I've played through stuff like the STALKER games >(even restarting after radiation bug in 1st game -read up on that >llittle gem) without rage-quitting like I did SS2 though. Note that System Shock 2 probably has more in common with survival horror games then first person shooters. You aren't ever supposed to feel safe. You aren't supposed to kill everything you come across with near unlimited ammo reserves and then clear the level. This will break immersion and kill the mood of the game. The game just wouldn't be the same without respawning. With that said, the game could have toned it down somewhat, especially in some areas like in Engineering. Or it could have tied respawning to difficulty level which it did not do.
