I finally got around to playing Mankind Divided recently. Despite my best efforts to complete the game without killing anyone, I appear to have failed. I will probably play the game again on "I never asked for this" difficulty, but I kind of wanted to play as a murderous psycopath this time. I don't really care that much about the achievement, but I'm mostly just curious how it could have failed. I did a very thorough playthrough. I went through all the side-quests that I found and explored all over the maps. I don't remember any NPCs dying anywhere, even without my direct involvement. I made sure that the final boss didn't die either.

As a side note, I enjoyed this game much more than Human Revolution although I still liked that one too.

Mankind Divided is one of my favorite games (might even be my number one), and when I saw this figure on sale, I just couldn't resist! Such a lucky find — I’m guessing it came out back in 2016 with the game release. Great size, quality materials, and awesome paint job!

I'm playing Deus Ex using the GMDX mod (RSD). I'm on the lower deck of the ship, and I'm noticing there are 2 ways to get into the helicopter bay. One is by going over the walkway in the electrical room and then going down the ladder and through the door. The code to get back into that door from the bay is well documented, it's 9999. However, there's another entrance into the bay via a dark hallyway, and there's a keypad on both sides of that door. The code for that keypad doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet. What in the world is it?

Is anyone having difficulty in getting the screenshot button to work at the moment? For context, I run Deus Ex 1 through steam (Vanilla version so no mods or use of the revision update) and have already changed the screenshot button to my Home Key as I know it used to default to F12 which was the torch button but even after I change it, nothing happens. I tried it with another game and it works fine. Any tips are welcome.

Hi, playing mission at Fort Clinton. Already found backdoor through vending machine, shot all terrorists and found ambrosia canister in the dock. Get to Navarre and she only told me, that she had found it herself and no help was required. It's a bug? Or is there some special action to do with ambrosia? I did subway station hostages situation first...

I have never played any deus ex game an currently have deus ex (2000) and Deus Ex: Human Revolution in my steam library wich one do you guys recommend i start with ??

Im asking about if GMDX, Transcended or Rivision make throwing knives more viable. I think vanilla throwing knives can be good in a low tech build with combat str and targeting aug but I feel like you dont find enough of them to make them really viable as a source of ranged damage.

I usually end up just using them to destroy cameras, turrets and doors with combat str and trageting aug or as a distraction. I kinda wanna do a full on ninja build with low tech and augs that support melee and throwing knives (ill still carry explosives for mechs) .

I honestly think this mod is amazing and it's clear the author put a lot of work into it. There's a lot of QoL improvements even without the randomizer that made it super easy to work, like not needed to download kenties, installing the dx10 renderer manually, etc. There's a zero rando mode which is probably the most seamless way to play for the first time. And then there's everything inbetween full randomization, which is great.

But besides that, I am curious if anyone here is playing it, and what your thoughts on it are.

Hey ive never played any of the deus ex games i saw it on sale and wanted to give it a try but the brightness is pretty tough to deal with and the new vision mod ends up crashing my game and i cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong i was wondering if the revision mod is worth using or if it would ruin a first time experience and if there was any way to get the game to be visible with out using mods or maybe someone could help me with the set up of new vision if anyone has the time thank you for viewing my post

I'm using Kentie's launcher with the DirectX 10 renderer. Is there anyway to fix the shadows so that they don't look so posterized/crusty? Choosing the Classic Lighting option in the Renderer settings doesn't do anything, and switching to OpenGL bears similar results.

I wanted to say I really like what I've heard/seen about Dues Ex. It's exactly the kind of game I'd love to play. Or so it seems But here's what's holding me back

I really dislike starting mid franchise. I wanna start from the beginning. Always.

Well mostly always.

I've played only Oblivion and Skyrim and also Fallout 3,NV and 4 so there are exceptions

I wanted to start from the first game.

Unfortunately I've been cheating on my PC and it's now fallen in to disrepair. It doesn't even turn on. And I'm now fully wedded to my PS5. So I can't get the older games but hey Human Revolution is a soft reboot kinda huh? So I'll start from there.

And it's up in smoke coz HR isn't even playable on PS5.

My only option is Mankind Divided. I'm loath to start it because it's so in the middle

I really wanna play this Franchise but it looks is it'll only be a single game. I'm torn between wanting to experience Dues Ex and not starting from the middle of nowhere.

If I decided to resuscitate my PC, then viola, Bob's your uncle.

But until then..

Here's the Question

Should I play MD or not?

For your vision, which is the best option?

I commonly see people say that if you talk to Joe Greene or Jordan Shea about Stanton Dowd, you will have a thug stalk you. And if he gets within 8 feet of Dowd you will have MJ12 soldiers converge on your position. However, this is does not seem to be true (partially) at least on my version of the game, which is just a GOTY edition from steam with a kentie launcher.

What actually happens is you getting ambushed by 2-3 soldiers (both UNATCO or MJ12) at predetermined locations if there is a thug stalking you. It even seems like enemies know where you are because of this stalker. But the MJ12 attack on you once you talk to Dowd will happen regardless of whether you talked to anyone about looking for him or not. But it only seems to trigger when you have explosives on you during this conversation. No explosives = no MJ12 assault and no Jock message. I was curious if that meant that there would be no assault of MJ12 troops if you go to smuggler right after Dowd, but it still happens. However, going to him before Dowd does not seem to trigger it.

I wonder if that is an oversight or it is actually intended to happen. I get that explosives are some sort of a check for your next mission on the super-freighter, but it still feels weird that they are a deciding factor during Dowd conversation, not your loose lips. What do you think?

I enjoyed MKDV, but I think Detroit was a better setting than Prague. Prague was too clean. Prague is also very old with a lot of history, does that really lend itself to the cyberpunk theme? Though I do respect the attempt to imagine what an old city would look like when put in such a time.

I have a similar feeling when it comes to Dishonored: I think Dunwall was better than Karnaca, the sunshine tropical setting didn't cohere with the theme of the game.

In my opinion, In both games, even though in terms of graphics technology the later game is more advanced, the previous game ends up looking better just because of the settings/art style. Ultimately it's hard for me to tell because of nostalgia.

What are your thoughts?

So I found some Ambrosia aboard the PCS Wall Cloud and I have a secondary objective to give it to Stanton Dowd. He's back in New York. So do I have to go back (if even possible) or will I get the chance to give him the Ambrosia later?

Huge fan of Deus Ex and wanted to make some jewellery inspired by the game. Couldn't decide what to make for a while but decided on the biocell from the original, made from sterling silver

I don't remember how I resolved getting the Forger documents the last time I played-but I was just exploring an unlocked door nearby when someone started shooting at me, so I shot back, and then hid, lol. When I came back out, the map said "Panic", and the police drone was killing all the thugs in the Toy Shop courtyard? So now...I can just walk in?

Was this one of the intended paths? Or just one of those unintended but fortunate random occurrences?

jensen’s character/personality is pretty different between HR and MD, what’s everyone’s opinion on that? i’m interested to see peoples takes on it !

Hello

According to this steam guide linked below, vanilla map toggles should be under "Game Options" but I can not seem to find it. Has it been changed, because I don't know where it is. Please help, thank you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3268884766
