It is now that I really want to say something about one of the greatest games of all time. You see, I have finished it again yesterday (all 3 endings) and again I have seen things that I had never seen before. I’ve finished it so many times allready that I lost count at 20 or something and for those who do not know what Deus Ex is, here is a link and another one.

I would think that the things I’ve seen on this run are probably all documented on the internet somewhere, but I still find it amazing that after all these years (it was released in 2000) and all the times that I’ve run through this game I still notice things that I hadn’t seen before. First thing I noticed was that you can actually fight two bosses twice. I allready knew about Anna Nevarre. You can just run away and get captured by Gunther Hermann when you get out of the subway station in Battery Park or you can fight her, but not kill her. At a certain point she will just start running around, like all damaged enemies do and then you can let her live and continue to get captured. Later on, when you get back to Unatco HQ you will face her again. I found that out on the first run I ever did, so that wasn’t new. But it is also possible to run into Walton Simons for a fight twice. First time is when you have retrieved the schematic for the UC from the ocean la. Pretty much the same happens as with Nevarre, he will start running around like an idiot when you hit him good a few times and then you just leave him. The result is that you will run into him again when you get to Area 51. I did a quick search for this, but I didn’t find any articles that confirmed this, but I’m still pretty sure that I’m not the first to do this, but if you didn’t know it, now you can check it out for yourself.

And the last thing was really stupid actually. At the missile silo where you get to reconfigure the missile launch to hit Area 51 instead of X51, you can find a datacube sitting on a table in the guard shack with names on it of killed scientists and 1 captured scientist. Then later inside the launch facility there is a little bathroom where the scientist is locked in and gives you some useless information.

Just too bad I didn’t take any screenshots of these things… Should have FRAPS running for cases like this… Maybe I’ll do that some other time, but for now it’s going to be Deus Ex: Invisible War once more, so that I finish that one again before Deus Ex 3 is released. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to buy that one as soon as it’s released and I’ll most likely write a very extensive post about it whenever I have played it to tell you all how awsome it is.
