Can anybody explain to me how Typhon based neuromods would be useful outside of military uses? The only three i can think of that could be useful are regeneration, machine mind and the gravity well thing. It's the same thing in Bioshock. How did Andrew Ryan think his anarcho capitalist objectivist whatever city would function when anyone can just spontaniously combust. Psy powers at least make sense in System Shock 2 where they're made for special forces and have a lot of uses outside of combat.
>>737141998>Can anybody explain to me how Typhon based neuromods would be useful outside of military uses?One of the in game magazines in the first or second area mentions transferring other skills like playing piano. The greatest use would be self-actualization, where people might have something they're interested in but maybe aren't very good at or not talented in can instantly become a genius.
>>737141998Isn't there an entire questline where some researchers neuromodded themselves into musicians for a party and you need to play their song to have a fight night with some Typhon?
>>737142384>>737142796I am talking specificaly about those giving you alien powers. That's why i said "Typhon" based like they call them in game. The ones you two mention are human based.

>>737141998Ever seen matrix? That scene where Neo learns Kung-Fu in less than a minute? Or when they need to pilot a chopper so they download the manual and piloting skill on the fly? That's what neuromods are.Imagine having to cut down training a soldier in the use of certain equipment from months, maybe years to mere seconds. Tank operators no longer requiring training, snipers that can calculate and counteract wind speeds the second they pick up a gun.Humanity strives from the fact that we have a millenia old quantity of knowledge but the problem is that to progess and improve you need to learn the basics first and then can work on more efficent ways. Install quantum physics in high school children and you can have rocket scientists that send people to different galaxies in their 20s.
>>737143423Doubt Alex was talking about Morgan being good at football when he said that he became something higher the day he installed typhon based neuromods.

>>737143883Typhon neuromods are mostly research stuff that hasn't found a real use yet. Which is why they have a fuckload of ex-cons shipped to Talos 1 and the moon base to further test them and learn what they can. Imagine mimesis that lets you reshape your face as you wish. Psych lift would be a godsend for rescue workers or even normal construction workers so they can save their asses. Fuck remote manipulation would be great for lazy fucks that wanna grab the remote from their couch. Need I go further?
>>737141998Hello? You can blow people the fuck up?
>>737141998The Typhon ones were never available to the public.
>>737143836Telekinesis has broad applicationsThe elemental powers advance to resistance which would be incredibly useful for firefighters, arctic researchers, electriciansMind control would become a fetish community
>>737143153Ah I misunderstood since you said "Typhon based neuromods" (even though all neuromods are typhon-based) and not Typhon powers specifically.In that case I'd say pseudo-military (police, security) would indeed be a big part. Anything requiring hard labor would see use for it too though: construction, oil rigs, mining, transportation; as well as humanitarian causes like search & rescue (remember that guy stuck in the cavern? imagine if someone could just turn themselves into a ball, roll over to him, and inject him with a neuromod so that he too could turn into a ball).
This game sucked badly.
>>737141998Did you play bioshock blind? Incinerate to light a fire anywhere, light an oven, defrost a chicken in a secondWinter Blast would be great for people living in arid areas that don't have access to constant AC, so just keep a guy stocked on EVE and let him keep the freezers up and running. Fuck even more mundane shit like creating an ice rink or maybe rescue workers for firefighting.The only one that really is mostly combat exclusive are the target dummy and lift traps really.
>>737144094Yeah you're right. Shame that we'll never get Prey (2017) 2. Imagine if the nullwave ending was canon which lead to all that cool tech Talos 1 was making into commercial/military use. Neuro junkie survivors who are a mix of Cyber psychos and Splicers. Running rampant through what's left of earth. Transtar talked about making the q-beam into a mass producable weapon so imagine if instead of generic AR's we had q-beam rifles. Hell maybe we'd even get System Shock 2's alien weapons back. It already showed potential with spores in Mooncrash so why not double down on it? Prey had better sequel potential than Dishonored.
>>737144215Well neither were the human based ones. They had to kill dozens of prisoners to get enough of them for a few hundred employees. To get them into commercial use they'd need industrial scale human sacrifice facilities.
>>737144728Neuromods were officially on the market for people to use. But the stuff the general public had access too were hobby skills and shit, like a neuromod to make you a pianist.
>>737144838In the nullwave ending Alex introduces them to the public. One of the employes tries to send a few neuromods to her cancer ridden mother because they aren't officialy in commercial use. The only non Talos 1 employees using them are maybe the board of directors.
>>737141998Transtar is an amoral entity. They would find a use for mindjack. Copying typhon powers with neuromods is the first step. The goal would be to cultivate them into more useful mods over time. Fire typhon just want to kill you as fast as possible and that is the extent of their use of fire. A neuromod that lets you spawn fireballs wouldn't be practically useful, but a neuromod that could turn you into a firebender from ATLA would be much more practical.
>>737144543I'm still holding out that maybe Microsoft does something cool and we get Prey 2. I doubt it though. Arkane died when Prey came out.
the gloogun sux btw
>>737141998>The only three i can think of that could be useful are regeneration, machine mind and the gravity well thing.That's more than enough even if that were it.
