Deus Ex: Invisible War


Twenty years after the events depicted in the multi-award-winning Deus Ex, the world is just beginning to recover from The Collapse. As an elite agent-in-training, you must match wits against numerous militant factions bent on violently reshaping the world to suit their own agendas. Armed with a multitude of high-tech gadgets and cyberpunk bio-mods, you are granted nearly superhuman powers. Travel the globe to uncover fiendish plots and convoluted conspiracies of world domination. Unmask the conspirators, and discover the shocking truth behind your own origins.

Deus Ex: Invisible War features the open-ended gameplay of its predecessor: use multi-tools and trickery to get past your opponents, or just turn their technology against them as you hack their turrets and computer systems. Along with bio-mods and choices that let you mould your character as you desire, take advantage of the numerous ways to customize your weaponry whether it’s to increase their rate of fire or clip capacity. Last but not least, take advantage of the various factions, such as the Omar who have the only black-market bio-mods, to further your aims.

Who should you trust? Who should you fight? Every decision you make affects the world around you. A good choice for RPG and action fans alike!

There's no time limit on earning badges, you can get a badge for any game we've already played.
Need to clarify this cause I'm mentally disabled - if I play Dragon Age Origins, IWD or any other game now - I can still get a badge and be part of the guild?

Reload the last Citadel save and beat the Saren boss fight again. Post the screenshots and you'll probably get your badge.

Funny thing, no :scratch:
Because I'm playing the Legendary Edition, and thus still everything is installed, thus Chad Shepard in ME1 is still kicking :smug:

@1998 Just that it's basically remastered for ME1 and 2, while also having all DLC included. Only thing that still pisses me off is that they cut out the multiplayer for 3.

Only if you want the janky 2007 graphics to look worse because the "remaster" was done by incompetent *******.

Forgot about that, for ME1 you want to get a mod that I can't remember the name of, because they ****** up the lighting. I'll try to find it.

Even that mod won't fix the ****** up ME3 eyes that they backported to ME1. Every screenshot of those wonky eyes is from that improved lighting mod page:

Yes, from this mod exactly.
The line of sight is all weird with one eye drifting off.
