Deus Ex is one of the best PC games in history, but even it isn't without its faults and shortcomings. Shifter addresses these and then some. Unused game content, buggy scripted events, several completely useless items, and certain design choices that can only be described as "annoying", all fixed (or at least "improved") by this little mod. I started Shifter in 2002 to fix just one of the latter -- the fact that weapons equipped with a laser sight won't turn it on automatically -- and the project has expanded exponentially since then. A few new weapons, some additional uses for existing items, new augmentations, and several fixes for existing Deus Ex bugs all exist in Shifter, along with a new multiplayer component. The mod is so popular it's been featured in Game Informer's July 2007 edition of Mod World; how many Deus Ex mods can say that? (only 3, to be specific) Shifter: "Removing the suck from Deus Ex" since 2002.

I mentioned in one of the other many threads I've created here lately that I personally wasn't a big fan of the modifications made to cigarettes making the game treat them as a weapon (confirmed by having a smoke in Underworld and observing the reaction). However, while I was zoomed in with a scoped weapon and watching the crosshairs sway it occurred to me that taking a page from Metal Gear Solid might not be a bad idea in this case. That is to say, how about making cigarettes temporarily stabilize/improve your aim? I'm not sure if this could be implemented separately for scoped shooting versus noscope or if it would have to be all-encompassing, but in any case it would give cigarettes more purpose. I see in one of the changelogs that cigarettes will make JC immediately sober. I don't really understand the reasoning behind that but I guess it's fair enough to assume that smoking an ENTIRE pack at once may very well have a dramatic sobering effect. I've complained enough about stupid cigarettes for one thread anyway. Edited by: Renmazuo |
