You can actually NOT install a mod the moment you find it and thus have an open slot for the second invisible when you find another can. I know I've done it before. :confused:

You can get the aug canister that contains both of them twice in the game if you're willing to save a torso slot until Area 51.

Also use your shift and period keys once in a while.

No, the only reason it works for those is you have two torso slots. The rest are single slots.

The "tinktinktink" of spiderbots is the worst thing ever and never fails to make me utterly paranoid. Everything else is unimportant until those little bastards are dead.

Yes Dragon Sword is really brutal especially with the melee damage aug.

With enough upgrades you can even break open the weaker doors.

When I got that sword, stealth became less about sneaking around people, and more about sneaking THROUGH them.

Next time you're in the Lucky Money getting ready to tell the Red Arrow Triad leader about Maggie's deception, just run across the dance floor and smash through one of the one-way mirrors with the Dragon's Tooth. I laughed until it hurt to see Denton explode noisily through the wall and then calmly say, "I'm here to speak with Max Chen :cool:" to a room full of stupefied thugs.

Also, nobody seems to give much of a poo poo if you kill the entirety of the Market except for the Triad members. One guy yells at you for killing the annoying kid and that's about it. The cops in other areas don't even shoot at you or anything.

e: yes, the Tooth is ridiculously powerful. With a good enough skill and the melee aug, you can kill virtually any enemy in one hit and you can smash through most destructible barriers (like locked doors or containers) as well. There is no better melee weapon. Hell, in terms of sheer damage, I'd say there's no better weapon outside of crazy poo poo like LAW rockets or a tricked-out GEP gun.

I really loved the club set-up and would love a call-back to it in the new Deus Ex, tons of people drunk or rolling while thugs chose to ignore them while doing business through one way mirror.

Shifter mod seems to add in a few prototypes to the dragon's tooth, one of which appears to be significantly better (and it flashes red every so often, which is great when you run out of power and need a light).

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I almost feel like you have to go melee as one of your skills, since is never enough ammo if you want to stick to a certain branch--of course, it's not necessary to do so, and the game makes it easy to be good enough at everything to get by, but sometimes I'd rather not have to throw out a heavily modified rocket launcher because there hasnt been any ammo spawn in four levels.

Use the Prod. Prod.

I have wished for this many a time. Hopefully DX3 does stuff like stealth kills and corner kills, or even better non-lethal takedowns.

I think that one has random damage. One moment it's the same as the pre-patch 125dmg behemoth Dragon's Tooth, and the next it will do 5dmg.

So, is there a good wiki or list of secret areas/easter eggs anywhere online? I've turned up nothing so far. I know it's completely counter-intuitive to the game, but there are a couple things I'd like to know more about.

Also, seconding the loving Light Saber.

Get level 3 melee and the re circulator aug and you can brake most doors and drawers with ease. Particularly useful when doing a non-lethal playthrough or just wanting to save on lock picks.

I don't know about the GEP cats, but there is no "fatness slider mod". It's a natural setting on every entity in Deus Ex. They can be edited in UnrealEd, or by changing it on the fly using console commands (hit T, erase the say part, and type the command). To make stuff fat, or skinny the command is
set [thing] fatness [number]
And to make them physically bigger or smaller
set [thing] drawscale [number]

Drawscale defaults to 1 for all objects, and fatness 128. Useful names to use for thing are "actor", which effects every single thing in the world, "pawn", which is every character (PC and NPC), "scriptedpawn", which is just the NPCs, and "human" for just the PC. Human won't effect your first person view (hand or gun), just your third person view in cutscenes etc. Instead you need the individual weapon name for the held gun (such as "weaponpistol" "weaponrifle" "weaponassaultgun" "weaponlam" etc), and for the hand "JCdentonmale".

Here's me fighting some fat terrorists with my fat gun.

Answer: No. Once you transmit the Gray Death data to Tong, blast doors close over the tunnel from L2 to L1. Daedalus then sends a message basically saying "Yeah, if you did what I told you to do, you'd be out of here by now."
