J.C. Denton, nano-augmented government agent in the UNATCO task force, is being deployed to his first mission. The terrorist organization known as the NSF has attacked Liberty Island. J.C. must meet up with his brother and capture the terrorist leader.
Have we mentioned that a side-effect of J.C.'s augmentation is that he is schizophrenic?
(Explanation: To make this Let's Play of Deus Ex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex) with the ShifterPlus mod (http://darkreality.googlepages.com/shifterplus) more interesting, anyone in this guild can post as an item in my inventory, which will be listed at the end of each post. J.C. believes these items to actually be speaking to him and values their advice.)
Note: The "forty" is alcohol. Also, I advise anyone who wishes to take long-term items... you become your entire stack of that item, as well as any future copies of that item I pick up. And don't be a consumable other than a medkit or biocell, because soy food, soda, liquor, and candy will rapidly be removed from my inventory, never to be seen again. You cannot take multiple items unless there are a lot of free items and no people grabbing them.

I got off the boat and was surprised to find a forty and a can of soda.

I grabbed them for later and put them next to my handgun and my riot prod in my coat.
Alex Jacobson, my contact at UNATCO HQ, filled me in as I found a crowbar and some boxes with strange markings.

I broke the crates open with the crowbar and grabbed the binoculars and lockpick I found. I'm not sure why such small items were in such enormous crates, but lockpicks are useful. I'm not so sure about the binoculars... They seem a bit... useless. I can see pretty well. After all, my vision is augmented.

Over the rail, I saw some metal glinting in the dim light under the dock. Paul was approaching; I asked him to wait and went down the staircase to the water...

As I'd thought! Underwater boxes! I smashed them open with Mr. Crow, grabbing a bio-electric energy cell and a hacking multitool. I'm not sure why either of those were underwater, or how they were waterproofed, but they were both in perfect condition.
Paul was waiting for me.

I supposed that would be an ideal time to talk to him.
Inventory:
Crowbar
Riot Prod
Pistol
Lockpick
Multitool
Binoculars
Bio-electric Cell
Medkit
Forty
Soda
(Note, I've seen two LPs of Deus Ex after a few playthroughs, and I know the game pretty well, but... when I'm letting a Council of the Inventory guide my actions, it may get difficult for me to make a frontal assault with a crossbow and seven throwing knives. But worry not! As this is not a Roguelike, I am not above savescumming and trying to same strategy until I make it work!
EDIT: Also, this would be a good time for people to start speaking as items, because in the next conversation I'll be choosing between a Sniper Rifle, a GEP Gun (Rocket Launcher), and a Crossbow. Never mind that I can almost immediately pick up a crossbow and a sniper if I choose to kill/KO people.)
-
I don't quite understand how this inventory talking thing works, Do i just say that i am a "insert item here" and start giving you input on what to do? If that is the case that I will join as the charger prod. My advise being not to kill anyone, stun them with me or tranq darts from the crossbow.
-
That would be exactly how it works, but if you were to post "In-character" that would be perfectly okay. I'll also have dialogues with the Inventory during my posts, based on how you've spoken before.
The Charger Prod is a be A_Fey_Dwarf. Would you like to name yourself differently?
-
I'd like to join as the sniper rifle and advise you to drown the unbelievers in a sea of blood. :)
-
I'm the Soda.
"DRINK ME! DRINK ME! DRIIIINK ME!"
-
Little, you are awesome. :D
I'll be working on the next segment by this time tomorrow. Until then, feel free to sign up for items (and if you do, put in your Crossbow/Sniper/GEP Gun votes).
-
Ok This is a brilliant idea ;D
And I shall be the crowbar an ordinary tool with dreams and ambitions...of world domintation he will constanly "try" to get you do wicked deeds and take control of course i use try because it is a crowbar so obviously it's up to you whether to listen :D
-
oh and sniper
-
I lay claim to the psychotic binocs. These binoculars are the little "devil" on JC's shoulder, constantly whispering to take the easy route of just killing everyone. I vote for the sniper rifle as being binocs i feel a kinship towards this particular item.
-
I'm the GEP gun. Use me when ever you get attacked, by anything. Including people. And cats. I'm the much worse Devil on your augmented shoulder.
"Use me in inappropriate times! All the time!"
-
That British guy's LP from the Penny Arcade forums was good. But hey, what's another Deus Ex between friends? Maybe if we just keep playing it long enough, it'll evolve into a new game.
I'll claim the Fire Extinguisher as my avatar. "Gotta love that RPG OCD amirite? Crazy prepared, that's the name of the game. Seriously, what am I doing here? You'll need me like once, guaranteed, and you'll probably forget you have me. My life sucks, I'm just wasting space, somebody love me."
-
Once again, I vote sniper. I get two votes.
Also, I enthusiastically suggest that more than one person lay claim to the sniper rifle (or GEP gun, or crossbow, or etc), so as to maximize insanity. I mean, really, who doesn't like inanimate objects with split personalities?

Works for me. I'll be the second personality of the Sniper Rifle, that also wants you to drown the unbelievers in a sea of blood, but in a slightly different method than any plan Inaluct suggests. I will also endlessly badger you with such questions as "Did you do it yet?" "Are you doing it now?" "Why aren't you doing it?" "Are you listening?" "Do it." "Do it!" "DO IT!" "WHY AREN'T YOU DOING IT YET!?" "WHY!?"
Oh and whenever we run into someone, I badger you about killing them, ad nauseum.
I guess I'm the third sniper vote. ;D
-
I lay a third claim to the Sniper Rifle.
"No, no, don't you see? If you go and kill everyone, you'll only let the terrorists win! You don't want to be a terrorist, nobody does. Killing is immoral, you cannot deny people natural rights. Nobody deserves to die!
Instead, maim everybody you encounter. Not kill them. By maiming them, you showcase American might and power, manitan a level of self-defense, while at the same time, respecting the individual's right to life."
-
Oh, damn. School complications.
I'll start tomorrow's update as soon as I get home, then, I guess. While wearing sunglasses on a night mission. 8)
-
I claim the humble pistol.
Pistol: "Hey, hey you! Yes, you with the sunglasses! I mean, seriously, what's up with the wearing the sunglasses at night?! Anyways, you fighting the terrorists, right? Right? Well why put yourself in danger, you might get hurt. Don't take unnecessary risks, you see what I mean? Look, look, over there, you see that security bot, and that military UNESCO guy? Not to mention your brother too. Why not just let THEM take care of the terrorists? What, they don't want to leave this place and get closer to the statue?? Those lazy bums! In that case, just use me to shoot the bad guys from afar, and lure them here to be minced by your 'friends'."
-
"The GEP gun. For all your Gepping needs. GEP your friends, GEP your neighbours, GEP your family! The GEP gun. Now free from selected Agent Brothers. Don't choose that sniper! How will you get passed those security bots? Hopefully not trying to tranquilize them?!?!!?! No, use the GEP gun. And fucking MURDER EVERYTHING! GEP one today."
Yeah, my GEP guns going to try sell itself to you... all the time.

Gameplay/screenshots done; in a little while I'm gonna convert/upload my screenshots for your viewing pleasure, write out the (extensive) dialogue, and post.
-
Unfortunately this game doesn't have enough Police brutality, people don't bend over in pain when I baton the hell out of them.
-
I say you shoot the corporal in the face, just to take his 10mm ammo.
