Your response was about what I expected, and I don't really think your wrong to limit the scope of your mod. Still, yes, I think the smaller changes you talked about, or at least some point cost changes, would probably be in scope and desirable.

Since your happy to at least read, I shall expand on skills, on the basis that their should be at least a plausible case for taking any skill to Master. Electronics & Lockpicking: The pricing vs utility of these skills is totally wrong. AFAIK, the vast majority of players take these to trained and t...

Random feedback on skills. Environmental training- the ability to switch off these items is really a big balance change. I think this skill is probably now too cheap, and could reasonably be increased to the same cost as demolitions. Medicine is still of very limited use- it could happily replace En...

Glad to hear you are still working on it. Of course, I've played lots of mods, and I'm sure I still will as a change of pace is always fun. However, this is the one that I consider currently provides the definitive "Deus Ex vanilla+" experience, my base install, and which I recommend to other fans I...

I haven't subbed because I think it would email me all your posts, not just the newsletters? So I thought I would write here to say I'm reading and thanks for writing, its a useful resource for keeping those of us who spend less time in the community up to date.

Obviously in real terms remote connection and remote transmission of power are radically different but its nanoscience land, add a line to handwave it. This makes the most sense given your stated goal, as at the moment you have basically made the spy drone better than ever for EMP spam. I think you ...

Sorry for the double post, but above was already quite long. I'll possibly edit any new thoughts as I run through here. Spy drone: It really did need the cost decrease to be a worthwhile selection, so the change in generally good. However, you have shifted most of the bioelectric cost to an upfront ...

Yes, I was going to go with trained from the start but I thought I'd leave it for liberty island to see the changes, and some jumps I don't even think of as falls were giving a little fall damage. It wasn't a problem because a tiny bit of leg damage isn't, just seemed a little sensitive. The 5% slow...

Currently running through with this, so thought I'd put up some thoughts now and as I go through. Just on general principles, I think some of the changes- in particular, the balance changes and the increased enemy difficulty- are beyond what a patch would do. I like them, so thats not a criticism of...
