This was after about an hour of googling solutions, so I finally just threw in the towel. Guess it couldn't hurt to give it a real quick re-try. Edit: Goddamnit all. It fired right up, no problems.

Very useful guide. Been playing this game for 20+ years and still find out new things. You know, I knew about distracting enemies with darts - but did not know that while they are investigating, they ignore all other sounds! 100% agree with the tranq-dart tactic. It's effective run and gun. Been using this forever. And it works great for the classic no-kill game run.

10/10. But what about the GEP gun drop on head takedown?! Or is it lethal? Or a medkit takedown? Another impressive mechanic is a passive smoking cigarette kill. Really like the format, but I strongly advise not to prelearn stuff for your walkthroughs to enjoy unpredictability. Maybe do Thief tutorials with AI Garrett voice for all arrows in all games? Or a tiny tutorial about Filcher game with AI voice? There are lots of opportunities.

I don’t know, I somehow very quickly realized that there is no difference when hitting with a baton from behind, with prod too, and a laser saber has damage for overkill. And until now I thought that all melee weapons simply do not depend on the head hitbox. If we really start talking about this, then usually the instructions for police officers are strictly written not to hit a suspect on the head during an arrest with such batons (we won’t say how well this is done). So JC chooses to use his augmented force to break the suspect's spine instead. Like he'll remain a little paralyzed, but it's still technically non-lethal. After all, there is a future with nano-medicine that can certainly fix this, if you can afford it.

Deus Ex AI is dumb but I won't have it any other way. I don't want them to be any smarter than this. Because this dumb AI adds to the immersive sim nature of the game. This video is a great example. You cannot do these tactics in other games with good AI. It's not easy to pull off these tactics either. I played the game completely stealthy, no ko, no invisibility once and it was possible due to this type of AI. I made a 4 guards turn 180 degrees with distractions so that I can sneak by. This bad AI adds to the fun of Deus Ex. Only thing I want is to fix some of the glitches of the game that cause trouble like some AI glitch or graphical glitch. For instance in 1st visit to versalife while escaping when come out of the undergrpund base the security guard AI doesn't react to distractions. That is something to fix. Otherwise, it is perfect.

@@BaconHer0 I don't know why this happens though. Immersive sims works on stim and response concept. Something gives a stimulus or stim and other things will response to that. This system gives immersive sims their identity. This game has some great examples of such systems like an object or enemy on fire will set other flammable things on fire, fire extinguisher and water gets rid of the fire, EMP grenades disable other grenades and many more. But for some reason there are also example of really shitty example of this system or may be it wasn't even used for some reason. Like in different maps lasers behave differently, some AI will act deaf even when they shouldn't, flammable objects will catch on fire if it is placed on fire barrels but enemies won't catch on fire the same way. Not sure why Deus Ex has this discrepancies in the systen.

Usually on my nonlethal runs, I would generally sneak up on them and when close enough, uncrouch and the aim for the head with a baton for an instant take down. I believe this worked even Vanilla Deus Ex. To not aim for the head is an odd suggestion as I have found my tactic works fine. But then again, I never was really aggressive on my nonlethal runs.

My advice is based on game mechanics. At untrained, a point-blank headshot with a baton only deals 70 damage, not enough for an instant takedown. A torso shot deals 140 damage You're welcome to play with debug mode on and look at the numbers yourself, or look at the decompiled game files Post a video of your findings and get back to me
