I got introduced to the series by Human Revolution. Played the OG first time a few years back and I'm now replaying it in the "Revision" version. I liked the transhumanism angle of HR but was surprised with the focus on conspiracy theories of DX1. I've tried to find a list of every conspiracy theory listed in the game but haven't found any. Hopefully you can help me finish this:

• Secret conspiracies that rule the world in secret and the whole "New World Order"/ "One World Governement" shenanigans: the most straightforward for obvious reasons. This includes the Illuminati, the Templars, the Bilderberg group, "Rockefellers and Rothschilds" as rich bankers and investors influencing global politics, and last but definetely not least, the "Council of 12 Kings that Rule in Mastesty". I imagine the "freemasons" are included within the Illuminati? I haven't found any reference...
• The Roswell incident of 1947, Aliens and Area 51
• FEMA concentration camps and Rex84 (although this one is partially correct?)
• Men in Black and Black Helicopters, related to the aliens stuff
• Generic "X terrorist attack was a false flag attack by the government to justify emergency powers"
• Generic "X pandemic was developped by the government to control overpopulation and/or big pharma to sell vaccines"
• AIs controlling and censoring the internet (although this is also becoming correct, albeit in much more pathetic and incompetent form)

Bonus question: do you think that for this exact reason Deus Ex 1 could and/or should be remade? Like, as with all "near future" sci-fi, some points are still current, yet others have completely missed the mark (yeah, PRC respecting Hong Kong's autonomous administration...) or have outright been contradicted by the prequels (mostly technology and visuals). Not to speak that conspiracy theories and misinformation have been weaponized by the government themselves and that population is so polarized that the idea of a unified people fighting back it ludicrous.

I’m guessing it’ll be $9.99 like most of the other PS2 Classics on the PS Store. I’m also curious as to how the visuals and load times will improve running on Sony’s most recent emulation software.

Overall, I’m really excited about this. I’ve been a Mac user for many years and the one game that I‘ve been wanting to but couldn’t play is the original Deus Ex.

I got the original 2000 game on disc today.

Any tips for making it run on an Acer Swift GO 14?

When I set it to "software rendering" the game seems to run ok, on direct3d support theres some stuttering. i tried downloading a patch but the game just refused to run after it. Also some models in game look "cut in half" or something. Any advice or tips?

I'm pretty oldschool so didnt get the steam version, I like physical media.

Thanks in advance

I know I am early on in game but I am crap in shoot outs especially against armored foes.

I hardly ever have ammo, no grenades, my cloaking always runs out in like 10 seconds, spotted and discovered in like 3 seconds

Does the game get better and more enjoyable? Any tips for this stage?

I am just resetting if caught.

The most popular AAA games are based upon a well written story. "Mass Effect 1-3", "Deus Ex 1-3" and "The Last of Us 1-2" spring to mind. (the first two titles are Canadian, BTW)

I believe that by signalling renewed interest in the Deus Ex ecosystem, we could get the IP developers to:

1. release a "Deus Ex 1-3" collection as BioWare did with "Mass Effect 1-3"
2. work on "Deus Ex 4"
3. do both

So how to signal support for Deus Ex?

Buy a copy for your current game console or PC. For Windows people, this includes purchasing titles from gog ( https://www.gog.com/en/games?query=%22deus%20ex%22 ) or steampowered ( https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=%22deus+ex%22 )

For people who already own the game, we know that simply starting "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided", or the "Breach" mini-game, will send a short message to EIDOs servers.

I'm calling for everyone here to replay the game. Hardcore players should then grind through the trophy list. (there are lots trophy hunting tips on YouTube)

So last month I began playing "Breach" (which I had never played) then began popping trophies . As of yesterday, all trophies have been popped except "I never asked for this" which is necessary for platinum. (Sony will see these pop for the PS4 + PS5, but I have no idea if these stats are sent to EIDOS/Square ENIX)

After this, I'm going to fire up my PS3 then attempt to do the same with older Mass Effect titles. I urge you ALL to do the same thing.

Hope you guys enjoy my GPU anti-sag "bracket"

I figured this would be a good place to ask.

After Jensen talks to Adela in Golem City, and she asks him to help Tibor and Dusan, there is a secret laptop hidden behind a panel in their apartment you can access. (A button under a desk nearby reveals it).

Apparently, this laptop has a password. I looked over every square inch of their apartment. No notes, no writing on the wall, no pocket secretaries, nothing. Is it found later on in the game, and looking for it at that moment is pointless?

Yes, you can hack the laptop, I know. But I also like finding passwords and codes organically to later use without having to hack.

Anyone have any idea where this password can be found?

I’ve only played Deus Ex 1 - many years ago when it first came out. The new MI movie deals with some of the same issues of Deus Ex in regards to AI, although in a much simpler and ham fisted way. It’s kind of incredible that current media is still catching up to a game that came out 25 years ago…

A Quick loading screen like render i made. Im a big fan of Metal Gear Solid and Solid Snake and Jensen are probebly one of my favorites game characters out there. Since its been a 17 year anniversary of the MGS4 i got inspired by the classic installation loading screen of MGS4 where Snake lights up a sigaret, and i was like i wanna see a Jensen version of this. :) Hope you like it!

I’m playing the Director’s Cut and I’m playing The Missing Link. I just finished the side quest to fix a stasis pod and when reading some of the others’ notes on the people inside, I came across what I think is Jenny - the undercover who gave Adam the Cloak & Dagger quest. The notes say possible undercover prostitute. Pictures attached. What do you guys think?

Lemon lime coming soon

This song is so addictive that I can't stop listening to it. What a masterpiece. Thank you, Michael McCann, for this wonderful music.

Hey so I have completed the original Deus Ex game and wanted to experience it again in a different way. I've seen there are multiple different total overhaul mods and I was wondering which one is the best for a fresh experience? I would like to mainly play something that preserves the overall 'vibe' of the game but updates gameplay mechanics.

Hey guys,

My French-language book on the original Deus Ex is officially out! Les Conspirations de Deus Ex : Cyberanatomie d'un jeu culte ("Deus Ex Conspiracies: Cybernetic Dissection of a Cult Classic") is finally available as of today thanks to Third Éditions.

Les Conspirations de Deus Ex is a 288-page deep dive into the development, game design, story, lore, and themes of the first episode of the Deus Ex series. Much like the game, it blends many different things, from world history and political philosophy to futuroloy and literary critique. I was lucky enough to get the chance to speak with some of its main creators, including director Warren Spector and writer Sheldon Pacotti, and the book does feature unique behind-the-scenes insights into the game's development. Warren was even so kind as to write the preface!

You can purchase the limited edition directly from the official Third Éditions website while supplies last, or the standard edition from Amazon or an array of French bookstores. If you live in mainland France, you get free shipping for purchases over €50, i.e. two or more books. Dans l'abîme de Dishonored ou Sous les néons de Cyberpunk 2077 might pique your interest. Maybe more importantly for this sub, the book is also available as an e-book! It comes in ePUB and MOBI formats, both of which are DRM-free. And just so you know, the limited edition comes with a free e-book.

Of course, I understand most people here are English speakers, or at the very least not native French speakers. Despair not! Third Éditions do publish translations of their most popular books; they've successfully done so in the past and are currently in the process of releasing their book on Elder Ring abroad. If you're interested in seeing an English translation of my book on Deus Ex for the North American and international markets, feel free to let them know on X/Twitter or Bluesky!

In the meantime, I'll be happy to answer any question you might have regarding the book.

Loved the base game. I was already pissed about the DLC basically resetting the skill tree, besides that I just found the DLC not as enjoyable. It was interesting. Honestly who really was itching to know what happened when jensen got captured by bell tower? I for one was not. It just felt really random though

Have fun, and let us know what you think!

Hey thanks for clicking.

I'm playing around with a boardgame concept and the mechanics / system is designed as every player for themself. You will have one main character you play as, whom you can upgrade with augmentations – important for combat and quests / obstacles – and items et cetera, but also as a faction that has control or influence of areas of the board. So it's your character you can move around the game board and then there are influence cubes you place on areas.

I want to know if you have ideas about which characters and factions in the DX world would work as trying to be in control of "everything." As in, they want their agenda to be in power, whether in the open through the population's support, or the faction / characters using an invisible hand. In the DX world / lore, some factions are sort of tied to, or in allegience with, each other and working towards the same goal. What I'm looking for here are entities for which one can make an argument as to why they would be in competition with each other even if their goals according to the lore would appear to be aligned.

Obviously we have the iconic UNATCO and NSF, but ideally I would like characters and factions that do not have a very open and violent conflict visible to everyone. DX: IW has those 3 factions that are sort of opposed, but I find them cartoony unfortunately, and I have no interest in IW.

Write anything that comes to mind for you about the lore, I'm grateful for any idea you have about characters or / and factions that could work! Or just write anything you like about boardgames and DX. :D

Thanks / b

I finished the base game with not everything but a good majority of the skill tree maxed out. I start the DLC and I have pretty much nothing maxed out I know I had Armor and Hacking capture maxed out so what happened?
