ArcMage posted:There never were kill xp bonuses, though. Shifter added both the takedown and stealth bonuses. What he means is that you should either get points for both (don't disable anything) or not get points at all (don't use shifter). That way, one approach isn't necessarily better.

Daktar posted:I think Tonnochi Road may be one of the finest levels for vertical exploration ever designed. There's so many options, particularly if you have the speed aug at a decent lavel. Just now I went up to the floor under renovation in Queens Tower and shot out the door that provides access to Maggie Chow's elevator shaft. I climbed down and used the elevator override keypad to ride to the roof. I smashed my way through the skylight and landed in front of Maggie in a hail of glass. I put a single pistol bullet right between her eyes, then did the same to her maid. Most stylish assassination ever. You can... get on the roof?

Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a GEP gun, the most powerful lock pick in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: How many clip mods did he install?

Astroturf Man posted:This is one of the awesome design things about DX1; there's not actually many choices here: There's more than that. As far as I know, it's: *Kill Anna before she kills Lebedev and let Lebedev live *Kill Anna before she kills Lebedev and kill Lebedev anyways *Kill Lebedev before Anna does and let Anna live *Kill Lebedev before Anna does and kill Anna anyways *Let Anna kill Lebedev and kill Anna in retaliation *Let Anna kill Lebedev and let Anna live *Make Anna run away in pain and let them both live <- Not actually sure if this is possible, but I'd imagine it should be.

The sign of a true Deus Ex developer is that they think "What if the player tries to get up here, even though there's no real reason to? Whelp, better have whatever happens make sense, just in case." as opposed to "What if the player tries to get up here, even though there's no real reason to? Whelp, better clip it off, just in case."

I can't believe this guy thought that Alpha Protocol is what Deus Ex should have been. quote:Contrast this to Alpha Protocol, which focuses first and foremost on gameplay, confined to smaller more manageable boxes representing warehouses or enemy bases. For all its faults, Alpha Protocol knows how far it can and can’t reach. This guy has to be functionally retarded.

Have no fear though, you'll get your WP grenades. Close enough for government work.   quote:Like most of the boss type enemies in the game, Simons can't be knocked out. If you absolutely must leave him alive, you'll have to evade him. Thanks, now I have to replay this game so I can carry Simons' unconscious body to Area 51 and drop him in front of Bob Page.

Lork posted:It turns out it's not so simple, unfortunately. Apparently the UT engine requires some bullshittery with palettes in order to do masked textures. Since I assume you have Photoshop installed already, would you mind running those through this process? After that I pretty much just have the readme to update and then I can release the new version. I'm using GIMP right now, but I'm sure it's similar enough. Gimme a few minutes. Edit: Turns out it's even easier in GIMP than photoshop. That's a nice change of pace. http://sites.google.com/site/shadow516/wpgrenade.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 KillHour fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jul 10, 2010 |

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Then congratulations for replying to "this is a poor introduction for players who have never played Deus Ex before" with "you're a retarded noob." No, I'm replying to "Liberty Island sucks because it's too hard, and I'm a retard." Is it a bit jarring to have almost no direction the first time you play? Yeah. Is it pretty much a crash course? Sure. Is it impossible to do without using guns? No. Is it too hard? Not in the slightest. ...of SCIENCE! posted:This is a perfectly valid criticism, Deus Ex's economy is brutal to newcomers as anybody who spent 2000 credits on a pair of single-use nightvision goggles from Smuggler will tell you. Yeah, but being taken to the bank by a black market dealer makes sense when you think about it. Besides, there's nothing you really need money for, so it's not like it gimps you.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:You're talking about things you know from experience. I'm talking about the level's function as a tutorial and as an introduction to what the rest of the game plays like. (Which, for the most part, is "much more fun than Liberty Island!") The reason people don't get into the game on their first try is because they don't go into it in the right mindset, not because Liberty Island sucks. It's a great tutorial level because it really highlights the "this isn't your average shooter" aspect. If you don't get that, then you are a retard.
