This has nothing to do with the article itself, but this bugs me and I see people doing it on MetaFilter all the time, so: microrant time! This sentence:įuture world at the tipping point between dystopia and flat-out anarchy At one point I tried dropping them all in a giant pile of multitools and then picking them up again, and apparently there were some that would cause the inventory to get stuck if I picked them up, perhaps because they'd been on my person for like 5+ levels. I would always have several dozen on me at all times, and at some point it stopped allowing me to pick up more even though I had space. In DXIW I used a similar strategy and it resulted in so many multitools that I ran into game bugs with the inventory system.
I also found on replays that as long as you played with a "always explore everything, always get all items" mindset, you would have so many multitools and lockpicks that you would never run out and never have to worry about not being able to get into anything. I could never understand why anyone would want to run and gun in that game with the SMG or shotgun - they were so noisy and loud and required that you got off multiple shots. You could even upgrade it for distance and damage if I recall correctly, such that in the middle and end game you could shoot someone very far away and then just relax for a while as he had absolutely no idea what was happening or where he was being shot from. In most cases the guy would be on the floor before being able to activate an alarm, so you didn't have an onslaught of backup. All you had to do was shoot someone once, and then you could duck away and hide and the poison would do multiple rounds of damage, usually killing them and if it didn't you could just put a second dart into them while they were flailing around madly. I kept other weapons around for things like those mechanical spiders and the MJ12 dudes in the full body armor, but otherwise the crossbow was by far the best weapon.
My absolute favorite tactic in Deus Ex was the crossbow with poison darts.
