never know, but the space shuttle Advent might have brought Typhon to Earth, or Morgan might have. But there is no way to know what happened for sure. The fact that the real Alex kills you if you leave as soon as possible might mean that that is how it went wrong, as they already know what the outcome of it is: Earth invasion and the end of our species.
I got a good ending and was thinking about playing it again but killing everything just to see the bad ending and I'm really glad I didn't waste 10 or so hours just for that.
The only ending I didn't try and didn't even get to see (if that's even possible) is killing Dahl so no one can escape Talos, not even oneself. It is assumed there that the typhoon organism would not reach the land. In all endings the shuttle is seen escaping from the Talos (cleansed of the typhoon organism or destroyed alike). Still the interaction after the ending is the same...you wake up from the simulation...it's always simulation.
I wanted to get this ending, but it's apparently nearly impossible to get due to the mind-controlled humans killing themselves. And I don't mean the exploding heads, although that is annoying too, but that I discovered hours after the mission that some of them walked into fucking fire and got themselves killed. It should count as a kill if they die, not that I have to kill them. Ridiculous.
the point of the whole game is judging you and if you made good or debatable choices they give you rating or praise if not then they go like "yeah there is nothing to talk about here. kill it with fire and bring out the next one"
And this is the problem I have with that endling. If you're really out to kill humanity for their crimes and what they all did, you have first to pretend to show compassion and then betray them. Instead of clearly showing your choice that humanity is best wiped out and leash out the moment they doom you unworthy and eradicate them.
I got this ending but I didn't kill everyone and I also got the same ending when I activated the thing Alex wanted instead of blowing up the ship. Is there only 2 endings? This one and the true ending for saving all humans? Cause then I assume most people got this ending on their first playthrough. Minus the escape pod game over ending and the choice you get at the very end, this and the good ending are the only two? I thought killing all humans would be different than like a middle ground, kill some humans path.
ZeroChaos69 nah not at all, you only get this by skipping all missions or killing everyone. Doing a single side mission and not killing humans is enough to be moderately empathetic
To think american government is already measuring population's psychology through decisions we make in games like skyrim and fallout. . Imagine your life being secretly ruined by the government because you klled everyone in skyrim.
The game started and ended with a WTF (I finally got the thing about removing neuromods = removing the recent memories, but still have no idea what that fake hostel and helicopter simulations were for)
Tlot Pwist - your character was being experimented on and having his mods removed which wipes his memory. Also your brother saw that it was changing your personality so locked you up in the simulation.
It is to control every aspect of Morgan's experience. There are trying to see if his personality changes between experiments. But having him experience the same exact day every time they recreate the circumstances. In theory, he should behave the exact same way every single time the run the tests. He should respond to the questions in the exact same way. Yet, the email logs state that his behavior changed between tests. And throughout the game you learn he became less of an asshole, it seems like it started with him only looking out for himself and looking to profit from the Typhon as much as possible.
it's basically a nerve that connect all the typhon organisms. More typhon material you have=more coral(yellow cloud thing) there is on the ship. i guess
So you're telling me if you play the good guy, you get to betray and kill this little "council," but if you play evil...you don't. huh!? seems backwards, who would play white knight entire game only to go evil in the end? This is worst than Dishonored 2 punishing you for playing the fun way.
That was my plan. I was intending to blow up the station and wanted most of the humans alive up until that point. Because of this, I ended up helping and saving quite a few of them, and even accidentally happened upon the air mixture regulators that saved the survivors in the cargo bay. I murdered the cook not because he killed Sho and her girlfriend, but because he tried to blow me up with recycler grenades. An act made futile since I was equipped with the anti recycler chipset throughout the game. I even showed that lady who was looking for her father that I'd killed him, just to freak her out. Unfortunately, she got all angry. I had to stun her so that Igwe wouldn't notice. I then dragged her outside of my office, beat her to death with my wrench and recycled her into the shotgun shells I later killed January with. At some point or other, I started to feel sorry for Alex. The bit about wanting to make humanity great again was pretty swell, by which time most of the humans had actually perished of their own stupid free will anyway. I decided to save the station, which helped add to my hefty species agnostic kill count in almost the same way that blowing it up would have. The operators gave me commendations, and explained away my murderous misdeeds with little more than "But it did kill a *lot* of Typhon as well, and it never equipped any Typhon neuromods!". Except for that one Russian bitch, but I did turn her into buckshot. Upon seeing that Alex's only friends were four creepy floating toasters bereft of even the most basic ability of judging my character, I took his hand instead of murdering him. I mean come on, the guy deserved a break.
that's pretty cool actually, the game changing your choice by the time you reached the end. honestly i'm just an evil bastard in games, the selfish part of me just wanted to play out a sci horror movie then win in the end. either way i bought it and i also ended up liking Dishonored 2.
For a long part, I thought that Alex didn't even really exist. He always seemed to be everywhere you weren't. It's only after the revelation that the whole thing was a sim that I realised he had complete control over everything. I've been trying to piece together the actions of the real Alex and Morgan that led to Earth getting wrekt. If I recall, some of the NPCs are surprised to find that Morgan is still on station. I wonder if the real Morgan died or went missing on Earth, and that Alex alone was left to battle the Typhon. Poor fat bastard.
