Confrontations with larger Typhon like Telepaths, Technopaths and the formidable Nightmares are rarely head-on affairs unless you’ve piled Neuromods into your weapon skills. The D&D tribute is fitting, because Prey, while not an RPG, shares with the tabletop game an open, improvisational approach to each encounter.
