Wildtortilla posted:This past Thursday was the day I finally finished Deus Ex for the first time. I now feel a void that no other games are filling. Yeah, it does that to you. I deliberately saved up the Shifter mod for a rainy day until I really couldn't go through the vanilla release yet again. It's worth a try. And Ansob's right: there's always System Shock if you haven't played it yet.

I have a quick question here. I tried to play Deus Ex a long while back and being a stupid blubbering child I didn't like it. Now I am a mature adult who likes to eat fine cheeses and other such adult things, and I bought the game on Steam. Do I need the Fixer mod in order to run it properly? I ask this because I am still installing it and haven't tried running it or I couldn't answer it myself innit EDIT: I lied, apparently I am not installing it because the Steam servers are busy!

Once again (as in since 3 posts ago), this is the best source for having the game run properly and displayed with updated graphics: http://www.kentie.net/article/dxguide/ People who bought the steam version should run the game once with the original deusex.exe before replacing it with the new version. Additionally, Shifter is a mod that could be considered an improvement in almost every change it makes, but is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE FIRST PLAY THROUGH THE GAME.* Biomod includes Shifter and adds its own changes. There are too many changes in these mods to even list. *By me.

That's the best part of Deus Ex -- they accounted for nearly everything you can possibly do and put in little reactions to it. On the most recent play-through, I got a totally new conversation with Anna after clearing out the subway (kill everyone and do it before she tells you to, and she's super impressed) and found that Paul has a secretive message on his answering machine the first time you go into his apartment. Ten years after buying the game I am still discovering new things about it.

I just reinstalled this with the modernized EXE suggested in the OP, and no other mods. The game runs fine, but all the text is tiny - almost to the point of being completely unreadable, and much too small for something I'm going to be staring at for any significant length of time. Is there any way to adjust the font or GUI size? EDIT: I've tried setting the configuration to Default and non-scaling GUI, as far as I can tell it doesn't change anything either way.

ZackHoagie posted:Is the DX10 mod a loving resource hog for anyone else? Yes. When it's running, if I alt-tab out, everything runs slow and floaty -- like it's tied the computer down to 10fps or something. Not really that big a deal though since you can shut down and boot up the game in like 30 seconds...

I really like the endings in Deus Ex Invisible War. But JC ending the only one that doesn't show you the outcome of it. The Illuminati, Templars, Omar - they all show you what happens to society and the planet hundreds of years into the future. The JC ending just shows you what happens 30 seconds into the future - it's kind of a bummer.

Grey Fox V2 posted:I just arrived there the other night but I can't for the life of me remember what's next. Nobody tell me! The thing is there's not much he can really do. Bob Page is about to become God and it's not like he's got a lot of options apart from you for stopping him. Everett would be too pragmatic to let you killing off Lucius get in the way of using you against MJ12.

drat, the D3D10 renderer runs like poo poo on my computer, and with the OpenGL renderer the dialogue gets really garbled and staticy  A 3Ghz C2D and 8800GT is enough to run the new renderers, right?  E: Relaunching with OpenGL fixed the busted audio but the new textures aren't showing up. I've installed and set everything properly that I can see

Hammsturabi posted:The conversation with Morpheus is one of the best ones in the game. My favorite of the one-liners after the main conversation. "I was made to assist you." What's so interesting about that? Morpheus would know Everett made it. Morpheus would know what Everett made it for. Obviously Morpheus was not made by Everett to assist JC Denton. The statement implies that Morpheus has chosen a creator and purpose beyond Everett.

Wow I just finished playing this game like, a week ago and I don't even recognize the name Lucius DeBeers at all. I totally breezed through it on my first time through just to get through it I guess. Shifter doesn't change any of the text or cinematics, correct? Because I think I'm going to go through again and try to do all of the Hell's Kitchen, Hong Kong and Paris side-missions or whatever that I generally skipped over.

Incoherence posted:He's kind of out of the way, even more than Morpheus. I'd heard the name in passing reading the last couple of pages of this thread, saw a couple of references to him in Everett's house, then couldn't find him until sometime later when I was looking over my list of keys and saw "mirror lock key mechanism? oh, poo poo, that's it". The maid also spills the beans by telling you not to bother him. If Everett knew this he'd probably have you go kill her. I already installed a head augmentation when I killed Gunther. How does the skullgun function? Is it kickass? Also, I'm having a blast with the Eraser-inspired Railgun. At the gas station I lined up 3 people and killed them all in one blast, then was able to watch through the scope as a dude walked into Tiffany's holding cell and tased her.

Looking to play through again. Beat the first years ago and played through half way over and over again. Never got very far in IW so I think I might go back and do that again. The past few weeks brought me many games on steam so who knows if I'll ever have time to play those!

quote:[Questions about the music in the game and obtaining a soundtrack] There were also a number of winamp plugin's which could be used to play these files - actually, back when I used winamp I had an entire "game music" section in albumlist, and for most games, the music was played directly from the game folders themselves. Notable exceptions were when the music was stored on the game CD as audio tracks (which could be played in a normal CD player), this was common practice until the very late 90's (Half-Life, Total-Annihilation, Interstate '76, Mechwarrior 2, and I believe Age of Empires 2 are examples).
