Psi hypos and other replenishments are extremely rare early on, so you don't get to use those psi powers very often before you run out. Tip if you do go through with playing it: pick Navy as your starting branch and get some points into hacking.Personally, I find Navy to be the easiest start. If you're not a gaming history buff, though, your time would be better spent playing something more modern. The good news is that SS2 is a HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT game like Ultima Underworld when you play this game, you get to see what inspired Deus Ex, Dishonored, Bioshock, Dead Space and all that. It's kinda like when you ask for shooter recommendations, and some 35 year old gamer tells you Goldeneye 64 remains the best shooter ever, then you play the game and it aged horribly. Yes, most of the hype and enthusiastic recommendations for this game are coming from gamers between the ages of 30 and 45 wearing rose tinted nostalgia goggles. This is a very difficult, frustrating, imbalanced game and a few mods will only do so much to fix it. Honestly if you can't get into SS2 vanilla, and handful of mods aren't going to save this game for you. Also note that not all vending machines necessarily improve their selection when hacked, so you might want to reload if you hack a vending machine and find that you preferred the old item selection. Don't be afraid to reload if you fail a hacking attempt, especially when hacking vending machines.Honestly this isn't all that important, but if you find yourself getting stuck and need to buy some extra health packs or ammo from the vending machines, it could come in handy. If you don't mind cheesing the game, you can use quicksave/quickload to abuse the slot machines for infinite nanites.It is highly recommended to save three of them for the final battle, in order to save yourself a lot of extra headache. There are a limited number of icepicks in the game.I forget where exactly all the surgical units are, but activating the one on the med/sci deck is probably a good idea. Try to save the activators for surgical units that are located in convenient places (particularly near the doors on the main elevator shaft). There are fewer surgical unit activators than surgical units in the game. Although 16 O/S upgrades are available in the game, you will only be allowed to pick 4 of them, so choose carefully! I would recommend the speed upgrade, the inventory upgrade, and the damage boosts.

Later in the game, certain monsters will drop a fair amount of grenades and you want to be able to use a grenade launcher so you can take advantage of the free ammo.

Regardless of what class you play, get at least one point in heavy weapons.

In general, psi powers are weaker and less reliable than weapons.

System Shock 2 seems like it might have that. I like games such as Underrail because of its character creation, multiple ways to do a quest and combat as well as it's crafting system. Is this game even worth playing or is it more nostalgia driven than anything worth playing.

I was able to play Arx Fatalis for a tiny bit without much trouble. I can't really get into Deus Ex 1 because the controls confuse me. I love Prey as my favorite game of all time and I liked BioShock. Unless there are must have texture mods for the game that retain the same look and feel for the game.

Or to make things easier control and gameplay wise should I mod this game to make the transition from modern games easier. That being said should I play this game vanilla first with starter tips from you guys. I Rarely play games with keyboard except isometric RPGs or Mount and Blade Warband, though I have never really memorized a lot of hotkeys. I brought the game and am intimidated already by the amount of keyboard controls.
