Well, the shield only converts to energy after the first upgrade, which I just got, so hopefully, it will become more useful!
Fought the second big boss of the game. He was pretty easy since he was basically just a huge version of those crazy junk heap Conduits. It was still a fun fight though, cool atmosphere.
Seems like the game's coming down to the wire, so I'm guessing my time in the Historic District won't be very long. I got 98% clear in the Warren, too, just one more mission to go there, if I can figure out how to activate it. The plot's starting to get crazy. Having a hard time figuring out what's what.
Zeke turned out to be exactly what I thought he would from the beginning though.
