I can't get out of the radioactive pool. I've tried from all sides, tried mantling up (ala Thief and SS2), and I still can't get out of the pool.

So far, compared to Thief and SS2, I am thinking Deus Ex isn't worth the $30 I paid for it. Somebody want to help change my mind?

In the mirrors of the many judgements, my hands are the color of blood. I am a part of the evil that exists in the world and in Shadow. I sometime fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils. And on that Great Day of which prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe, on that day when the world is completely cleansed of evil, then I, too, shall go down into darkness, swallowing curses. Until that time, I shall not wash my hands nor let them hang useless. Corwin of Amber

Yes...I hate that pool and always have trouble getting out. Try looking up as you attempt to get out. I hate swimming in this game....and you can get throught pretty much the whole thing without having to do it so...

Thanks guys, I shall try staring at the ceiling while I swim. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

Now, just from curiosity, how many people know where the quote "building a city on a hill" (from the intro movie) comes from? I just learned it in my history course.

I think the Bible is the origin of this allusion.

Please do not judge the game by the training mission. Please do not judge the game by the first mission.

From what i know -- and listening to others describe their experience -- DX is notoriously frustrating the first mission. Then once you get past the first mission, it's usually very hard to stop playing untill you get to LaGuardia.
