Let's play Deus Ex. Government sponsored petty theft conspiracy!

[chiasaur11]

Welcome to your America.

Jumping at shadows. Bowing to anyone flashing a government badge. Selling your souls for a little security.

And you call us the traitors!

Those few of us who remain true patriots in the spirits of the founding fathers have suffered much these past few years.

Called traitors for being loyal. Called terrorists for fighting the terror of the megastates. Called murderers.

I ask you, can you kill men without souls? If not, we have done nothing worthy of scorn.

We of the NSF will bring this nation back to greatness, even if it leaves our hands red with blood.



So, votes came in, and I'm starting on LPing Deus Ex soon. Decided to open with a little screed from the antagonists, the NSF terrorist group.

The best chance the counterterrorism unit UNATCO has? A cyborg superagent code name JC Denton.

But first, they'll need a JC Denton to do it with. Madman, stone cold sniper, self sacrificing hero, explosives specialist?

You guys decide. Vote on stats, major decisions, all that. Spoiler any major plot point mentions, if applicable.

So, yeah. Going to start soonish. Want some input before then.

[Gralamin]

Madman and Explosive expert, of course.

[ReluctantReaper]

Yes I agree nothing like giant explosions

[Flickerdart]

Explosives and stealth spec. Plant bombs under everything and beat it before they go kaboom.

[Sanzh]

Stealth and explosives. No lockpicks either, only the GEP gun.

[chiasaur11]

No lockpicks either, only the GEP gun.

Bit of an oxymoron there.

[Lifeson]

Melee and Healing.

Because a regenerating monster running around going medieval on everyone is incredibly badass.

In case that doesn't work, tries-to-be-nice-but-something-goes-wrong-and-it-goes-down-with-a-shotgun. :D

[king.com]

Taser happy. To the EXTREEEEEME. With enough poison grenades to sinka battleship, or atleast knock its crew unconscious. Actually, scratch that, either the taser or aoe weapons only

Also, a note that Deus Ex + chiasaur is a recipe for awesome.

[Inhuman Bot]

A Deus Ex. LP? Awesome. I never got to play this.



Crystalleft: Your sig looks like it's too big, by the way.

Ninja Conspiracy theorist. Who kills people by dropping things on them.

A stealthy stone cold backstabing hunter. (gotta use that prod and this arbalet)

Also, if you're doing deus ex

You should try doing thing people usualy dodn't do at their first play, like killing Anna Navare in the plane or not killing her at all (I've readed it's possible somewhere and i wonder how.)

[Jahkaivah]

Stick With The Prod

[Comet]

Anything that's not sneaky.
Because crawling around the floor while wearing a trenchcoat gets sillier and sillier the more you think about it.

It is possible somehow... it just involves ridiculous things like grenade jumping, and standing on the exact right pixle. I never managed it.

And if The Prod runs out

Baton all the way. Melee only. Final Destination.

A Non Lethal Takedown Is Always The Most Silent Takedown

It's not that hard. You just need to hurt one of the troops in UNATCO HQ badly enough that he starts running, and then stack objects in the correct places so he's forced to run into and unlock the base door for you. They might not drop any keys, but they're quite capable of opening it. Somehow.

PROD FOR THE PROD GOD!

I don't understand why you'd want that, though. Loudest, most obnoxious takedown possible!

Knock her out with the stun-gun, I think.

The MIB agents also self-destruct upon death, but only if you don't knock them out.

She's also laughably easy to kill if you set her on fire.

[Vorpalbob]

Use the laughably fail AI* to your advantage, and kill as few mooks as possible. Use flares and flare darts to lure them away from their guard posts, and if you must kill them, go OVER-THE-TOP WITH EXPLOSIVES then dissapear. They will FEAR the BOMB-NINJA!

*I swear, I spent five minutes walking RIGHT BEHIND an MJ12 trooper. I waited until he crossed paths with one of his buddies, who spotted me, and then put a knife through his skull. Then I ran back into the shadows. Buddy resumed his patrol .

Are there actual stats that must be tweaked at the beginning of this game?

[chiasaur11]

Are there actual stats that must be tweaked at the beginning of this game?

Yup.

Skills with weapons and the like.

Lessee.

There's:

Hacking
Environmental suits
Lockpick
Electronics
Melee weapons
Pistols
Rifles
Explosives
Heavy Weapons
Swimming
Medicine
and...
Computers

[KBF]

Are there actual stats that must be tweaked at the beginning of this game?

Yep. You get some points and you choose what skills you're incredible at, what ones you're godlike at or, if you run out and can't spend any more points, you're just great at.

I have to finish Deus Ex before you start this don't I. Damnit. Freaking spoilers. Any spoiler free advice? I've already blown the nonlethal cop thing, but the taser is still so much fun.

[trmptfnfr]

Focus on swimming.

Do it!

How far in are you?

Some tips only apply to later on stuff.

Do not blasphemy. Amazon has it for 7 bucks (steam may be cheeper, but mods are fussy with the steam version). Buy it now!

Dunno. The Nameless Mod seems to work fine with Ste...

Okay... maybe I have an idea for another LP... >_>

[LurkerInPlayground]

Do it!

Yeah, but there are only like two or three places in the game where swimming actually comes in handy.

And then you can just combo Aqualung and rebreathers to achieve much the same thing. Hell, you can dispense with that and just use a really high level Regeneration and rebreather.

That's the point.

You're relying on something completely useless to accomplish as much as possible.
