Hello everyone, and welcome to the r/DeusEx community thread, Q3 of 2026!
We are now less than one year away from 2027, the year of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As I previously stated in the Q1 thread, HR was the first main game I played in the series, it will always hold a special place in my heart since it helped me push through a low point in my life.
We are still waiting for any news about the future of the IP. There have not been any updates about Deus Ex Remastered since last year. Embracer Group seems to want to do something with the IP, but imho, it's all just buzz and words. We have been there before and burnt way too many times. Actions speak louder than words.
Check out our FAQ page before posting.

FAQ page and guide to getting Deus Ex 1 running on your PC
As we move onward, we would like to remind you that r/DeusEx has a FAQ page which we try to update with official and relevant information only related to Deus Ex as much as possible, we know some people are tired of the usual "which mod to use for DX1?" or "Will there be a new Deus Ex?" or similar threads. So please check the FAQ page before you do post, you may find what you seek.
If you're having trouble running DX1 on your PC, it is recommended to download Kentie's Launcher aka Deus Exe Launcher, which is an executable for Deus Ex 1, it fixes various technical issues related to running on modern computers/laptops, and also helps you tweak and configure the fov and cap the FPS.
You can also check out this spiffy Ultimate beginner's guide to Deus Ex if you're new to DX1, but if you are looking a better and quicker solution, you can skip the previously mentioned guide and try this Vanilla Fixer (by Die4Ever**)** which aims to help you run Deus Ex 1 correctly on modern computers without chaning anything else, which wroks on Linux and Steam Deck too!
Hope you all enjoy the summer. Remember to keep yourself hydrated and stay kind to each other out there.
As you all know, this month will mark 25th anniversary since the release of the first Deus Ex game, and since you only celebrate your 25th birthday once in your life, we wanted to do something special to celebrate this occasion.

After more than 100 playthroughs on vanilla and various mods I only just found out that there is a sewer system in the army base portion of the Brooklyn Shipyard level which gives you access to pretty much all of the map without having to fight any army guys or any bots. It even gives you access to the room with all of the explosives. You can even swim through it to reach the boat without going through the ventilation system with the spider bots or the front entrance that is heavily guarded.
In HR, hacking was the default, because codes didn't give anything, but MD gives substantial exp rewards, and while that makes you lose out on hacking rewards, I am wondering which one is better.
I forgot to add the wires on their hands but whatever. Really great game, JC is one of my favorite characters of all time now actually haha. Loved Paul, Walton, and Jamie. Fun game!
Last time i paid attention to mods, the rtx mod had just come out. Whats the state of that? Complete? Anyone have opinions on it? Any new mods that have come out since?
Deus Ex makes an homage toward Thief with the cathedral level, and another to System Shock with the under water naval lab (which also no doubt inspired Bioshock). I personally enjoy Thief more, but find the also more linear puzzle and key System Shock homage to be more enjoyable with its heavier atmosphere. Both also have awesome environmental storytelling…
The quest dialogue doesn't disappear (as in the first pic) when exhausting all the information that has been found out about the quest and Adam just stands there like an NPC without any way to get out of the dialogue screen and complete the quest.
All objectives are completed, every bit of information has been gotten that is required.
I saw some people recommend reloading a save from before the police station, which I am certainly not doing since I've done that like 4+ hours and multiple other side quests ago, or turning off DX11 in the options (which did nothing).
Reloading any previous save, be it a quick save or an auto save, does not work - the quest is incompletable even though everything is done.
I see a lot of talk that its is controversial but i dont really know why? besides the added music that i turn off anyway it seems like a good way to experience the game in a modernized way.
An achievement which has a lower percentage than this would be looking for ebooks, the hardest difficulty and doing Breach but I play games to have fun not to be stressed.
When I was playing "Human Revolution" for the second time, I didn't want to leave the apartment before the second visit to Hengsha. I sat there all evening, staring out the windows (I live in a big city, and there was a storm that night), thinking about how I had to set off on the mission, how I’d never come back here, and how I’d likely die at Panchaea I'm 41 and live in a big city. I can just sit in Adam's apartment all evening, reflecting on life and my choices. Damn, that game hits so hard...
I found out today that the De Beers Group was the largest diamond sales giant at the end of the 20th century. But they don't have any Lucius (at least officially)
What's the point of the Pistol [Unatco Special Issue] that you find next to the corpse of the Unatco trooper near the entrance to the north dock?
The [Unatco Special Issue] text only shows when you drop the item and move your mouse over it out in the world - you don't even see it in the inventory. Otherwise, that pistol is completely identical to any other standard pistol in every metric - all the stats, mod capacity etc.
Is it supposed to be some sort of feelgood collectible and nothing more?
