Im on my first playthrough of this and I think I'm near(ish) the ending. I presume that because it feels like the game was coming to its conclusion several times and several hours ago already although each time it didnt I was strangely pleased despite some complaints the game was way too long.
Anyway in terms of collectibles I really want to find all of the nostromo logs (not too fussed about the general ones on the computers I'll do a playthrough and get all of those another time) but if its going to take me an extra couple of hours to sneak around all the various locations ive previously been, to get into areas I couldnt before I think i'll just finish the game so I dont ruin the pacing of the last few missions.
I've got the level 3 door decoder device and the ion torch so there shouldn't be any doors (barring ones I still may need to find codes for) I now can't enter right? Im just past the bit where you see

. How long will it take to seek out the Nostromo logs before continuing on with the end of the game? If it only takes an hour I don't mind but I get the feeling im going to run into
Spoiler
multiple aliens everywhere I go now and its going to take f**king ages. Havent actually seen more than one together aside from cutscenes at this point and im playing on normal but ive heard it does happen.
So should I go find them or will it just ruin the last hour or so for me and I should just come back and do all that in another playthrough?
