They're ignorant to think they're better than anyone, so you have to remind them that you're better than them? Oh that's hilarious.
It's not that far-fetched if you really think about it. Being a modder means you are done playing the game and you want to do more to it then just play, you want to modify it. It's like an office building: people can work there (the players) or people who are tired of working there can manage and modify the building (modders). This doesn't mean that we are higher, although it can. It depends on how much you actually like the game to proceed. Sure, a player with more will to play will definitely beat a modder who has no will.
You know catac, Deus Ex is a game after all and it is meant to be played.
Who says? Who says if you buy it you HAVE to play it?
Therefore I am not modding it but playing it, and in that I have certainly made more progress than you have.
That's a laugh and a half. Playing DX simply means your just playing a game with your friends, your having some fun etc. Modding means work, you need to do lots of stuff outside and inside of DX then show it off or have some people test it out. It is
impossible for a player to make more progress than a modder. Impossible. Modders are some of the smartest people, as are players. But if you look at what players have been giving to DX and what modders have been giving to DX, ie progress, modders go drastically off the scale. I'm not saying players do nothing, they are there to play and keep the game alive, but in terms of how much you actually do for the game, and how much you sacrificed, how much effort you put into it etc. modders will most likely win. It's because of the factor that modders edit the game while players do not. Not such a crazy idea if you think about it. And
because modders edit the game, they make more progress based on what they did to the game.
Third, without auggers Deus Ex would not be what it is meant to be. If the creators, or the famous modders that you obviously idolize with your full heart, meant Deus Ex to be played without augmentations (no-augs) they would not have created them at all.
Augs is just a unique add-on to the game that makes it different from the rest. They didn't want it to be played with or without, that's why they let you choose and not gave you augmentations in the first place. It's called role playing game. You can choose to have augs or not.
Please consider this before you type something stupid once again: when you played the single player you saw several blue bottles containing different kind of liquid, augmentations. They were there to be used to enhance your performance, not to be left on the ground.
I played the game several times, more times with augs then without. I'm not ignorant of the cannisters.
What you and your pals here are trying to do is to modify Deus Ex to be something completely else, Newb Ex.
No, what "me and my pals" are trying to do is modify the game so we can make it our own unique game. You can try something different, there's more choices to make, etc. Tbh playing the same old boring augs again and again and yet again gets repetitive, so that's why DX was made editable. If your theory proves out, the staff would've never made DX editable, ie closed source.
Done with this topic, too. You can go nuts now again.
I don't think this is because your high and mighty, I think this is mainly because your a coward.
Keep in mind that I'm not higher than anyone here. Maybe I have made some progress more than some people, but that's not an important factor. I'm not disrespecting augs, some of my best friends are auggers. Just like you, Messiah, have a passion for augs, I have a passion for modding. And when these two collide you can bet your ass there will be debates like this.
