Is it possible to beat Deus Ex without upgrading any skills or installing gameplay-changing augmentations? Join me on this journey and experience all the trials and tribulations of an entirely basic and unquestionably unimpressive JC Denton as he struggles his way through the excellent story, levels and game design that is Deus Ex.
RIP Bob.
Massive thanks to‪@Nerbit13098‬, ‪@hbomberguy‬and ‪@Civvie11‬ for making videos that inspired me to have a go at my own gaming challenge content!

I know the game well enough to know that the answer is definitely yes, but I'll never be good enough at the game to do it myself

Nah it wasn’t that bad! But it’s also not as fun as being able to play with augs and upgraded skills. I actually had to play it all over again normally after this run to not feel blasphemous to the game.

The free mod of Revision has extinguisher better than ppr spray due to some dead bugs on range vs stagger time.

Really appreciate this challenge run! It definitely looks hard to complete the game without skills, even on the Easiest difficulty. I have some questions on the run: - From my experience with Deus Ex, even removing the Pistol skill at the start of the game will still give one level of Pistol at the start of the game; Warlockracy and other RU-vidrs note this in their videos. Is this a different patched version to take away this bug? - Another question I had was in relation to sniper rifles. Was there a consideration to take a sniper rifle or scoped pistol to deal with high-durability enemies? (MJ12 Commandos, MIB and WIB agents) Or does the lack of accuracy without skills make their use more prohibitive? - I've also never seen the skill point loss from destroying passive Walton Simons or the energy bots (noted in the A51 part). I've done the same thing in A51 and never saw a point decrease...is this in a certain patch or modded version of the game, because I've never seen that happen?
@ChrisTries
@ChrisTries 6 месяцев назад
Hey thanks for watching! Let me see how best to answer your questions! So I think for the most part the use of the SHIFTER mod has fixed the pistol skill bug (as it’s clear to see pistols remains untrained throughout) as well as the additional skill point gains/losses I got from certain actions, which wouldn’t grant/remove in ‘vanilla’ DX. As I wasn’t using skills it didn’t matter if I gained extra compared to ‘vanilla’ DX as I wasn’t spending them on skills. As for scoped combat, the lack of any weapon skills made it quite unbearable, even with the target reticule at its most accurate, the weapon sway was too great for any meaningful use. For the most part I used rockets or melee given their high damage output and/or area of damage effect making accuracy a secondary consideration. Again thanks for watching and taking the time to engage!

You mention the swimming skill and then say the game rewards head shots, which is a shifter/biomod thing that removes specifically the swimming skill? The fact they are both talked about within the span of a few seconds makes me think that was on purpose to specifically target Deus Ex no lifes, which it worked. Good video though, I think im going to do a similar challenge once im done playing the game twice.

I did this years ago, so Yes. I've also beat the game in Matrix mode, in pacifist mode, in modes where I can only use certain classes of weapons, etc. My question is: can you max out every skill in one playthrough? There's a LOT of skill points to get.

@@ChrisTries Beat it in Matrix Mode. It'll be confusing at first, but you'll get used to it. (There's 2 options here, with and without shadows. When you activate the mode, there'll be no shadows, but if you save/reload, it'll load the shadows and the matrix texture...which might make it easier. Either way, it's something no other game I know of has.) I did enjoy the video though!

Yes? That's why Revision has achievements for doing playthrough without any skills leveled or an achievement for beating the game without any augs. I did this playthrough just today infact, I also did other achievements like completing the game under 10 hours, no weapon upgrades, no healing/recharging from heal/energy bots, and lemme tell ya, it almost makes me hate the game for playing it that way 😅 However it still IS possible, just very tedious and you have to run a lot and use your silenced weapons a lot to distract enemies(I was also doing no stunning enemies achievement and no killing(except Anna Navara) achievement so you can imagine how torturous those 9~ hours were 😅. Good video nonetheless
