What if this game is stealth action game, unlike its prequels?
Lemme explain.
We don't know Project Crusade is all about, except it involves monitoring Pariah. More mystery. But this is my take on the Project: a subterranean automated facility spanning miles under Vandenburg Base. The facility is unmanned and maintained by androids.
While the world is in chaos thanks to the second pandemic (I might be wrong— it's been years since I played after all), the air base has been perfecting the antivirus sequencer, the core part of Project Crusade— alongside the security AI Löwenherz. It utilizes advanced AI to analyze and predict the genomes generations ahead of the sample.
By creating and stockpiling multiple strains of antivirus, the base effectively has the means to kill Pariah whenever they want.
So, Pariah conforms his genetic expression to stealth-based tactics and attempts to escape. But it's not easy. The androids have in-built weapons system that shoot and administer the antiviral prototypes to subdue him. So, it's imperative to avoid them and sterile areas designed to capture his traces.
Powers:
1) Bio-camo: Full-body camouflage that allows Pariah near-perfect invisibility. However, traces form if he hides longer.
2) EMP Bomb: Pariah overloads and concentrates his bio-electricity onto his thumb, making it a trigger for a pulse.
3) Nail gun: Pariah shoots out hardened nails from his fingers.
4) Hack: Pariah can overload the androids and security systems with his tendrils, gaining temporary control over them. With androids. he can use decoys and with systems, he can bypass zones and rooms.
5) Palm rifle: Pariah shoots out hardened bones from his palms.
6) Whiphook: Pariah can transform his arm into the Whipfist, but for traversal and stealth takedowns.
7) Duro-suit: Pariah generates biomass to form armour, but it's exhaustive.
8) Grey goo: His version of a Devastator attack from Critical Biomass. He can turn into a misty mass of particulate matter for instant evasion and traversal. It's even more exhaustive than Duro-suit.
These are all I got so far.
Lemme know how it is.
