Deus Ex is amazing. Realistic difficulty is awesome. The Nameless Mod is also awesome. Deus Ex 2 is worth your time if you want more Deus Ex-esque gameplay but are okay with a meh-bad plot. That is all
Question about the baton: If I hit a guy in the right spot from behind while sneaking, I should score a one-hit knockout, right? I can get it to happen sometimes, but not always.
The baton has a sweet spot, it's right in the small of the back, above the ass. Hit them there, and you'll take down pretty much any humans. Does not work on mechs, obviously.

When the new Deus Ex comes out, they should straight up just jack VATS from fallout. I don't think anyone, including Bethesda, would cry.
... Of course my opinion may not count. I really just want VATS in every game now. I wanna push a button in SFIV, select Ken's head three times, and Tiger Knee it until it explodes.

Can we lock this until I get my Mass Effect character to 60?
I don't even have to reinstall it because it's like the first game that gets installed every time I get a new PC. Power up, install OS, install Deus Ex.

Pistols in Deus Ex felt fine during combat. They had believable recoil and stopping power but the shotgun and assault rifle always felt floaty to me. Maybe it's the sprinting with a shotgun in hand or maybe it's the guards soaking up assault rifle rounds but something feels terribly off about firefights in the game. Any mods out there that fix this floaty feeling?
Also, I just learned you can save the Sandra chick from becoming a runaway. Give the father who runs the Hilton hotel your pistol when he needs it - this never occurred to me even though I've played through the game a half dozen times.
Ah, JC Denton ... in tha fresh. You want Rucky Munney? I speell my dreenk!

As someone who is Chinese, the VA in Hong Kong never made sense to me. The place was a British Colony for a century. English is one of the official languages there. Why does everyone, regardless of social and economic standing in the game, talk like that? :?

You mean not everyone goes around saying "I AM CHINAMAN CHING CHONG" and the like? I'm shocked!
So this thread got me to reinstall for about the 4000th time. BUT with a twist. I installed the game on my netbook. And it actually runs surprisingly well at max detail. So that's that. I can now officially never escape this game. Fuck.
Also, while I fully support the killing of Anna Navarre, I can't abide all these brutish methods. She is a lady, after all.

Is there like an apology mod, to fix the racist VA?
This is weird because I've done the same thing as you, but last week. I bought Deus Ex for a dollar at Microcenter, and played the tutorial and a bit of the first mission. I wasn't really too impressed, but I told myself I'd try it at some point because of all the accolades. Also because my mom dated Warren Spector in college. Anyway, after playing late at nights with stereo headphones, I fell in love with Deus Ex. I'm at the same place you are, even. However, I stopped for friend and ladyfriend related reasons, but I'll fall back into it at some point. It's the music that really gets me, just like in Mass Effect.

I always thought Hong Kong was a totally realistic portrayal of the city and all Asian people in general.

You must find your mother.
You must yell at her for not marrying Warren Spector. She was a fool
I have the game too. I think I played the tutorial.
I'll be honest with you, I've fallen out of games lately, and FPSes were already never a favorite of mine. I'm very twitchy and tend to fire wildly when shit pops out at me. I can't ever play a game without godmode on because I will die.
I have three fucking discs of this. One PS2 version and two PC ones. I rebought it for the PC when I couldn't find the old disc. And now you tell me it's on steam.......... grrrrrrrr
Also, I just learned you can save the Sandra chick from becoming a runaway. Give the father who runs the Hilton hotel your pistol when he needs it
Seriously!?
Fuck I want to go and play this again now.
And I beat it for the fourth time like a month ago!
Actually
The way I remember it, there are 3 outomes if you get to the point where he wants your gun.
1) You give him the gun and he blows JoJos face off. I think Sandra gets annoyed or upset about this. I'm not sure.
2) You either give him the gun or refuse and ice JoJo yourself, making Sandra stay and everyone lives happily ever after in the slum that is that hotel.
3) Give him the knife (I do this anyway, just drop all your stuff on the ground and leave only a knife as your offensive weapon and you'll offer it to him. This works any time someone demnds to borrow a weapon from you like Gunther in the prison at the start) and watch him try to fight JoJo. He brought a knife to a gunfight.
Also, the Stealth Pistol sucks because it doesn't have the satisfying bang of the regular pistol and it looks kind of stupid. I have my Sniper Rifle for all my stealth shotting needs.
By the way, a good extra to try and get is the non-lethal speech options the first time you go to Battery Park and Hell's Kithen. If you manage to tranq and stun EVERY member of the NSF in Castle Clinton, it will make Anna say totally different things. It's kind of tricky though because if you go too close to her she will activate and run in, killing dudes. It also affects Paul's reaction to you when you get to Hell's Kitchen.
By the way, save all the Zyme you can get your hands on. It's useful later on when some guy will pay you a decent amount of money for it.
Also the stealth pistol looks like a staple gun. Anyone who doesn't keep the starting pistol the whole time is scrub-tier.
Hi5!
I need to play the Nameless Mod I think. The only Deus Ex mods I've played are the one where you play as Paul, the one where you have to infiltrate a hotel and save some hostages and some total reimagining where you play some British woman joining a secret organisation and it had loads of new and awesome weapons (And a Cyanide Grenade)

The 'Ton/JoJo situation does have a few different endings, but I remember it going like this:
1) Regardless of whether you give Gilbert a weapon, if he and Sandra both die, JoJo takes over the hotel and tells you to tell UNATCO to back off.
2) If either Gilbert or Sandra die, but not both for whatever reason, the survivor is left speechless. If it's Sandra, she may run off, though I don't know if this changes how she reacts when you return to NYC.
3) If both survive and you didn't give Gilbert a weapon, Sandra runs off. She still shows up later when you return.
4) If both survive and you gave Gilbert a weapon, Sandra agrees to stick around the hotel.
Shifter gives JoJo a sweet unique stealth pistol, so I usually save my mods for that and give my crappy one to Gilbert. I don't remember what happens if you take JoJo down before he confronts Sandra, or if you knock him out instead of killing him; probably just 3 or 4 with maybe a couple different lines of dialogue.
Far as mods go, I never did get to Nameless Mod. I really should do that, I keep hearing it's awesome. Zodiac was interesting and well made, albeit basically a fanfic crossover between Ghost in the Shell, Independence Day, and probably one or two other things as well. Redsun2020 had crazy huge levels and great atmosphere, but a ridiculous script and a literally half-done story. And then there's Burden of 80 Proof, which if nothing else is quirky, tightly scripted, and surprisingly fun. It also has nothing to do with the DX world.

Ah yea I remember now. She runs off if you don't give him the weapon and says something about how he's useless and JC had to save his ass.
Honestly, I never tried letting both of them die because JoJo was a bitch and needed a few bullets to the face.
I always wondered why all the female bums in Deus Ex had such slim, attractive figures. Even if they're dying of plague, they have perky breasts, a full head of hair, and a waistline that looks like they removed a rib or two to achieve 20 inches.

Fat and/or unattractive homeless people, especially in America? C'mon, that's crazy talk. Next you'll be saying that FEMA can't be trusted with safeguarding the country.
Or that the UN is part of some crazy plot to control the world.
Or that a cabal of businessmen and bankers have been doing just that for centuries.
Or that space aliens are being kept at Area 51, and possibly in Hong Kong. (Later in a Seattle nightclub.)

Here's a download link for that mod. There's a bunch more hilarious stuff that's not shown off in the video.

But I'm going to exercise my meager willpower and not buy it until after I've beaten Mass Effect a few more times.
Also, STALKER is sitting unplayed since I got VtM:Bloodlines. Perhaps I should finish that as well.

That is more fun than it should be.
I spit soda when the machine wouldn't move.
