I am finally nearing the end and having to decide which of the endings I want to go with (leaning towards the Helios ending currently). Anyway, does anyone else here play it? If so, do you have any interesting stories about what has happened to your character?
The other day I was re-playing the gas station hostage rescue (it’s one of my favorites), and I accidentally alerted one of the MJ12 troops when I sniped a commando. He came running towards me, assault rifle blazing, until some of his stray bullets hit the gas pumps. The roof over the pumps collapsed on him, killing him. Laughed out loud at that one.
Just save and do all the endings. Should be able to do em all in 30 minutes. I prefer the Helios ending, seems the most appropriate.
Dont forget afterwards to cheat and get the hidden 4th ending!
I think you only get to do that if you manage to save Tiffany. Her father gives you an augmentation upgrade and then you get 500 XP. If your inventory is full you give the standard ‘I need to drop something’ line and you still get the XP - so if you talk to him again and again with a full inventory, unlimited XP.
Standing cloaked in a roomful of MJ12 troops and hearing one of them say ‘You know, I hear this guy can make himself invisible when he wants.’ I thought it was pretty damned funny at the time.
Releasing the greasels on the guards in the secret MJ12 base.
Miguel (the NSF terrorist you can rescue after you get captured) walking through a window and setting off the alarm. I shot him for being so stupid.
To get the secret “ending” you have to edit the user.ini file so that all instances of t= change to t=talk. Then in the game hit t, and a “say” prompt will come up. Backspace it and type “set DeusEx.JCDentonMale bCheatsEnabled True”.
Now, hit t again and you can type in cheats. The one you want is “legend”. It will give you a menu, one option is to load any map. There are 4 ending maps, the 4th is the secret.
I would just like to say that this game looks beautiful at 1600x1200 on my GeForce 2. MMMMm… Nicolette.
