Does Deus Ex hold up?

were all mainly that it was original for it's time.

You mean that Deus Ex isn't original by modern standards? Please point me in the direction of all the awesome open-ended exploration-based shooter/RPG hybrids that you're apparently playing.

And might I add "sub- par gameplay" and "claiming I did one thing when I did another." I would argue that the gameplay is not sub- par if you gave any indication of what you think was wrong with the mechanics. I would like to hear your problems with the plot, characters, or anything else you feel was wrong?

Well, there are a few things that are kinda screwed. For one, in Castle Clinton near the beginning of the game, if you don't KO every single person inside yourself and let Anna Navarre kill them, the game thinks you took part in the killing and dialogue will shift accordingly.

Also, whether your brother lives or dies depends entirely on which entrance you leave the hotel through. If through the window, he dies. If you run past all the enemies and make it to the door before getting killed, he lives. Doesn't matter how many enemies you do/don't defeat. I still think the game's great despite that.

EDIT: The reason the game takes place entirely at night is that the stealth system is shadow-based, and daylight would kind of screw that up.
