"Please give me a weapon like the infinite power of nanoaugmentation. Agent Orange knows I like nanoaugmentation technology." "That will be adequate. Please proceed up the stairs to the junk pile.

Male Man posted:If the second point had ended up really showing in the game, it'd be a big siren to attentive players that she does not know Paul. Then they'd immediately know that she was full of poo poo and start pawing through her documents. Of interest, on my VERY FIRST playthrough of the game, after speaking with Chow I was intrigued by her comment about how secrets in Hong Kong are rarely kept in the open. I immediately set to work pawing through her house (and tranqing her maid) to see what secrets she might be hiding. Of interest was a hanging pagoda lamp that was an interactable object. v vSeconds later I sent her a GEP-Gun sendoff and had the dragon sword in hand. I've wondered how much of the game I skipped in doing that.

Between that and the spotty sequence-breaking you could inadvertently do (leading to having the "Find the Dragon's Tooth Sword") quest in your journal uncompleted for the rest of the game) that was a really spotty segment that could have been done a lot better.

I can't remember the in game explanation of why Maggie Chow would send you off to find evidence that she was lying, then just abandons the sword in her apartment. Is she just a bit crazy? Why not tell you that the dragon tooth sword is hidden in one of the triad bases causing mayhem?

Oh man, that's pretty lame. And here I felt like king clever of the puzzle dimension for figuring that one out. I have to say, though, that level was still handled infinitely better than the Sub base. drizzle posted:This guys username is cheezymadman My name's Indian but I'm still white as Christmas.

Well, keep in mind that everyone on the anti-JC side expects him to be shut down at any minute by the killswitch. Her objective is probably just to delay him until the killswitch goes off; even if he isn't taken out by the police for breaking into their headquarters, her hope would be that he might be delayed long enough that it won't matter. She also might not have known about the evidence against her that you end up finding there.

One really small but dumb thing: in the mall with the Lucky Money, the three cops standing outside are all named Eddie Tam. Guess VersaLife pays their rent by leasing out their cloning vats to the Chinese.

Goons complaining about what they classify as "random humour" using the words monkey, cheese etc. is becoming as grating and pathetic as everyone they didn't like being hipsters a few months back. Deus Ex is great and chalk me up as another person who's reinstalled the game because of this thread. Am up to Hong Kong already, it's the best video game level.

Did you kill Private Lloyd? and ^^^ abit, I'd completely forgotten that your kill switch was still on at that point captainrat! I suppose that does explain it a bit.

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you use the GEP gun they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.

I..  Anyway, I uninstalled Shifter so I could do a crazy-rear end low-tech runthrough with the Speed augmentation, so I can crawl around really fast like a crazy fucker, completely and kill all of the Terrorists. With Shifter all I kept doing was a boring non-lethal runthrough to try to get that one unique baton that spawns in Paul's apartment, but I kept loving it up in one way or another.

Last time I played through it was just kinda there and I thought "This is handy" and then I found the Dragon's Tooth and figured it was handier. I went a full speed/damage absorber with Master melee. Kinda like the Flash except for the nanotech death sword that I would swing around wildly.

I'm not 100% but I think the unique blackjack turns up on a later return to NY in the hotel reception area. Don't know if it depends on you saving the Renton's or not. Pretty sure it was there on my last run through and I was doing a deliberate gun the gently caress out of everybody effort.

So I had a scope and a shitload of accuracy mods on my stealth pistol, and I used that against everything soft for the first part of the game. It was headshot city, and no one ever knew where I was until I ventilated their skull. After I got captured by MJ12, I figured I could just get it back and go crazy in there. When I picked up my gear in the armory, I didn't have the scope anymore. So now I need to find a new one. Any ideas? This is my third or fourth playthrough, but I never used scopes before except for the sniper, so I have no idea where to find one in Hong Kong or beyond.

And that Denton who bases his power entirely on words, finding himself completely without explosive armaments, comes to ruin.

If I recall correctly, you can't find another one until Paris. One of the WIBs, either in the cathedral or the one in the catacombs, has one sitting around somewhere. If you don't mind cheating to restore the status quo, you can always just summon one. Really the scope should still be on there, right?

When you rescue your stuff from the armoury, it's your things on the shelves on the bottom floor isn't it? With all the stuff upstairs being new goodies. I always thought it went with the most 'modded' value when you picked up stuff, but as that's the only point in the game where I think you can possibly pick up already modded weapons, I'm not sure how it works. I guess the stealth pistol could have been stuck up on the top shelf in the the armoury and it got missed? I'm sure I found one in hong kong. I have memories of chucking them away. Is there one in the police station or in the flooded collapsed tunnel? Or just cheat one in. You should have it anyway.

So I have a question. Has anyone else ever visited the shootout in Hell's Kitchen only to be greeted with silence? I can't find the screenshot I took, but on one playthrough when I got there, there were no NPCs. No bodies or blood smears, or even noise. Just nothing. Later I was bitched at for not helping, but nevermind right.

If you picked up a plain stealth pistol and then pick up a modded one, you keep the plain one and the modded one is destroyed and turned into a couple rounds of ammo. Best practice is to dump everything before picking up your old gear so that there's no mistake.

Someone waaay earlier in the thread mentioned a (secret?) southern section to the Ocean Lab level. What part of the level was this in? The first part above water, the underwater section before you use the mini-sub, or the final part after that? I may have unknowingly visited it but I can't remember any section that was very well hidden and may have thus missed it just as easily. Also in Maggie Chow's apartment tower, there is a small door panel that you see as you take the elevator up to her apartment. When riding in the elevator you literally see it flash but can't stop to examine it, so how do you get to this thing? I can't seem to access it through the floor under construction(below her apartment), nor can I reach it through the hidden complex where you get the Dragon's Tooth. The door is the one at the 8 minute mark in this video.

Dr Snofeld posted:It spawns earlier if Paul's happy with how you conduct yourself up til Hell's Kitchen. You can still get it if you kill dudes. Not sure how though. The script for checking if Paul is happy fires by checking all the bodies on Liberty Island for dead vs unconscious status. If there are no "dead" corpses, it doesn't count against you. (Blow them up with one of the many explosive crates.) You may get a couple bodies leeway, its been a while since I bothered testing it out. Killing everything and stacking its corpse in a pile on Liberty takes forever since the level is so expansive.

There isn't a whole lot in that room, but you get some extra dialogue and another entrance into her secret base.
