Her vision ... is not augmented.

PS Bitmap I hope you've seen this:
(I forget if you're a fan of the original though?)




I'm actually replaying Invisible War myself right now with a nice texture pack and everything, I still don't get the hate on this game. It's horribly optimized and has loading screens out the ass... but other than that, still pretty solid.

Oh God I have seen that and instantly re downloaded the original on this computer. Even downloading a buttload of mods and this mod actually sealed it for me.

Nice dude, get this stuff for the main game:

http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/#downloads

- That DX10 Renderer
- Deus Exe
- Shifter v 1.8.4 (seems to be a fanmade assortment of bugfixes, tweaks, etc)
- New Vision (new 75% complete version came out just days ago)
- Deus Ex Enhanced (higher resolution UI, text, etc, took awhile to get used too but I like it)

Well I just quoted myself from above, so maybe you saw that already. Heh.

Yeah the one thing that I am looking forward to is playing the original in DX10. Instead of the original DX8 or whatever the hell. Still looked nice after all these years!

Now shifter also ads a balance issue in the game. I think it explains more in the link provided.

DE Enhanced just makes the resolution super rediculous and even supports multiple monitors!

I didn't know that about Enhanced, haha nice.

You definitely want New Vision! Updates just about most of the world textures.

It's kind of pathetic how well the original game runs (especially with that DX10 renderer), compared to Invisible War which runs like ass. First off, I had to add an exception to DEP so it wouldn't crash upon start up, had to get a mod to make widescreen work (okay that's not anything to totally complain about), and then there's loading screens out the ass like every 5-10 minutes, and in Win7 whenever that happens the game minimizes like it just crashed on you... but no it's okay just loading another area! Oh and it crashed on me once when I quicksaved.

These issues don't happen in the original.

I hear Thief III uses the same engine as Invisible War so now I'm kind of scared to play it.

The difference is that Thief III is a good, solid game.

*still enjoying IW for it is despite all these horrible technical issues*

lol.

I guess most importantly I have to ask, does it have the onslaught of loading screens and insanely small area's?

I tend to hear Thief III is kind of weak sauce compared to the first two in general though. Who knows. I have tried absolutely everything there is to try in attempting to get the original Thief running on Win7 though, but to no avail. I even downloaded both the original version and the Gold version, did all the tweaks and config edits I could, everything... but it still crashes after like 5 minutes of playing. I think Thief 2 ended up working, but it doesn't seem right to jump into that one first. I guess I might do it though since it doesn't look like I'll be playing Thief anytime soon.

I own Thief III on Steam though, so I'll probably get to it sometime.

Yeah, I enjoyed Thief III for the most part, but T2 remains my favourite in the series. I prefer T3 over the first one, however.

So in your opinion is it cool to play 2 without having played 1? Maybe I can just watch an LP of 1 if there's one up there... haha. Because I did play the first level of 2 and LOVED it (I love old Eidos stuff), but someone yelled at me for playing that one first. But I just can't get 1 to work, lol.

If you have tried everything and just can't get 1 to work, then it's forgivable to skip to 2. At least in my opinion.
