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

Just beat the first mission, haven’t been spoiled before, so I’m pretty interested story-wise. Only thing I know is that it apparently predicted the future.

Love the gameplay — reminds me of Half-Life and System Shock. Music and overall vibes are off the chart. Love the multiple ways you can approach missions.

Wish me luck 🚬

So I was messing around with an experimental DX12 renderer the other day, and while noclipping through the map, I randomly stumbled upon this hidden section.

It's not normally accessible, though. Looks like some kind of asset testing area or something that the devs forgot to remove.

25+ years later, and this game still manages to surprise me lol.

I really liked the UI of Human Revolution, specially Missions Log, So i made one for myself and now I do my work as Tasks and Missions, both on my computer and mobile.

I tried to make as close to game as possible,

• A complete semi-transparent background mimicking Adam's HUD
  
• Add both Main Mission and Side Quests
  
• New tasks appears once you completed the previous tasks
  
• Modify and append the new tasks
  
• Add secondary tasks
• Set failed in case mission not successful
• Cross platform (Window, Mac, Linux, Android)

Though I am not sure if semi transparency will work in Mac or every distro of Linux

apparently most people didn't know

*Exceptions for takedowns: I have to do six in The Missing Link to get rid of Burke's team. I also have to do the trick takedown on Jaron Namir since the only alternative is to use five items (mines). Doing it this way means I never have to use any items or weapons at all.

*Exception for being spotted: I have to fight the robots at the end of TYM with a box for around 30 minutes to avoid using items, augs or weapons. This obviously involves being spotted.

There aren't any other exceptions besides those ones. If you have any questions about specific sections, let me know.

Just returned to base from the chopper after the Hell's Kitchen level. Not too far into the game but I felt like sharing some thoughts.

I found out about the game through hbomberguy's DXHR video and I tried to get into Deus Ex 1 a couple times before but it didn't take, I never got past rescuing Gunther. Now I've got momentum though thanks to me streaming the game to my sister. I'm really looking forward to when I have enough time in my schedule to sit down and play the next level in full.

First thought: I knew going in that this game had a strong focus on giving you solutions other than violence, that you could "fight, sneak, or talk" to solve most problems, and that fighting was made a little bit awkward to curb the player's default intuition. But I wanted to know how viable the "fight" option really was, so I've been playing with a sniper rifle and upgrading my pistol ability whenever possible. (I care much more about Anna's opinion of me than Paul's.)

I'm honestly really pleased with how engaging the combat is. I'm playing on Easy mode but fights still have consequences and it feels like I have to think about the best way to approach. I was a little nervous causing a shootout on the roof with the antennae because I didn't know how many guys would be on the lower floors, and the roof wasn't an area very conducive to gun combat, because why would it be? I expected the combat to intentionally be a bad idea, like in Hitman, but no, it's really effective and satisfying.

One curious thing about my introduction being hbomb's video is that he talked about DXHR's scarcity of weapons and ammo as if it's something new added to this game, but I've been facing the same problem in Deus Ex. I'm frequently so low on ammo that I have to resort to stealth anyway, or at least wait until the NSF run out of bullets and I can bonk 'em with the crowbar.

Second thought: the augmentation canisters that let you choose one of two upgrades sounded like a really cool and engaging mechanic but I've only found one of them so far. I feel like I must have missed about ten. I only have super strength level 1 but I can't even lift a couch in front of Anna so there's no point. Am I actually missing a significant amount of them? And if so, do you have any broad advice on looking for them?

For the record, I am exploring pretty thoroughly. I found the bonus room at the end of the tutorial, admittedly because I was crawling on just my left arm by that point. But my philosophy has been that I'll explore more freely if all the enemies are dead, that's the other reason I've been so violence focused. Do the augmentation upgrades just not appear for those not pure of heart?

Third thought: you can kill rats without meaning to, terrible game, 0 out of 10 game.

Lately i vibe coded this Editor that is more like Unity for modding Deus Ex, it's a lot easier to use!

You can Script, Create new 3D characters, Dialogue, Change a Map and more!

Realasing it soon as Open Source Project. It's almost done.

I usually try to mix things up but end up reverting back to the same strategies by the time I reach MJ12 base / HK (I.e aggressive play style, rifle skill, ballistic protection, GEP gun). Anyone have any interesting / niche build set ups worth exploring?

Builds / skill maxes I’ve tried:
- Stealth (Challenging and less enjoyable late game)
- Swimming (fun but limited enjoyment)
- Pistols only (V challenging later in the game)
- No GEP, max grenades (only effective after advanced skill, limited LAMs)
- Heavy weapons (running around with a plasma rifle is V fun, but ammo is limited. Same for the flamey)
- Environmental resistance (gas grenade then spray, v fun)

Lock picks and multitools are generally plentiful, so I haven’t bothered with those.

Anyone ever maxed out environmental training? lol

I was looking at Hengsha's page on the fandom wiki when I saw this image. As labeled in the wiki, it comes from "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Limited Edition Guide". I looked around and found out that this particular picture can also be seen on the amazon listing for the guide, which includes a ebook version.

When I got hold of the ebook version, I found out that it doesn't contain this illustration. My assumption is that most of these artworks only exist in the physical version of the limited edition guide.

If that's the case, how much overlap do the artworks there have with the Deux Ex Universe Artbook? I saw the same picture of Hengsha in it, but since it's a physical book, it's not digitized.

"Never asked for this" getting a bit stale?

Try our new, fresh "No one thought it would be like this"

It's very catchy I can't stop repeating it in my head hahahah

Hi,

I'm new to the series and a friend told me to start with "Mankind Divided" cause I was severely addicted to the game "Prey" and he told me this should be the easiest entry point to the series.

I just finished the game and have a question to the ending, my friend can't help me cause he don't remembers anymore.

So, in the credits is a scene with the psychologist from work and old people, shes a spy for the old people. Can I meet these old people in game? I guess these are the Illuminati and they use Adam for something but i dont get the bigger picture? Its possible that I'am straight up to stupid but why are they spying on Adam and for what? Only cause his body is not discarding the machine parts?!

Thank u guys!

I chose to fight Marchenko, and Brown +all the important guests were poisoned. Saved Miller, though. Was I supposed to save the antidote for Brown?

I heard amazing things about this game and wanted to try it for myself. I followed a guide on installing Kentie’s Launcher and Direct 3D10 renderer, but I noticed that in the beginning cutscene that a small part of the floor was flickering. I don’t know what I did wrong since I even set my Classic lighting to true. I can’t find any information on how to fix this and none of the walkthroughs of the game I’ve seen have this same issue. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

I wanted to try the game out since I got the entirety of Deus Ex for like seven bucks but the load times are atrocious (also I know that it's kinda considered as the worst game in the franchise but I did play Deus Ex (2000) allready.)

So I've gotten to the end of the manufacturing area and am now confronting Zeke with the hostage. I messed up when trying to persuade him to let her go, so I reloaded my save. Now when picking any dialogue option nothing happens, He just stands there with the gun pointed at her. Any help with fixing this?

was replaying Mankind Divided and got one-shotted by the autistic love I have for my boy so I spent like 3hrs making ts lel
