I was around when the ShockEd was about and tried to contribute material then. With the coming of NWN, I transfered my project to design my own "Sytem Shock" style game there. It's great to see this game still receieving the attention it deserves, and while I did buy and play Bioshock, I still miss the greater RPG elements that came with SS2. By the way, if anybody is interested in playeing my own module (a definite homage to System Shock 2), then feel free: It's called Soul Shaker: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=5418 (NWN with expansions required.) I stil dream of a System Shock 3 with the same gaming elements as the originals. I still have both SS1 (original and enhanced version) and SS2 (original) and hope I might play them again some time in the future, when the memory fades and the puzzles need rethinking. Lance.

I still remember seeing Hybrid and Midwife for the first time. :) Those were some creepy, long and scary nights. Sad I can never be immersed like that anymore. Long live Ken Levine's brains.

As a sort of creative director myself, I always find it difficult when my ideas about plot and character development clash with either the team's views or the limited budget we have to work with. It's inspiring to see how you've dealt with the same things without losing all your hair. :) Keep up the good work! You guys are amazing.
