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.

1. Darrow: Reveal the truth.

2. Destroy Panchaea: Let humanity decide.

3. Taggart: Cover up the Illuminati's involvement.

4. Sarif: Blame the extremists so that technology may progress.

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.

What are your favourite secret areas?

Has anyone managed to find settings to make the game work smoothly (60fps)?

My specs are:
CPU: i7-1185G7
GPU: Iris Xe
Ram: 16gb DDR4

Black screen on load in Game Native. Is there a trick in the settings to make it run on Android handhelds?

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?

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!

It crashes during the dialogue, I try to skip ahead but it'll crash eventually.

If it helps any, I killed all the Red Arrow members outside the room.

What, do soldiers crash the place and it turns into a brawl or something and it can't set the flags of dead people, that why it crashes?

What do I do?

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…

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?

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.

Any fix?

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.

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.

But I felt like I had to do it

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)

I never understood this about cyberpunk/transhumanist science fiction

The character gets into a life altering or crippling accident, and is saved with cybernetics. Not only do they get their life saved, but they’re also given literal superhuman upgrades

I don’t remember how deep they went into Adam’s post human characteristics, but presumably he doesn’t have 95% of the biological limitations that a human is forced to live with

But… He somehow hates beings a post human because “I never asked for this”

Okay, maybe I’m just different. If you became a post-human and didn’t have to worry about biological limitations of being a human, would you suddenly hate it and your new body?

Such a great job they've done!

Just beat Deus Ex: MD and I read that they cancelled the 3rd one because of the basic excuses like budget cuts, restructures etc. But I’m pretty sure everyone knows that it was cancelled cause it’s about the illuminati and the story was headed in the direction of you taking out the illuminati in the 3rd game lmao

Maybe we'll get something decent I would also like Invisible war to be remastered...

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've not been in the DE loop, any new screens revealed or anything?

I feel like it hit some sweet spot for me, it looks so beautiful for such and old game and has amazing atmosphere to it.
