It was not a moment of The Sudden Switch, but a key event in the change. And indeed it was going to continue to play out as I returned to UNATCO with a new perspective, started to see some truth to Paul’s claims, and begun my transition. In fact, it’s just Paul mumbling something about how the UN are in the pocket of a corporation, and that I should get on the plane.īecause, of course, the true revelation had already been playing out in the conversations I’d heard, documents I’d seen, and concerns I’d witnessed. In my memory it was Paul making this heartfelt speech about the horror of UNATCO, of the truth of the Grey Death, how the NSF were the unequivocal good guys. I knew it happened in the aircraft hanger, and I knew it involved getting on the plane, but I’d rewritten it into a much more dramatic moment of apocalyptic revelation. It’s that point where, as you’d been beginning to suspect, your brother Paul is working with the NSF. Above the ending, above big decisions made in Hong Kong, above “what a shame”. I know the truth.Īnyone who’s played Deus Ex is likely to remember one moment above all others.

I’m not quite sure how to stop myself from doing it.īut this is my lot, it seems. And indeed wasting an awful lot of non-lethal ammo in painstakingly exploring every route. And by doing so, I end up spoofing the game into thinking I’m doing all things from all angles. So I’d rather see if a path through an underwater passage, or a way in via the roofs, might be preferable. Were there time constraints, then yes, it would be daft. It’s not an entirely illogical way to play. So rather than spotting an open window, and thinking, “Oh yeah, that tramp mentioned this window, this’ll get me in,” instead I go through the window, monitor how far it will get me, then backtrack to see what other options I have. Because I’m always paralysed by the thought that I might be missing out on something better. My problem is that I have a much more meticulous approach to multi-path gaming.
I wonder whether what I should be doing, here and indeed in all games, is picking a direction and then going with it. But of course a lump of the blame sits with me – I’m not convinced I’m playing it “right”.
It’s using event triggers and approaches to measure my kill count – not whether I’m, you know, actually killing anyone. Clever old Deus Ex isn’t being very clever here. But because I keep experimenting, trying every path and then picking the one I prefer, I’m triggering events that the game conflates with my killing people. So if I’d only used secret tunnels and back entrances, I’d be credited with being a pacifist. It turns out, according to commenters on the previous article, that it was about how I handled the missions, not whether I killed. Every body I’ve left behind has just been nicely sleeping. I haven’t! None of that happened! I had a go with the pistol to remind myself of how clumsy the shooting is in the game, but then reloaded so they were all back alive again. Anna’s recommended to Manderley that I be tasked with becoming an assassin, as I left Battery Park “like a graveyard”. I didn’t! I haven’t killed a single person! But grumpy old UNATCO ammo man gave me lectures about people’s rights, and JC was boasting to him about how exciting it was to kill so many people. It seems DX is convinced I did a bunch of shooting. It's accusing me of crimes I didn't commit, an in turn, I start committing some crimes.
As my re-exploration of Deus Ex continues, I find my memories clashing with the reality of the game, as I try to establish if it's still the Best Game Ever™.
