Yeah, you can only equip stuff, infuse with Residuum etc, in-between areas.

Went after my first additional slab last night and got myself the "Blink" ability (Think it's called "shift" here) from Charlie, then made sure I had enough Residuum to infuse and keep it. It's a great ability that immediately makes the game feel even more like Dishonored.

It's such a strange mix of genres and other games as well.
There's rogue-like elements, Dark Souls elements, Majora's Mask, looter-shooters, all layered on top of Dishonored style worlds.

But it seems to work somehow, especially once you get past the initial tutorial and it's info-dump screens.

It's clear that the whole game is essentially going to be about powering yourself up to the point where you are capable of taking out all of the Visionairies within the one-loop. It's something that could potentially vary wildly from player to player too. If you're clever enough, once you know where they are all going to be you could potentially get them all relatively early. I'll be very interested to see how different people approach it.

Ive always wanted to ask this... what's with the Ian Beale avatar?

Cheers Proto.

I've avoided invading as apparently Juliana can say some spoilery things while it loads.

I still think the difficulty level is a bit out of whack, definitely feels like the whole thing has been balanced around playing on a controller so with KB+M you feel seriously overpowered. Enemies seem dumb as strawberry float compared to Prey/Dishonored as well - their ability to see/hear you is virtually non-existent at times, which is probably the biggest shame as it somewhat trivialises stealth. I don't think any of this puts a huge dent in the experience - it's a power fantasy game in many ways so who cares if you rarely feel massively under threat. But it would be nice to have a bit more stretch to it.

I'm terrible at FPS games and this looks amazing, so the news that the difficulty level isn't too high makes me seriously tempted.

It takes a while whilst doing "matchmaking" which is fair enough I guess (although something to entertain the player when this drags on would be nice) but then when it's done matchmaking it just sits saying "Connecting ..." for ages before giving up
