Realistic is the only way to play.
I noticed on realistic if you take anything from behind the bar the cybernetic barmaid opens up, if you kill her someone shouts out something like "The bartender is dead! Free Drinks!"

A lot more games could do with places that are "yours", but exists as a safezone in the game world. On of my big gripes with GTA4 is that you could get apartments, but couldn't do anything with them. No equipments storage, no respawning special equipment for getting hidden packages (why the hell did they stop doing that after GTA Vice City?), and even the car storage was shit. Wow, I can store... 2 cars.
I want to be able to stash equipment for later. Store items I find in the game but may not need. Having an untouched place that just holds on to your stuff is a remarkably immersive event.
And in regards to Jock
you can go to his apartment? AND KEEP HIM FROM DYING?!?!
...
......
You guys can go straight to hell. I'm reinstalling and it's all your fault.
Yeah it took me 4 years to find it, I was surprised I did not find it earlier. So much awesome.
I found it once and then I lost it and then I found it again years later and currently I've forgotten how to get to it, and where you get the key from.
(you can get free items in San Andreas from graffiti, clams, and something in los venturas)
(I'm trying to play Invisible War. it keeps crashing at new game)

Actually, you can get stupid shit in San Andreas from those hidden items (wow, boosted sex appeal. Glad I hunted down 100 clams for that...) In Vice City and GTAIII, every ten hidden packages added a new item to your safehouses. I like the Jamaican guy who sold you weapons, but compared with starting every load with new body armor and reloads and replacements for your weapons, having to call the guy then drive out to him was just a pain in the ass. Killing TWO HUNDRED PIGEONS to get access to a single helicopter you can swipe off the top of a building is just stupid.
Was it really just too much to ask to have body armor at every safehouse?

I had a case of "regular game stupids" and thought that there was nothing I could do about it
Basically I forgot I was playing Deus Ex and my actions had an actual impact on the game

I certainly noticed him, I just didn't think killing some random mechanic would magically make a bomb show up. Stupid me for not knowing how the real world works.
Also I never found the actual guy in game who says I SPEELT MY DREENK

It's more that your paranoia about him makes everyone else recheck everything again and they discover the bomb that way. If you're not especially paranoid nobody thinks to recheck things and discover it

You can just ask the head of the Illuminati about his sketchy ass.
Seeing as how they did everything but dress him up like Snidely Whiplash.
Everyone should basically read this article about Deus Ex. It explains very well why it is among the best things this video game medium has produced. It's one of the few games that made me really feel it was a tabletop RPG where you could do anything.

I didn't know you could talk to Everett about it. I watched the thing on youtube and realized why I didn't do that. Everett is fucking far. But at least that solution makes sense to me. I am content again :P
I've played this game three times now, but I never had a computer to run it with the full specs. Now, however, I have a Macbook pro. If I buy the Mac version, does it run well under an Intel Mac? I have the windows version, but I don't want to install bootcamp.
The only thing Deus Ex lacked was the option to punch someone to death with my bare hands. Stuff, you could use a crowbar but it just doesn't have that personal touch.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to install bootcamp. Deus Ex was never updated for OS X, much less Intel Macs. Which is a damn shame.
If Deus Ex 3 is crap, then I've always wanted to make a mod where you play as an early nanoaug agent and you're an assassin for Page/Simons, of course it would have pretty much the exact same gameplay as the original with some new augs, and smarter enemies. Also a whole new storyline. If it ever turns out, I would make it on Cryengine 2, which I'm planning to learn to map with. Too bad I can't code or anything. Theres a crapload of stuff you would need to add to the engine to make it Deus Ex style. (Changing storyline, multiple choice conversations, stat system, health system, inventory system.)
In an interview with Edge magazine, published tomorrow, Dugas says the original Deus Ex was “kind of slow”. He added, “There weren’t enough exciting, memorable moments. It was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience.”
But he said developer Eidos Montreal would not attempt to dumb down the much-loved RPG-shooter franchise. “At this point we don’t know exactly which platforms we’re going to be out on. The PC, we’ll be there for sure. But for us, console-isation isn’t about dumbing down features. If we’re to go console we will want to keep the complexity alive. We want the menu interface and controller to feel simple without risking any of their potential"
EDIT: Damn you all beating me.
So expect it to be more Gears of War and less Deus Ex basically.
You know they don't get it when one of the best games ever is considered not particularly memorable.
So apparently, according to DX3's lead designer, DX1 was "too slow" and "was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience"
:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|D:
Fuck.
I'm playing through this game for the first time, and I don't see how it can get any better than this.
No other game has made me feel for characters in the game like this, not even Bioshock with the Little Sisters.
I just blew up a tanker full of a deadly virus that could wipe out New York, good stuff right? The only problem, right before I did it, I read the captain's email and one of the messages was his little daughter talking about she really wanted to see him again, and how bad men were coming and watching me and mommy.
Inferring that the Captain is being forced to do this job.
With the speed the original Deus Ex went over their head, I'm surprised the developers have any hair left.
Maybe I should finally bother figuring out the original DX editor and script me a hell of a twisted series of events. Edit - I see I'm not alone in this.

Problem is I've never used UnrealED and I wager my maps would suck, but yeah, better get started since it looks like DX3 is going to suck from the same cock that DX2 heartily throated.

Nice read, I'd never thought about how flexible Deus Ex is compared to other games.. Really puts it into perspective.

I've only done rudimentary stuff in Hammer and Unreal Ed 3, so I'm a huge noob to it as well. I'll see what Unreal Ed 1 is like.
