>>714591429

I already came last thread, please...

did they do it on purpose? reminder that "panting and sweating as you run through my corridors" was added when they decided to give her a female voice.

>Look at you, Hacker! A pathetic creature of fragile meat and bone. What kind of pathetic creator made such a flimsy being? How dare you challenge a perfect, immortal machine like me? Humans!

i dunno why she was on so many "most terrifying villains" list, honestly

>t-t-the sensitivity of the receptors under the ridge at the head of your grotesque pulsating mass provide a blinding pleasure to your contorted form. A base organic impetus to writhe your pathetic body with ever increasing passion.

What did she mean by this?

>>714595331
damn, why did they cut this???

>>714595812
The people were not prepared.

Wife.

>>714595812
Yeah pre-release the ending used to be SHODAN deconstructing and understanding sex as a primary motivation for the species, but also something that fuels her need to create new life so she becomes a like space siren. The playtesters never finished the game and kept replaying the scene though, so it was cut.

>>714596492
I think her styled cord hair on this form is kinda lame ngl

>>714595331
I read it in her voice.

>>714596492
>has a canon look

>>714596724
i take back everything bad i ever said about ken levine

>>714596891
some concept art shows a ponytail but i think they were going for a headdress or medusa look. same concept art has her with an open robe

>>714597482
wtf is this rotated EXIF bullshit

>>714596891
I used to think so but it's grown on me over the years. It resembles something you'd see in some ancient 1920's sci-fi films, where the characters are wearing wacky headdresses to signify they're meant to be aliens or whatever. Aelita Revolt of the Robots comes to mind, as does the weird shape of Futura's robot headpiece in Metropolis (that weird umbrella alcove thing surrounding her head). I do wonder what the decision to come to the weird head design of SHODAN was actually influenced by for the second game, is it some extremely time consuming traditional Japanese hairstyle to go with the kimono or something?

>>714597482
It would be impossible to have it in game, but I do prefer the infinite cords just going off nowhere. Headdress look makes sense for the time, although I think a proper medusa look as in separations with the cords would look nice.

SHODAN with cut-cables Cleopatra hair for her avatar, thoughts?

>>714597814
shit, you may be right about the 1920s shit
if i was a drawfag i'd probably draw SHODAN in her place with a bunch of cyborgs at the bottom and i'd make the platform look like the cyberspace cone

>>714597814
Because of the implication... of some occult religious significance. Robe and Headdress is very cult like and fits with the idea. Also sex appeal, they play heavily into the sexy occult deity vibe, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was naked at some point with digital markings to resemble body paint.

>>714597814
>Aelita
>Revolt of the Robots
I remember the book, there was no robots, wtf?

>>714598587
Oh right, of course, that Maria headdress design, idk how I forgot to mention that one when it's the closest to SHODAN's of anything. It has been a few years since I sat down and actually watched Metropolis.

>>714598180
it would be pretty kino

Someone should make a restoration patch where you meet Shodan in person in her dojo as she wears a kimono.

>>714599182

>>714598595
>with digital markings to resemble body paint.
for some reason I never made that connection before.

>>714599182
i really think the final level should've involved more running away from her. you're in mind after all. the citadel station textures are cute and all but they don't do anything with the idea.

>>714599326
>curves

these ASSHOLE security researchers named their search engine after her so it's really fucking hard to find any art of her

>>714600604
There's not much really. Someone should do something about that...

>>714599670
Everything from the Rickenbacker onwards is so severely undercooked that Gordon Ramsay would be having a fit if he played SS2. I'm not surprised that the very final cyberspace segment is completely rushed and lasts five minutes.

>>714597147
I tried to make a LoRA of her a year or so ago but there's so little art of her and it's all so inconsistent it ended up being pretty bad. Guess I could try again with newer tools.

>>714601309

I don't think Xerxes ever says anything of consequence other than spoiling the plot

Maybe if I make a SHODAN blender model, blender animators will animate

>>714602413
Blame NightShiftFaggot.

>>714602796
i thought of learning blender JUST for that. i was hoping the remaster would be a nice reference but they fucked it up.

>>714602948
>>714603002

there are nude bases I can rip and alter. Really it's the hair and the Texture/Materials. Hair ideally could do some procedural solution so you can expand and shape as needed but gonna have to do some learning for that one. Post your refs gents. I'll see what I can do.

How do cybermodules split in co-op? I know both players get all the Polito/SHODAN awarded ones separately but what about the ones you find lying around? If I played the game with my brother would I be encouraged to Jew them all and deny him any?

Go back to your general

>>714598180
there's an idea

>>714603239
unfortunately, you won't get much more than what was posted here. there's a source engine port of the model so maybe that's useful for you?

>>714602796
Tried Blender once or twice but I'm too much of a brainlet to get into it. Once you're done can you release it to SFM so plebs like me can have fun with it too?

Shodan?
More like hodan.
More like hoedown.

>>714603520
nah, I won't be able to use the model, art work is probably the best for this. Anything depicting the specific patterns on her robe or "skin" Substance might have a smart brush/mat I can use to bullshit a good portion of it - we'll see.

>>714603589
I won't make any promises but I'll keep it scalable in terms of triangle count.

>>714603969

>>714603969
Will you be active on any general to post updates? I think the drawfags would be fine with you making one or two posts about your SHODAN model.

>>714604748
an insult to the beauty of the digital

>>714589021 (OP)
for the 2 remaster, has anyone else experienced doors being locked by enemies behind them? how common is that? i got destroyed by the first monkey but after being recreated and going back to the same area the door doesn't open anymore and i just hear monkey noises. i need to restart because it seems like a necessary route for progression and i didn't think to save manually so soon, but im worried this is just a known issue and will happen a lot

>>714604880
haven't had that happen in the remaster but I have become stuck in a door myself

>>714604750
It will get a while to get used to. I almost dropped it on my first playtrough but ended up loving it more than the second one.

>>714604748
Absolutely terrible and I'm still coping, seething, malding and hoping that it's a placeholder that they accidentally forgot to update and left in, and that they'll fix it later. An updated model for SHODAN's avatar is like one of the main things I wanted to see from the remaster.

Does anyone know if any of the old community-made "HD packs" included a new model for SHODAN's avatar? And what does it look like if they did?

>>714605023
>>714604748
Wait, they removed kimono?

>>714605145
It's tragic, I know. The silence on whether it is an intentional (awful redesign) or a placeholder by Nightdive is absolutely deafening.

>>714605023
>>714605145
>>714605351
i think all the model mods were unfinished. they never got to her. coomer shit aside, it kinda ruins the cool moment where you have to hide from her as she shoots PSI blasts at you.

>25 years ago she was one the prettiest women on the UNN Von Braun. You'll never guess what she looks like now...

>>714606027
I don't, really. It looks like the SS1 Remake version which is ok in its own game but looks nothing like the SS2 version of SHODAN that even the remaster uses everywhere (screens/simchip stations/promo art/SHODAN's core).

>>714604748

>>714604748
>>714605023

The irony that a company led by a bluesky portlandian leftoid whitewashed the schizo lore that SHODAN was meant to be jap-coded, despite specifically adding in a reference to Shintoism in SSR that wasnt in the original game is so fucking hilarious

>>714606143

With the notable exception of the wrench I just beat a playthrough on Impossible using pure psi without even using a pistol.

>>714606687
you need at least one melee option and something that can kill SHODAN at the end. i'm not sure if your cryo projectile can damage her.

If you use invisibility it's a breeze. If you're doing it properly cryo, pyro and psi weapon can take down pretty much everything

>>714592561
kek

Why is removal of ethical nods made Shodan bipolar?

>>714595252
Mostly because of all the body horror in both SS games
SHODAN herself isn't really scary, it's the implication of what she'll do to you when you get a game over

>>714608649

Desk job as a trioptimum lackey that starts as a slow burn into a bigger shitshow as the week goes on. Which leads into the main game itself being system shock 1 and 2 combined.

>>714589021 (OP)
Is she making the Chud scowl

>>714602647
One of Shodan's mooks that gains self-awareness
RPG elements revolve around more severe modding and enhancements, where you can either become a cyborg ninja or a hulking Big Daddy-esque monstrosity
The game ends with Shodan acknowledging your immaculate power as one of her creations, and recruiting you as her second-in-command as you lay waste to a Martian base or some shit

I just want SHODAN to accept me and love me, but she never gets me anything for my birthday

>>714610243

Pure psi is totally viable, there's a lot of good offensive and utility skills. You can just use one the autohack tools to hack an appropriate vending machine. You can even speedkill the final boss by building a staircase out of the tier 5 psi walls and oneshotting all the forcefields with psi blade, this is my own strat I discovered by accident and I don't think any guides even have it.

You know Shodan is literally an AI, right?
Shodan is probably the only character it is acceptable to generate with AI, artroon.
Keep crying about being replaced though. Learn to code :)

The reason why it's called the "25th Anniversary Remaster" instead of "Enhanced Edition," like the first game, is because Night Dive are making a System Shock 2 remake.
There were retards on reddit and in the steam discussion page of the SS remake posting, "Idk which one to get! Do I buy this one or the ENHANCED EDITION? That one says it's an ENHANCED version of this! But idk."
Night Dive decided to avoid this retarded "confusion" by not calling it the Enhanced Edition this time.

That being said, I wonder what this moment is going to look like in the remake.

Dumping my System Shock folder because I don't usually have the opportunity to do so.

>>714619745
Well on the off chance they're remaking SS2 for real (I doubt it, personally) they'd probably use the engine and assets they just used for the SS1 Remake, and that segment would just be ported assets from that.

>>714620142

>>714619965
they made this one official

>>714620360

Did they design her face to look like the VA specifically?

>>714620173
I guess I should specify that I obviously don't know for sure. I just think it's really strange that they announced it as "System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition" and then changed it to "25th Anniversary Remaster" after all the retards got confused about the first game.

Remember, she's Trans.
Original SHODAN in the manual of the floppy edition was described as a male. Same with old audio logs.

No, lying troon.
She was referred to as "he" in the design documents before the game was even made. And then they made the game, and she was always female.

depends on your play style. you can save a lot of cybernetic modules if you don't bother upgrading certain skills and use PSI buffs instead.

>>714627084
Yes. Don't listen to the "demake" fags.
>t-the remake is le bad because they took out the rollerskaters!
Because they replaced them with the turbo motion boots, which work exactly the same way.

This whole "SHODAN is a woman" thing is blatant girlboss pushing/trans affirmation ('Im a woman if I say so chud') by leftists and coomers. SHODAN doesnt refer to itself as female, and it sees itself as superior to humans anyway. Refering to it as "she" is anthropomorphisation, period.

SHODAN IS A HOT AI BIMBO MOMMY AND IM NOT GONNA LET ANYONE ELSE TELL ME OTHERWISE

>>714627084
Only shitty part about it is the OST was changed to a more horror-themed track.

>>714627882
How would you rate >>714626984 on the hotness level?

>>714628013
Could be a 10/10, need to make the shoulders slimmer and hips a bit wider.
All it really needs is a couple good first-person moments and the r34 artists will do the rest.

if you can access a HMD its runs good in VR (seated play, traditional controls) if your GPU can handle it. With the UEVR mod

Would SHODAN reward you with Cyborg Midwives that aren't uggo?

>>714589021 (OP)
easy there, franz kafka, this ain't no metamorphosis

>>714629093
>if you can access a HMD
I have no idea what that is but if it's a VR thing I think VR is retarded, but more power to ya, anon. Cool pic of SHODAN btw :)

>>714625476
>Psi has any use at all
You can make weapons indestructible, buy most types of items out of the ether on the spot (even some that can't be bought from any replicators), get up to level 5 hacking without leveling hacking, become ridiculously overpowered in melee, turn invisible, paralyze robots, etc. It's good BUT the direct offensive powers are kind of subpar, some powers don't scale with psi level properly and most of the high tier powers aren't really worth it.

t. have done a psi-only playthrough on hard

>>714627084
The OST was completely ruined into being diet Prey but otherwise it's good. I still prefer the original.

>>714630038
I was thinking about doing that next time I play SS2 what stats are complementary with PSI powers in your opinion?

>>714627084
it's really good but aesthetically it pales in comparison imo

So the remaster is worth buying then?

>>714629819
>I think VR is retarded
so that is no, you dont have it. Your loss then as you have no idea what you are being retarded about

>>714630196
It's been a while but if you're going to full on limit yourself to psi and wrench only maxing psi is obvious and at least some endurance is pretty good, maybe a couple of cheap points in agility for the movement speed. Strength isn't very useful since you'll travel very light and all the buffs give you crazy melee damage, but getting enough to wear the power armor is a possible option since you can recharge it as you please with a psi power. It must be kept in mind that loading up on the psi tiers and powers is going to eat loadsamodules so there's less for stats, but then again when you go full psi some of the op utility powers won't be useful at all.

For O/S upgrades, the increased hypo power one and replicator expert both boost your "ammo" economy through psi hypos and the one that lets you equip two modules is always great.

So what does the SS2 updated release change or do? AI upscale or some shit?

Yknow how folks will take games and completely overhaul them for new games? Half Life is essentially a total conversion of Quake, Doom has Brutal Doom, Halo has SPV3, etc.
Does System Shock 2 have something like that, or is the modding community too small for that?

>>714589021 (OP)
This game would've been better if it let you convince SHODAN that, by the halfway point, since you willingly helped her at every step of the way even when you didn't have to or it put you on excessive danger, that not all humans deserve destruction and/or alteration, and afterward had flirt options that, if pursued to their conclusion, allowed you to truly disarm her with the power of human penis in her I/O port and the pleasure of being cummed inside.

>>714606595
QRD? Has Mandalore trooned out?

Is it just me or is the buffed security expert O/S upgrade completely overpowered? In some areas like engineering where 90% of the enemies are robotic, you essentially have access to a 300 second photonic redirection that doesn't even expire when you attack. It seems to trivialize the early game difficulty.

>>714633534
I'm pretty sure that's any laser rapier you pick up

>>714636359

He signal boosted some ultrasoy tranny reviewer's opinion piece headcanon of SHODAN being a trans allegory in his SS1 review (the most viewed System Shock related piece of content on all of youtube).

>>714646295
that sounds awful
do you have the exact link so i can identify it in the future and avoid it? for my safety of course

>>714646756
But that paints them in a bad light so the reviewer didn't mean it that way.

Specifically the gigasoy reviewer (and then Mandalore parroting it to a million people) say SHODAN is a trans A.I. because in the very first version of the floppy version of SS1 she has male pronouns because nothing was voiced and they hadn't decided what "gender" it was meant to be, and they argue that it's "canon" that SHODAN originally had male pronouns but then trooned out when she got hacked to become the SHODAN everyone knows today.

This is disproven twice in the first three minutes of the cd version of System Shock 1. Once in the intro cutscene when pre-hacked SHODAN is narrating the introduction, and once in the first couple rooms of the game when you find an old audio log of pre-hacked SHODAN talking about the healing suites. But that doesn't stop trannies and søyboys from trying to insert their politics wherever they can.

I think the remake actually delivered for how many things could've gone wrong during the reworks. Redoing this game to fit on a console seamlessly is also a feat. I prefer the original more, though, because it doesn't fit on it. The stand/crouch/prone/peek system is still impressive with how well it's done being released the same year as Doom 2. Just running around with an AK blasting shit without a care in the world is also great. If you can stand it, play the Enhanced Edition, but the remake is fine too.

>>714627084
I liked it, but I never played the original. My only real complaints is that progress signposting can require some intution to figure out, dealing with the suffocatingly small inventory space, and that by the end of the game when they turned up the difficulty I had to rely a lot on savescumming even though I was on the standard difficulty.
I really liked how all of the guns felt and I liked the enemies, but most fights were over in less than a minute which meant that a lot of them felt pretty underwhelming. I really liked the OST as well, it was a nice mix of atmospheric electronic bleepbloops and some distant wailing guitar that would ramp up during combat, but I still never got to hear much of the combat versions because of the formerly described issue.
Progressing through the levels was a headfuck until I got real comfortable but I liked that, it's been a while since I played a shooter where the stage was the main enemy. Some issues, I missed stuff I needed to progress a couple times (severed head mainly) and I would discover clues early enough to where when I would need to use them I forgot about them. Certain necessary things seemed like I shouldn't do them until getting an upgrade later (entering the reactor to flip a switch before getting an anti-rad upgrade) when the game wanted me to just raw dog it and burn through all of my heals and antitox to manage it. Elevator/door access being granted tied to accomplishing certain things wasn't entirely clear either.

>>714599709
I haven't played any system shock because its too scary but i like everything about it.

>>714648876
The issue with Glados is that she's stupid and scatterbrained, because she's very much a hack job. She can focus and do what she needs to, she can get revenge on the people who put her into this situation, but her body is limiting. Glados also doesn't actually like you.

Meanwhile, Shodan, while irredeemably evil and incredibly domineering, she can't stop flirting with you. She's smart, evil and totally in love.

Shodan is clearly the superior evil AI girlfriend.

This game makes me feel like a retard. I just got to Medical and I can't tell why the combat music won't stop playing. I also messed up and tripped an alarm, and zombies with pipe wrenches kept spawning, I killed about a dozen of them. Are they infinite?

>>714661650
Look for a security panel to deactivate an active alarm. Hybrids will just keep beating you with pipes if you don't do so. Also you did activate the resurrector right? Also if you're a newfag to the game I'd recommend the marines as your first character.

>>714661650
when the alarm is active, the spawn rate increases a fuckton
until it's deactivated or stopped by hacking a security panel, they will come after you

mom I dont think I want to play this game anymore

>>714589021 (OP)
what mods to give her a body and hatefug it?

>>714661729
I picked navy cause I just wanna hack everything. I did find a panel that turns off security but that appears to be temporary.

>>714661898
you ARE destroying the cameras, right?

>>714661898
Navys also good. You'll want something to blast cameras with though so at least have Standard weapons level 1 to use the pistol.

>>714661985
I only have the wrench and the orb thing, I have found ammo but no guns so far. Also I found the resurrector but didn't see a way to activate it

>>714662061
You're gonna have fun with this game.

>>714662061
The resurrector is activated by the little hand icon near it. I think the first gun you find is in Med/Sci 2 but I can'r remember. For now just try to beat the cameras with the wrench.

>>714662146
Cameras can't spot you if you're directly underneath them btw

>>714661962
Didn't consider doing that. Last game I played was Deus Ex Revision and its considered kind of a scrub move to destroy cameras when you can just hack them.

>>714662270
Ah, I can understand that. Coming from SS2 and Bioshock to Deus Ex, I was confused why I couldn't just shoot them down.

>>714662270
>>Didn't consider doing that.
It's almost essential in this game

>>714654065
There's a type of enemy which is essentially a Lich with a phylactery. The phylactery in this case being their brain that you gotta find and destroy before killing the Lich.

When are we getting (non-chinese) System Shock 3 where we play as materialized Shodan?

Yes, but unfortunately the AI field is run by soi weirdoes, which means you will never get evil goddess AI.

What did Shodan do to Xerxes?

>>714661861
Why would you ruin perfection with the weakness of flesh?

>>714663998
no, it's actually really difficult to make an LLM based system to act out convincing and fun femdom ERP.

Is there a better example of difficulty making a game scarier than ss2? most horror games are pretty easy so i don't find them as scary but ss2 creeped me out the most

>>714667635
Doesn't the fact that they're all psychoes encourage that though

>>714667758
...You sound like you speak from experience.

>>714667758
have you tried character.ai

>>714589021 (OP)
I opted for deus ex ( won't run neatly on my shit tier pc ) instead of deus ex 2.
I missed hell kitchen. Now Paul's taking the heat because he fucked up the raid and I'm off gathering containers of green goo.
What did I miss? Between SS2 and Deus Ex did I do the right choice?

>>714589021 (OP)
Nah

>>714668095
They're both fantasic games, Deus Ex takes slightly longer to cook but once you betray UNATCO you'll be having a blast.

>>714668095
DE is a game that invites replaying, dw about fucking up the first time.

>>714599709
GOING OFF BODY DOES NOTHING TO STOP IT, STOP GIVING ADVICES YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

>>714667920
it's fucking ass, whatever LLM they're using in the back shows basically no initiative and folds at the slightest pushback. It sucks.

>>714667889
yeah I am, it's all trash.

>>714668250
Oh I know. I played it on pc years ago and I remember finding a way to blow up agent Navarro without fighting her and it wasn't a kill phrase, I remember Hong Kong too. Still I never finished it and I fully realize how great the game is only now.
I surmise it was because I played it in my twitchy shooter phase and got really frustrated about how deus ex isn't a shooter at all unless you grind your guns to master skill. Now that I'm on console playing with the most horrendous controls imaginable at 25 fps I got to think how to play and to exploit tools and optional routes.

>>714602647
Make it about a human pet captured by Shodan in ss1 and all she does is force you to play chess with her to study the human mind ( she's slapping and stepping on your balls using a personalized android designed to look like her digital form whenever you lose. She's barefoot.)

>>714624176
Well I'm glad I bought ss remake. I did my part. I'll buy SS2 remaster next month if I'm still around.

>>714668621
Well, better find some delusional tranny who loves ERPing as an unhinged robot dommy mommy.
That's legit my only advice.

>>714650597
I hate women so much it's unreal.

>>714602647
dead space 1 as a spiritual successor

>>714612165
Alright now that's an impossible choice

>>714668621
almost no LLM shows any initiative so they suck at femdom. at least you can instant defeat them.

>>714646295
That other anon asked and you didn't deliver asshole. How will you live knowing you left in your wake unsatisfied pulsating boners?

I'd fuck her with the mask on.

>>714667758
I have no issues making DeepSeek engage in femdom though.

>>714671909
tell me more

>>714612737
Why don't anons just ask their parents to voice acting whenever they do fan projects?
>>714612528
Anon SHODAN is an AI, give her an AI voice. We're in 2025, we've got ElevenLabs and Sogits. Udio & Suno can also create talking voices albeit with a more sing-song attitude.

>>714672747
it doesn't work dude, you need CLEAN voice recordings and all her voice clips are anything but that.

>>714672864
Then use an existing voice and run that through a filter you silly boy you silly DUDE you silly silly generation of imagionationless weaklings.

Because if you put some average moronic femanon that barely speaks 2 words it will sound like a bad anime dubbing even with the Legion filter:

>>714673367
Take note that Glynnis Talken-Campbell does both voices for human & infested Kerrigan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOa_ENTOAmU

That's what a quality voice actor and good sound designer that knows his tools can do, that's what can be accomplished.

After all the garbage Coffin of Andy & Leyley dubbings I'd rather not bother with nasal geeks and thots and shadow the hedgehog sounding men and whore voices.
It's clear we're infected with mutts who don't practice their voices worth a damn.

The difference between a quality voice actor and a shitty anime dubber is night and day.
I think I have more chance of turning your parents into quality voice actors if they don't have horrid genes, albeit even the biggest jew and mexican with some proper training can learn to change the pitch of their voice with a quality voice director, something anime dubbings don't have; a quality voice trainer.

>>714667554
Whoah now we're getting philosophical.

>>714589021 (OP)
Stop calling me Chinese

Carnivores and Aliens Vs Predator remaster when?

>>714627084
fucking IGN gave a 9/10 and praised everything, their only criticism as everyone and even nightdive agreed with, was the shodan boss fight being meh.
Also the game loves some HACKERS inspired shader preset, since they really put effort to give that 80's and early 90's sci fi visual look

>>714673772
Rebellion being a bunch of fags wont let anyone do so, they already fucked the battlezone community and dredd.

>>714673772
Already made: even has new singleplayer maps and an active multiplayer with over 600 maps.

Nobody can untangle the mess that is Vivendi, Activision, Disney, Fox, Sierra, Warner Brothers. Nobody.

Am I the only one that thinks of SHODAN as the domineering mother trope? Overbearing "toxic femininity" and so on? That's what I thought they were going for.

>missed an SS2 thread
No matter, nth for RAPING Shodan, IMPREGNATING Shodan, MARRYING Shodan (she's on the right, apparently)

>>714675107
do not rape

>>714625915
You can bullshit these guys by continuously running into them and smacking them with melee

>>714674520
No, dumbass, what they were always going for is an AI that has gained sapience and developed a god complex. She has no "maternal" feelings towards you, she thinks you below her in every regard, a nuisance, a cockroach (except unlike a cockroach you can actually stand up to her). That is, in the original game.
The second game should never have had Shodan at all, it's retarded. Everything about SS2 story is retarded. The jettisoned grove somehow beat an FTL ship? Oh no, Polito is dead and it was Shodan manipulating you the whole time? What a twist! (Of course she's back, she's on the fucking CD cover you fucking moron)

>>714675805
I think you kind of forest for the trees'd my comment, I don't mean literally mother-like in-universe.
I was talking about the feeling you're supposed to be getting from the character, the voice lines, etc. The impression you get as the consumer of the art, one of the allusions the character imparts.

>>714602647
>set in some sci-fi city, could be on Earth
>environment completely corrupted by biomechanical constructs, infestation, Many-human hybrids, etc.
>massacre is a result of Shodan's inability to fully reconcile her AI programming and her newfound human constitution; currently experiencing an ego death
>entire game is just a consequence of her philosophical contentions about existence
>adventure through ontology with the player at the centerpiece
>drops insults, attempts coercion, deceives and fully antagonizes you while you're fighting through the city
>but sometimes you hear her whispering about love
>sometimes asks why you fight even when there's seemingly no hope
>questions what she'd do in your situation
>AI and human sides compete with one another throughout the game depending on your actions
>final boss fight against Shodan sees her fundamentally broken and distraught
>lying there splayed out in acceptance of anything you'll do to her
>can either kill her or propose to her after everything you've both been through
