So, in DX: No Subtitle, are the tranq darts supposed to take like 5 minutes to work? I'm finding them useless because as soon as a tranq a guy in the face, he flips out, runs for backup, and comes back with dudes with flamethrowers and guns.
Am I missing something? It seems like the only way to take a guy down quietly is a prod to the back of the head, coupled with a knife jab to the neck.
Everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty
i juuuuust beat the first one for the first time ever. i never did finish it, apparently.
i went back and did all three endings. clearly the dark age one is the "real" ending, but it's my least favourite - i would have preferred a bit more flesh on the Helios ending. i think that one is my fave.

How've you decided the dark age ending is the "real" one, exactly? Also, actual spoilers pertaining to part 2.
The ending of part 1 is 'retconned' so that all three endings happen simultaneously.

A non-lethal take-down is always the most silent take-down.

It seems to make marginally more sense than The Warp in the West, as these things go.

Right, I assumed that, but I can't get these fuckers to go down! The prod seems like it works sometimes, if I get them juuuuust right in the right spot on their neck. But how else can I take them down non-lethally? The tranq crossbow is useless, and it takes a right thrashing with a blunt weapon to knock someone out. What am I missing?

Stick with the Prod. Prod with the Prod.
But seriously, the take down point is closer to the back part of the neck than the head. Or there's also one in the knees, right about if you have your view level and crouch walk behind them

Stick with the prod. Just in case though, we're police.

A Prod or Baton to the back will knock them out in one hit. The Tranq Darts are useful when you have one isolated enemy to pick off, but don't have a good path to Baton them (they're facing the door you're entering, for example). With the Tranq, you need to hit them and then run around a corner. They quickly go into panicked mode, and just as quickly fall over.

Oh god our memes have crossed over into genuine discussion.
I remember the game mentioning that there's a spoke on the lowerback that can take guys out in one shot. Or, I think I remember. But it never worked for me all the time. It must be incredibly precise. I also found out recently that you can actually walk into guys without alerting them to your presence.
Ever since I started using the crowbar though I've just been clubbing people in the back of the head. It seems like a sensitive enough spot to one-shot people. Try the baton / charger there.
I always used the prod on the lower back, not the neck.
As for the tranq darts, you just need to use them on guys who are out on their own, away from other gaurds and alarms. Maybe it was because I used to play on Normal or Medium or whatever, but the guys couldn't run that far before passing out.

Back of the neck or the knees, I think. It's easier with upgraded melee skill.
You know, for a game that's not all that well known the original has a shit ton of memes.
Not well known?
Not well known in the same way as COD or Halo or Final Fantasy or Quake or Doom or Half-Life or any other various franchise that's been popular or in the media since 2001. The vast majority of gamers I know have never heard of it or if they have never played it.
Death of Rats on
No I don't.

I maxed out my silent running augmentation and all of a sudden the game transformed. It's gone from me plugging people at a distance to me running up behind them and crowbaring the fuck out of 'em. Maybe on another run I'll make a melee character based on this, only with a baton so I can be a wuss and let them live. Plus, Biomod makes one of the augmentations add EMP damage to melee attacks which should be interesting.
Crap, I thought this was unlocking at 11PM central, not 2AM. DAMN YOU VALVE TIME!
No I don't.

Okay, I have to get back to a little bit more of the first Deus Ex before I hit the sack for work in the morning. To everyone that's going to be playing this later tonight / all day tomorrow, I hope it lives up to the hype and I hate you and am massively jealous.
First run through I'm going to just play what feels right. If I can get a nonlethal take down, ill go for it. But in no situation will I pass up explosive revolvers. That is just madness

I didn't ask for this.
But that is not now.
Your turn.
Desperate!
Why I fear the ocean.
Desperate.
Just a suggestion.

What a shame.
Enjoy arm-blading dudes in my absence.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

I hope you have time to beat it in one day. :bz
Hmm
I wonder if the Blade Runner final cut is still on Netflix

This made me laugh far more than it has any right to.
