Broke into a random house in Paris and despite getting the same stock soundbite from every other such object in the game I activated a desk phone for kicks and ended up getting threatened by Icarus

Got that on my first playthrough (7 years ago already?) and jumped out of my seat. IIRC, that's the only phone in the game that rings, right?

Totally old news (this past March) but I was completely surprised to find it after searching The Nameless Mod on a lark (and don't recall seeing it in this thread): They're planning a major update that will include some map redesigns. I'm impressed the mod is still supported, let alone being updated. Might get me to replay it.

e: Apparently they released part of the planned update in June.

I liked TNM when I played it ~5 years ago and I don't think I got even close to fully exploring most of the city sections. At the time I mapped out how to get the speed aug as soon as possible to make the long distances bearable (hope that's a priority for the redesigns). I remember trivializing one of the boss fights with the GEP gun (very true to the spirit of the original game) and laughed when there were a bunch of infolink messages about what an intense battle that must have been.

Literally me though in my case I think it was having my legs machine-gunned, Cotton Hill style, by the security bot.

Does GMDX buff the plasma rifle? Been a while since I've played it. I had a lot of fun doing a flamethrower + GEP gun build in GMDX.

Re: soundtrack discussion, "Enemy Within" (UNATCO HQ during your escape) is my favorite track, so full of mystery but oddly uplifting.

GMDX is a lot of fun but it's substantially different. Maybe true to the spirit of the game, but the differences are large. Shifter and Biomod are much more to the effect of vanilla with tweaks.

i think you can also get into maggie's mj12 base through the garage with the broken elevator? or does that get into versalife? i can't remember

Yes, that's one of the routes into her apartment.

I always love walking into her apartment through the front door and seeing an "MJ12 Troop: *coughs*" dialogue box. I like to imagine that as JC's augmented senses tipping him off. Somehow that has happened to me on every single playthrough where I've gone through the front door, but I somehow doubt it's scripted.

I loved doing the MJ12 attack sequence in GMDX. Paul is no longer invincible and he's only counted as rescued if you actually defeat all the attackers. I'm not used to having to try in Deus Ex :qq:

The delivery made her sound more curious than angry, in contrast to Gunther's reaction. Not sure it's the below is a good comparison but it's how I imagined it.
