FAQ page and guide to getting Deus Ex 1 running on your PC

the only thing i legit remember is going to the women's bathroom.

There is so much content for DX1 out there, mostly in the form of mods. However, many mods do contradict facts from the original games, or just lack the quality to be considered sufficiently at the level of DX.

To solve this, a Canon Board can help. Once a common timeline is defined and a Canon "somewhat" established, this would be a unified baseline where Mods can opt in (or out), so it makes it easier for mod developers to be part of a unified "world", and thus increase immersion and quality by alot.

Please comment if you have any heads-ups or if you want to contribute :)

That was my first reaction when I saw the sales of the games. The level of polish of every single game in the franchise is nothing like I've ever seen in almost any other franchise, yet it's not popular???

I get that we haven't gotten a new game in quite a while, and discussions about the game eventually shrink in scale. But still, it revolutionized video games. Level design wise, story wise(not every game. IW and MD, but they are still decent), world building, philosophy, OMG THE PHILOSOPHY. From the original game to the prequels this franchise is peak philosophy for me. I told my friends and fanily about the themes of the games and they were blown away. Especielly my parents that didn't believe that video games can have depth haha

But the numbers don't lie:( 12 million sales throughout a franchise might seem like a lot, until you realise that other AAA titles are in the hundereds of millions. And they don't come even close to the level of polish of Deus Ex.

It just seems so wrong that this franchise isn't as popular as it should. It's my second favorite video game franchise of all time, and Deus Ex (2000) is my favorite game of all time. I really thought that this franchise is as popular like Halo or something similar

I had the idea of doing a no augment challenge run for DX:HR. But then I was like what If I could do it as good old Organic Jensen from the introduction. I wonder if there’s a dedicated mod where that could be possible. I think it’d be super fun for a challenge video.

Sharing how good the golden and black atmosphere, can be blended in a good black levels of a CRT.

heh

In lieu of waiting for the questionable remaster, I wanted to boot up Deus Ex again. After some reading GMDX Augmented Addition seems to be the route I want to go, but I was trying to figure out if I should use a specific launcher like Kentie's.

I appreciate any input!

The typhoon would be the strongest weapon per hit in Mankind Divided. It takes out every human enemy with one shot in both Human Revolution and Mankind Divided except the bosses. But if you really think that canonically the bosses would need two or more typhoons to take them down and not think it is for game play purposes then you are a crackhead. I saw some people commenting that they couldn't understand why it was not possible to punch and knock out the Exo-suits without using a emp. It makes a lot of sense why Adam cannot just do that because if these suits can take a direct Typhoon blast then Adam's punch would be useless against them unless using EMP weapon immobilize them first.

Hey fellow gamers, modern gaming is ruled by predatory monetization, while unique franchises are locked away in corporate vaults to rot. I started a movement called "The Forgotten Three" to bring together the most frustrated communities (Titanfall, Half-Life, PvZ, Battlefront, etc.) who are all waiting for that missing third installment. It’s time to tell these corporations to learn how to count to three again. Check it out and sign here: https://www.change.org/The3robbery

Parts of the Soundtrack and ambient background music sound so familiar, I always think the Main Theme of Deus Ex 1 will start immediately.

Found in the hidden room in the CTO/CEO room.

Asha,

To avoid any issues with client perspectives on backup policies, I think we should consider moving some of the more critical files into special storage. And I changed the code myself to 1293 so I hope you check your messages before you access the locker.

Lot of dark and depressing conspiracies in the games naturally, but is there any that is actually light and maybe wholesome in nature?

so i wanna attempt stealth based run for mankind divided on i never asked for this difficulty, completing all of the side missions without save scumming or getting into fights unless completely necesarry (hele confrontation with picus team and the part in aug getho when you have to rescue the brother and then of course part when you need to take out the shop keeper for otar.) my question is how doable or not so doable do you think this is.

Just started Deus Ex for the first time.

Been wanting this for a long time.

One of the biggest gaming sequel fumbles of all time, Design, story and gameplay wise Invisible War feels like a console spinoff rather than a true sequel. I'm sure they were thinking of tapping in the console sales at that time but by 2003 the PC market was still very healthy for exclusives (COD, Rise of Nations etc)

In the opening cutscene of the game you can see Eliza Cassan saying 251 passengers in Cista Airlines 451 died when a augmented terrorist killed the plane's crew. Turns out that was a lie to cover something up.

Playing via Steam with Xbox controller.

For whatever reason the left trigger will always active the Fire button no matter what controller setting in the game I use...this is usually the Iron Sights function. One the setups has this as Seek Cover...which will do that but will also cause the readied weapon to fire.

Tried playing around with the Steam controller setup; but I don't know what I am doing at all.

Any advice on fixing this?

I just finished replaying the game for the first time in probably a decade and had a question regarding Hugh Darrow's motivation in the ending, where he activates the signal and seemingly has a change of heart and wants to destroy his work.

Trying to sway him to your side and make him stop, you are given the option to claim that he is jealous that the technology he created is leaving him behind and he responds saying that his body fully rejects the technology unlike Adam who can embrace it entirely.

So, is his motive for activating the signal and destroying his work really truly noble in that he wants to stop humanity destroying itself and prevent the illuminati from using it in bad ways? Or is it tainted by bitterness and jealousy of not being able to use it?

It wasn't really clear to me and it's the only thing that left me feeling like I didn't truly understand him as a character.
