I just installed Bloodlines so I will hold off on Redemption.

Any mods suggested for first Deus Ex playthrough?
No, need to go vanilla for the first run or even second to appreciate the changes in a mod like GMDX.

Go 100% vanilla, after that try Shifter.
So we walked down the hill into all those fears and maybes, all that sorrow, nothing certain in our lives except the frozen earth beneath our feet.

Is Deus Ex GOTY playable without having to patch it or are there game breaking bugs?
The GOG version works even on the 20 year old piece of **** PC I have.
I'm playing the Steam version because it's already in my library.

Also, isn't it more likely to work on a 20 year old piece of **** PC?
The Steam version works pretty good with GMDX on top of it. All the pirated versions seem to break with it (original release, Gog with Revision pre-patched in).

Yes, this is the definite version of Deus Ex, but for a first time playthrough I would still go vanilla.

Can we just do ******* Vampire since it's Halloween and stop with this lame back-and-forth ****? Can always do Deus Ex in November.

And for the record, Deus Ex is actually one of the greatest games ever made and well worth playing a shitload of times over. They truly don't make em like they used to.

Vote is over, it's a tie. You can play both to get a badge.

A tip for Deux Ex character creation. Due to a bug, you can downgrade pistols to untrained, use the points for something else and when you finish character creation pistols will go back to trained.

Actually, this is wrong. Deus Ex has 21 votes, since my vote obviously hasn't been counted. The radio buttons in the poll did not work for me, but I stated C L E A R L Y that I voted for Deus Ex. So Deus Ex is the winner, people who want to giggle and play vampires and stuff or see Twilight can do so somewhere out of sight. Weirdos.
I expect this grave error to be fixed, lest you want your polls to appear as reliable as voting in Maricopa county.

It says at the top of the poll when voting ended yesterday. 1998 also doesn't run the poll.

<Sigh> I guess I had to tell you guys eventually... Shouldn't expect you to realize this on your own, not even when referring to Maricopa.
