Well my friends the time has come, I am no longer amused by Deus Ex. I believe i have done everything there is to do. I've beaten the game using nothing but a crowbar, and the dragons tooth. I've even beaten the game totally NON-LETHALLY of course on realistic. I've beaten the game with ZERO augs, and ZERO skills allocated. Well except my Light, good ol' f12. i've thouroughly explored every single level. I think. Does anyone know of any REALLY secret areas? Because I need something to hold me over until DX2!!!!! Oh well if not maybe thats just what happens when you play a game as enthralling as DX is. Lotsa good times. Oh yeah whats the fastest time you've ever beaten DX in. I went for super speed non-player interaction, quake style, and it took me 3.5 hours approx. I think thats a pretty good time. only 25 saves as well. Oh and BTW the sword arm augmentation DOES NOT EXIST. Believe me. Just for shits and giggles i tried it and to my 'amazement' no sword arm. oh well it still would have been cool. Dang i can't wait for DX2!!!!

bored and deus ex are two words (okay, three) that should not be used together...
don't worry powercrazy, i once felt as you did, bored out of my mind, trying "new" things only to have them fall flat on their face. go play other games. soon enough, you will yearn for more conspiracy action.
here's some stuff you might've missed out on:<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080"> in most of the metal crates on libery island there is a piece of wall that has a medical sign on it. blow or pick open the wall and there's tons of medical droids, and, possibly (i haven't opened all of them yet) augmentations and medpacks. this isn't a secret, but it's neat. also, slowmo is a sure way to amuse yourself for a while. have you tried being "mr. objective failer" or "mr. asshole"? in other words, fail all your objectives as best as you can, or just be plain mean to everyone. and, did you know that if you kill the trooper that comes up to the statue in the first mission, manderley will question you about it? on the flip side you could be "mr. clean nice guy" who doesn't break any laws and is nice to everyone. it's fun to see what mj12 tries to dig up on you in the paris (which is where the terminal that show's you all the "wrong" things you did is). and (this is crazy and i only just thought of it) you could try to beat the game without carrying or using anything (health items, lockpicks, multitools, weapons, and anything else you can pick up). after that i can't really help you.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

More fun things:
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">Play
Who Survives the Raid in the Lucky Money. See how many Rooks Rock can kill before he dies. Lure the drug dealers in Hong Kong down to the arms dealer, then lead the merry gang back up to the policemen (give your self a bonus if you can then get everyone to follow you down to the Old China Hand). Introduce the bot in the market to a scrambler grenade. Trick the Vandenberg good-guy bots into killing Tony Mares and his buddies. Shoot Tessa before she says anything.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well, I could go on ...

Those are all really good Ideas. I particularly like the don't use ANYTHING one. Unfortunetly you will get stuck in various places, because of needing nanokeys, and/or reading datacubes. Also its REALLY hard to escape the MJ12 facility. I'd say impossible. And after that the missions start to get progressively harder. Partially because there are fewer and fewer good robots/people to kill your enemies for you. But the first level was pretty fun. And you can bet that i've searched the entire first level and have found EVERYTHING on it. Oh yeah, Something that i have successfully done. Really COOL. Ok so maggie chow is in her apartment way up high. Right. Well I shatter the windows overlooking jocks apartment and the alarm goes off. So maggie chow and all her guards come after me. So I kill her guards, and maid, and then shoot maggie chow once before i jump over to Jocks balcony. well she follows me (sorta) I get overthere look back and see the body of Maggie Chow falling out of the window. So I pause it and turn on some cheats. Fly and God and I follow her down. Best way to kill maggie chow that I have found. I wonder if i can kill any other Characters this way. FUN STUFF. and i still can't wait for DX2... :( :mad: :( :mad: <IMG SRC="nono.gif" border="0">

Play as a hitman.
When entering Maggie Chow's apartment, be really professional, talk 2 her, tranq her maid then kill maggie and throw her out her window...
you can do this for pretty much every bad dude in the game who can die <IMG SRC="thumb.gif" border="0">
