A late comer to Deus Ex

[Rasputin]

yes just started my first relaistic game and no extra baddies, but defionatly less able to take any hits..


and it definatly hard to get around with just the prod and tranq, means more sneaking!!!! leaving many terrorists unharmed this time.....

Realistic doesn't change the number of opponents.
It does change the number of goodies you find though.
The first laser sight I found for my rifle was in HK IIRC.

That guard outside the cell is fairly easy to take out if you do it in stages, ie: sneak to the desk first and hide in the shadow underneath.

i found taking the guard out easier by wating for him to walking past the open cell door . after grabbing the baton from hallway of course.

If you mean the guards in the robotic maintenance bay - don't even bother trying to fight. Just sneak as far as you can across the place, then, when you're spotted, run for the exit.

you can fight(that is them if we are thinking of the same place) but you have to be pretty good. i think i managed to do it on hard or whatever setting below realistic is(never tried realistic yet). there is pretty good cover and you can always run away(the bots don't seem to follow) so you can try again after they calm down. iirc you can also hack a computer so some bots fight for you.

If you mean the military bots, you could try fighting, but there really isn't any point. Getting behind them is child's play, and once you get inside, you can use a security computer to deactivate them.

yes fighting is for wimps who dont have the balls to try to figure out how to make it without the explosions ...

Good to see people still enjoying this classic.

[Rasputin]

ok into the final scenes now... have to make my choice...

do i join the illuminati

do i destroy them

do i mind meld with a computer...


hmmmm which option gives me the girls !!!!!!

[DrSpike]

Someone's been playing a lot.

I like setting the end save-game up so that to complete any ending you only need to do a simple thing like enter a single code or such. Isn't too hard once you get the UCs closed.

[Kassiopeia]

Yeah, that's the way to go.

I had quite a time with the final level, I remember that I kept running out of everything. I had to calculate my use of multitools and ammo very carefully and tried to exhaust any other options when opening locks and whatnot. Fun.

[GeneralTacticus]

Funny... I always found that Iwas overflowing with equipment by the end, to the point where I could do almost anything I wanted to.

Well, you're unlikely to get any girls if you're a small cloud of gas floating around in the upper atmosphere, and you probably won't be very interested once you've merged with Helios (although you might well discover other things that are even more ejnoyable), so I'd advise you to go with the Iluminati ending.

[Skanky Burns]

I had heaps of some types of equipment that I just didn't use. Light darts, phosphorus rockets, shotgun shells, I never tended to use these things at all during the game.

[GeneralTacticus]

phosphorus rockets,

WHAT!? How could you possibly not use those things? They absolutely slaughter groups of infantry, and they have the added benefit of setting people on fire and causing them to run around screaming and igniting other things.
