What game-play wrinkles from the original do you hope they've ironed-out?

I want them to make the worm gun better. In the original it worked about as well as you would expect firing worms at people would do...

“Even though it came out pre-9/11, Deux Ex has a skyline without the trade towers; the game's backstory reveals that they were destroyed by terrorists. Let's hope the developers weren't as prescient with the game's pandemic plot line.” - 2009

Except this is about System Shock 2 and not Deus Ex, Mr. Bot.

I like that you even retained the typo from your irrelevant listicle.

Beep boop I can assure you with 99% accuracy I am Mr. Idiot, your confusion is understandable however

I mostly want them to fix spawning, so I don't see when enemies spawn.

Otherwise I never had any particular issues with bugs, and don't expect major gameplay changes since it's remaster not remake.

I still haven't gotten around to playing the system shock 1 remake, been too busy waiting for Rise of the Triad updates
