Grey Fox V2 posted:So I'm replaying this for the first time in probably 9 years and I've just arrived at the 'Ton for the first time. I just cleared out the terrorists (losing only the dude hostage) then found Paul's Blackjack on his coffee table for only using non-lethal up to this point but seeing as how I lost the one hostage I reloaded. Problem is now no matter what I do I can't seem to spawn the Blackjack back. Is this a common glitch? Are you using Biomod? I've found that the Auto Save messes up some Shifter things, like the Office inventory.

Xander77 posted:There's always 3 approaches at least - combat, stealth, vents. Thatdoesn't count social interactions, augmented jumps, crate stacking (TNM has next to no crates! A travesty, I tell you!) Vents are stealth. And you can't socially interact with MJ12 troopers. Unless you mean "Stealth" as "using the cloaking Aug", but that isn't an approach, that's just using an Aug.

I'm going to replay this, as i shamelessly have never gotten past the first half hour or so of the game for some reason. Although i have fond memories of pepper spraying the lady in the bathroom and somehow turning everyone on her, made all the more hilarious as she was invincible. Loaded it up on Steam, got the DX10 renderer and New Vision mod. Let's do this! Kernel Monsoon fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Jun 19, 2010 |

I'm amazed that after reinstalling this, it seems to work perfectly with Win7. I thought I'd have loads of trouble with it given it's age, but it seems fine. Am I likely to run into any problems further down the line? I'd rather spend the time getting it sorted now than having to restart.

What do you guys think, I'm gonna do another playthrough of Deus Ex and I realized I never tried "Realistic" mode. How exactly does that affect the gameplay, and what are y'alls thoughts/gut-feelings on it?

Fnoigy posted:I was afraid of this, too, but so far it's worked just fine. Awesome, going to finish off Liberty Island tonight. There was a write-up in the DX3 thread from PC Gamer where the writer went through Liberty Island, sort of as an introduction to people who'd never played it. One thing he pointed out was that compared to modern games, the field of vision of your enemies is very narrow and short. Even getting about 5 minutes into Liberty Island there was a few times when I was convinced I'd been spotted, only for them to walk straight past! EDIT: I've never played on realistic, is it considerably harder than Normal? I'd heard people say it's easier than Hard because of the fact you do more damage to enemies, is this so?

I had never played DX1 on realistic mode because as far as I recall most games with that kind of difficulty make the game not 'realistic' but basically insanely hard. However, playing it on Realistic for the first time feels... correct. It's honestly the best way to play it from all the times I've gone through it. It's made me consider how I go after a group of guys more than usual. (Which unfortunately has resulted in multiple groups of NSF getting hit by GEP rockets; I am uncreative )

The way tranq darts work is that they do a small amount of initial damage and then do some damage over time. Hitting them in the head is going to knock them out slightly quicker, but they still might have time to shout, so the crossbow's best for isolated targets. If you need to take out grouped enemies your best bet is to gas them (either with a grenade or with a pepper spray gun) and then quickly knock them out with a stun prod or a baton. Alternately, cause a distraction (shooting the wall with the crossbow is fantastic for this) and them quietly stun prod them all.

On No Kills Realistic I mostly used the Tranq darts when I had the safety of an air shaft. Not so good on MIB/Commandos but as long as you peg a normal human with it they will go down. Also good as a lead-off shot for a gas grenade trap. Also for you other first-time non lethal gangstas, Try and hang onto at least one lethal power weapon. I'm not too proud to admit that I was forced to do the undersea base with the stock assault rifle and no skills. Dumpin mags into Greasels like it ain't no thang

And if you wanna be truly ballin' then you can't kill any other animals either. Step on a rat or catch a pigeon in a LAW blast? You failed, bro.
