    Just did it. Simon gets maaaad

    I'm sure it's meant to reveal some dark secret, but I think we all knew how Simon ran things as soon as we saw him for the first time.

    So is there any way to get praise for Hell's Kitchen? I keep getting remarks about the shootout, but I don't know how to prevent that...

    Don't forget to shoot the prisoners before Simons can, so he'll say "Jesus Christ, Denton!"

    Haha that's awesome, wish I'd thought of that.
    is there any way to stick with UNATCO?

    No. That's about the only failure in the game. There's not a "bad guy" path or a "reform from within" path.

    They start shooting before you even round the corner, so there's no way to prevent the battle. Other people's responses seem dependent on how many NSF you, personally, kill outside the hotel. Take down enough of them (usually about three or four) and you'll hear the troopers say something like "You took out the guy that got Jones. Serves him right, huh?" Too few and they'll jump straight to "We'll take it from here."

    There may be other flags too, like whether you take the gas grenades, but I know that alone isn't enough either way. Apart from those troopers, you'll hear about it from Lloyd back at the base. JC's response to Manderley also changes accordingly.

    As to your spoiler,
    no, there isn't. Interestingly, there is dialog for Paul if you return without actually sending the signal - but after finding the evidence - that seems to indicate you still don't believe him, but nothing happens until you do.

    Hm. Weird. You killed everybody while they were green/friendly? Never done that before.

    Its pretty neat. If the event works
    Walter Simon's makes a remark about how none of the guards are responding to communique and assumes you killed/knocked them all out. He makes the typical threats about your kill switch and leaves.

    They really did account for pretty much anything. Like the hidden "interrogation" scene that you can either watch or conduct.

    Wait

    You can conduct that?

    Just get your ass downstairs before walton does.

    Only in a game like Deus Ex can this happen.

    As I recall, you can only enter when he does. You talk to one guy, he talks to the other one. Still, I loved when I found that out.

    Oh man, here's one of those moments that makes Deus Ex so great. So easy to miss, yet it adds a great dose of flavor:
    If you go to Maggie Chow's apt, you'll see a balcony on the adjacent building. If you hop down and break in, you'll discover it belongs to Jock, and there's a message from Paul admitting he sent you and the other agents to die at the airfield

    Actually, you don't need to beat Simons downstairs. If you get up next to the glass and aim right where it joins the wall (or floor, I can't remember), you can target the NSF guy and talk to him from outside the room.

    Ten years on and still finding shit. God, I love this game.

    There are other ways into there. Including with a key.

    It's also possible to place objects infront of the door so that you can enter but simmons doesn't. Not to mention the use of cheats to just pass through the wall without him.

    I'm not sure if we are allowed to talk about this, but it is legal so I am going to mention it anyway. Can you use some no-CD crack for it?

    Perfectly legal way around that is to find DeusEx.ini in DeusEx\System, open it up in notepad, and look for a line that says "CdPath=D" (or whatever drive). Just delete the drive letter and leave it as "CdPath=" and you're good to go.

    Thanks for the tip Stolls. I did what you said and it fixed that problem, but now I get an error immediately after that point.
    Critical Error

    Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file for package 'Engine'

    History: UGameEngine::Init <- XGameEngineExt::Init <- DDeusExGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

    Going to do some Google detective work but thought I'd put it up here in case this is a known problem someone's heard of before.


    edit: just tried a reinstall and it gets pretty much completed then gives me another error, which I actually got the first time I installed it but spazzed out and clicked it shut before I could read it.
    Critical Error

    Failed reading source file: ..\Maps\15_Area51_Page.dx (Data error (cyclic redundancy check).)

    The source media may be bad. If installing from a CD, try cleaning the CD to remove any dirt, check your CD drive, and try again.

    I assume the two are connected. The CD is spotless so I dunno what's going on there.

    It doesn't show much in the way of RPG-ness, but neither would a gameplay trailer (keyword trailer!) for Deus Ex 1. You never really see stat pages and number work in trailers outside of Nippon Ichi games or something.

    You're saying that he sounds like solid snake circa MGS1, rather than MGS2 and beyond.

    Hmm...IMDB lists Adam Jensen as being played by Elias Toufexis. Interesting. He was Andrei Kobin in Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Frederico Auditore in Assassins Creed 2. Definitely a Montreal based voice actor judging by his previous work.

    Just watched this.

    Having only played the opening mission of Deus Ex, and all the way through Deus Ex 2... I don't give a fuck which game this is closer to in style.

    I am getting such a MGS "evolved" vibe off this that it hurts. And I like it. The graphics are amazing. Maybe that's why I'm getting this vibe; it looks like they're doing the gameplay engine cutscene dance. I just hope this doesn't fall apart. I need something to look forward to other than RB3 and Castlevania: LoS.

    Rainbow Six Vegas was fantastic, so there's nothing to fear from regarding gameplay. That's highly likely to be awesome.

    The world they created seems great as well. Don't seem to be any problems with that either.

    Definitely something worthy of looking forward to I'd say.

    Sorry for the late reply. Sounds like it's a single corrupted file. Pop the disc in, copy that same file from the same directory on the disc (\Maps\15_Area51_Page.dx), drop it into your install location and see if that works. If the error message changes to another file, try copying the CD to your computer and installing from the copy. If neither works, the disc itself might be bad.

    Also, if you're running on Vista or later, you may want to grab the config tool. Basically you put it in place of DeusEx.exe in \system and it gives you finer control over graphic settings. Probably not related to the crash, but wouldn't hurt if you're running at a non-standard resolution.
