oh i ran across The Nameless Mod which i've never played, but which i understand to be the result of a giant in-joke among the moderators at the official deus ex forums

could be great ... or garbage!

It was fun when I played it. Eventually a Deus Ex like story takes shape, but you will have to stomach the beginning.

The beginning was even better IMO, it's a cringeworthy fan community old-internet-meme shitfest that is somehow far more competently put together and well-thought-out than you would expect.

The Nameless Mod also does what few AAA games bother to do nowadays which is have a fully fleshed out story where you join the bad guy. It's not near the end, either, there's fully two distinct paths to the end.

edit: it's good

Have all their albums plus the THYX ones, they're extremely good. I absolutely love Michael McCann in HR and MD though. His tracks in the Extended Edition edition of the MD soundtrack are great for any cyberpunk setting tbh. Currently trying some tracks out in the Battletech Beta, fits fairly well.

At the end of Invisible War he's inside of every man and woman on the planet.

But yeah he failed to seal the deal with either of those Australian broads. "Fanks for getting me in" and then that bitch ghosted on him.

You can totally knock out an MiB with a riot prod jab or two to the small of the back, and doing so means they don't self-destruct so you can loot them. They're usually carrying good stuff.

Oh right, it was the MiBs that say that. Never mind—yeah, you can knock them out. A lot of them have Dragon's Teeth, if I remember correctly, but you probably already have it by then anyway.

Billion years old game that was decent about billion year minus 4 years ago. Looks bad, plays horribly, probably hassle to get to run on modern computer, sounds bad and filled with cryptic 90's video game poo poo. Why there is a topic about this in 2017?

autism or other form of retardation?

It's no hassle to get running. It does a lot of things modern games should, but usually don't.

*checks first page of GBS* hmm yes this thread in particular is retarded the most *taps pipe on screen*.

This but Arkane Studios. They're were already working Chris Avellone with Prey and all their games are basically Thief/SS/DX inspired. Maybe even Arkane+Obsidian JV would be p good.

i dunno if i trust arkane with being able to write a good deus ex, though i have a lot of confidence they'd make brilliant gameplay. prey was a definite step up in writing from their other games, and had an interesting twist, but the cyberpunk paranoia and philosophy that underpinned deus ex will take some chops to emulate.

Honestly the hardest thing about getting Deus ex to run in my experience is the mods. I finally ditched all of them and it installs in about 10 seconds and runs like butter

Hmm backtracking is bad. Better to be in some kind of corridor.

yeah it's much more like ss2 but deus ex and ss2 have major gameplay similarities, which prey shares. i imagine the ss2/deus ex fanbases on a venn diagram would be a near perfect overlap, so the recommendation seemed appropriate.

Good, good. I hope you're having a good night. I'm watching an episode of Roadkill, where they cut the body off a corvette and turn it into a go-kart. It's 10AM here and I should go to sleep but :sludgepal:
