Line 1: |
| - Upgrade Computing to at least "Trained" when starting a new game. You can now hack any and all computer terminals, making the game ten times easier.
| | (Note that the advice here is specifically for the original and unmodded game) |
|
| |
|
| - Focus on Computing, Electronics, Lockpicking and Pistol at the beginning of the game; you should be able to bypass pretty much anything in the first couple of levels with very little fuss. You can then branch out into the other weapon skills based on which weapons you're using.
| | * Deus Ex is a massive game that rewards exploration in many different ways. It's always worth searching areas thoroughly and talking to everyone you encounter for useful pickups, side quests and interesting story bits. Even then, every playthrough is likely to reveal something new. |
|
| |
|
| - Avoid swimming, environmental training and medicine on your first go. Your skill points are best spent elsewhere.
| | * The first section of the game is what turns a lot of people off to it, but once you get past the beginning things quickly get a lot better as the game opens up and you get a lot of cool augmentations to play with. |
|
| |
|
| - When Paul offers you a choice of weapon at the beginning, take the GEP Gun. The other two weapons can be found elsewhere in the level and you won't get another GEP gun for a long time (and it's a lot more useful than you might think).
| | * Upgrade Computing to at least "Trained" when starting a new game. You can now hack any and all computer terminals, making the game ten times easier. |
|

|
| - Throw all of your accuracy mods into your sniper rifle. It pays off big time.

|
| |
|
| - Deus Ex doesn't really tolerate the run-and-gun approach early on; try to be more methodical and exacting when starting out. Use your riot prod on individuals and sneak around groups of enemies.
| | * Avoid Swimming and Environmental Training on your first go as they're of limited usefulness. |
|
| |
|
| - Once you get past the first level or two, and you actually get some cool augmentations to use, the game becomes a lot more fun. Ballistic Protection + Regeneration + Combat Strength = Awesome | | * Utility skills are front-loaded, gun skills are end-loaded. For example, bumping Medicine up to Trained makes every medkit heal an additional 30 hit points whereas further skills bumps only increase the healing by 15 points each despite costing much more. Meanwhile training Rifles (for example) to Master gives you as much of a benefit as the previous Trained and Advanced bonuses combined, not to mention misc bonuses like perfect accuracy on all rifles and being able to snipe cameras. |

|
| - The first section of the game is what turns a lot of people off to it. Many learn to like it in time, but just know that this game gets exponentially better as you move along.
| | * When Paul offers you a choice of weapon at the beginning, it's recommended to take the GEP Gun as the other two weapons can be found elsewhere in the level and you won't get another GEP gun for a long time. It's useful even outside of combat as it can easily bust through breakable doors. |
|
| |
|
| - Always explore. I've played this game many times, and, like a good book, each playthrough I find something new (I didn't see Morpheus until my third-or-so playthrough, easily my favorite dialogue of any game ever)
| | * Deus Ex doesn't really tolerate the run-and-gun approach early on; try to be more methodical when starting out. Use your Riot Prod on individuals and sneak around groups of enemies. |
|
| |
|
| - Find a Baton, and become very good at aiming it. Prods are only so-available and you WILL need them, as is with tranqs. | | * When going for close-range non-lethal takedowns with the Baton or the Riot Prod, never aim for the head as it'll halve their damage. The Riot Prod is always the better option of the two but if you have to use the low-damage Baton, pepper spraying the enemy first with a Pepper gun is recommended as this'll briefly stun them which quadruples all damage they take. |
|
| |
|
| - Keep the GEP gun at all times. It's great for picking a few locks in a second.
| | * You can exploit enemy AI by closing doors in front of them. Generally, only panicked civilians can open doors. |
|
| |
|
| - Many, many guards are stupid. You can exploit the AI by closing doors in front of them. Generally, only civs in a panic can open doors.
| | * The silenced pistol is your best friend and perfect for a stealthy approach, especially with accuracy mods or a laser sight. |
|
| |
|
| - The silenced pistol is your best friend. Laser sight and accuracy mods pays off well and is perfect for a stealthy approach.
| | * Equipping a laser sight on a gun will immediately set it to 100% accuracy and thus every shot will hit the dot exactly, making all other accuracy bonuses redundant. Having a scope will break this functionality, though. |
| | |
| - Every playthrough is a new one.
| |
| | |
| - Deus Ex is a massive game, speaking of content. As said before, I urge you to explore. Though most of exploring requires either explosives to blow open doors or lockpicks/computing for opening, the best exploration goes for dialogue. The dialogue open for side quests which is very rewarding and actually fun.
| |
| | |
| - You will reinstall it many times.
| |
| | |
| - If you don't blow apart every door you can with the Dragon Tooth Sword when you get it, you're playing the game wrong.
| |
| | |
| - If you're playing stealthy, then the pepper spray is more useful than you think.
| |
| | |
| - Don't uninstall.
| |
| | |
| - Once you put a laser on a gun the bullets will always hit the dot (unless you put on a scope, too, that fucks it up) so you don't need to also use accuracy mods.
