A beginner`s questions topic

[Merrin]

Hey guys, i think the title is rather self-explanatory:

Whenever ive got a question concerning the depths of TNM ill post here.

first question:

Me needs a multitool. I just saved Silver Dragon and now need to infiltrate WC again. Ive got 3 now: the 1 Kashue gave me and 2 from the armory. But on my last try I had about 4 as I found some other MT somewhere else. But I dont remember where . Does someone know where I can find some other somewhere lying around ( in the first 3 areas )?

second:

where is the third red biocell in the partyzone? I found one at the end of the hall where the bot is patroulling and the other in some small crate in some chamber. Where is #3 ?


I know, I know, this is the spoiler-free-forum, but im mainly asking the experienced TNM-Players here, so there is no problem i guess. As i havent finished TNM myself, ill stay the hell away from the Spoiler-Zone

Ill be grateful for any help.

Evenin` to you all

Answer to question 2 there's one in the safe there !

Question One I don't know but do you know about the multi tool / lock pick exploit? Also youcan buy them at Ravings!

[Merrin]

Ummmmm noes.... i dunno about that, but i dunno... ive got a weak character, and telling me cheats might cause me to...cheat. So thanks, but keep it to yourself plz, maybe ill come back to it later


..oh and ive got only about a 100c left, i bought a thermo-optic camo.

Good as gold. I suppose it is cheating but I've been doing that from the Deus Ex days when the need arose. Yep, someone with a better memory might be able to help re Q1.

well actually, lockpicks and multitools were never a problem in good ol DX, for me. Even on reallistic difficulty.
Or at least I suppose its realistic difficulty, cause thats something that bugged me for years:

Is it just a scratch on my CD or does DX have the easiest "Very Hard"-Mode in the History of gaming?
The only difference I felt, was that enemies needed one, two shots more to be killed off, but otherwise...

you know only deep scratches will affect your disc?

Not nearly as difficult as playing TNM on punishing imo. Now that can be hard.

You have just had your first encounter with the wind up merchant extraordinaire of OTP

Hey Merrin, welcome to the forums! I hope we'll be able to help you with everything you need to enjoy TNM

well actually, lockpicks and multitools were never a problem in good ol DX, for me. Even on reallistic difficulty.

Deus Ex's designers had a slightly different approach to skilled items (lockpicks and multitools) than we did, we wanted the Electronics and Lockpicking skills to actually pay off, so those items are a lot more rare in TNM, unless you pay for them in Raving's. On the flip side, you'll almost never actually need any of these items to progress through the game, and when you do, they'll always be supplied obviously.

So uh, the point I'm stumbling my way towards is that you don't need multitools to infiltrate WorldCorp for PDX, you can get yourself clearance if you piece together the information in the lobby area of the building. Let us know if you need more help than that, but give it a shot first, and see if you can solve it yourself

Actually all DX's difficulty settings do is what our "Player health" setting does if you go into the Custom difficulty setting when you're starting a game of TNM: it raises the amount of damage you take from enemy weapons, making you more vulnerable on higher difficulties.

hmmm, well i guess its a bit late for me since everyone in the WC Lobby-area wants me dead now, but yeah thanks

So you kill them first, or you make sure they don't see you.

Or throw a smoke Grenade and run?

[Merrin]

mmmh, okay i give up:

How do I piece together the entire Clearance thingy in the lobby area? I know the login WCSecLogin, I know the username ALancaster but thats about all the data screens would give away and it sure wouldnt work on the security console there.

Okay remember WCSecLogin, later Evil Invasion will give the password. Unfortunately I can't remember what it is.!

Edit: that will then give a level 3 clearance hence no need for mt or lp!
