Just put this in the OP: Paul Denton survives if you leave through the front door or get killed. He dies if you leave through the window  AT ANY POINT.

Here's a little something nice I stumbled upon: The Craftsman, a new (well, from last month anyway) song by Alex Brandon, the guy who scored both DX games, done in the same sort of style as his DX1, Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament '99 tracks.

This game is still my favourite single player experience, ever since entering Hong Kong and getting completely immersed until the morning hours so many years ago. I never heard of the Shifter mod before, guess I'm off to reinstall the game once more

Since I got the GOTY Edition on STEAM, where do I find the soundtrack for when Paige and Simmons are expositioning right at the start of the game?

Captain Novolin posted:You went out the window, I bet. If you go through the front door he survives, but the window has him die. I left through the front door though, and I'm using shifter anyway so even the window shouldn't matter. I guess the game hosed me I wasn't sure how killing Anna on the 747 would play out so that's where I made my last surviving non-quicksave, I guess I'll roll back and try it again tonight.

CaptainWinky posted:Nope, just at any point after the soldiers storm the room on your return visit. Shifter is supposed to fix this so that when Paul gets out you can use the window safely. I've been hearing reports that it's unreliable, though. Just stay away from the window, it's the pussy option anyway. Fnoigy posted:Actually, it was from Sunglasses at Night. Oh. Oh.

Is there anything else that could trigger Paul's death if you don't use the window? I just played that part yesterday planning to save him. Went out the door into the hall with him, guns blazing and saw him make it to stairs. I didn't know he was invulnerable so I focused on trying to clear a path for him. At some point, though, he disappeared. I checked the bodies, he wasn't there, so I figured he'd just gone out the front door and escaped so I moved on. And now I've just seen him dead on a table in the MJ12 lab.

You could play the game as a True American Hero and knock out all the bad guys with American flags. Just don't ever let them touch the ground. Don't know what ending you would choose though.

On my playthrough yesterday where Paul ended up dead, I did leave the apartment through the window after killing all the troops and Paul saying he was going to go get smuggler to smuggle him out. This was using shifter. After the rollback I did everything the same way but left through the front door and everything was fine. It's kind of hilarious how he can't move enough to walk to the subway when you find him in the apartment, but then he solos a few MIBs and a dozen soldiers, gets captured, and then when you find him in the lab to rescue him again he's like "nah, go ahead without me, I'll break out later by myself and get to Hong Kong after I pick up my dry cleaning"

Deus Ex is the only game you can kill a cat or dog by accidentally stepping on them. I did that twice in Hong Kong. Whoops. And heh:

So, uh, where is the blackjack? I'm doing a non-lethal run, and I just finished the generator mission and went on to the airfield. I know where it's supposed to be, but I didn't see it there on the first pass-through - is it there when I return?

I don't believe that it makes a return if you miss it, though.
