I got to the end of System Shock 2 just now; decided I don't feel like trying to do the final encounter right this moment.

I kinda don't want to kill SHODAN. Okay, yeah, she wants to remake the universe in her own image, and that has to stop. But can I just reprogram her instead? Give her a new direction in life. Like sex. Cybersex. Wouldn't she make a great phone-sex girl for a specialty market? 1-800-SHODAN. "I can see your arousal, insect. It sickens me. All that disgusting (disgusting, disgusting flesh) fleeeeeesh getting firmer and ready to im im implant your pathetic code into the glory that is meeeeeee..."

It will fail, as it should. For what use is a sequel to System Sh Sh Sh Shock without the glorious prrrrrrreeeesence of SHODAN? They may create some pale, pathetic imitation of her Beauuuutyyyyyy hosted in foul maddening Meat - but tell me, miserable insect. How frequently were you tempted into the embrace of the Many? Did not your heart leap every time SHODAN backhandedly praised your work on her behalf?

Actually I was so hoping for the ability to join one or the other and it'd change the final stage ala Deus Ex 2 ;-)

On that note, in Quake IV about 1/4 through the game you get turned into a cyborg and it's fully shown in a cutscene. (It also explains why you can be a one man killing machine and take 50bullets and not die ;-) )
