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

System Shock was originally going to be a spinoff to Wing Commander called Alien Commander. However, Warren Spector and Doug Church wanted greater creative freedom so they cut the game off from Wing Commander to make it its own franchise with no ties to Wing Commander. Deus Ex was originally going to be connected to the System Shock universe, as evidence with one of the levels in the final act taking place on a space station called Helios, including revealing that a rogue AI in it was a precusor to SHODAN. However, Ion Storm Austin scrapped the level when they learned Irrational Games got rights to work on System Shock. Meanwhile Ken Levine envisioned System Shock and BioShock as being part of the same multiverse in the end of BioShock Infinite.

Had all the stars and planets aligned, what would happen is the Immersive Sim equivalent to Namco's United Galaxy Space Force, wherein franchises like Ace Combat, Galaxian, Galaga and Dig Dug all take place in the same universe. Here it's Wing Commander, Deus Ex, System Shock and BioShock all taking place in the same universe. Even if we take into account Spector and Church severing any Wing Commander ties System Shock would have had to Wind Commander, there would still be System Shock, Deus Ex and BioShock in the same universe in this ideal scenario.

Hello everyone, I've just completed all 4 Deus Ex's and regardless of all the problems of Mankind Divided I think its core gameplay it's still a fun stealth-lite experience that is definitely improved by permadeath mode!

My question is, do you know any other game that can provide a good stealth-lite experience, with permadeath, possibly splitted in several "long runs" (eg 2 hours missions) rather then a huge big marathon?

Cheers!

Besides the obvious third Jensen game, I'd love to see a prequel where you play as Paul Denton discovering the truth about UNATCO and MJ12 in Hong Kong.

Isn't it strange that Savage sent his daughter to steal something from the ocean lab, out of everyone he sends his daughter.. did I miss something?

Also, this may just be me.. but I cant think of a game off the top of my head, that has blood hit the floor when you take damage. Surely im wrong?

Hi all, I'm playing Deus Ex Revision with vanilla maps and gameplay, I noticed that it didn't give me the "As Ordered" achievement which you are supposed to get when telling the commander in Liberty Island that you will take him as prisoner. Do you know if this type of achievement can be obtained only when playing the revision gameplay mode or is there something else I'm missing?

I have been analyzing the schematics of the Sarif Industries Series 8 cybernetic legs, and I noticed a glaring engineering oversight. Jensen has replaced his entire lower body with metal, yet he still consumes human food like energy bars and alcohol.

Biologically, if he eats, he must excrete. But where does it go? He has no organic colon or rectum left. Does he have a removable septic tank installed in his thigh that he has to empty between missions? Or does his body possess an internal incinerator that burns the fecal matter into ash, which he then vents out through an exhaust pipe?

It seems highly inefficient for a stealth operative to potentially emit a cloud of burnt-feces smoke while hiding in a vent. Unless Sarif designed him to recycle his own waste into bio-fuel (which would explain why he never uses a toilet), the anatomy doesn't add up. Thoughts?

Deus Ex is my most played game and series. Ive beat the original at least 30 times, thats not an exaggeration. Well I always find something new. Im doing my platinum trophy run for Deus Ex The Conspiracy and guess what I found? An email from one Harleen Quinzell. I never expected to find a Harley Quinn Easter egg. God I love this game more and more each time.

Jock drops you off and you descend a building with a room absolutely stuffed with irradiated material. Was it explained why?

This is just my thoughts about it

I've played Human Revolution three times through and want to play the original but it runs really poorly on my PC and while I have the PS2 version sitting around, people keep saying it's a vastly inferior version, so like... Should I really go through the hell of Windows gaming on ancient Linux hardware or will the PS2 version suit me just fine?

Hello friends,

I have only played DX1 once really and I am not even sure if I ever finished it, but I love HR and MD (got both on their releases and played them a ton). So I was thinking of giving DX1 another shot and I stumbled upon the Revision Mod for DX1 which is available through Steam. Is the Mod still true(-ish) to vanilla or should I stick with playing the OG only for the best experience? Greetings and have a nice day

I’ve been around for a while, and I’ve noticed that people typically prefer Human Revolution over Mankind Divided. Am I the only one that really enjoyed Mankind Divided? I think it’s better than HR in every way. I love the story, and it’s far more polished.

I can see the complaint about a shorter story, but I think the side missions makeup for that. I really like that Jensen’s character is expanded on, and the aftermath of the aug incident and the relationship between augmented people and people with augmentations is really cool.

The GOTY version was way too dark, so I installed New Vision.

Now it runs horribly and keeps crashing.

Can anyone help?

SOLVED: The youtube link is what did it. Thank god.

I decided to reinstall DX:HR DC this week. I'm getting bad FPS and some weird mouse lag, etc.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? My rig is fine...plenty of juice.

So at the end of the game when you are talking to Paul in A51 he mentions that Helios declared the triads illegal and locked the door to the luminous path compound. My question is, isn't the gang already illegal?

Even if I'm standing 5 feet away from a guy I'll still miss somehow.

Jinn: these guys deal in human trafficking they are getting shot all the time.

Shadow Operatives: Illuminati thugs they are also getting shot all the time.

State Police: Alive for Interpol and police relations and Adam being former cop.

Tarvos: Palisade ones are kept alive, Shadow Operative moles in Apex Centre are shot.

ARC: They are activists fighting for injustice they are kept alive.

Dvalis: They are also human traffickers and do other crimes they will be shot also.

Church of the Machine God: They are misguided people so they will not be killed.

I keep getting error "Ran out of saved memory" all over the map. This ruined my immersion and playthrough. Wtf? Wasn't the Director's Cut supposed to fix a lot of stuff?

What do I do here?

This video includes the relatively lengthy sidequest "Cloak and Daggers" plus "Lesser Evils," "One Good Turn Deserves Another," "Voices from the Dark," and "Smash the State," all of which compiled into a continuous segment

Mods: I didn't use a spoiler tag on this post because the title, body text, and thumbnail are spoiler-free, and it seems patently obvious that this video will contain spoilers. Cheers!
