I think it took months but I got to the point where I just couldn’t get any further into the game due to no health or psi and several mobs to get past.Īfter a year or two I ended up restarting the game and running with the…marine? Army? The shooty one with the ability to use lots of weapons and stuff. I started out as an OSI psychic agent, but those hypos were so hard to find and I had bugger all weapons skills so flailing about with a wrench was about all I could do most of the time. I also was at the time when I had to everything in hard difficulty, so yeah it was tough.
