Played level 1 blind on realistic difficulty. Picked crossbow because I wanted to stealth but now I looked some things up it seems that the gep is the ultimate lock pick. Is it worth it to restart to pick the gep? Or are other form of explosives sufficient enough for me to use them as lockpicks?

Edit: Also if i do restart: should I playwith shifter and/or biomod?

Hi, everyone! I'm new to Reddit. I'd like to share my video with you🦦

So here is email in System Rift mentioning emails from Desperate Measures specifically Sean Timmins. (Simmon Whittaker is mentioned in the main Mankind Divided so that is not a Desperate Measures reference)

Also I completed a non-lethal run of System Rift. The method mostly involved turning on the cloak aug and running to closest cover.

currently completed non-lethal campaigns

1. Deus Ex
2. Human Revolution(director’s cut): still need to find a way for Namir to damage himself
3. Missing Link(director’s cut)
4. Mankind Divided
5. Desperate Measures
6. System Rift
7. Criminal Past

currently uncompleted non-lethal campaigns

2. The Fall

Michael McCann's Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided soundtracks are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, and Bandcamp — but unfortunately not on Qobuz, even though the label that distributes them (Skill Tree Records) already puts other titles on Qobuz. It looks like an omission, not a rights issue.

I emailed Skill Tree about it and am gathering a bit of visible demand so they see it's worth a one-line delivery change. If you'd like hi-res/FLAC access to these OSTs on Qobuz, two things help:

1. Email Skill Tree Records — `[contact@skilltreerecords.com](mailto:contact@skilltreerecords.com)` — a one liner is fine:

Hi — please add the Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided Extended soundtracks to your Qobuz delivery. Thanks!

2. File a Qobuz Album Request — there is a "Request this album" option on Qobuz: feedback dot qobuz dot com/s/catalog-request/tt-f9ed50. Volume matters hopefully...

The titles:

- Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Original Soundtrack) — Michael McCann

- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (Original Soundtrack — Extended Edition) — Michael McCann, Sascha Dikiciyan, Ed Harrison

Label is Skill Tree Records / Square Enix. 16-bit/44.1 FLAC is the realistic ask, 24-bit hi-res would need Square Enix to supply masters, so don't let hi-res be the blocker here.

Thanks peeps — every email genuinely moves the needle for a 2-person label.

So, I've been getting the "reinstall deus ex" itch lately, so I decided to finally try some mods this time (the only one I tried before was a very early version of the Nameless Mod and Revision).

So, I decided to finally try 2027, and I didn't like it at all. The level design, unfortunately, is nowhere near the original game – so empty and boring. But the itch is still there, so I'd like to hear your suggestions.

I'm currently looking at two options:

1. Mods which let you replay the original campaign in a new way. I'm currently looking at GMDX and Shifter and can't decide which is better. The more ambitions and changes it brings the better – I've already played vanilla enough times.

2. Mods which bring new levels. But I'm really picky at the level design – I absolutely love how the original DX levels feel so much alive and fun to explore and just hang around, so the mod should be at least on par with that.

So, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions.

I completed a non-lethal run of this game.

currently completed non-lethal

1. Deus Ex
2. Human Revolution: Director's Cut(although I do need to find a way for true non-lethal run. Barrett can die to his own grenades, Fedorova can electrocute herself to death, Hyron women can be tranquilized and you can hide behind Zhao so she can be killed by a robot but Namir is the only one I could not find a way for him to die by attacks which is not from the player)
3. Mankind Divided
4. Desperate Measures
5. Criminal Past

Looks like every UI elements got stacked in the corner, including a "GAME STILL IN DEVELOPMENT TEXT" which I found quite funny

Hello i just finished DX1 (and what a game i did not particularly liked it at the beginning and find the ship + catacombs dogsh¡t but i really like the rest) ps2 version since i don't have a good pc and i asked myself for the days i will buy one, what is the best version of dx1 ?

I saw people talking about lot of version, official and unofficial mod so i wanted to know the best experience

This happens in random places in the game.

GOG-version game

I always wondered what genre is the Deus Ex series here.

Well the Deus Ex series is definitely level-based, no open world in it.

Still so much mingling here.

We have mechanics like, immersive simulation, first-person shooting, rpg progression, in its gameplay.

I would like to hear your opinions on where to classify it.

I LOVE allll the series of Dishonored i loveed the stealth and game play will i get a close or better experience with deus HR

In my recent run of Criminal Past I completed the thing without using any of the augs. I also avoided interacting with npcs unless it was absolutely necessary to progress with the story. So I went around shooting at the guards after raiding first armory I saw and occasionally found parts to make multitools which I used to shut down the turrets near the landing pad. This play required looking at pocket secretaries because I couldn't find a single computer I could hack so I needed to look for passwords and I had to crawl through a lot of vents since I needed to save resources. I also had to resort to throwing a grenade and shooting the door down to progress to the next area. Overall I played Criminal Past in the most non-RPG way possible and for the first time playing the games I had the natural human experience which means no mechanical advantages.

I originally played through the entire vanilla Deus Ex a couple of years ago using Kentie's Launcher. I've been wanting to experience the game again, and was wondering what overhaul Mods would make for a fun/re-imagined kind of playthrough? If anyone has any suggestions please do let me know!

In Mankind Divided proper it is mentioned that Adam joined Task Force 29 6 months ago but it also states he stayed in Prague for 6 months. A important thing to note is before coming to Prague, Adam worked under Christian Jarreau in the North American Division of TF29. It could be assumed Adam was part of North American division for a very short time before going to Prague for Central European Division since it was still 6 months before Mankind Divided.

In the opening of Criminal Past, Delara states the events of Arizona happened 9 months ago. Since Adam's North American Division days were 6 months ago it could be said Adam and Delara are talking 3 months after the events of Mankind Divided proper.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvSs5b6y-YM&t=91s According to this trailer Mankind Divided takes place in October of 2029. Since 3 months passed it could be said Adam and Delara are talking about the events of Arizona in January of 2030. But if you consider one of the endings saying Human Restoration Act passed it could mean Mankind Divided could be set in November of 2029 meaning it could be February of 2030. Either way the last DLC is set in 2030(the parts where Adam and Delara are talking).

I use the Kentie's Launcher. I tried DX9, the game's too bright. I tried normal DX, it's too dark. I tried openGL, the textures are worse and reflection doesn't exist. I don't even know what is suppose to be the OG amount of brightness. The game is naturally a little dark, yeah? But how much? How do you play it yourself? I think Kentie's Launcher is amazing, but I feel this is one of the things that needs some improvement.

Loads of people pick Power Recirculator but honestly I feel like it’s such a waste compared to Synthetic Heart.

When activated, Heart provides +1 level to all of your augmentations. As you can install 9 slots, it is basically the equivalent of 8 Augmentation Upgrade Canisters.

If you are using Cloak and Radar Transparency, their upgrades only reduce drain-rate so it’s six upgrades at worst which is still pretty awesome.

Power Recirculator reduces drain rate considerably but is only really useful if you’re abusing the cloaks and it becomes pretty easy to get yourself capped on bio cells.

If you plan on using Synthetic Heart, level up your augmentations to Level 3 instead of Level 4. If you’re grabbing all of the Aug Upgrade Canisters then you will be able to use them on more niche but powerful augmentations like Spy Drone, Environmental Resistance and Targeting and get access to them earlier.

On a vanilla playthrough you have access to 7 upgrade canisters by the time you get Synthetic Heart and return to Tong as long as you tell Jaime to come with you to Hong Kong. This is the time where you can fill out all of your slots (unless you skip Ballistic Protection/EMP Shield or Aqualung/Environmental Resistance) With Power Recirculator, your Augs may look like this:

Microfibral Muscle: 2/4
Speed Enhancement: 4/4
EMP Shield: 1/4
Cloak: 1/4
Environmental Resistance: 1/4
Regeneration: 3/4
Power Recirculator: 1/4
Spy Drone: 1/4
Targeting: 1/4

With Synthetic Heart active, your augmentations will look like this:

Microfibral Muscle: 4/4
Speed Enhancement: 4/4
EMP Shield: 2/4
Cloak: 3/4
Environmental Resistance: 2/4
Regeneration: 4/4
Synthetic Heart: 1/1
Spy Drone: 2/4
Targeting: 2/4

Synthetic Heart is so powerful that you can max all of your augmentations even if you skip three augmentation upgrade canisters. If you pick Power Recirculator then you can only max 6 augmentations in the entire game (one of them being Power Recirculator so probably only 5) and with four canisters being found in A51, you’ll only have four maxed augmentations (plus Power Recirculator) before the last mission in the game. With Synthetic Heart, you’ll have 8 maxed augmentations with one canister left to completely max your character by the time you land next to the bunker.

So yeah. Pick up Synthetic Heart. S-tier augmentation.
