Unrelated, but Moby Dick was named after a real white whale named Mocha Dick, which was nicknamed after first being encountered near Mocha Island.

can@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoUnrelated, but deus ex randomized sounds like a great idea. It’s been so long I feel like I would have to replay the base game first.

we have a game mode called “Zero Rando” (no randomization) that’s basically vanilla gameplay
the Randomizer had so many compatibility fixes, QoL improvements, and bug fixes over the original game, this ended up being really useful for new first time players
since you’ve played before we also have “Zero Rando Plus” which is the same thing, but also includes the balance changes we’ve made for Randomizer
and we also have “Rando Lite” and “Rando Medium” to get started with the randomization stuff before going up to Normal Randomizer or Full Randomizer

How does this compare to other community patches in your opinion?

our “Zero Rando” makes way less changes to the gameplay than GMDX or Revision, which are often recommended to first time players but they’re actually totally different games from the original

How about Deus Ex: Transcended?
I think that was the patch I ended up using my first playthrough (I’m away from my computer at the moment or else I’d check), but I might want to use something else my second time.

I wish I remembered if my first playthrough was vanilla or not. I feel like it was. I can’t remember when it was exactly but it would have been when the game was already roughly 10 years old. Roughly maybe 2010-2012?
