What's the best way to play this for the first time?

>>380967282
Always remember that the GEP gun is the most silent way to take down Manderley.

>>380967282
Skip that shit.

It was cool when it came out, but it aged really badly. You can play the latest ones if you want new graphics, but the gameplay is casual and dumbed down.

Just wait a few days for the big Steam sale, and grab the new Prey for 10-20% off. It's easily the best game of the last 15 years.

Its called human revolution

>>380967282
deus exe is all you need

Just play it raw OP, I'm not super huge on old games, but I played it like 2 years ago and thought it was GREAT! Better than all of its sequels as well.

The gameplay is clearly dated and has flaws, but despite everything I think the first game did the conspiratorial atmosphere better than all the later ones did.
If you like an interesting gameworld, then I highly recommend playing the first DX.
Anyway, Rifles is the most versatile combat skill since it applies to the most kinds of weapons. You should put at least one level into Heavy Weapons in order to make them viable. Computers is good because it not only gives you more exploration options but also gives you access to more world-building and plot-related documents.

Swimming and Resistance are the two pretty much useless skills. Put all your points into them to give yourself the hardmode/stupid playthrough.

Pick the GEP gun and swimming

>>380967282
Shifter removes some of the sucky bits from the game without changing too much.

Download deus ex revision on steam, play.

you could throw on some texture mods to make it less ugly but the gameplay is fine as it is.

>>380967282
Get Deus Exe aka Kentie launcher. Install new vision if you're really autismo and need slightly improved textures. Otherwise play the game as is the first time. More importantly don't just quit because you're too shit to beat Liberty Island and then come to complain about how it's "dated".

>>380969326
completely ignore this

>>380967282
Deus Exe and Directed 3D Renderer for 1080p. You shouldn't need anything else to get this game up to date that it if you're not a faggot

Thanks dudes. Anything I should know about investing skills?

I found System Shock a bit of a pain since not leveling the right stuff meant next to no progression.

Just play it raw dawg. There are some texture packs but they ruin the fucking models in the game so they're not worth it. If they have an option without the model changes then go for it.
Also the game doesn't look that bad if you are playing at modern resolutions. Something comfy about these early 00s games in modern resolutions. Everything is so clean and crisp.

Put as many points as possible in swimming

>>380969605

Computers is the god skill
You want to level both electronics and lockpicking at least once
One weapon skill is enough, you can't go wrong with any
Environmental is utter shit and swimming is usefull maybe twice in the whole game.

>>380967282
GEP gun is best choice at start
explosives and melee can break some locked doors
you can skip some of the bosses

I recommend playing vanilla at first, and replay later with mods or different versions.

Stick with the Prod. Prod with the Prod. Just in case, though, we're police.

>>380969791
you can't get stuck in deus ex. Just find out what you want to level but I'd recommend swimming to at least 2, not for the memes but because it's actually useful on a few spots and fun to use if higher than 1.

Also >no progession in System Shock
if you built a jack of all trades character maybe

Fun fact: Paul himself does not actually favor use of the prod while performing his duties.

>>380967282
No mods.
Stick to the prod.
Max swimming, it pays off later.

>>380970070
I don't remember any spots where swimming was particularly useful where it couldn't just be supported by rebreathers or cheesing it with health regen aug

>Modding a first playthrough unless the game desperately needs it for bug fixes

new vision 1.5
gmdx

>>380967282
I recommend GMDX. Although you might want to wait since 9.0 is coming on July 1st.

Tell me about JC
Why does he wear the sunglasses?

>>380970285
well Hong Kong is an obvious example where the map gets much more fun with decent swimming when you can just explore without having to Quickload if you missuse the rebreather just to check something out which wasn't worthwhile in the end. Other than that I don't have any specific examples. Mission 3 features some water sections/routes I have enjoyed and since leveling it to level 2 is basically free it's not that wasted. By the end of the game you won't know what to put points into anyway so might as well spend the 500 early. That is if you're playing stealth.

How does one play a heavy weapons build? Burn everyone?
