Comments on: Deus Ex https://www.pentadact.com/2005-08-13-1-deus-ex1/ We're back on a default theme because comments broke on my custom one and I don't have the energy to figure out why Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:03:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: DemonDoll https://www.pentadact.com/2005-08-13-1-deus-ex1/#comment-220057 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:03:18 +0000 http://www.kfj.f2s.com/wordpress/index.php/2005/08/13/1-deus-ex1/#comment-220057 For the reference of Zig13 and anyone else who might still care: Deus Ex, while an amazing game, was programmed by 3 guys (unlike today’s [2011] big titles) and there are many many little bugs. An example is that for the purposes of both the first and second levels any bodies on the level count as kills. So even if you knock everyone out you’re accused of being a murderer. But if you kill everyone, stack their corpses in a horrifying pyramid and blow it all up then you’re a model citizen. I think all it’s bugs are very easy to overlook because it is such an unbiased game and I don’t have to live with the insult of sub-par statistics (whether they be 0 kills) simply because the game, like real life, doesn’t track and doesn’t care.

It’s still my favourite game to date. You got good taste Mr Francis :)

It’s a semi-linear game, and the devs back then probably didn’t have the tech or budget to do REAL linearity.

Your character endsd up saying things you compleley disagree with. The worst example is the second level – Castle Clinton. I completed it without killing anyone – I used the tranquilizer darts and shock prod only. And yet, when I get back to base and talk to the armory guy, my character boasts that ‘the floors of castle clinton are covered in bodies’. Coincidently the armorer dosn’t give me any ammo. You are also forced to go against orders and can only progress by sending a signal that helps terroists. And then you have to get caught and imprisoned. These things really made me loose respect for the game.
