Built largely for first-time players, Deus Ex: Transcended is a mod focused solely around faithfulness to the original, while bringing an unmatched arsenal of bug fixes, paired with key notes of Quality of Life changes.

For most all purposes, it'll play identical to the original, without any substantial changes to balance and no changes to assets, be they map, model, or sound. Virtually all changes outside of pure bug fixing are entirely configurable, allowing for the user to stay even closer the original in every possible way, should they choose it.

Recommend combination with for Confix conversation based fixes.

Does Transcended affect using cheats? In vanilla, I'm able to use cheats, but in Transcended, the "Set DeusEx.JCDentonMale bCheatsEnabled True" text doesn't work.

I have a little suggestion for the next update: hands matching the character appearance you choose, JCs hands are very inconsistent being this shiny tan/light brown colour on most weapons but being white on the mini crossbow, having different hands depending on what appearance you pick like black hands for the black skin and very pale hands for the very pale skin would add some immersion, I've only seen it done on the lay D Denton mod and I'm surprised no other mod has tried it

Hi, the mod is excelent. But I have one issue, the mouse sensitivity in the inventory and menú screen is too high. It feels like when you play an older Game at low res with full screen. I'm playing at 1080 .When playing borderless fullscreen this problem dissapears but i cant change the brightness then. I Hope you can help me if it's a bug. If not, i would like It to be fixed in the Next update, the high sens makes it unconfortable to use the inventory screen.
