ojnihs Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 You're gonna need a lot of time if you want to finish BG1+2 thoroughly (I'd estimately 150+ hours) that's part of the reason i never played it through all the way, never had that much spare time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Has anyone got Deus Ex to run on XP, and if so how? Did you try all of the compatibility modes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Did you try all of the compatibility modes? I don't think so, I will try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 hmm, it worked fine in Win2k, so definitely try the compatibility modes. I think I played it on Windows 98 or ME (shudder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Deus ex runs fine on windows xp. What version of the game do you have and what is your graphics card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Deus ex runs fine on windows xp. What version of the game do you have and what is your graphics card? I don't have the game with me, but I believe it's the game of the year edition. I was last trying to run it on my laptop which has an ATi 9700 pro using the latest (at the time) Omega drivers.

catscratch Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 what games that you have played have better dialog than BG1/2? You didn't like the choice to be good evil or neutral? Well, Deus Ex for one. Just about any other game that didn't set its sights too high, for another. Gothic has a lot of extremely well written dialogue. The best out there is probably The Longest Journey, as well as the old-school Sierra games, like Space Quest, King's Quest, etc... and the best of that bunch was Quest for Glory (I only played 4 though, but it was terrific). Wing Commander 4 also had a tremendous storyline and dialogue; if you look at the cinematics alone it was a much better movie than the atrocity that was released in the theaters. Yes, I think D&D alignments are utterly ridiculous. People don't think that way, and if they do, they're mad. Basing a whole bunch of moralizing dialogue in a game on this alignment system is a recipe for disaster in my book. If not for that bit, I would have liked the series a good deal more.

ph0rk Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yes, I think D&D alignments are utterly ridiculous. People don't think that way, and if they do, they're mad. People don't cast fireballs, either. BG let you be however good or evil you wanted, but your actions had consequences with your companions - I don't see the problem with that. It actually got quite interesting when you had the paladin and the evil cleric in your party. I don't know if I'd call BG the greatest game of all time, but I'd say it has a fighting chance to be in my top ten. But then, opinions differ: I never liked the old sierra games, myself, I found them quite boring. Well, except Leisure Suit Larry, but come on.

Patu Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I never liked Deus Ex that much. System Shock 2 was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I decided to take another crack at the problems I was having and Google figured out the problem. The game messes up on a laptop that has a CPU running at variable speeds (save battery) and the game goes into "turbo mode" The fix is adding -CPUSPEED=#### to the shortcut's program location where #### is the actual speed of your laptop processor ie C:\DeusEx\System\DeusEx.exe -CPUSPEED=1800 So I'm now playing Deus Ex again, finished the first level just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Not sure if I've mentioned that I love Deus Ex (1) more than my own dear mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Reks you should give the game another shot, it really is one of the best FPS ever made. I finally understand all the medical speak (though it's mostly cell biology). Even cooler since all the information is pretty much accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 It actually got quite interesting when you had the paladin and the evil cleric in your party. Reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic. When you go evil and everyone has to make their choice on whether to follow for the end of the game. I couldn't believe how evil they actually let me be.

Having to kill Samuel L "Joli" Jackson was what made going dark side very hard. Still I slayed that fool and went on my merry way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric5676 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I love this game to death. It's really ridiculous how much I love this game. Thanks to a ton of mods and stuff, even Deux Ex:Invisible War is worth something now on the PC if you need a fix of sorts. I really hope the third game is something special. We've all waited more than long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
