System Shock 2 is a First-Person Shooter/Immersive Sim with Survival Horror and RPG Elements and the sequel to System Shock. It was developed by Looking Glass Studios and Irrational Games, and published by Electronic Arts, releasing on August 11, 1999.The game is set 42 years after the first game; due to the events of the first game, anti-Mega-Corp outrage resulted in the formation of the Unified National Nominate, the quasi-socialist world government. After UNN (albeit under TriOptimum grant) scientist Marie Delacroix discovers the secret of faster than light travel, UNN and TriOptimum mount a joint mission to Tau Ceti.The game involves the maiden voyage of the Von Braun, the first ship with FTL Travel equipped, accompanied by the UNN Rickenbacker. The game begins with the awakening of the player character, a cybernetically-enhanced soldier, from cryosleep to receive a small amount of exposition from a voice identified as a surviving member of the Von Braun's crew, and then immediately has to escape his sick room that has been exposed to space, beginning his long adventure in avoiding his own death.The game received critical acclaim, but was a commercial failure due to going up against the equally groundbreaking Half-Life. A third game was briefly rumored with a 2006 trademark renewal and claims by PC Gamer UK, then disappeared. The game remained influential, and spawned many a Spiritual Successor, with Deus Ex, BioShock, Dead Space, and Prey being the most notable examples.Following a legal tangle that went unsolved for around a decade, Nightdive Studios acquired the Digital Distribution rights to System Shock 2 and had it released on GOG.com, and thanks to an agreement between them and Valve, it is also on Steam. After Nightdive acquired the right to the IP and began working on a remake for the first game, they got Otherside Entertainment, composed of ex-Looking Glass developers, to develop a third game. The game was initially to be published by Starbreeze Studios, but the company later got into severe financial troubles after Overkill's The Walking Dead flopped and was forced to sell publishing rights for the game back to Otherside in Febuary 2019. In September, a new gameplay trailer was revealed, suggesting that the game was still being worked on in 2020. In 2022, news outlets reported the game was truly dead, as development had stopped following employee layoffs.Similarly to the first game, Nightdive is working on an enhanced rerelease of the game for modern systems. This was originally supposed to release alongside the remake of the first System Shock, but delays made that impossible. A gameplay trailer showing off the enhanced edition was released in June of 2023, so the enhanced edition is still expected to be released at time of writing. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: The game had varied ammo types for certain weapons. For example, the pistol and assault rifle can take standard, AP and nanite rounds; AP rounds are best used against mechanical enemies, while nanite rounds do best against organics with standard rounds being somewhere in between. The Viral Proliferator and the Annelid Launcher use worms as ammunition, the latter particularly fires homing rockets filled with worms. | |

Madness Mantra: The Hybrids, when not attacking, piteously ponder "We are? We are?" and "What... happened to me?", and when they attack, they either apologetically shout "I'm sorry! Run! RUN!" or growl "You are not one of us!" or "You cannot see!" The Cyborg Midwives are even creepier, walking around talking about caring for "the little ones" and shrieking whenever in combat. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The first game was plenty dark in its own right, but at least you had copious firepower and someone reasonable and trustworthy to receive your objectives from. The one borders on Survival Horror, with breakable weapons and limited supplies. Like the first game, almost everyone you meet is dead or dying, if they weren't already corrupted and sent after you themselves. Unlike the first game, your circumstances force you into alliance with a supposed crewmember who is SHODAN herself, the original (if inadvertent) creator of the Many, and you spend the rest of the game doing her bidding, because she's the only nearby entity strong enough to help you fight back against her runaway creations. | |

No Biochemical Barriers: In one of the logs, a tech mentions that Diego and Korenchkin were so eager to become the first person to set foot on an extra-solar world that they didn't wait for him to finish checking to see if the atmosphere was safe to go out in first. Ultimately, the air was breathable, but everyone might have been better off if it hadn't been, considering what they found there. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Players of the first game probably had no idea that the Beta Grove they jettisoned halfway through the game would become so important in the sequel. The game itself doesn't treat detaching the Grove as any more important than any of the other objectives in the game, and it's only the second of four or five plans that SHODAN throws at you. | |

A Space Marine Is You: The player character actually joins the military in the beginning of the game. The trope is Played With, though, in that they are not necessarily a literal space marine (though they may well be). They might also be a navy crewmen, or psi-ops agent, and the player's choice of career will affect the skills they start the game with and the approach they take to navigating the situation. | |

Ate His Gun: Ate his shotgun, if the position of said gun is any indication. This is in reference of a crew member who apparently committed suicide in this manner right next to the elevator on the cargo level command deck. Janice Polito did the same after she accidentally released SHODAN. In one of the visions, you get to see a crewmember do this. His body is conspicuously absent from the location of his death. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Wrench, especially on impossible difficulty where, depending on your character build, you cannot afford to spend the scarce cyber modules on more powerful weapons and skills. It can kill all the enemies you face in the beginning within two hits, and with strafing, can let you destroy a turret without taking any damage while not wasting ammo. Too bad SHODAN is completely immune to it in the final battle. The Hazard Suit gives you a massive boost to poison and radiation resistance. It tends to be a mainstay in your inventory once you get it. The assault rifle. You find some relatively early in the game, and it works well as a primary weapon through the whole game. The standard weapons category in general - energy weapons aren't useful against annelid opponents, and exotic weapons aren't useful against robots, so it's much easier to spend the limited amount of upgrade modules available for weapons usage on a weapon useful against both. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: The 2 bosses are immune to a good chunk of weapons. The first is immune to all energy weapons except for the laser rapier, while the second boss is immune to melee weapons (sans the Laser Rapier and Psi Amp), and all exotic weapons. On hard/impossible, it's possible to have insufficient cyber modules to get research, despite SHODAN giving you the necessary cyber modules, but thankfully you can find a implant that increase your research skill and get around this. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_3cb9ed4d | comment |
Bulletproof Vest: Light, Medium and Heavy combat armors, plus a powered armor. Powered armor is interesting in that it is the best protection and is available early, but when it runs out of power, it offers no protection at all. And when you initially get it, the power will last about 5 minutes (you can get upgrades to make it last longer, but that might not work for your character build). | |

A.I.

The only reason XERXES is dangerous is because he's an obedient, faithful, efficient AI under the control of forces hostile to the player, and SHODAN's pre-Hacker audiologs and records say she's exemplary from what you find before Edward Diego forced the hacker to remove her ethical constrains. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: Somewhat inverted, as the game implemented a version of the stealth system first used in Thief, and thus had a higher emphasis on stealth and avoiding combat, unlike the first game which was more of a straightforward shooter. Also, due to being more balanced for stealth, ammo and healing items are much rarer compared to the first game. The skill system also means you have to tailor your character towards a specific build, rather than being able to use all weapons like in the first game. | |

Fling a Light into the Future: A villainous example: SHODAN processing component 43893 survived in the Grove that the Hacker jettisoned from Citadel Station 42 years ago. Prefontaine documents and transmits his findings after being abducted by the Many, hoping that they might be of use to "whoever will listen." Delacroix, realising SHODAN has betrayed her, sneaks some commentary into SHODAN's primary dataloop in the hopes that it can be used against her, along with hacking terminals that can be used to shut her down. | |

The Alleged Computer: XERXES turns out to be hilariously easy to hack into. Someone manages to get him to sing Elvis Presley songs for three hours until Delacroix is forced to pull his voice unit offline. Subsequently, when The Many start assimilating members of the Von Braun's crew, they are able to bring XERXES and, thus, all of the ship's security systems, protocol droids and sentry bots, onto their side in order to take control of the Von Braunnote This is implied to be a reaction to SHODAN's insanity: SHODAN couldn't be hacked and shut down remotely, so subsequent AI computers were made easier to foil to prevent another disaster. They were also made less "smart". | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Finding the Quantum Reconstruction Chamber and providing your DNA sample will let you respawn on the level any time you die. The range for the chamber is limited to the level you're on, so you'll need to activate it for each new area, and unlike the original game, respawning isn't free and requires paying some nanites. If you don't have enough nanites, or if you haven't found the chamber before dying, then death is permanent. The Body of the Many, and the final level, do not have Quantum Reconstruction Chambers. | |

Affably Evil | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: The Many genuinely want to share their glorious unity with everyone and everything they encounter. There are several moments throughout the game where they implore you to stop resisting them and/or point out (correctly) that they care more for their minions than SHODAN does for you. Unfortunately, the Many's way of "sharing" is to assimilate you into their collective, which isn't pretty, is exceedingly painful, and will erase your individual identity (if you're lucky, otherwise you'll end up urging the Many's next victims to kill you even as you're mauling them). | |

Charged Attack | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: PSI-Disciplines can be charged for more powerful effect, but if you charge for too long, you will take damage for burning out unless you have the appropriate OS upgrade. High tier disciplines charge very quickly. The Viral Proliferator has this as its feature; you must hold down the fire button for the projectile to travel towards its target to make it work effectively. Firing it the normal way will cause the projectile to explode in your face instantaneously. If your weapon is set to Human mode, it is possible that you can kill yourself trying to fumble with it as the projectile takes away a huge chunk of your health. Charge Meter: The PSI-Disciplines meter consists of three-quarters normal part on the left and a one-quarter part of the right, and releasing the charge on the latter with result in the stronger effect. | |

Enemy Mine | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: An example that carries across the entire game. SHODAN figures out that the Soldier is the only one that can help her annihilate The Many and achieve her goal of transcendence. To that end, she pretends to be one of the ship's doctors, Janice Polito, and lulls the Soldier into helping her (under the guise of reconnecting with her and escaping the ship) until the midgame, when she drops the act, gives you an Info Dump about what she's been doing between games, and more-or-less tells you you're going to help her. This continues up until she gains control of the Rickenbacker, at which point she states she has no further need of you. It's also revealed midway through that one crewmember, Delacroix, has been surviving in the same way you have, and even garnered SHODAN's trust at one point. Unfortunately, SHODAN dumps her at a critical moment, leading to several Dead Man Walking entries you find from Delacroix after the fact. | |

Friendly Enemy: The protocol droids are a weird example. They are programmed to blow up when they get near you, however they are apparently unaware of this fact and so will attempt to approach and befriend you. Even if you shoot them all they do is say "please don't do that". In order to kill them safely you have to actually kill them from range (they will still blow up, but you'll be far enough away you won't get hurt). | |

Dump Stat | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: Most of the Tech skills are useful, with a few like Hacking and Research taking precedent. Repair, meanwhile, is borderline useless. All it does is fix broken machines and weaponry, but you never need to fix any machines thanks to them only being broken if you fail a hacking minigame. Since you can just quicksave before an attempted hack and immediately quickload if you fail, hacking broken machines is pointless. As for broken weaponry, you can always find an automatic repair tool lying around somewhere, the Maintenance skill is extremely generous with repairs once you get it to a high enough level, and Repair doesnt even reset the durability of weapons when you fix them. As a result things should never be breaking in the first place, let alone often enough that you need the repair skill at anything higher than +1, and even that's for the early game. All of this adds up to make Repair pretty darn useless on anything except Impossible and even that's a bit of a stretch due to your limited Cybermodules being put to better use somewhere else. | |

Dissonant Serenity: The Many, a group of "unified" entities that will be unfailingly polite... while ordering your destruction or questioning your motives in a sinister way. Also XERXES. His announcements usually praise the Many, threaten dissenters, or warn about the "machine-mother". But occasionally, he reverts back to his pre-disaster behavior, announcing such mundane things as an upcoming poetry reading or encouragement to work extra shifts for Christmas money. Sometimes the two are even jumbled together in the same announcement. | |

Badass Normal: Dr. Marie Delacroix follows a similar path to the protagonist (but always just ahead), while managing to both survive and accomplish some important things without the benefit of his cybernetics or psychic powers (or even military training, it appears) long enough and even gaining SHODAN's trust before the AI abandoned her at her most critical moment and literally left her to die. She does have access to all of the security systems and doors, however, giving her far more mobility and a way to avoid security bots, turrets and cameras. Also military man Suarez, who manages to not only stay alive with only standard-issue cybernetics but escape with his civilian girlfriend to boot. Almost. "What's the matter, lover? Don't you like my new look?" | |

Cyberspace: The training suites in the military recruitment center at the beginning of the game take this form. By the end of the game, SHODAN basically tries to reshape reality into being like herself, and she is purely software. | |

Dying as Yourself | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_663b22d9 | comment |
Dying as Yourself: Once he managed to fight off The Many's influence on his mind, Captain Diego programmed a surgical unit to tear the parasite out of his body and break their control on him once and for all, though he knew that it would probably end up killing him. As it happens, he probably survived the procedure long enough for the sudden reversal of gravity on his ship to finish him off. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_7104ae6a | comment |
The Wrench, especially on impossible difficulty where, depending on your character build, you cannot afford to spend the scarce cyber modules on more powerful weapons and skills. It can kill all the enemies you face in the beginning within two hits, and with strafing, can let you destroy a turret without taking any damage while not wasting ammo. Too bad SHODAN is completely immune to it in the final battle. | |

Fetch Quest: The first mission is to get to deck 4, but the elevator is not powered, so we need to get to Deck 1 first to reroute power from the engines, but the door to the maintenance shaft to deck 1 is locked and we need to find the guy who knows the code, but he is in the section that is locked off, so we need to find another guy with the keycard. Once on Deck 1, we need to fix the coolant tubes to get to the engine area, but the fluidics control is locked and we need to find the dame who knows the code, but to use the fluidics control we need to install the specific override on it, which is specified in the audio log that is located somewhere on this deck. Only then can you can go to the engines and reroute power to the elevator. Thankfully, it gets less complicated. | |

Our Liches Are Different: The psi-reavers in the second game are an odd variant: they use psionics instead of magic, and their real body is just a helpless brain (which works similar to a normal lich's phylactery). They can manifest a body resembling a floating jellyfish to attack with psi powers, however, it will just respawn unless you find and destroy the brain first (which is, thankfully, usually pretty nearby.) | |

Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness: While the game is remembered for its non-linearity, the game's progression is actually relatively linear; you progress one-by-one from deck to deck getting closer to the command section (deck 1), and while there is a little backtracking there's not a lot of it unless you're going back for items you left behind due to being unable to carry them. The game's Spiritual Successor, Bioshock, would have a similar structure. | |

Dolled-Up Installment: System Shock 2 is a somewhat complicated case. It began development as a game where the plot and setting were unrelated to the first System Shock, but the developers were fans of the original and wanted to make a game similar to it. When trying to get a publisher for the game, they lucked out with Electronic Arts who held the rights to System Shock, and thus the game was reworked into a sequel. | |

Invisibility | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_9a3285c | comment |
Invisibility: Available as a Tier Four PSI discipline called Photonic Redirection. It makes you invisible to cameras and enemies (save the Final Boss SHODAN and her avatars), but using a weapon or another PSI power ends the effect. Buffs and stuff still carry over, so if you cast Localized Pryokinesis (makes a sphere of fire around you, while also rendering you immune to fire for the duration) then Photonic Redirection, you can walk around setting enemies on fire without them being none the wiser. The Spiders enemies feature a partially invisible variant. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: The Energy and Exotic weapons massacre everything mechanical and organic respectively, but are useless against everything else; especially evident in the last two levels since the first is purely organic (with some sightings of cyborg midwives), followed by a fully mechanical final level. Also kind of hard for the Soldier not to become this on Impossible difficulty, where skill upgrades are much more expensive and multi-classing is a bad idea. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Very early on, once you reach Medical, a disembodied set of voices will demand to know why you're working with "her" and ask you if you know about her history and intentions (in tandem with a minor Interface Spoiler identifying them as "The Many" before they officially refer to themselves as such). This doesn't appear to have any significant meaning, particularly since your Mission Control is a human doctor from the Von Braun... until you start connecting the dots regarding who The Many are referring to. | |

Foreshadowing | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A number of lines and moments in the first half of the game are this for The Reveal. Very early on, once you reach Medical, a disembodied set of voices will demand to know why you're working with "her" and ask you if you know about her history and intentions (in tandem with a minor Interface Spoiler identifying them as "The Many" before they officially refer to themselves as such). This doesn't appear to have any significant meaning, particularly since your Mission Control is a human doctor from the Von Braun... until you start connecting the dots regarding who The Many are referring to. During the audio transmission where Polito tells you that you "cannot conceive of the stakes" you are dealing with, the background of her call has an odd audio hissing and a deliberately-different inflection that sounds very unlike her. Once you get to the office, it becomes clear that this was an early indication of SHODAN's true personality coming through the Polito persona. Early in the Medical deck, you find a log from Doctor Polito talking about the chip they recovered, foreshadowing SHODAN's eventual introduction to the plot. The real foreshadowing, though, is the fact that the Polito in the log sounds nothing like the Polito you're talking to... Once you get to the second level of the engineering deck, you will mysteriously be transported into the central structure of the Many's Womb Level for a brief dream sequence; it will show you all the more dangerous creatures of their ranks that you will later contend with. The Womb Level itself is a late-game area — though not the last. Just before you enter the Rickenbacker via a mechanical umbilical-attaching elevator, you'll likely pick up an audio log from a staff member of the Von Braun's bridge personnel who describes of a "weapon that is made of worms and fires worms, but that it stings like you wouldn't believe." It turns out that he is referring to the Annelid Launcher, which will not appear until you get to the Rickenbacker bridge center. The weapon itself is located in the late Captain Diego's quarters, which needs to be researched before it can be used. And this is just before you have to enter the Womb Level... | |

Hitbox Dissonance: Monkeys can only be hit consistently with the wrench from above is right on top of them (monkeys have Psychic Powers and are the first and most plentiful foe with a ranged attack). An upgrade for the player character's cybernetic OS allows him to execute overhand attacks with melee weapons (a shout-out to the game's predecessor, Thief, which uses the same engine), although this only helps a little and requires not taking other, much more useful, upgrades. | |

And I Must Scream: The fate of human halves of the Hybrids. Some of them exert whatever little control they have left over what used to be their bodies to implore you to kill them - even as they advance toward you with murderous intent. The cyborg midwives are even worse. Researching them indicates that an implant at the top of the spine overrides all nerve impulses coming from the brain, which itself is left intact. This means they are completely aware of what is happening, yet have no control over what their bodies are doing. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_aadfcb52 | comment |
Hypnotic Creature: The Annelids, in their most basic forms. They begin life as fragile eggs, which in turn hatch similarly fragile worms. Their only means of either defense or attack at this stage is their psychic ability to affect the minds of creatures around them in a More than Mind Control manner. First the other creatures feel strangely drawn to the eggs, with a desire to examine them and understand them, which gives way to a desire to nurture the delicate little creatures and protect them. Eventually, the other creatures are invaded in their dreams and infected by the Annelids, and seek to join their flesh together, that together they may be Many. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The pounding techno music that plays when you enter the Med-Sci wing seems made to pump the player up to run and gun. This is all well and good, but by this point in the game the player will likely not even have a gun, and are fairly weak just starting out. The need to move carefully and be selective at this point can really clash with the action-packed music. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_af8974a3 | comment |
Breakable Weapons: Fortunately, they're also repairable. All the ranged weapons are as tough as wet cardboard, and indeed a number of mods - and the official patch - change the weapon degradation rate. It's actually quite easy to do, and Word of God states that they had set it high on purpose, but didn't mean to set it that high. It stresses the Inventory Management Puzzle early in the game due to the player hoarding not only ammunition but multiple degraded or even broken pistols and shotguns in the hope that they can be repaired or discarded when used up. | |

Experience Points: The game introduces cybernetic modules, which you can spend at upgrade terminals to "upload" skills and abilities to your brain directlynote Fluff notes that this is temporary: it requires the user to use the skill frequently in order for the upload to become permanent, basically imparting temporary mastery that degrades into competency over time, although the game is too short for it to affect you. You're rewarded with cybernetic modules for completing objectives and exploration. In one case, where you are following Delacroix's trail, SHODAN specifically warns you against doing so. If you persist, she takes away a fair number of your cybernetic modules as a punishment (The same amount you can find by Delacroix's body, making this a null punishment). | |

No OSHA Compliance: Justified. In the backstory revealed by audio logs, it stated that Von Braun had so much corner cutting that the passengers are wondering how the damn wreck is still moving. Even the security system didn't escape cutting corners, if the XERXES singing Elvis Presley songs for hours courtesy of some hacker is any indication. | |

The recruiter warns you off the bat that she's a massive asshole, and should you choose to work for her, the expository text afterward says that she completely lost it and started shooting her own troops midway through your tour of duty. Thankfully, you managed to restrain her, and she was finally relieved of her duty. | |

Just before you enter the Rickenbacker via a mechanical umbilical-attaching elevator, you'll likely pick up an audio log from a staff member of the Von Braun's bridge personnel who describes of a "weapon that is made of worms and fires worms, but that it stings like you wouldn't believe." It turns out that he is referring to the Annelid Launcher, which will not appear until you get to the Rickenbacker bridge center. The weapon itself is located in the late Captain Diego's quarters, which needs to be researched before it can be used. And this is just before you have to enter the Womb Level... | |

Continuing is Painful: On Normal and Hard difficulty, the resurrection chamber will cost a small amount of nanites each time it is used. This also doubles as a Sequel Difficulty Spike, as resurrection was free in the original System Shock (with the exception of the hardest mission difficulty which made the entire game a Timed Mission and had time penalties for each resurrection). | |

Broken Bridge | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_c5f23623 | comment |
Broken Bridge: Frequent. Most of the time the player has a relatively simple goal, but must take multiple detours and overcome all sorts of obstacles in order to attain it. Your objective is to meet up with Polito on the fourth floor. But the elevators are down, so you have to go to engineering on the first floor to make repairs to bring them back up. But a growth in the elevator shaft prevents travel above the third floor, causing a need to find a substance that can kill the growths and insert it into the environmental control system to unblock the elevator shaft. All of these involve various substeps that require exploring the entire floor to complete, some of which include a lesser broken bridge that must be dealt with to get into a certain room or acquire a tool needed to complete a subtask. | |

The Many questioning you about choosing the "Machine Mother" over a fleshy union seems to be a direct reference to Harry Harlow's monkey experiments, especially considering the sadistic experiments performed on the monkeys aboard the Von Braun.

Artistic License – Chemistry: You have to use various chemical elements in order to research various creature's body parts and objects. The odd bit is, one element is iridium, which is nearly as valuable as gold, raising the question of why no one stole it yet (especially considering most of the chemical storage rooms aren't even locked). There are also a few elements (such as fermium), which can only be created artificially and are highly radioactive, yet don't pose any danger of radiation poisoning (which does exist in the game) to the player. | |

Too Many Halves | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_ca27661f | comment |
Too Many Halves: An intentional example. The item description for the liquor bottles you find discuss how pharmaceutical advances have allowed for alcoholic beverages to be given artificial boosts to their intoxicating power, referred to as "factor proof." The strongest liquor humanity has is 330 factor proof; US proof ratings are simply the ethanol content by volume multiplied by 2, so 330 factor proof would be the equivalent of 165% ABV. The liquor bottles you pick up are explicitly not factor proof whiskey, just normal stuff. | |

Schmuck Bait: You can find a trail of breadcrumbs that will lead you to a place and information that SHODAN doesn't want you to have. You'll get repeated warnings to not go there, but nothing will actually stop you from going to investigate. If you do, you will lose cybermodules for the first and only time in the game but you can find out what happened to Delacroix, and get an object lesson to not trust SHODAN. Investing unwisely in O/S Modifications, skills, or PSI powers can leave you absolutely screwed later on in the game. Selecting the "DEATH" setting on the Fusion Cannon is an easy way to blow yourself away along with the enemy in close quarters. At one point in the Hydroponics level you can spot a suit of armor in a pool of water. It's BOILING HOT water that will quickly kill you on contact, and the danger is very poorly indicated | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Certain weapons can kill you if you don't use them correctly. Heavy weapons such as the Grenade Launcher and the Fusion Cannon are obvious examples. The Viral Proliferator and the Annelid Launcher, however, are more complex cases; if you set them to Human mode instead of Annelid mode, you can possibly die in one hit with your own weapon if you use them the traditional way or get too close with an obstacle or enemy. Large robotic enemies explode on death and the smaller protocol droids are walking suicide bombs in the first place, severely limiting melee combat against them. | |

The in-game explanation was that the Annelid eggs were toxic, which made it impossible for normal humans to tend to them; a cyborg was required for the task. They also use the AI XERXES (and his robots) for various tasks, and plan on using the ship's FTL drive to get to Earth. | |

Lightning Bruiser: The Rumblers are quick for their size, alongside being very durable with a super strong melee attack. Also the Soldier can be this by the end, especially on easy difficulty where the upgrades are cheap. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: The entire plot depends upon a particularly egregious example: The Tau Ceti system is nearly 12 light years away from ours. The game is set 42 years after the first, which means the grove carrying what would become The Many just so happened to be ejected on a pinpoint course for the very same planet the Von Braun would travel to, at a speed of at least 85,655 kilometers per second - roughly a quarter of the speed of light. Regardless of whether the specific explanation of the one above is intended, the implication that the trajectory was an intentional saving throw against the loss of the project, and SHODAN accomplished in a handful of processor cycles a feat of calculation that later took the world several decades and an entire civilization to reproduce in the form of the Von Braun. | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_e63228a7 | comment |
An example that carries across the entire game. SHODAN figures out that the Soldier is the only one that can help her annihilate The Many and achieve her goal of transcendence. To that end, she pretends to be one of the ship's doctors, Janice Polito, and lulls the Soldier into helping her (under the guise of reconnecting with her and escaping the ship) until the midgame, when she drops the act, gives you an Info Dump about what she's been doing between games, and more-or-less tells you you're going to help her. This continues up until she gains control of the Rickenbacker, at which point she states she has no further need of you. | |

Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: The GamePig player (accessed through the player inventory) has a number of unlockable titles that can be picked up and installed in the machine at various points throughout the game, comprising minigames like Minesweeper and other arcade classics. The actual game doesn't stop when you're in this mini-player, either, meaning the player has to actively choose to go to a safe area to enjoy the titles, further reinforcing this trope. One of the games, Overworld Zero, will actually give the player a small amount of nanites for winning. This is insanely hard and time-consuming; you will NOT be getting rich quick | |

System Shock 2 (Video Game) / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: At the start of the game, you choose whether to join the Marines, Navy, or OSA (PSI-Corps), each of which then lets you pick three specific missions that determine skills and ability scores. While technically you can purchase ranks in anything no matter which career you chose to start with, the scarcity of cyber modules (used to purchase skill ranks & stat boosts) and the high price of buying into a "cross-class skill" (10 cyber modules for the first rank... and you cannot do anything relating to that skill without at least one rank) tends to make it easier to play to the strengths of a "class". The Marine (Fighter) gets stat boosts, weapon skills and maintenance, the Navy (Thief) gets technical skills and some minor stat boosts, and the OSA (Mage) gets psychic powers and a few skills. | |

The Alleged Car: The Von Braun suffers from numerous breakdowns, especially with its experimental FTL drive.
