Why can't Adam...

[danielrbrewster]

What are some things that you think Adam Jensen, realistically, should be able to do in terms of gameplay?

In Assassin's Creed, you couldn't swim (you die when u land in water, yet you can leap off buildings and survive). In Goldeneye, you couldn't jump. In Half-Life 1 & 2, you can't talk, for the entire game. People just order you around, and you have no choices to make.

Some things I think Adam should be able to do are:

-Shoot lights out to darken rooms
-Destroy weak materials realistically (blow holes in walls with explosives)
-Access the internet (of the Deus Ex 3 world).
-Lock doors behind him to keep pursuers out.
-Access all public areas (indoor and outdoor)

Smoke in a no smoking zone

[spm1138]

Hmmm.

Open windows.

Force door locks.

Take his sunglasses off.

Smoothtalk his way into places.

[13LACK13ISHOP]

Smoke and not die.
Prone
Lean
Knock on walls
Feign death(works when bodies are near by)
Climb on ledges
Hang of rails and ledges and pull ones self up to see
Roll and slide to cover
Lock doors
Move objects and block doors
Pickpocket
Use blankets and bottles to trick enemies into thinking bums and scruffy people are not dead but sleeping

[Malah]

Jump. And cast spells.

[Blade_hunter]

Look though his eyes when he takes cover and use medikits

[Jerion]

If the arm is strength augmented, then be able to powerpunch enemies and/or objects through locked doors to open them.

-Climb ropes;
-Throw objects at NPCs - meaning if a barrel is thrown at their faces, i hope they get KO;
-Hide inside a cardbox... ke ke ke XD. ok ok inside small spaces like closets and catering carts;
-Use fire hoses - against NPCs and to extinguish fire;
-Use objects as shield - doors, table tops...;
-Stun or deafen NPCs (temporarily);
-Glare or dazzle NPCs (temporarily) - with flashlights, reflected artificial/sunlight (if there is sunlight);
-Open an umbrella when it's rainy - I like to keep maximum visibility when using shades;
-Wipe his dirty feet before breaking into some guarded facility - I like to stay undetected.

-Activate fire-alarms, smoke-detectors, heat detectors (with his lighter) set some objects on fire to lure NPCs.

What about an in-game net browser????

[KSingh77]

Toss the soda machine through a window of some tall building if he got lemon instead of orange.

[IOOI]

^ LMAO

Updated my previous post

[Saphothere]

- Hot wire a vehicle
- clear a jammed gun
- Plant bugs
- Do parkour with appropriate skills, and/or mods

[IOOI]

Update 2:

-get injured and/or scarred (maybe temporarily or permanently if there's a way to treat/conceal them) - it might intimidate some NPCs (remember Anna, Gunther and Jordan).

[Blade_hunter]

-Use vehicles
-Climb trees
-Use his foot as a melee weapon
-Use handcuffs onto NPCs
-Swim
-Catch somebody
-Use random objects as weapons, like frying pans, bottles, forks, etc ...
-Shoot enemies limbs.

[IOOI]

UPDATE 3:

-beeing able to carry extra stuff in a bag - I'm still not sure how it could be balanced with the personal inventory, but lets say that it would be useful to carry some extras when moving between cities (unless we had to travel urgently to another city without the chance to retrieve the bag from our apartment). There could be some inconvenients while carrying a bag: stoping in security checkpoints; not beeing able to crawl into vents - of course we could exchange items from our personal inventory and then leave the bag behind - or we could crawl into vents with the bag strapped on the legs - movement would be reduced and there would be the extra annoyance of the noise, though it could be possible to leave the bag in the vent and continue moving freely and later push/pull the bag out.

Talking about vents, I hope there are multiple size vents - inside the smaller ones we shouldn't be able to turn around (we should only turn where it's allowed), though it would be possible to crawl back.

He should be soft and cuddly, with lots of firepower! And his eyes should be telescopes! No, periscopes! No microscopes! Can you come back to me?

I wonder if Adam is going to be the kind of guy who would blow smoke in bob page's face at the end of Deus Ex?


On topic I liked the climbing system they had in Deus Ex Invisible War.. that was cool.

[Blade_hunter]

-Use 8+ kind of ammo for a single weapon
-Have a wide choice between a lot of weapons, ammo, tools and many items.
-Use a gun as a melee weapon
-Use a scope with a pistol
-Have the choice between more than 5 hand grenades
-Upgrade skills
-Have more choices between lethal and non lethal weapons

I know something like this has been suggested, but we could choose to carry it or not to a mission and it should have limitations just like the personal inventory. The inconvenience is that it would make you slowdown - dependent on how much space is occupied or the weight of the objects.

[Red]

- suck my balls.

?

What? He can regenerate after that anyways, what are you looking at?

[Jerion]

Health regenerates. Dignity remains tarnished.

[IOOI]

Hell what the?

[auric]

Do everything Sam Fisher can in all Splinter Cells combine.
