>Cyborg Midwives just casually show up in Engineering before their official introduction in Hydroponics
I don't remember this happening. System Shock 2/Remaster thread, I guess.

I remember there being one or two in that maintenance tunnel "shortcut" for Engineering

Remake fucked up the entire vibe, models feel like they were too pussy or incompetent to go full body horror.

>>715918803 (OP)
if you mean the one down in the tunnel it's always been there, I came across it on my first playthrough ages ago

It's better than that one mod that takes liberties.

Any idea why she's there? Seems like a thing that would ruin the great reveal in Hydroponics.

>models feel like they were too pussy or incompetent to go full body horror.
I somewhat feel this. The Midwives were creepy as fuck in the original, and now they're just... there I guess.

Some leftovers from test builds?

>>715919886
Yeah, it’s definitely there on purpose. I always figured that early appearance was meant to reinforce how deep the Von Braun's infestation had spread, even that early on. Like just a taste of what’s festering behind the walls. Plus, it kinda works as a tension builder-gives you that “what the fuck was that” moment before Hydro lifts the curtain all the way.

a pair of large ones in fact

>>715920965
it's always been down there. you're expected to take the shortcut back but you don't have to, so you'll never encounter it.

>>715918803 (OP)
The maintenance tunnel, but honestly trying to remember that level is hard, it's literally a box maze.

>>715920019
I remember perceiving them as just a weird thing that attacks you down there which, in the wide open space, you probably kill from far away. Then later on you hear them talking before you see and fight them in close quarters and understand what they're supposed to be for. It's probably just an oversight I'm over-intentionalizing but I think that was my reaction which still worked.

No I'm talking the SS2 mod that butchers the models completely.

wtf ever happened to system shock 3 which is announced years ago

>>715924352
After being in development hell due to these tiny studios having minimal funding, the rights to SS3 were sold to Tencent who promptly ended development. Basically nothing is happening, and if it does it will be a total restart of development.

>>715918803 (OP)
On Hard difficulty there's a couple in the engineering tunnels.

>>715924773
why buy something only to shut it down? dont they want to get back their money?

>>715926769
No. It's better to own valuable things, in this case the rights to a somewhat notable game, than just pile up money.

>>715926769
System Shock is one of those games that has an amazing reputation and legacy but nobody outside of a small group wants to play it.
Both games flopped in terms of sales, and I don't mean in the retarded shitposter way. It's annoying because Bioshock did really well and that's seriously dumbed down.
