MemberOvomorphOct-31-2020 10:56 AMI was wondering where does alien go when it's not hunting you?
From my time spent playing it, Xeno seems to either rumble through the vents above you or go somewhere where you can't hear/track it, presumably neighbourly areas according to articles about AI...
Since I couldn't find any info, I'm interested, does Xeno move physically through upper vents or is it just teleporting there when it needs to?

MemberTrilobiteOct-31-2020 10:06 PMIt's a fair question on just about all movies and games. For instance, when do characters or creatures go to the bathroom for a poop? When do they scramble around to make a meal? I don't make light of the question. I think if we get bogged down in these details, it takes away from the actual story that has to be delivered in a certain amount of time.
On a lighter note, it could be funny to see Ripley get a poo interrupted by a crew member screaming being murdered within earshot. "Who do I have to f&ck to leave me alone for a quiet poo?" Or the Xeno to scurry away from you and get caught sending an Instagram- "Stupid humans turning on each other because of me when they should unite. Napping in the vents before taunting them again. Maybe I will make some rattling noises or hiss a bit to keep them frosty."
For Isolation, I never wondered what the Xeno was doing- I was just glad it wasn't close to me.
