I still think thermal clips are a legitimate advancement of the technology that were just poorly implemented in the game.
I don't have a preference on rebooting only because I just started anyway, but it looks like everybody want to continue and I'm cool with that too.
I seem to recall Kygg creeping Mark out with a thumbs up while getting him drunk. The Kasy making life difficult for him and drawing a crowd which Roland was then pushed through after being detained, which in turn pissed Mark off more, then he assaulted one of the leaders of Quantum, getting himself detained, thus making humans look doubly bad while Tanya tries to explain to the Hanar that humans aren't so bad. Which was hilarious.
