The Alleged Car: The Von Braun suffers from numerous breakdowns, especially with its experimental FTL drive.The only reason XERXES is dangerous is because he's an obedient, faithful, efficient AI under the control of forces hostile to the player, and SHODAN's pre-Hacker audiologs and records say she's exemplary from what you find before Edward Diego forced the hacker to remove her ethical constrains. Is a Crapshoot: All of the artificial intelligences you meet happen to be antagonists of some stripe, though both SHODAN and XERXES require serious outside intervention before they become dangerous. Unfortunately, the only way to do so is to be assimilated into their hive, which isn't pretty, is exceedingly painful, and will erase your individual identity. Affably Evil: The Many are quite polite, very friendly, and genuinely want to make everybody they see happy and at peace.The skill system also means you have to tailor your character towards a specific build, rather than being able to use all weapons like in the first game.
