    Sarif sounded like a hippie-ass Silicon valley motherfucker who you shouldn't even trust to watch your dogs.

    So they knocked it out of the park is what I'm saying.

    I recall Toufexis saying a long time ago that Sariff's voice actor is a conspiracy nut. I guess not the easiest guy to work with.

    In that case, surely this is one franchise he'd be perfect for? If you have someone claiming they're being targeted by the Illuminati, don't you want someone who can really sell it?

    And a real serial killer playing Hannibal would be more authentic, but most directors probably wouldn't want to work with one.

    Because they're not real artists!

    Why am I hearing her speak in Sariff's voice?

    Does the bionic arm grant her the ability to punch through walls?

    What about the built-in-blades?

    On a more practical level, does the wrist have 360 degree rotation?
    Also, that face on the robot thing in the background freaks me out. I think I'd prefer a terminator skull.

    Dumb question:

    Is there a way to get the original to play nice with an Xbone controller on Windows 10 PC?

    It works fine for me (wired/wireless) on Win 10 (albeit I'm on build 1607 -- dunno if that changes anything).

    If you're talking about original original year 2000 Deus Ex, then that's a lot harder.

    It's whatever the GOTY edition from Steam is.

    Isn't there some app I need in order to map buttons?

    Despite owning Human Revolution and then DC since they came out, I never got around to playing it until now due to some valid issues at the time. Anyway, now I'm playing through HR:DC and I'm wondering about something. When you get a discount from a vendor, does that also affect your sale rates too? Do you get better prices on things you sell to them if you have a discount in place?

    Edit: NM It looks like it's just for your purchases.

    I'm guessing no.

    That'll be the next generation.

    Alt response: not yet, they're making sure she's comfortable with the power to choke the life from a person at her whim before giving her the higher power upgrades.

    Seriously that arm is fucking awesome. Between things like this and the Luke arm from a few years back, I'm really glad to live in a time where we're making great strides in prosthetics.

    Now the work on the day one patch begins!



    Apparently the PC requirements are coming soon as well, which surprised me as I thought they would be out by now. Good news is that DX12 is in and the conversion has been done by NIXXIES again, who have a really solid track record.

    I always figured that's what the new bad guy was referring to in the first trailer; "the promise of a golden age is over!" because the piss filter is disabled now

    Yeah, I was very glad to see they ditched the yellow filter. It didn't ruin the visuals, but having it literally everywhere definitely did not improve the otherwise-great visual design.

    In Human Revolution, during your first time in Detroit there is an apartment with a level 5 locked door. That door leads to an illegal clinic/augshop and there is a hidden Praxis point in there. Is this apartment associated with any quest, or is the front door code revealed anywhere like on a computer or PDA? I ask because I don't just want to bust in there and sequence break if a quest will bring me there later. I already explored a bit too much and ended up having to lose a few hours of gameplay by going back to an earlier save because I screwed something up by doing that.

    I really want that Praxis point, but I want to get it legit.

    If you got to it without glitching or anything, I don't think you're sequence breaking anything.

    Well, what I mean is that I went into the Morgue, for example, through exploration, and locked myself out of the conversation with the guy in the lobby. Had to go back several hours when I realized because not talking to him makes exploring the entire police station a nightmare.

    Honestly though the most important part of my question right now is if the code can be found anywhere/is given to you as part of a quest/sidequest, or if the door is ONLY hackable/explodable.

    AFAIK(remember) you only catch rumours of the apartment existing, but no side quest actually sends you there specifically, unlike say the Cop's apartment that you can completely rifle before the game sends you there.

    I _think_ there's a fence by the police station that you can hop over if you have augs, and there's a datapad back there with info on the clinic, but I don't remember if it's just the location or if it gives you the door code as well.

    I hacked all the hackable computers in the police station after talking my way through Haas. It took a lot of ridiculous box stacking and save-scumming. I'm a crazy person.

    About halfway through the game I stopped trying to be completely stealthy and would instead sneak through an area up until the point where I was discovered. Then I'd go apeshit and out came the explosives and automatics

    I have two modes of play. Stealth murder everyone with a silenced pistol and full on berserker rampage with automatics, explosives and murder blades. Oddly enough, you can turn Detroit into a graveyard and there are no repercussions.

    The way he prioritizes the Typhoon over the hostages. Him ordering Adam turnes into a weapon. Keeping that backdoor open despite it getting people killed on two seperate occasions. Giys a prick.

    The Typhoon is a high grade military weapon system that, in the hands of terrorists, could kill a lot more people than those few hostages. Sarif cares about his people, but the Typhoon matters more, both to his company and as a matter of lives at risk.

    Adam does need upgrades to survive, so giving him the best makes sense. Admittedly, some of the upgrades aren't essential, but considering who all's going to be gunning for Adam, it's... understandable, if ethically questionable.

    And yeah. Sarif's sometimes a dick with the backdoor. But considering who he's up against and what the information is worth, being a prick makes sense.


    The man's not a saint, but once the whole picture's in view... he's one of the least shitty people in power in any Deus Ex game, by far. And yes. That is kind of sad.

    Yeah, on my first playthrough I kept expecting him to turn on me. Like, he'd turn out to have a killswitch wired into me to make sure I couldn't go rogue or something. But no, even if he's keeping things from you, he's still backing you.
    He's got his secrets and agendas, but at the end of the day, what's his first reaction when you find him at the end?
    "Adam! Thank God! We've got wounded here, we'll have to move them first."

    I honestly don't remember much from the games, but I remember that while he seemed skeezy, he was ultimately aight with me. It was those other assholes that I really wanted to merk (the Illuminati)
