feel kind of gyped

3rd play thru, never have made it as far as the junk yard. And I am just NOW learning that psi ability reduces your overall health by 25%? thats not quite the same as a wekaned immune system. No wonder I die easy. Is psy basically a junk trait that makes the game harder for no reason?

Different playstyle. Can be rough starting out, but once you've got levelled it offers so many options.

There used to be no reason not to take psi even on characters with no will, this was styg's answer to that. Probably should've had more will based feats and/or resistance, but there you go ;)

On higher level characters with energy shields it more than balances out, though.

While I haven't tried it since the penalty came with release, I would think if you wanted to branch into psi you should save it for later in the game. Not sure if that option is available, though, later on. Otherwise, yeah psi is pretty much just for the stealthy types now.

Didnt know that either. No regrets, however, and Im not even going heavy into psi. Kinetic Punch and Fear alone are worth it so far.

Is there some sort of Emperor Palpatine style lightning spell at higher levels? That would be sweet :)

Absolutely, electrokinesis and it's low level ;) It actually is probably the best psi skill there is, as it's stun on demand.

Maybe if you actually read the text in the game, you would have known that right after you swallowed the PSI pill.

Also PSI is amazing, especially if you take feats for it and know how to use the abilities
