The fact that System Shock 2 is basically a survival horror when it comes down it is why I'm not all that interested in the recent announcement of System Shock 3. I didn't mind SS2 with respawning turned off in the configuration file, basically turning it into an FPS/RPG hybrid. That didn't completely disable the respawning though, and the little bit that remained was bad enough to make me very glad I wasn't playing the game the way I was supposed to be. I never finished it though. By the time you got to the final level, the other space ship, it become a real slog, and really difficult.
