: Time to add my 2 cents to the great debate. In one of the (early) terms in
: M2, I'm leaning towards one on Waterloo Waterpark, but I'll check the
: exact wording and term when I next get a chance to play, Durandal tells us
: that he has made some modifications to our suit to make us compatible with
: the Pfor equipment. This would obviously refer to the save terms,
: "health" recharge and air stations, as well as allowing us to
: translate their terms instantly.
: What does this mean? Well, it somewhat implies that we're human since we have
: a suit, but hold on.
a cyborg can have a suit also
: Whens the last time you saw your average P'for using one of their health
: stations? What about a Bob? No? Perhaps these don't dispense flesh-healing
: materials or energy or whatever. Death would be preferable to having alien
: substances with an unknown affect on humans being pumped into you,
: wouldn't it?What if beneath this suit, we were the 10th battleroid. What
: if our enhanced muscles were regenerative with an application of certain
: materials? What if the P'for's cyborgs are similar?
those are energy stations: since you have shields (bobs and P'fhor dont) you can use it to regain your shields.
: Save buffers? I'm going to make some assumptions about alien technology, but
: it would seem Durandal has one mofo of a time finding terms of any type
: from space. So, once you locate any term and access it, Durandal can hack
: in, override it, etc. etc. etc. So, as you locate the save buffers, he can
: hack into the system and allow you to upload your biomechanical state onto
: it and he whisks it away via his uplink. He can then, at any time (ie when
: you die) upload you to the station once again to be respawned. "You
: have died a thousand times..." Only he would know, because you can't
: remember dying, because you were reverted to a previous state. The image
: on the console resembles a Trooper. Troopers can use the terms easily
: because a large portion of them is electronic, their suit, weapons, etc.
: They probably even have some implants. It's easy to believe that the
: technology is limited to only bioelectronic organisms, and simply can't do
: it without a mechanical reference or somthing. After all, they had to
: steal AI to get AI.
: Also, never is there a reference to "While you were wolfing down a
: cheeseburger in the mess" Even if you were teleported directly from
: the planet and into stasis and vice versa, you'd still consume godly
: amounts of energy running around blasting the shitzut out of stuff.
its possible you dont require food, but just because there is no reference to it in the game (why would there be?) doesn;t mean he never eats.
Since
: the stasis chambers on Boomer are unreliable according to Durandal, why
: would he place you, his most potent weapon into them? Also, he'd need some
: physical manifest to maintain the ship (assuming all the packaged drones
: were annhilated at your hands). Thoughts, comments, observations?
raises some intersting questions, like why durandal cant just whip up some better suits for the bobs, and why the phfor cant use their own terminals...
but the latter is probably just a result of time resraints on the relelse of M2- after all, it cant be perfect.
