Deus Ex was never about the gameplay, just marvel at the design. every choice your given has consequences. your never given a game over for, say, killing all the hostages in the subway station. The story, the characters, and the objectives all work there way around what you do. The amount of choice is also shown a lot in the level design. every level has several entry points and never feel linear. take the first level for example your given the task of arresting a terrorist leader in the statue of liberty but there are several ways you can do this. you can take your brothers advice and go meet the agent at the docks for the code, you can go up the back by way of stacked boxes, you can hack the terminal to gain security access, or you take the gep gun and blow the front doors off and when going through the level you can chose to stealth your way through and kill whoever needs it, you can whip out a rifle and kill everyone in your path or you can knock every enemy unconscious hell you can just run past them because the AI is so shit early on that they will just stand there and say, "Wait I think I saw something, a guy in a coat.". The best part was no matter what you chose to do the game would fit around that like if you killed everyone your brother will call you a jackass at the end of the level and you'll be docked pay, but you will gain respect from Gunther and Anna, not that it means anything. That choice is really what set Deus Ex apart, the freedom to complete the objectives my way failure or not, it doesn't feel like a linear succession of fire fights or stealth missions. sure there have been games that have come close like S.t.a.l.k.e.r. but none of them really compared to it in my opinion...Cowabungaa said:
