GreatGreen posted:Welp, Biomod sounds awesome. Looks like I'll be using it when I play the game tonight. I'd also like to know this, these changes sound amazing, but I'm playing through for the first time (On realistic mode, 10 hours in, in Paris at the moment), if you can't, then it's no big deal; I'll just use biomod in my NEXT playthrough

So I just discovered that there's some crates underneath the dock where you start; hop off into the water and two crates containing a lockpick and a multitool are in a smashed cage attached to the underneath of the wooden planking. Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know those were there.

I just found a shotgun on Liberty Island which I had literally never once before in a good 10+ playthroughs ever run into. Wow.almostfearless posted:This is also the first code you have to enter in System Shock 2 (And maybe that was an homage to the first System Shock? I've only played the second) 0451 is the code to the first keypad in every Looking Glass/Irrational game that has keypads, because it was the keypad to their first office building. So yeah, pretty sure it's an homage.

Dyscrasia posted:Same here, although thats really not much to brag about. I think Hard is probably more difficult since Realistic actually decreases enemy health. These extra settings are only used that I can recall by TNM and Hotel Carone. Carone uses it to change AI alertness, what they respond to, and how many security cameras there are, and TNM has a bunch of different difficulty knobs you can alter individually.

I'd like to point out that MilkyTracker can read the UMX files used by Unreal Engine games. Even if you don't know anything about trackers, it can be an interesting new way to listen to Deus Ex's soundtrack. Click here for the full 1516x1038 image.

I've got a quest (IW spoiler): Kill JC Denton. No, I mean before you're supposed to. In the sanctuary, it appears that the radius of grenades goes inside his little chamber. Also, if you contact det spider grenades they'll spawn inside. Since they follow you, they'll push him around, but he'll stay inside the chamber. I don't have any explosive grenades, but I know the radius of smokes, flashbangs and EMPs affects whatevers inside...

It turns out the "act like they're unconscious" thing means if you knock them out, then shoot them, they still die. Apparently in vanilla DX you could attack an unconscious body all you like and they'd not die.

I actually noticed that for the first time last night. I could have sworn you could kill unconscious people. What the gently caress Deus Ex? Killing kids is fine but comatose people are off limits? Now I need to go figure out if killing unconscious kids is possible. When I played the demo for the first time way back when I figured out that bodies behaved like crates, where the more you damaged them the darker they got. I ran around exploding people into chunks with the crowbar for a long time.

That's one thing I love about the BioMod: If you attack an unconscious body it lets out the "YEEARGH!" noise and turns into a corpse.

I just bought the original Deus Ex and the sequeal off of Steam due to the mid-week deal but I can't get it to run. Out of safemode it runs like it's skipping a bunch a frames and is real jittery and jumps forward if I move at all. When I run it it safe mode it goes really slow and most of the audio cuts out. When I try to set the affinity to just 1 processor through ctrl + alt + delete it just crashes the game. Anyone have any idea how I can get the game to run, or else I just wasted 5 bucks? I have an Athlon 64 X2 running Windows Vista with a Geforce 8600 GT.

nessin posted:Granted the original game wasn't released THAT long ago, but the idea of easying a new player into a game is recent concept. Most games up until the late 90s early 00s didn't offer a lot in the way of "Intro" levels or in-game tutorials (instead you got a manual with a tutorial instead of a pamphlet). I suppose in one respect you're right, that a developer today wouldn't do it, but it wasn't ballsy or anything special at the time. Don't forget, Deus Ex had a tutorial level in addition to Liberty Island. Personally, I thought Liberty Island was awesome, provided you were able to think flexibly. Charge in with guns blazing, you die. Stick to the shadows and assess the situation, and you'll find you have a shitload of options.

Like many other goons, I bought this game a couple weeks ago for $10. But I don't regret it... I still have my boxed CD copy (infact, it's installed on the same PC) but I get some weird memory error when transitioning between levels that causes a CTD. IW still isn't worth the $2.50, however.

It has a couple options in it to fix up the speed issues, as well as beefing up the graphical quality. edit: Try alt-tabbing before you open the Task Manager. It might help.

...of SCIENCE! posted:That's one thing I love about the BioMod: If you attack an unconscious body it lets out the "YEEARGH!" noise and turns into a corpse. This could be bad though. If, say, you pop them in the head with a bullet from the stealth pistol, do they let out a 3-second long "yyeerraughughuhguhg"? Or is it a quick and half muted "hngg"? Because I've played a lot of games where even after the body has long since been gibbed and vaporized, there will still be a goofy sounding wilhelm type scream playing where their body used to be and it kind of takes you out of it for a moment.
