What the gently caress do you want, a chilled Zima? Get The gently caress Out Of Here.

Does that actually work? I've heard that it does, and I've heard that it doesn't.

Get the Speeed Aug (preferably upgraded too) and you'll not miss any cool secrety bits. That's about it; you really can't screw up.

Dunno. Would have been cool to have him randomly show up later on in the game. Does shifter award skill points for doing this? The vanilla game doesn't apparently. Not that I need any incentive tosave that crazy knife wielding maniac

So during those scripts I hand over my equipped weapon instead of the first 10mm pistol it finds? That's cool; I always had a spare sawed-off shotgun for Gilbert anyway.

Prototype Nanoswords

You people? Gods amongst AI.

Mudlark posted:

There's also one of the prototype nanoswords atop the shipping crate that has the rear-entrance to Smuggler's place. Only there after you grab the Dragon Tooth or whatever the gently caress. I've taken to just calling it the Motherfucker. The prototype sword does more damage than the DT, but it shorts out from time to time, making it do less damage than a baton.

A tad. Every faction in the game was after the same objectives, for different reasons. The contrived part was the way the ending - the protagonist joining one of the four sides - was determined by his actions in the final 20 minutes of the game, disregarding everything that came before that.

Cardboard Fox posted:

I can see that things don't respawn in this game. What would happen if you just murdered everything and everyone you came across? What kind of ending would you get?

Psion posted:

At least in DX you could usually shoot them and then you'd die or whatever. So sure, it was kind of a false choice but at least you always had the capability even if the game railroaded you into not doing it. The same thing is hilariously bad in DXIW. "Oh sorry you're going into an area with plot critical characters.... Gonna need you to let us remotely disable your weapons, since there is no way a bioaugmented agent could ever kill anyone with their bare hands or anything. Yeah we promise to re-enable them later. Don't mind us."

Tell me you have a link to a video?

Junk posted:

Something always bugged me about the last trip to Hell's Kitchen you make in the game. When you go and talk to Stanton Dowd, some punk guy runs up behind you and aims his gun during the conversation. When the conversation is over, he opens fire. Beforehand you can find him wandering around in the alley behind the 'Ton Hotel where he just says stuff like "yo what's up." Who is that guy and what's his beef anyway?

Xander77 posted:

Why rely on the twelve thousand Unatco / MJ12 troops in the area when you can get one assassin thug.

Have another video:

Well, I beat Deus Ex again.

I didn't get the famous "oh my god JC, a bomb!" scene. I think I did something wrong.

Samopsa posted:

The only thing you have to do is run up to the live one and him in THE FACE with your nanosword of choice. The rest is optional.

BlackCircle posted:

Doesn't shifter also add a feature where Ford Schick(I think that was his name. the guy you rescue from the MJ12 lab under hells kitchen) ends up hanging out in Smugglers room? Its either that or you can spawn him and he thanks you with an upgrade canister and has a pretty long dialogue about augmentations.

I could also be making this whole thing up but I swear I saw it once.

Sten Freak posted:

Found something new to me today. I put what I thought was a laser mod but may have been a scope mod on the Rail Gun, which I think is a shifter plasma gun (?), and now I can see through walls, floors with the scope and shoot through solid objects to kill stuff a long rear end ways away. It seems commandos and bots show up but not regular infantry? Something odd is going on but I just wiped out 6 or so commandos in the cathedral from near the subway stairs, all one shot headshot kills.

Is this all shifter stuff?

Mr_Person posted:

I just started a new Realistic difficulty pacifist run with Shifter. I made it to Hell's Kitchen and took care of the situation in the 'Ton, and now the UNATCO troops out in the streets are just spontaneously falling to the ground unconscious as I walk past. They're also dropping weird loot, such as swords, zyme, and GEP guns. I'll try to record a video if it keeps happening because this is weird as hell.

Am I the only one who always uses albino JC? The canon version just doesn't seem right any more, I can't play with him at all

I also bet that literally not one person has ever used Ginger JC.

I was slaughtered in the midst of blackjacking an MIB, but they're saying he's alive.

I also somehow ended up back in my cell with no body; the medibot handled that though.

Ahaha, you can destroy the little roomba bots by stomping on them enough. It's even more fun than jumping on cats!

Wait does this mean that if I left through the window when I first went to the apartment during the first visit to Hell's kitchen I might be hosed? How does Shifter play into this?

AXE COP posted:

Is the e-mail from Project Mayhem in the Underworld Bar in vanilla or something that Shifter adds in?

There's a computer in the Underworld Bar?

Le Sean posted:

I really wish there were a 'woot' option when you hear Smuggler has gotten his poo poo pushed in by Gunther. Because gently caress him. You need Expert level Gymnastics skills to even get down to his parent's basement where he lives with some hacker-hobo, all so that he tells you information that really isn't all that informative and tries to Nigeria scam you into trading value money for scraps you could easily find on a street corner.

If there were an option to sell him out myself, I'd choose it every time, especially since his hobosexual friend is infinitely more helpful, what with the upgrade cannister + cool information combo.

Wait Zyme's actually good for something? I thought all it did was make you super-drunk?

John Dough posted:

When that happens I always huddle in a corner until it's over. After clearing the MJ12 barracks in the helicopter base in Hong Kong I had JC shower until the effect wore off. I like to realistically portray junkie JC for some reason.

Angry Diplomat posted:

I measure success by how needlessly overcustomized one of my weapons is. I don't care if I've foresworn all ranged weapons and chosen to live by the sword, this goddamned Magnum is going to be the pimpest gun on the loving planet.

Can the DX editor tweak which mods can go on which guns? I want a silenced Gep gun.

Mr. Gerbik posted:

drat, really? Can I still get into the facility somehow to grab the points?

Gollom posted:

Mostly sealed off. You can go down there, and get 60(I think) skillpoints for walking across the rotating bridge, but thats about it. When you come back from Hong Kong, you can do it again.

It's pretty cool that there's so many small details like this, but at the same time it's too bad there wasn't a lot of consistency to it. Nothing would have told me to try this before other than experimentation because for the majority of the game NPCs will respond to rampant violence in two different ways: on-sight violence or running around panicked then straight up ignorance to the mounds of corpses around them.
Especially with the clumsy game mechanics getting in the way. The guy in the video had to stand around for about twelve seconds while his target calmed down.
