I just got into Area 51 last night. Jock blew up. I knew about the odd Mechanic, of course. I killed the guy, but nothing happened because I didn't talk to Jock. So I load the quick save and think "Even if I kill the guy, its not going to change anything." I could have saved one more character, but now it's too late. I can't stop thinking "What a shame". :(
Oh, does killing DeBeers (the guy in the cryotube at Everett's) do anything substantial?
Actually tried that with one of my friends before. We made a bet that we'll kill less than 10 people in the whole game (except for MJ12 commandoes because I don't think it was possible to knock those guys unconscious), and I think I only killed about 6 people or so (Manderley included because I just love to pay him back).
We did a similar challenge where we were not allowed to use more than 10 multitools in the whole game. Was fun definitely.
According to Warren Specter, its possible to complete the game without ever actually killing anyone or pulling out a weapon... its really difficult but possible
In Specter's own words, he was tired of what he called the "Edward Gun-Hands" effect, where the player was limited to solving any and all problems in a game by either 'Find the Key' or 'SHoot it till it goes away'. He set out from the start with Deus Ex, to fix that and he succeeded, certainly in my mind, when I realised there was so much to this game, like the first time I discovered that you could save Paul from the raid on the appartment and he could survive the game
First time I played, I'd just graduated from Doom and the whole idea of sneaking was a totally new concept to me. I only new first person games as interactive shooting galleries and the very idea of subtlety and interation with charicters in ways other than blasting them, was so utterly new to me back then
what?! so you're telling me the game was developed such that saving paul mattered? (meaning not glitched. glitched being even though you saved paul the story went on to assume him dead)
Yep. Why do you think that in the canon he survived? Cloning? The key is to NOT jump out the window, instead you go down fighting with him (oh, and you get to kill Anna Navarre in a whole new way)
I'm trying that run at the moment... sort of... I only use a crossbow - tranq bolts - a prod charger, and EMP/ SCRM grenades... of course with lockpicks and Multitools on the side... it makes the game seriously fun :P
@benkai343434 One time, the asshole you have to fight at the bottom of the missile silo (I can't remember his name) killed himself for me. I didn't even get to pull Justine (My custom upgraded pistol), as soon as he finished ranting about how there was no way I could stop him, he pulls out a LAM and throws it at me. It bounced off the side of the crane he was standing on and blew him into chunks. I laughed... a lot...
@Orumon27 I still liked IW, but yeah, it could've been a lot more intense . . . a lot. it also felt way too short. I think that's the problem with a lot of games anymore, they don't make them to last for a long time and the storylines are basic at best.
@1337Tazer It's pretty good game, but it honestly feels more like a reboot, no matter how much the stories are tied. Which is only natural I guess, considering the age difference. Not as good mission design in HR, imho, but the art is much better than the sillyness of the original.
Jump! You can make it!

Try and complete the game without killing anyone except Anna Navarre and without cheating. ;-) That'll give you a good challenge.

or better yet, try not to kill her.
it requires grenade jumping or something, i don't know.

Those are on Realistic difficulty of course.

It is actually possible to knock out commandos, but it is not easy. You need to use the riot prod on them right where the "shirt" meets the "pants".

You can use the prod on the commandoes. Only 1 is needed if you position it correctly; the lower back.
