Its not.
Yeah. In AMA devs mentioned that for MD they made systems to track player choices so they can bring them over to next game, if it happens.
Someone didn't pay attention during their playthrough :/
Next to apartment complex where Adam lives.

Story question about this quest (spoilers):
How did Eliza get part of her consciousness downloaded to an ancient floppy disk? That part made no sense to me.
I wonder if the "help" I got from that ruined my Foxiest of the Hounds. I don't think I got any attention outside of that.
Well since this is a prequel, we know that the Illuminati/Bob Page wins.

The woman from TF29 will call you and tell you there has been a murder near your apartment. Look for police activity/yellow crime tape very close to the apartment.
Not sure how that would work with NG+ , since you can make diff choices the 2nd time around.
Ohhhh shit.... I hope it isn't what fucked my run.
Witcher 3 style? What ever end state save you have in right folder gets used.
And? Also do they win or just survive to fight another day?

Nice condescension. I've played through the game fully twice and I'm part way through another while I find all the eBooks. I paid plenty attention I just don't care at all for any of the broader story in this game, the way it's told, the characters involved or the ending that is clearly just setting you up for the next game.
I'm happy for you if you enjoyed it but just because I didn't doesn't mean I wasn't paying attention. It's mediocre, standard fare video game writing at best which makes it pretty poor when compared to any other medium.
It's too bad because I think the side writing is actually compelling and fitting for the character and the setting. The second visit to Prague in particular is very strong.
Writing maybe isn't best out there, but to say that story doesn't amount to anything at the end is little odd imo. Especially if one actually pays attention and looks to sides too and not just ahead. I think MD being middle chapter was quite obvious from get go with its focus on solving train bombing. Your "normal" DX stuff with possible conspiracies and such weren't so big focus and like you said, setups next installment
I think it's what MD sets out to do and manages to do quite well even if writing isn't stellar and certain things are very guessable from get go.
Win. Page dissolves / takes over the Illuminati. His Majestic Twelve directly controls UNATCO and France and everyone else indirectly with the Gray Death, a nanite plague that is only manageable with the drug Versalife produces. They also produce said plague. MJ12 also inherited control of the Internet from the Illuminati and has an AI hunting through it for anything that could threaten them.

Couldn't you do that with me2 too? In that case it just went off the latest set of decisions.
Was there even a NG+ in ME2?
Yeah, in 2052. If we assume it's all smooth sailing for Page from now to then then why to bother to do any prequels? Baddies win anyways and good guys can't do anything to hinder their plans, pack it up boys! Hyperbolic sure, but my point is that maybe his rise to power at that level wasn't so smooth and people like Adam hindered him and Illuminati.
If people approach prequels as "Well, Page wins anyways" then there literally is no point in telling any pre-2052 stories from Deus Ex universe. None of those stories amount for anything at the end.
I think there was? I remember running through it twice but it might just of been fresh saves.
The side stories in this game are so much more interesting than the main plot of the game. Hell, a single room in
contained a more compelling story than the main plot so far.
Golem City
You walk into a small apartment room and find a man and two women already dead, apparently shot and murdered. On a laptop is an email informing the wife that she's pregnant, and that she'll have to leave Golem City if she wants to keep it. There's a pocket secretary next to the dead husband with a message telling his brother that he can't bring another child into the world and that this is the last time he'll ever be heard from. On the floor next to him is a 10mm pistol...
Well, it is pointless in the long run, but that won't stop us from being a thorn in their side!
If they died, it counts.

Quick Question. I'm a bit later in the game and I'm at a point where I have to choose
. I'm assuming there's no way to do both and I need to choose one? Does not choosing the former lead to any later consequences?
Allison or the bank
Yes, you need to choose. There will be consequences.
Don't think any ME's had ng+.

Absolutely HUGE Deus Ex fan and I've been putting in at least 12 hours a day on this since launch 
I'm taking my time completely scouring the environments for every last drop of loot, info and XP. I'm up to M8/M9 and SM 05. So far I hope I'm doing a decent job. I've got over 105,000 credits in reserve and total 111,820 XP.
I wish I could read this thread, but I don't want to be possibly spoiled by anything. I do, however, have a question I figured I'd ask that wouldn't be too spoilery for me. It concerns Side Mission 05:

I've already retrieved the dirt on Picus for the water contamination and airline incidents. I'm curious if there's a third piece of dirt to dig up somewhere. I've scoured the building pretty thoroughly, but can't find anything.
I'm curious because when I only had 1 piece of news and went back, K asked if there was anything else. This led me to believe I missed something, and that's when I found the second piece of news. I went back and he still asks if there's anything else, to which my character shakes his head. Let me know if I missed something please.

For what it's worth, the consequences aren't that heavy.

Later on you will come across SM about which you can talk to K after doing it, that SM clearly connects to Picus.
Hmm, I bought the game earlier today (PC) and played for a couple of hours:
The game has been crashing constantly for me - as in it crashes about every 30 minutes or so. Pretty annoying honestly and not exactly what I expected from this. Pretty sure it's not my hardware as I haven't had any problems like this in any other games.

It does count as a kill. Checked the body of an electrocuted guard and the icon that popped up was a skull indicating death.
The game is decent, but it was released way too early.
I progressed up to main mission 14 and now the game won't load half the level (the geometry is missing and you fall through the floor), so I'm unable to progress. All my save games are affected, and rebooting the game doesn't fix the issue
You probably got something corrupted. reinstall
FOUR guns is a fucking lot. I carried that many and I expected ti to take a lot of room. Also you don't need every type of ammo for every gun. You don't need beer. You don't need 8 types of grenades. If you REALLY want another gun, choose something to drop. Not sure what to tell you beyond that, you're not supposed to walk around with literally everything.

anyone know how to fix this glitch? it's been stuck on my screen since i tried the shooting range:
Go back to the shooting range to reset it. You do not have to go through the tutorial again, just enter and exit the shooting range area.
Also thank fuck for the conversation system in this game. Love that it actually shows what Jensen will say when i hover over an option instead of the obtuse way Fallout 4/Bioware games does it. Unlike when playing the latter games i've had zero reloads due to the dialogue system so far, huzzah!
Update to latest drivers, make sure memory intensive programs like chrome are closed, try turning off the overclock to your video card and CPU. My graphic card memory overclock had to be lowered by 125.

Collect everything, and do frequent trips to the vendors to sell. I'd actually have about 40 - 50k more credits if I sold off some of the other stuff I'm hoarding.
I made the most cash in
Golem City
I'd have more cash if I held to that pattern more often, but I had to draw the line at some point so that I'd actually move on. In total I spent 16 hours straight running around
Golem
Also, I gotta say I love where they've hidden some Praxis kits in this game. It really rewards those who take the extra time to search every nook and cranny. Gives me a real sense of accomplishment and validates the extra time I'm spending on exploring.

LOL!
Wow I don't pay attention. I was in the inventory menu and finally noticed the STORAGE option off to the side with a bunch of gear in there, including credits and a praxis kit! Where da hell did this stuff come from? Pre order bonus? It doesn't appear that I can place things in storage though...

For those who have played a decent amount, would you recommend I go in fairly blind for the best experience, or would following a basic guide help to prevent me from missing a lot of side quests and cool content?
Adam's apartment has stash that is persistent, just need find it
Go in blind and explore and experience. You will walk into most if not all side stuff by doing that!
vivftp
Member
I honestly don't know how far I've gone in the game, but I've played every Deus Ex game to date and I can say without a doubt that going in blind is the best way. Take your time, look around and enjoy yourself. Even if somehow you miss something, catch it on the next run through
At the very least save going through any guides until after the first run.

Yea I hate it in Bioware games as well as Fallout 4. I need to know exactly what he will say so that I can get the meaning and connotation. Not just the "feel"

Yeah, found that immediately. I'm just laughing cause I've spent loads of time in the inventory menu and never noticed the big STORAGE option to the left side with all this extra stuff.
Basically any that you are yet to finish off or even find.
Mystery Aug one will continue after that bit tho and won't fail.
Took 20 or so hours for me to notice it too
afaik it's only for pre-order / DLC items.WonderCheese

Thank you both, that sounds like good advice. My gaming OCD tends to make it hard for me to play RPGs blind, but I need to get over that. And you're right, I can always worry about that stuff on a second play through.

question:
The Golden Ticket
Uh, how do I validate the permits? I've infiltrated the permit office and am standing in the room where the objective marker was pointing but there's nothing to do. There's a computer, but all it lets me do is turn on and off some cameras. I'm very puzzled.
