When the alarm is off, they follow their usual routines. They do respawn and charge you, if you trigger an alarm. This is not quite true to THAT extent, is it? Rather replay the level from the beginning (or, ideally from a save file). When you find yourself running headlessly around - stop. Every progression in the game is based on you making it to a 'new' level inside the ship.

If you ever feel you do not know what to do or where to go: stop and go to your Inventory screen. You will learn through time the different levels and places of the space ship. Familiarize yourself with spaces ("Medical" is over here.

where the next quest will be triggered.Īll of these single tasks are bound to specific spaces (open map). Remember, in the end, you always have to solve the immediate puzzle first" You are told the objective verbally, can find it in your message logs and even have a map at all times available. This is why players rave about how the space ship in SS2 is it's own 'character'. Not making you run from one 'arrow pointing down' to the next, is the strength of this game: it forces you to 'understand' the level, the structure, the 'space' of it. It takes a certain multi-level 'puzzle solving' engagement beyond the modern games precise location icon (including how far you are from it) But, this is also a strength of the game, as I would argue. "Find Grassi in Medical" is not as simple as "go from A to B". What maybe makes it confusing is the (A) cascading nature of the tasks? And (B) the lack of modern game in-game 'icons'. Or, at least, reassures you that you did not miss anything important.ġ. Maybe there is something that you might find hopefully helpful. I will try to address your 3 key problems - spoiler-free. It is a hard question to answer from one complete stranger to the other on the Internet? But I will try. It speaks highly of you to ask such a question in such a way.
