Deus Ex 3. I shit you not.

[Quinton]

Pretty minor, but just in case...

[Miasma]

She should have got my mirror fixed...

She was the first person I did a take down on.  If you hack her computer there is even an email saying that they have my mirror and have been asking her to come and get it for weeks!

My amusing little eggs, other than the ones already posted:

There are others but I can't remember them all.

[Miasma]

Alright if you haven't had some really good fun in video games for a while take increased strength and turret hacking.  Then carry the hacked turret around with you and plop it down in front of whatever you wish to die.

Other than the boss fights/cutscenes this game as quickly becoming my all time favourite, replacing, Deus Ex.

Small easter eggs I've found within the first 2 hours of playing


First Quest Spoiler:

[Lantyssa]

Late in the second hub:

[Yoru]

Ending spoiler:


 

[Tale]

Also, about the first boss,

[Talpidae]

Well, this is all rather fucking cool as utter fuck.

 

[TripleDES]

While nearing the end of the game (apparently, according to what I've been told), all the sneaking around is starting to aggravate me. Going Rambo is rarely an option, due to ammo scarcity. 

[Threash]

I'm with you, i loved sneaking around at first but combat just gets better and better.  I have transcended bullets, i fight with refrigerators.

[yoh]

The energy system is starting to piss me off in some major way. 10 hours playtime and I guess I played 15 minutes with more than one battery charged.

[calapine]

Spoiler for the first 20 minutes:

[Yoru]

The energy system is starting to piss me off in some major way. 10 hours playtime and I guess I played 15 minutes with more than one battery charged.

The only time I had more than 1 battery was when I didn't feel like waiting and munched on Snickers to cloak my way past some patrolling baddies. That and in the final setpiece battle, because fuck waiting for recharge when I'm carrying the annual output of Cadbury's in my backpack.

My biggest grief: No target reticule and no iron sights. How the fuck do you aim in this game if half of the stuff there is can't even be used for cover? (Seriously try to get into cover and half of the time it doesn't work)

I'm also not really cut out for stealth. Triggers my OCD when I get noticed.

Um? Iron sight is, by default, the middle mouse button. The target reticule is off by default but can be turned on in, if I recall right, the gameplay options.

[calapine]

Hmm, have you tried Middle Mouse Button for ironsights?
Additionaly (some/all?) weapons can be fitted a laser-dot extension (Similiar to the one used in the intro/tutorial).

I can relate to the stealth issue though..save/reload/save/reload sigh.

[caladein]

Yeah, but you can't iron sight/scope from cover which kind of sucks.

[Jeff Kelly]

If you care to explain where the middle mouse button is on my XBOX Controller I'd be glad ;-)

I looked it up in the manual. It's "press right stick", doesn't come up in the tutorial though. (Which brings me to my next pet peeve about the awkwardness of using the analogue sticks as additional buttons)

[Khaldun]

I'm sorry, but the PC version of this is glitchy as all fuck. Motherly Ties and Cloak & Daggers are both glitched for me, and it turns out they're reasonably common glitches. (If they've been discussed earlier here, my apologies: trying to avoid spoilers.) I'm loving the basic core of the game but I'm not loving the call-back to "we tried to make an open-world game but forgot to playtest it".

[Lantyssa]

Yeah, but you can't iron sight/scope from cover which kind of sucks.

Lean out of cover then use your sights.  It's actually realistic, if a bit annoying.

I want a mod that lets the full battery recharge.  I'm okay if additional cells are slower.  I also want stealth leg enhancements to be passive.  Those are the only two (minor) gripes I have with the game.

Beat the game.  Damn it's incredible.

[Miasma]

Leaning out from cover to shoot is okay, at least if you have laser sights or the enemy is close.  The main thing that annoyed me is the boss fights when I am forced to turn from a sneaky invisible guy to an absolute retard who lets bosses actually freaking lay their hands on me and even get behind me...

The batteries not recharging past the first is also, as mentioned, absurd.  What good are all those praxis energy regen upgrades if they only affect the first?

[Threash]

Those regen upgrades should have let you regen more bubbles rather than speeding up the first one.  Someone needs to mod that in.

[Thrawn]

So broke down and bought it today, too many people praising it not to.  Very impressed so far, was so worried it would just be "Generic FPS #123".  Then I find out, it has good Eyefinity support!

Yes!

Apart from the crazy load times which they fixed in that patch, I've found the PC version to be stable and without any major problems.  I've had maybe one or two crashes while loading a large new level in ~30 hours of gameplay, and no issues of side quests not working or the like.

Thrawn, what kind of insane display setup do you have that gives you a screenshot like that?

[Quinton]

Okay, for the first time, rather late in the game, I actually went back and explored another option to do something and I'm really impressed at how two very different approaches to something advanced the story to the same point but with some side-effects (I suspect).  Spoilers for the convention center follow:

[Lantyssa]

The 'same' conversation can be different, too.  Both in response, flow, and route, even if you end up with the same result.

[Threash]

Yup, there are no predetermined outcomes for conversations, everything seems to be a roll.

[apocrypha]

Eyefinity is multiple monitor support, that looks like 3 monitors. I am envious.

Interesting!  Having only once reloaded from save to try a conversation a second time I hadn't realized just how flexible the system was.  I also haven't purchased the influence augment, just relying on Adam's endearing charm in conversations ^^

I didn't have any probs with those quests, but "Thalion A.D." glitched out for me pretty badly:
I had a save from the previous map, but reentering caused the same problem, every time.

Has anyone been able to finish this one?

Yeah, it doesn't update the quest registry nor does it give you back the pocket secretary entry.  Very annoying that.  The quest remains active and can be completed, you must locate them on your own before the quest will update.

The hacking pro tips are much appreciated.  I was going to ignore it as much as I could but now that I'm pro it's more fun than scanning planets plus it lets me break into people's stuff.

It was harder than i thought, so my next aug upgrade was the social enhancer.

I also didn't know conversations could vary, so how does the social enhancer aug work?  Steer the conversation towards an objectively optimal result?  I tried watching a clip of it in action but I don't understand the blinking alpha beta omegas or pheromones.

[Jeff Kelly]

I must say both the graphic design work and the UI design work in this game is excellent. I liked that everything is a roll even conversations.
