Revisiting System Shock 2 Options

[Wounded Ronin]

So, I'm playing System Shock 2 again which I got off of gog.com.

Last time, years ago, I played a marine. I thought this time I'd do something different and play a psychic.

I'm several hours in and I think I'm just going to restart the game and go navy this time. Psychics really, really suck.

The powers are difficult to toggle and use, they aren't very powerful, and at the same time they are kind of a resource drain since you invest in leveling them up and in buying psi hypos.

The psychic amplifier takes up a lot of space in your inventory and you can't really discard it if you're trying to rely on psychic powers.

It's becoming such a pain in the ass to play as a psychic that I am through with it. It is amazing how I had such a great time playing the game the first time through as the marine, but it's such a drag playing as a different character class.

Well at least it's not one of those stereotypical RPG situations where the psychic is stupidly overpowered and makes the other character classes obsolete.
