LOL awesome post. I never understood how you can get a ghost all tangled up in in a web/plant/anything material either.

To the OP. You owe my workplace a new monitor for that Blinding Powder comment. I shouldn't laugh so hard before swallowing my coffee next time.

If you think the automatons are sucking lately, then that's very good for Nemesis, since you won't be looking for the very important ones that don't have orders to act like piles of junk.

On an unrelated note though, I wish the Rikti had their own version of CSI. They could call it I: CS and it could have a Rikti Investigator who shows up to the crime scene, analyzes the evidence with a Probe sidekick, and then teleports in a pair of sunglasses and makes snappy one liners.

The problem with fighting Nemesis is that he has so many layers and branches to his plans, that no matter what we do, he seems to have usually anticipated it

And part of that is because [SPOILER] There are thousands of different Nemesis, hell, his army probably doesn't even understand who they're taking orders from all the time and just act like it.

Left 4 Dead is a pretty good example of this. Once you get barfed on and your screen goes all green with only vague, indistinguishable shapes shambling around, friendly fire is almost guaranteed. On the one hand, you're getting swarmed by zombies and you HAVE to defend yourself, on the other hand, you can't tell what's a zombie and what's an ally.

I suspect the old fellow is having some supply issues... How many of those things do we smash on a daily basis? It can't be easy keeping the quality standards high when you have to rush production to keep up.
Besides, who puts their best models on a project tha's just going to be discovered by some meddling hero in a week or two anyway?

I think that was a mental detector, so both you and the automatons got through unnoticed.

See, I have a different take on him. It's not that his plans are all that sophisticated, it's that he's been around for so long that at some point he's tried practically everything. We just keep stumbling across pieces of his old plots that he's abandoned...possibly because he realized they were stupid.|

"I told you so."
"I knew that."
"I tried that YEARS ago."
"I expected you to do that."
He has all that steampunk stuff because he doesn't have access to newer technology, since he lives in his mothers basement.

What was I even talking about?
edit: Wait while I'm here, why do Tank Freaks leave their heads totally exposed? Hasn't anyone caught on that they can just shoot them in the head?
edit 2: Sorry I mean "arrest" them in the head
edit 3: Also, Hollow Point is a stupid fat idiot who needs to realize that if you want to "liberate" some people then you damn well better arrive on time to do it instead of someone who had to take a three hour helicopter ride just to get there.
edit 4: Oh, and not that I'm complaining, but why does blinding powder confuse enemies? What's the logic behind that? "OH GOD MY EYES, I WILL KILL EVERYONE FOR THIS"
