Praise for Deus Ex and a question...

[Carolus Rex]

What a great game! Fantastic atmosphere and intelligent gameplay!

I bought it two years ago, but only played The Statue of Liberty, Battery Park/Clinton Castle, and a little bit of Hell's Kitchen (?). Then I went abroad for a year and left my desktop and the game at home.

Picked it up again recently; wow! I usually come home at about 22.00 - 23.00 from work, fire it up to play an hour or two... End up playing it to 03.00 AM... Last night I only got 4 hours of sleep. It's Civ 2 all over again!

The question: one of the secondary goals in Clinton Castle is to locate a canister of ambrosia (?). I freed the hostages in the subway station first and got the message to next help Anna Navarra (?) to find the ambrosia. When I reach her she tells me she found it already and to get on with the rest of the mission. The goal is not not marked as completed in the "goals screen"...

This seems strange... Should I persist looking for the ambrosia or is it a bug?

Thanks (and no spoilers, please)!

Just wait until you get into the real part of the game

I would try to go in and find it anyway, it isn't a very hard mission.

I'm guessing that it means finding it yourself, and Anna finding it is the way the story is handled if you fail to do so.

Wow, are you in for a wild ride yet.

Deus Ex is one of those games that I wish I could play again for the first time.

Indeed, Deus Ex is one of those games that could have been another dime-in-a-dozen FPS but got things "right". There's something for everybody to like in this game. Story, gameplay, RPG characteristics, new twists (for a FPS), different ways to solve a problem etc.

One of my personal favourites is the hotel lobby when things get hairy. But I won't spoil the surprise for you, enjoy!
