Deus Ex: Transcended - Same feel, refined.
To quote a wildly successful businessman: "It just works."
It's the same base game, with virtually zero core elements changed, and generally just de-bugged and with some key points of QOL.
It doesn't slap uncanny valley graphics mods on it, add random trash paper and barf stains all over the game, change level layouts, retcon lore, or add stupid new weapons or enemies on a whim.
I gave Vanilla Matters 1.X a great review for keeping things incredibly safe and adding minimal deviation... This adds a fraction of even VM 1.X's deviation. Both are quite good, but the intended effect is undeniable.
If you're looking for something to spice up your Deus Ex experience, look elsewhere, but if the 2 whole gameplay breaking bugs have you wandering into wildly different experiences to "escape" the alleged jank of the game, this mod gives you no excuses to play anything shy of the vanilla experience. This isn't vanilla purism; this is what you should get when you ask for "vanilla". It's vanilla+++.
At the time of writing, I've encountered no bugs, and haven't had anything core about the experience altered yet.
Exceptionally recommended for first time players, I cannot stress this enough.
This is THE *definitive* vanilla experience. You're doing it wrong if you're installing GMDX over Transcended.
Great change log. Vanilla AF.
Great. bug fixing while keeping it vanilla.
This is an expression of love towards Deus Ex.
Best way the original game without any frustration.
The only con is that you can't change to Direct3D 10 for better graphics in "preferences", that why I put an 8.
yes
played most of the Deus Ex mods and always found myself coming back here (and revision too). there's nothing like vanilla and this is vanilla that is 1000x better!
It’s essentially an original game with many bug-fixes and various minor technical and logical improvements so It’s highly recommended, especially for new players.
