I particularly liked the discussions they had about the Minion worker
unions, and their discussions about job satisfaction being a minion, and
past employers.
Yeah, I would get guilty some times, considering they were average joes that
one could relate to (ie Mother-in-law trouble, etc.). Hoewever, one always
had the option of a 'Judo Chop', instead of a 9MM bullet to the head. I
particularly liked being able to run the minions over with the motorcycle.
Deus Ex had a number of non-lethal weapons one could use- stunner, night
stick, tranq darts, and tear gas. But it also had excellent sniper weapons.
I would get guilty taking out minions from 2000 yards with a single .50 cal
bullet(ummm...not really!). However, the best weapon in Deus Ex was the
nanotech-edged sword.
Getting back to the original thread, the only American in the game (NOLF),
was what Europeans probably view the average American male to be- brash,
charming in a Elvis-sort of way, egotistical, chauvinistic, and inherently
ignorant and evil (I loved his Camo/Discoteque polyester shirt).
Maybe us American men who played this obviously British-slanted game, with a
Heroine instead of a Hero, should protest!
