I would like to dedicate my latest death in Sword of the Stars: The Pit to Dusk Golem, the guy who gave away the game.
I didn't even know the disease status went up to level 5, but apparently when it does and you start to go blind and lose consciousness there's a good chance you'll drop dead during one of your blackouts, even with full health.
I got the disease form a harmless looking red blob named a Beast Virus that did trivial damage but had a high chance of infection. I figured I'd shoot the giant bug with the scythes for arms that was hacking away at me first. Wrong choice. Shoot the blob first. Always shoot the blob first. Their whole race is one fuck you after another in this game. Equipment damage, disguising themselves as goodie boxes, grappling and poisoning you. Ignore the war bots, forget the giant rats, never mind the cyber moon bears. Shoot the blob.
