Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it happens this week! Options

[CanRay]

Where do you get the wine from? But I pop painkillers like a real junkie. That, and chocolate bars.

Is there Yogurt?

[hermit]

No, sadly not. There're energy bars, whiskey, and beer, at least that's all I found. Oh, and canned cyborg food, which I presume is some sort of Soy.

Russian guy? Where is he exactly? Also, is there a second merchant in Hengsha, in addition to the guy in Hunghua Hotel?

3rd floor in the building where O'Malley (crooked cop) and this lab tech live. Up the stairs and to the end of the corridor, there's a door there that's openable, and there is the russian and his bodyguard. I sold every lootable gun from the Bangers safehouse in 4th floor to him. Nice cash.

And where is the guy in Hunghua? I searched for him, but beside someone out fo the blue trying to kill me there was just Mae and Edgar and a bunch of extras (civilians and hookers).

[Tanegar]

Can you, ahem, retain a hooker's services, then kill her to get your money back? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[LurkerOutThere]

The two merchants (that I know of) in hong kong are one in the lowest level of the brothel behind a sliding door, he sells a rocket launcher. The other is in the garden hotel. Can't remember him selling anything of note.

[Stahlseele]

can't retain a hookers services period.

[CanRay]

*Pfft* What kind of Dystopian Future is that?

[Stahlseele]

The only hooker that will talk more than one sentence is a cop.

Nope, DX3 is not GTA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Actually, no, the hooker extras also have each at least three sentences - two they alternatly say if talked to and one they say when just passing them by. Also, the hookers opposite the cop have an argument going about whether fucking cybered men is squicky or not when you first see them. That's quite a lot for NPCs who basically don't do anything.

Third floor? The building next to basketball court, the only entry being a third-floor or fourth-floor window? That's Seurat.

Garden Hotel? Alice Garden Pod Hotel or Hengsha Court Gardens?

[Critias]

The wine comes from the Hive. It's lying all over the damned place in the VIP area, like a bottle on every table (or close to it). Also, you can order all the booze you'll possibly want (in addition to having another, potentially quite lucrative, conversation!) with the bartender in the Hive.

So, yeah. Power bars and liquor, that's the fuel for my cyborg hacker/killer.

What, no rubber buns?

[Stahlseele]

Depending on how far the legs go, he may very well have rubber buns . .

[Faraday]

Garden Hotel? Alice Garden Pod Hotel or Hengsha Court Gardens?

Pod hotel, it's in the locker room on the first floor. Go to the left when you enter the main atrium and you should find it.


Also, merchants sell weapons -upgrades- which are quite useful and hard to find otherwise.

[hermit]

Nanofiber/smart alloy buns.

Also, anyone else notice how damn much Hengshua lower city resembles Shinra Slums? I wonder if there's a resistance group there too who think crushing the slums is a brilliant idea to really show them. Well, that and Barrett, hehe.

[LurkerOutThere]

I've beat it now, it's hold on me is broken and I can concentrate on the 100 other things I really need to get done. I liked the game, the ending was a bit underwhelming to be honest.

Yar, I was saving all that laser cannon ammo for nothing...
I was at least hoping for a giant robot to attack or something.

Also, I noticed that Tracer Tong is a shout out to the Tracert command.

[LurkerOutThere]

He might be, but actually he's a fairly major character in Deus Ex: No additional title.

I know, I played the original first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Laser cannon is awesome in the third boss fight. Especially when the moron tries to shoot you through a wall.
Also, I haven't expected what happened in the last level. Everything's going like the first Deus Ex, and suddenly BOOM! that.

[Seriously Mike]

Also, is it just me, or does Tai Yong Medical fulfill all the conditions of being your typical corrupt cyberpunk megacorp?

[LurkerOutThere]

Praxis seemed like a great stand in for Horizon. On the whole I was struck by how I wish SR embraced some of the transhumanism and augmentation culture expressed in HR rather then this constant undercurrent of cyber-hate.

[Seriously Mike]

You mean Sarif? Well, David Sarif may seem like a jerk sometimes, but in the end, he's pretty level-headed. Tai Yong, on the other hand...

Well, you know, it's from the 80s, when people lost their jobs to cyberlimbs, and katanas had +3 power due to being asian.

I wouldn't say that. I mean sending private goons to kill people and all the shadow stuff is of course cyberpunky, very shadow runny. But the company itself, it's business practice of getting designs and producing by putting cheaper pieces in it, it not fiction, that's the Chinese business model. I find VersaLife is more the typical cyberpunk Corp, doing real shady shit, totally immoral stuff.

It more reminds me of American business practices abroad (and, the cutting back on quality for short-term profit, in general). The Chinese model is to steal someone else's blueprints, reverse engineer them, undercut anybody by paying shit, having no workplace safety, and dumping your toxic waste in the nearest river, and then cutting back on quality. Of course, TYM does that, too, with Sarif and other companies. It's more of a hybrid, taking the worst of both, really.

Yup, and are in it for the lulz, evulz and conspiracy weirdness instead of honest profit.

Side note: I love these world conspiracies who put their insignia up in the lobby of their seekrit lairs. The 802-11 building housing Eliza has both the Majestic 12 symbol and the Illuminati symbol in the first room. Because it's not a conspiracy theory if the conspiracy doesn't dump hints to it's true nature plainly for everyone to see. ^_^

And another boss who sucks. Meh. I guess I should have bought isolation skin?

You mean Picus? Yeah, they would be.

David Sarif may seem like a jerk sometimes, but in the end, he's pretty level-headed.

Sarif Industries is Spinrad, and so is David Sarif. Down to designer carved cyberlimbs and excessive cyberization.
