Totally different look. One is natural and the other is clinical... Deus Ex is like Portal 2, it will benefit from massive AA and will look grand whether it is as graphically capable as Witcher 2 or not.

Ugh... Got all the components to craft the draug armor except I'm now broke. What's a quick and easy way to earn orens in act 3? Is there a fist fight area?

After I posted that I realised that I'm playing with mods which make everything more expensive. Derp.Varna said:

I ran into a money issue then too. Try selling all your lesser mutagens. If that isnt an option prepare to play a whole lot of dice.Gully State said:
It's worth it though, the Draug Armor is the best looking one in the game imo. Add 3 magic wrap enhancements if you get more money (Bras sells them).

I need essentially 750 orens. How do you consistently win at dice?toasty_T said:

Speaking of dice, is there some way to win often I'm not aware of?
ThoseDeafMutes said:
It's almost entirely a matter of luck, mostly when it comes to your first roll. If you get a high pair or better, you'll probably win, if not you probably won't. But sometimes it seemed the later dice players would get better rolls just to drag it out. It all doesn't really matter since the even the high stakes are so low, I just kept betting max till I won.
The only time dice mattered was when I spent all my money on whores only to find out I needed money to get important info from a NPC, so I had to keep beating her at dice until I could afford the info.

Quicksave and pray. It'll take you a while since you can only make around 50 orens per game.Gully State said:
No high stakes option kind of sucks.

What exactly are the rules? I thought I was just trying to get an overall higher number than my opponent :/
You're telling me I'm supposed to be matching pairs?
ThoseDeafMutes said:
I honestly couldn't tell if something like a full house (two pairs) counted, they didn't make that clear but maybe it was in the manual. I know the more advanced poker hands like straights don't matter. Like I said, it's mostly a matter of luck. You can see your opponents dice, if you have a pair or better, or at least higher numbered dice, you'll probably win as long as you select the other dice and re roll them. There is very little strategy involved.

It's called dice poker for a reason
Fredescu said:
They do. There are two varieties of straights as well, five high and six high. But outside of a full house if you get a decent opening hand, the bigger hands aren't usually worth going for in my experience. I typically just win with a three-of-a-kind. Was the same in the first game, as I recall.

The scoring is like poker except with dice, hence dice poker.ThoseDeafMutes said:
Nothing < a pair < two pairs < three of a kind < four of a kind< a flush (5 consecutive numbers) < a full house ( 3 of a kind and a pair)
Also the higher the number the bettter.

No see, I didn't know it was called Dice Poker. All he ever says is LETS PLAY SOME DICE.
just got this game and played about 3 hrs... the only really glaring flaw i see is the lack of polish when interacting with the enviroment... it is extremely easy to miss standing on that one spot to pick up loot and many times if you are in a small room with loot on the ground, a coupe of doors, and wall torches,.... left clicking can give you a random action

I win 90% of the time when I play DICE, it's a matter of choosing the right dice to remove when you re-roll. It's not really very hard at all. I wish there was a way to gamble in real life that was that easy to win!
This game.
It's almost 6 AM. I've been up all night playing it; can't seem to put it down.
The quests are interwoven better than a lot of games. I really appreciate it, as I've been led along the main story quests pretty nicely as I've been doing sidequests (which also interweave nicely). They're also really awesome. I just did the quest about Baltimore's dream - that was pretty cool!

I couldn't figure out what to do next after finding the key, but then I found the next part by accident.subversus said:
When I was looking around, I came across the troll and when I was going to find his mate, I saw the wrecked ship. I remembered the "plight" and "drowned soul" part of the thing, so I just decided to meditate until noon and went to where the shadow pointed.
The middle part of that quest is really vague, and I'm wondering if it's a translation issue or something.

I'm sure I could have managed with the weight, but I have a tendency to hoard every piece of loot I find. I only had one set of equipment at a time, it was the ingredients that always threw me off.
There needs to be a way to distinguish between the elements of the alchemy ingredients. If I knew I had 100+ Rebis I'd stop picking it up. Maybe have the element symbol next to the loot and be able to seprate the elements in the inventory. Sorting paramaters like weight and value would be useful too.

Yeah, I reached the limit once, but it was because I was carrying a polearm, 4 axes, 3 short swords, 4 daggers, etc., in addition to my two swords. Unnecessary=overload.

You get it if you spared Aryan La Valette's life apparently.

I'm in the middle of act II and I don't think my inventory has been under 270 since the beginning of act 1. I have kept my silver sword from the first game, mostly due to the circumstances under which you get it, even though it is no longer useful, but I only have my equipped weapons and armor otherwise (with the occasional exception of a piece of armor that might be better than what I have equipped when I get good enhancements).
It's mostly Iron and monster parts that say they work for crafting weighing me down. Most alchemy ingredients are weightless, so I have no problem carrying 50 of them, but things like Endrega hide and Rotfiend tongues are hard to drop because I never know when they will come up in a recipe. I almost made the Jagged sword in chapter 1, but I was two endrega teeth short due to making some other recipe that used them.
I would love to have kept things like the Guisarme or the rake for fun, but I just don't have the carrying capacity. I also forgot about all the junk items for much of the first chapter, since they don't come up under any of the item categories except "all," so I rarely noticed them.

You get the extra 50 capacity if you convince Aryan to surrender.
The ability is called Strong Back.
You find Aryan in the dungeon being tortured. You can help him escape by holding him up and dragging him
