You should be adjusting the resolution in the exe launcher box before you start the game. Failing all that I'd reinstall. reinstalling now. When I adjusted the resolution in the launcher it launched at a really low setting but Deus Ex said it was in 1920 x 1280. Is this just the ui being really huge for high resolutions?

Alright I got it working right (or close to right I don't really care anymore) and I played the statue level. And it was pretty fun! I'm really glad I took my buddies adise and chose the gep gun since I found the other two in a couple minutes. Im at the castle place now, only problem I have is that I can't find anyone to buy ammo off of and the guy in the armory just told me to get moving. I like to play non-lethal where I can.

Deus Ex 1 doesn't have any shops. There are a few people throughout the game who will sell you things but 99% of your ammunition is going to come from exploration and enemy drops. If you're out of pepper spray, gas grenades and riot prod charges you'll have to fall back on the baton if you want to play non-lethally. edit: and tranquilizer darts. Forgot those.

It does have shops, only different from the RPGs you are used to and more realistic. Stuff readily available to be stolen and then some did have security features.

Well, I would classify those under exploration, since you're breaking in and stealing things rather than exchanging credits for them. But you're right that shops do exist in the game world.

Hogburto posted:My only advice for a new player is that pepper spray is actually ridiculously useful and it only takes a single puff (of which you actually get 200 per 100 ammo cartridge) to incapacitate anyone susceptible to gas. Huge ammo saver. Don't try to shoot someone you are literally pushing on though or the puff will spawn behind them. Occupy Area 51. Pepper spray everyone.

I kill everyone after I run out of non lethal ammo and now I'm some big war criminal. I don't have an eye for early 2000 pc games, can someone tell me if this is running in 1920x1080? The large ui and sort of small fov tell me it isn't but I've set it to 1920x1080 in the deus exe, ini file and in game settings. http://i.imgur.com/3xJ0g.jpg

Thanks, I wasnt sure if it was actually 16:9 or stretched and blown up. Now all I have to do is get the ui high resolution mod working. I'm at the airport now, and I'm really racking up the body count. I guess I should really try stealth more because just trying to eliminate people with non lethal ammo leads to me running out of non lethal ammo leads to me killing people.

I'm not trying to do a full non-lethal, just maybe leave like half the people I encounter alive afterwards so the armory guy wont treat me like war criminal when I ask for weapons. If he doesn't like my methods then poo poo, he should throw some darts my way!

I always play non-lethal and instead of helping me out with non-lethal stuff Carter keeps giving me useless bullets! If you are lethal I assume he gives you nothing? Where's the logic in that, General?!

As a slightly unrelated note, one of the books quoted and referenced frequently in Deus Ex, G.K. Chesterton's "The Man Who Was Thursday" is the January Book of the Month Club book in The Book Barn. You should consider joining in! It's metaphysical thriller about anarchist plots in turn-of-the-last-century Europe, with approaches and references that you should pick up in reverse if you know your Deus Ex. The book is even free via Project Gutenberg since Chesterton is dead as hell. You can buy it though too. Zorak fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jan 6, 2012 |

Alright so (and I'm not spoiling this cause the game is nearly twelve years old but if someone requests me to I'll edit) I just killed Anna (and funny enough the terrorist guy died in the crossfire) and I'm on the roof on a UNATCO building. I just uploaded a message to a radio dish and now I'm found out for a big 'ol traitor and now I don't know what to do. I fought off the initial assault from the suits but now there is no objective.

Also i envy you because i wish i could play this bit for the first time again.  Also try and save Lebedev (the terrorist guy) next time if you're going to kill Anna then. He has some interesting things to say.

Alright, I did as you said and after some careful dropping of boxes and uncareful jumps from roofs I snuck past most the guards and made my way to the Ton. After jumping down the stairs I got hit a couple times in a gunfight and had to crawl all the way to the station, gunning people down with my sniper rifle. I made it up to central park when...that fucker came up to me and arrested me. It was a pretty cool moment, inching past some steps desperately hoping to avoid the guards and then seeing Gunther sprinting towards me. I gotta say some of the voice acting is...flat? It's better than I would have expected for the time but the actor for JC Denton has one tone for just about everything. It's especially weird when they keep talking about how his brothers been killed and he can only muster up a "oh I guess that's interesting" tone.

The voice acting never bothered me within the game, but when listening to it in clips outside the game a lot of it is shockingly bad.

I have a slight problem with Deus Ex and Ubuntu 10.04 (Leeenux Linux 4.01). Apparently even though window manager reports the OS running full-colour (24 bits apparently) and I choose 32 bits in Deus Exe as well, display depth drops to 16 bits anyway, even in windowed mode. Do I have some wrong settings in Wine or is this something I'll have to live with? As I've played the game on the default Xandros OS it seemed to work on 32 bits. Machine is Asus EEE 701 (Celeron M 900, Intel 900 GMA).

Trying to avoid spoiling anyone, ever, is a great idea but spoiler tagging everything makes threads harder to read and more annoying to contribute to. It's perfectly reasonable to expect spoilers when entering a thread for any game older than a few months. That said, if someone posts in the thread explicitly stating that they're playing through for the first time, spoiler tags are the polite thing to do.

I don't think I did my first couple times. Mind keeping us updated? I really love hearing peoples thoughts as they play this game for the first time. Also, everyone else: I don't think it's nice to point out all the diverging paths and choices he could have made. Part of the fun is finding things out or at least noting them for the future play-through. I just hate playing a game and feeling like I "messed up" because I missed something that someone else says I should have done. I realise I did it myself by telling him to save Lebedev next time, but I don't think it's the same as "you should have saved Paul". I'm not sure I'm getting across what I'm trying to say here, v  v, sorry running on very little sleep.God, I love talking about this game.

Alright so I escaped the UNATCO building leaving about 30 widows and an unemployed secretary. Partly because this game doesn't have a radar system (I'd trade half my augs for one) and partly because Denton comes across as a sort of psychopath I've nearly given up not killing guards. If I leave 1 in 3 alive I feel alright about it. I like the albino explanation for the shades and coat (although my Denton is Hispanic so I guess future tan?) and building a little team from the inside of UNATCO. I guess it's REALLY important not to miss augs since the canisters are tied to a body slot. e- poo poo I could have fought the guards at Pauls apartment! That's pretty cool!

It's actually more important, in my opinion, not to miss aug upgrades; there are multiple versions of each aug canisters, although they are in many cases much later in the game.

Like the above poster said, you can pretty much get to exactly where you could potentially escape the ambush, but Jock doesn't do anything. It's one of the game's few "fake choices", in that it doesn't really matter what you do, Gunther and his hatred for lemon-lime soda will hunt you down.
