They'll also go ballistic on pigeons, which you can watch on Tonnochi Road in Hong Kong. The pigeons are unfortunately rather stupid; they will repeatedly land next to the cat even as it causes their brethren to spew blood and die.

I saved the Ton hotel manager and his daughter from Jojo by prodding with the prod before the confrontation dialogue popped up, then I carried Jojos unconsious body to the empty lift shaft threw him on the floor popped two in his head with the stealth pistol hopped on out and grabbed the slippery floor sign from the lobby and threw it at the threshhold of the elevator shaft. What a shame. SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 4, 2010 |

If you tell him to stay behind, he's there long enough to dig up Gunther's killphrase. Oh man, I always forget that one. Thanks, I'm going to try that out this minute.

I thought Paul only died if you bailed on him and went out the window when he asked. I helped him fight the MIB and UNATCO Troopers right out of the Ton. Should I have gone out the front too? I went out the window after all the fighting because it seemed much easier.

Yeah the "Paul dies" trigger is on the window in Vanilla. Provided you don't do that then Paul survives no matter what. Shifter and Biomod change it so if you help him fight out but leave through the window he still survives.

Going out the front isn't too bad, although there are a shitload of troopers inside the 'Ton. Once you're out though you can sneak around to the right to recuperate before you either destroy or sneak past the bots. Are we really still spoilering this stuff?

Tong won't even realize you have it, and there's nothing you can do with the vial except give it to Dowd. Incidentally, you can't give anyone the Grey Death vial, either. I was really hoping there would be an rear end in a top hat option for giving Dowd the Grey Death and claiming it was the cure.

Okay, after some .ini file tweaking, I finally got this game to run on my gigantic monitor and sweet new rig. I guess the only caveat I have is the game running at 260fps  I can walk up to, I guess his name is Paul something, after getting a very cut off "message" from Alex while I'm standing on the docks, some green guy walks around me with the gait of a speed addict, before another black-suited Matrix rip off sprints up, fires off a couple of words before my similarly-suited NPC (I use the term appropriately since I CANNOT play the game) responds with a single word, and so the dialogue continues. I've looked up many gameplay videos and I assume my computer is just too far advanced for this obsolete game. I've also looked into some of the conspiracy theories and so called "plot-lines" exhibited by this game and found nothing but hackneyed dialogue and game mechanics far eclipsed by its sequel, which actually runs properly on my Steam-based download. I can't imagine why anyone would spend any amount of time playing this game or making the ridiculous videos some people have posted in this thread. Just my two cents.

Reloaded after posting back to the Ton and helped him with his hypocritical genocide and now he lives yay. Sadly the NSF guy I escorted through the MJ12 base sort of got the shaft because of that stupid one way door that leads into the UNATCO HQ. Hurray.

Bonus if he rages all the way out into the hallway and downstairs to the lobby, killing everything in sight.

Not enough things in life do that.

Actually the easiest way is to let yourself be killed because then you appear in the MJ12 prison without having wasted a whole bunch of ammo fighting a pointless battle followed by an unwinnable one.

Even better: place the LAMs in strategic places within the hotel lobby before going back to see Paul, so you can hear the explosion and see the lights in the room flash during your conversation, and know the exact moment when the enemies are scripted to spawn outside. The MiB's voice will be disembodied; if you do it right, they'll all be dead and/or gibs when you exit the apartment.

If you make it all the way to Battery Park and jump over the barricades, you can get Jock/Black Helicopter to say he's not leaving without Paul.

Sort of a dick-move on Black Helicopter's part to not get you out of there if you somehow make it to him. Speaking of Black Helicopter, for all the cut-scenes post Dowd where he talks about how 'something is loose in this helicopter, or something, listen, I don't know', I'm wondering is there any other way to save him after missing your chance to kill the mechanic. Seems like you could forget to kill the mechanic in a rush and be reminded of it every level as Black Helicopter and JC have yet another birds-and-the-bees talk about military vehicles and their proper operation at each level's conclusion.

Nope. The mechanic thing is literally the only way. If you don't catch the mechanic, then it WILL explode and you will be a bad person forever.

Incidentally after playing Deus Ex countless times I don't think I ever tried executing Anna on the 747 before either, when she wants you to execute Lebedev. At this point we just learned that Paul has gone rogue and JC hasn't officially turned yet and alex freaks out on the datalink all "JESUS gently caress THEYLL HAVE YOU EXECUTED, I, I, I'll just delete this video..." and then manderly curses at you during the debriefing but then you fall back into the usual "you were right to refuse to kill him in cold blood!" dialog for most of the other characters which doesn't really fit. poverty goat fucked around with this message at 05:49 on May 5, 2010 |

The only thing it comes down to is how you leave the 'Ton. If you go out the window, Paul dies. If you go out the front door, he lives.

Is Paul hosed either way or did the game just gently caress me? You went out the window, I bet. If you go through the front door he survives, but the window has him die. I also set a trap to kill Anna (I used the barrels of boom behind the door method) and I have to say, it was nice not having to fight her. On my next run I'll actually use her killphrase.

It would be great if most of the NPC's at UNATCO had a killphrase (somehow) and one of the ultra-secret-endings involved you strolling out of the MJ12 base, Miguel's arm interlocked in yours, as you skip through the halls rattling off random cryptonyms as everyone falls, one by one, to the floor in the wake of your joy.
