History Funny / Prey2017

* There are multiple emails related to a piece of equipment called "reployers", which nobody on the station seems to know the function of. One audio log has a frustrated cargo bay worker complain to an engineer about an order of them that he has no idea what to do with.

* Don't collect enough voice samples for [[spoiler:Danielle Sho]] to unlock Deep Storage before encountering her in the Fitness Center, and she'll give you an override code instead. What are some of the words used to describe Alex? "Pompous", "nepotist", and "[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Oedipus Complex]]". She ''really'' doesn't like Alex, and even grudgingly apologizes for insulting him to your face.

** Bonus points: apparently at least one such labeled item IS a mimic.

* In most games where zero gravity is involved, the player's character catches themselves on walls or generally just floats around without much problem as more of a gameplay set dressing than anything else. Here? Well, [[ShmuckBait don't boost too hard into that wall]] or Morgan (and thus the player) can very well [[RealityEnsues hurt or even kill themselves by forgetting that momentum in zero-G doesn't stop.]]

* In Psychotronics, it's possible to come across a Mimic sitting on a toilet. [[MundaneUtility Which you can then flush]] (and watch spin around in the bowl a bit before ''exploding''). It will spend the rest of the game as an oily puddle in that stall, squeaking at you.E

* Use the main lift in the lobby too much and eventually it'll lose power mid transit and a Phantom will board the elevator. Why is this funny, and not nightmarish? Because by the time you would even consider riding the lift enough times to trigger the event, you're probably toting a shotgun, at least a couple Typhon Neuromods, and absolutely zero shits about some random baseline Phantom trying to play games with you, resulting in a fight consisting of about two seconds of action and one splattered opponent, followed by irritation as the lift takes its time to come back online.

* The TabletopRPG [[DungeonsAndDragons Fatal Fortress]] and the audio transcribe found near it, detailing the misadventures of a certain Elias-- er, [[InsistentAppellation Captain]] [[LeeroyJenkins Stabfellow]] dying in the darkness somewhere. Other hilarious character names of note: [[InherentlyFunnyWords Hordinbaffle Flagdasterous]].

* When approaching Morgan's office for the first time, you can go through the secretary's desk and access their computer. The password to Morgan's secretary's computer? "[[HotScientist 0MG_H0tB0ss]]".

** Shoot a [=FlexiFoam=] bolt in the GUTS. Watch (and listen to) the hilarity of it bouncing around in this completely serious game, while making the same noises as a squeak toy.

* When approaching Morgan's office for the first time, you can go through the secretary's desk and access their computer. The password to Morgan's secretary's computer? "0MG_H0tB0ss".

* The corrupted Operators can be pretty terrifying to face, with their distorted voices and bright red optic sensors. But if you're stealthy in your first encounter with them, you can watch as one of them repeatedly smacks itself against a wall for a solid minute before finally altering its course.

* Alex ''really'' [[BerserkButton does not like Morgan going into his office without permission]]. Smash the crystal statue there, and he will immediately call [[WhatTheHellPlayer to reproach you]].

** Even better: if you or a Mimic copy a FlexiFoam bolt

* Alex [[BerserkButton ''really'' does not like Morgan going into his office without permission]]. Smash the crystal statue there, and he will immediately call [[WhatTheHellPlayer to reproach you]].

* In hindsight, everything to do with [[spoiler:the tests during the tutorial is funny. The scientists grow increasingly frustrated by the player's failure to manifest any Typhon abilities; the best part is how completely baffled they are in the "stealthy" test, as the player makes no effort to mimic the chair]].

* One of the scientists studying the Mimics tries to figure out the precise mechanism of their shapeshifting and comes up with three complicated and vaguely plausible TechnoBabble explanations. Some time later he adds a fourth theory out of frustration: magic.

* The TabletopRPG [[DungeonsAndDragons Fatal Fortress]] and the audio transcribe found near it, detailing the misadventures of a certain Elias-- er, [[InsistentAppellation Captain]] [[LeeroyJenkins Stabfellow]] dying in the darkness somewhere. Other hilarious character names of note: [[UnfortunateNames Hordinbaffle Flagdasterous]].

* Mimics can be unintentionally hilarious on occasion, sometimes changing into a blatantly obvious object in the middle of the floor, or when that medkit you ''really'' needed decides to jump off a table and scurry out the door...still in disguise.

* In hindsight, everything to do with [[spoiler: The tests during the tutorial is very funny. Watching the scientists get repeatedly frustrated by there inability to provoke the player to use Typhon abilities at all is simply funny. The best part has to be how completely surprised they are in the hiding test as they try to make sense of the player hiding behind the chair instead of mimicking it.]]

** [[WordOfGod According to Ricardo Bare]], not even the developers themselves know what the reployer's model is supposed to represent.

* The aforementioned [[https://prey.bethesda.net/journal/ journal]] has a few good chuckles in it, including Morgan's little chart of what the recycler will and won't recycle (the latter being a bowl of noodles and [[Main/SiblingRivalry Alex]]).
