Yeah. I actually accidentally progressed the main story twice because I was just exploring randomly and found what I was supposed to be looking for and skipped the middle step. It's really nice how they don't handhold you - they give you just enough info and then let you loose.
I think this and Doom are a great pair of games that illustrate how first-person shooter games can be soooo different that the typical COD-two weapon linear path. I'd love to have a Bioshock Infinite follow-up where I could explore Columbia like Talos I and have the same skill tree setup and freedom.

Some ideas on how to deal with your situation:
Perhaps set up some turrets and craft/use a typhon lure to move the phantom and technopath?
Get some recycle charges, which can do a ton of damage and also provide raw materials.
Can you do what you need to do on the computer via the nerf gun?
At the very least, you can go off and do sidequests, scavenge for materials to craft a medikit and ammo, and you'll most likely find some loot.
Mimic an item in your inventory and roll/sneak past the enemies to your computer terminal... combo that with a typhon lure...
Just go explore somewhere you haven't been yet to get more items/loot.
Mostly human, the only Typhon abilities I used were morph and the AOE attack. I'm definitely going to focus on Typhon abilities next playthrough since that seems to be the stronger route.

I've run into a huge progress stopping glitch at the end of the game and was wondering if anybody has any idea how to fix it?
I can continue without doing the quest but then it feels like I've ruined my entire playthrough.
I can't save Dahl during his quest. Once the huge typhoid shatters the Arboretum I'm told to carry Dahl to the med bay there. When I do nothing happens, if I leave the area it says that he dies and I've got no saves from before the event triggers.

Just met a character that has the terrible skin condition called Vitiligo. I find this interesting cause in not many games, if any have I ever seen people with that skin condition. It's nothing groundbreaking or anything but quite rare I guess is the right word.

There's a post-credits scene.
I'd say about 40% into the story

I was doing that, had to turn the difficulty down to easy, going Typhon only is quite hard, as all of the powers that help it like increased psi pool are human

Ah sweet. Thanks.
I've been playing on PC, but I have a few friends on PS4. Just wanted to double check, before I let them know.

that really, depends, about 90% of the game opens up as soon as you enter GUTS, which is about a third of the main story.
I'd say crew quarters is about half of the main story, but you could have seen a good 80% of the station at that point. I did when I got to crew quarters.

hmm, this game was too good for me to wait for the input lag fix that just came out. i guess it'll be nice in later playthroughs.

I know, which is a major frustration.
I have a question regarding one area in Power Plant and how to get into a room (minor location spoiler):
I am trying to find Jean Faure, if it matters. Do I really have to GLOO my way up?
In the humongous reactor core room, there is a vent behind a locked door on the top level (in the broken elevator shaft). How do I open this room?

I did
Seems it was the only way, thanks!
played prey for 5-7 hours straight last night from 10-12am to 5-6am. got me hooked. fully upgraded shotgun and psychoshock 3 = winner. completed at 15 hours (did most of side quests, not all - i thought some of the side quests just dragged on too much so i end up not bothering to do all. i might if i do another play through on harder difficult with different abilities). i didn't enjoy flying around in the outer space around talos 1; it was too slow and boring; that was the only big flaw of the game for me. and the twisted ending was neat.
performance in prey (pc version) started to suffer at
. the performance continued to suffer for bout an hour even after i left
. restarting it fixed the performance issue (i was taking a break for 5-10 mins - didn't know restarting it would fix the issue). other than that, an excellent port.
prey has strong legs to continue being sold decently imo to warrant a sequel thanks to it being excellent and positive word of mouth. expect a sequel.

Have you noticed any frame rate drops? I don't mind if it's only minor drops or instances.
There is a bit of stutter and tearing introduced, but it is very minor and only in specific areas.
Overall the game is immensely better and more playable on the PS4 now that input lag is gone.
It's also a lot easier now that you can actually aim at things.

I just want to explore as much of the map as possible at a slower pace maybe.

You don't need leverage. You can actually blow up explosive canisters to move large objects. The others I mentioned are basically combat mods. Make sure you get mimic as soon as you can. That allows you to get to many different places.
I've just noticed that although your own torch doesn't cast real-time shadows, picking up a lantern it does. I'm always disappointed when your torch doesn't cast shadows, so it's a bit odd that one source does and the main source doesn't.
Ah well. Input lag seems to be gone after the latest patch too.

I realized before I took leverage 3 that I could just pick up and throw level 2 items into the level 3 stuff and knock it out of the way 95% of the time, saved me a lot of mods I would've used otherwise early
32 hours in and still feels like I have quite a bit left.
. Do I have a few hours left?
Gotta say, this is by far one of the very best games I've played in a long, long time. It feels like a perfect blend of the new Deus Ex games, BioShock, Dishonored, and even older RPGs such as Gothic & S.T.A.L.K.E.R with some good persistent environmental/world state changes and Alien: Isolation for the
. Aside from some crashes and minor bugs, plus the judder in the latest patch, this is a perfect fit for my taste.
I just got the mission to scan the Coral and have done quite a few side-quests

I only played from start to halfway through hardware labs on ps4pro. Slight occasional judder but nothing that distracted me too much.

Some gameplay clip i recorded. Before patch you couldn't turn nearly as fast as you can now, really suits the gameplay better.

I'm that guy in threads always saying how lame video game stories are. The less the better, fuck Uncharted 4, etc. But Prey has been the very rare exception. The dialogue, characters, setting, mysteries, story moments, etc. are all really adding up to be something special to me. Even moreso than other games in this genre. It's familiar territory, but everything is handled really well and I'm actually intrigued.
I hope it has a tight ending.
Edit: How many endings are there?

"Hey Phantom, take this Eel tank bigger than you!"
I also love the "the Bionic Woman"-style sound effect when you pick up the objects.
What's the deal with the eels? Just a call back to dishonoured?
Same jellied eels model I think.
It was a cool detail.
I've never seen people with vitiligo in any form of media. Be it ads, tv, movies, video games.

Lazy devs reusing assets!
But seriously, I failed to make that connection despite playing plenty of Dishonored.
Dishonoured expanded universe, book it.
not really since prey timeline being 'real' until the space race.
Just out of curiosity on the escape pod side quest,
And yes I'm not even in GUTS yet, and I've had this game since launch lol. I can't do more than an hour or 2 at night, too intense. Clearing out the nueromod division was rewarding though.
was it possible to stop January from killing December? I was thinking maybe if I killed January beforehand, assuming that is even possible.
