My favorite line of dialog is still a tossup between "I SPEEL MY DRINK!" and JC's little "Sure..." when you're talking to the Aussie girls in front of the Lucky Money.

That club is so awesome.

Chan, Chen, they're probably the same word with different transliterations.

(My mistake)

VVV christ, what's wrong with me? I kept thinking "that doesn't sound quite right" but couldn't figure out why. Doesn't help that a bunch of other people got it wrong as well so googling it gives positive results.

Well, in my defense, I usually killed her within 2 minutes of meeting her because her maid was a nosy bitch and started shooting me when I went looking for the bathroom.

My first playthrough, I payed the cover for these girls. Then, when they got killed in the MJ12 raid, I looted her corpse and found out she was loaded. Last time I fall for that trick, bitch.

I still give people the 'Suuuurrre...' when they thank me for something though. They have no idea I'm quoting JC.

It's right after you use the mini-sub. You swim out through the sub bay doors to the right. You should see a hole in the side of the building. I think the key for the storage room near the Karkian cages is in there.

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.

That would be the elevator door for the floor under construction.

Just keep talking to him over and over, and when you get the option, threaten him. Something like "if I was here for the plans, you're already dead, so start talking."

The utterly horrible in-game economy is probably one of the few complaints I have towards Deus Ex; your first time around you end up dropping serious money on worthless items (Smuggler's one-use night vision goggles :argh:) and then every other time you have more money than things to really spend it on. Case in point, spending 2000 credits for a worthless map of an area from a guy standing right near the end of that particular map.

The only thing I buy on playthroughs now are weapon mods. When you come back from Hong Kong and visit Smuggler, he offers you an assault shotgun for something ridiculous like 7500. If I never bought anything up to that point then I might be able to afford the item that is easily looted off enemy bodies.

Not worth it at all. It's a floorplan that you'll never look at because the area you can access is as intuitive as it gets.

I think that money was one of the few things that didn't get fleshed out completely; not counting poo poo like soda machines, there's maybe a dozen chances to buy stuff, and at least half are worthless. IIRC, the last one is in Paris, which is only 2/3 of the way through. Yet another thing TNM does right.

So I still can't figure out how to sneak into the Cathedral. I remember doing it with cheats every other time I've played through, but I want to do this run legit. Any ideas? I can't kill that big bot without setting off alarms, and I don't have enough lockpicks to open the door under the walkway with the patrolling MJ12 trooper.

When you first come up from the sewer in that level there's an apartment to your upper left. In there is a useful key and the ability to snip some people from the street. Other stuff like money is there too. That key should get you in that door... usually, guys run out of it and open it for me though. Anyway, the key should save you some lockpicks.

You can probably get the guards to open the door for you if you catch their attention and stand next to the door, just have to be ready to take them out as they walk through. I think there's a terminal at the end of the bridge that can disable the bot, too.

I had never heard of this, thought "that's cool" and then I clicked one of the related videos and my mind was blown. You can sneak past the hostages in Battery Park and skip straight to Hell's Kitchen and Paul acknowledges what you've done:

I ended up doing this by accident during my first playthrough and didn't know it was "hidden." I seem to recall rescuing the hostages but not waiting long enough for them to get onto the subway car, which the game decided to interpret as me failing to rescue the hostages. I ended up reloading after Paul yelled at me, but I didn't know it was "secret" dialogue.
