I'm actually downloading that now to play later, but I still wanted to go through the normal storyline once, since I'm sure I missed something before.

Everyone talks about the non-leathal runs, but have you played the game where you have killed every NPC you can that doesn't hinder your ability to progress through the game?

>>15126748

>>15126735

I don't think I've done either of these things. I guess I'll need to blow up basically everybody I see?

>>15126713

Why do people like this game? I keep getting to Tracer Tong and quitting, I get bored and the game breaks constantly. Unreal Tournament is the better UEngine 1 game

>>15126792

>why do people like something I don't

I don't fucking know.

>>15126728

This mod is a complete pain in the ass to install.

>>15126792

this, also it's generic leftist trash story corporations and rich are the big bads type of deal, just look at how the writer team turned out

GMDX is not great IMO. Fucks with the original a bit too much and the dev is a cunt, but if you use it make sure to get the newest patch in the files section of the page. It fixes some weird bugs like the full auto mod decreasing ROF of the stealth pistol if you change ammo.

>>15130535

deus ex really isn't a slow and methodical RPG. It's an FPSRPG with stealth elements. No need to change the genres outside of convenience to avoid criticism. That's what nuGOW fans do.

>>15130455

>>15130480

Fuck anon, it's been a few years since I last played DX, and seeing your webms invoked the craving in me. I guess I'll be playing this tomorrow. Think I'm gonna do a melee only run, no dragon tooth.

>>15130567

You're welcome, I guess. Never played DX melee focused myself, aside from the first section before UNATCO betrayal which I always do entirely non lethal, after that I go all out with explosives and shotguns.

>>15130346

it's just an executable. do you have brain damage?

>>15130413

Near the rear crate entrance to the statue IN THE VERY FIRST MISSION there is a garage with a laser mod. Put it on your pistol. Draw your pistol and turn the laser on. Point at dudes, boom pinpoint accuracy for headshoots.

This will one tap pretty much every bad guy until Hong Kong. MIBs and MJ12 armor guys take 2-3 hits.

>>15130695

The Nameless Mod replaces file assets and you need a specific Deus Ex executable which Steam doesn't have. Even then after about 4-6 months the Mod will break if you try anything like restoring Deus Ex back to the original and try to change it back.

>>15130827

I have the steam version installed and it worked just fine

I installed the GOTY gog version and I think I applied that one fix everyone says to get, but it's running a little weird. Objects aren't on the same plane sometimes, and will start being cut if I look at them the wrong way. Any ideas on this? Also is there a brightness mod? I know it's muh dark cyberpunk but it's just on the border of being annoyingly dark.

>>15130871

>I installed the GOTY gog version and I think I applied that one fix everyone says to get, but it's running a little weird.

Which fix? Be specific please.

>>15130882

I think it's called kentie's launcher.

Wait,I changed the renderer and it looks much better now and it stopped, nevermind. Even fixed the brightness.

>>15130910

Oh, it's called Deus Exe by most.

I don't really know what could be the cause of those issues. I don't know what you mean by not being on the same plane, but on the cutting off, that is a Unreal Engine behavior. If you look away from objects they deload, try setting your FOV lower as you don't notice it that way.

On brightness, check your video card software. On AMD, alt+Z opens the overlay where you can change things like brightness, contrast and saturation. Nvidia has something similar but I am not an Nvidia user.

>>15130918

What did you change it to? I have always used DX11 with Deus Exe.

>>15130930

It was open GL, but changing it to Direct3D 10 support made it much better.

>>15130455

>>15130535

I just doesn't make sense to me that a character that's introduced as a $50-billion-dollar secret government experiment would start out this "crippled" gameplay-wise. It breaks the narrative the game heavily bases itself around.

It'd understand it if you lost all your upgrades and equipment at some point when JC figures out about UNATCO's schemes but he starts out green when he could've very well started out like one of the terminator-tier toaster-voiced MJ12 agents. It could be argued that he needed to be made weaker and less experienced than Paul because he betrayed UNATCO but he is fully able to do so as well. He's even weaker than older cyborgs like Gunther (who actually have self-destruct devices in them in case they rebel), so what was the point of making him weak and inexperienced from the beginning instead of a cybernetic superman who knows how to operate weapons due to memory implants and can break necks at breakneck speed? What was the point of wasting 50 billion dollars on a cybernetic agent and then give him grunt-tier equipment (barring the GEP gun) at the start instead of giving him something much more efficient for his job? What was the point of making it an RPG at all?

>>15130820

Yeah I know about it. Liberty Island was easy on non-lethal either way.

>>15130942

Strange, Deus Exe always has defaulted to D3D for me. OpenGL has busted lighting.

>>15130949

>I just doesn't make sense to me that a character that's introduced as a $50-billion-dollar secret government experiment would start out this "crippled" gameplay-wise. It breaks the narrative the game heavily bases itself around.

Who gives a shit? Do you want to be invincible and have perfect accuracy all the time from the get go?

>>15130959

>Who gives a shit about Deus Ex's lore?

What is Deus Ex without it's fucking story?

>Do you want to be invincible and have perfect accuracy all the time from the get go?

Like I said, the plot could've very well revoked all the perfect stats at some point early in the game after JC's trials are over. The story offers countless ways to do it.

>>15130949

Because it is highly experimental and brand spanking new. The augs you find aren't something that anybody can pick up at the supermarket. Granted there is a line somewhere where someone tells you that your nanoaugmentations are going to be released worldwide soon. It could also be argued that Page simply wanted JC to be weak until he knew he could completely trust him. Give someone the means to shine but not make them godlike from the get go.

>who actually have self-destruct devices in them in case they rebel

So does JC and Paul if you played the game.

>>15130969

>So does JC and Paul

Which is silly because their killswitch took 24 hours to kill them off for whatever reason instead of just having a microbomb in their brains.

>>15126713

>get some other people to reinstall

I never uninstalled it.

>>15130981

They're nanoaugmented, so their killswitches aren't literal bombs, probably just the augmentations slowly killing your cells over time.

>>15130981

Yea you're right it is pretty silly. There are some things in this game that are answered simply "because game".

For some reason on my first playthrough I thought the tranq crossbow was actually good. Just that you'd have to wait for someone to be isolated then take them out, but it allows you to do so without having to risk getting caught while repositioning behind them like with the prod. As opposed to just taking out an entire group in one go like you can in modern games.

Then I played the game again years later and it was absolute dogshit. I have no idea why I though it was good. I was playing on realistic difficulty both times.

>>15131055

Tranq crossbow is good. Just take cover at a distance and shoot em, and they're a goner.

>>15126713

>I'll do anything you say, /v/.

Stick your dick in your own asshole and piss.

>>15131097

You must think OP is quite well endowed for his dick to be able to reach his ass.

>>15131093

That's what I thought after my first playthrough, but I realized that most of the game is close quarters or extremely wide open. All the wide open areas have robots and commandos, which the tranq is kinda useless for (commandos need 2 headshots). The inbetween places are really rare.

>>15131117

I actually thought it was good after all my playthroughs but whatever. Even in close quarters you can pop 3 darts into 3 enemies and run and hide.

>>15131148

Maybe its my style then. I probably used it more effectively the first time around.

>>15131186

Maybe. I generally do the first half of the game where you work with UNATCO full non lethal, and only go lethal on the MJ12 soldiers. I spare NSF and UNATCO troops.

I always love the death scream.

Listed Most imporant to least:

Athletics

Stealth

Hacking

Electronics

Lockpicking

Specialized weapons of choice

Medicine

Environmental Training

Are all essential if you're on the harder settings. Combat skills are optional as for the most part you can avoid combat entirely and should where possible, the AI on the harder difficulties will fuck you up. Electronics should be used for the wireless camera hack perk as on the harder modes they detect instantly plus it comes in handy. Hacking is as OP as it was in the vanilla game, if you're playing with pay-to-save feature in GMDX then its even more important to max the fuck out of it as you total number of saves are limited based on the game economy with is also finite. Atheletics is important because it improves your climb which can be used to avoid a lot of combat something vanilla doesn't allow you to do, its also useful because you sprint longer and can also swim. Stealth is very important because the AI is very good at spotting you now, they give you barely any warning now on harder difficulties.

My go to for weapons training is normally

Low-Tec

Rifle

Heavy

Demolition

Pistol

Though in all honesty getting all of them leveled in some shape or form is best because you chew through ammo in GMDX. Low Tech is my go to because of the DT, maxing it out means ammo problems are gone. Rifle is number 2 because you can out range most enemies and I think it still blows up doors and cameras at max level with the sniper rifle.

The augmentations I can't really comment on because I didn't get past Hong Kong on hardcore. Basically ran out of money and soft locked myself. I'd advise getting turning that setting off, its probably the only part I didn't like about hardcore, the save point system was awesome though that you could only save once in certain areas. Completely prevented save scumming for me which I really liked.
