A strange happening

Post by Xesum »

I was walking back from the llama temple after Delivering the body. And I tried to open up the book store doors, then it lagged a bit, and then a pane of glass shattered randomly setting off the alarms, and then a Firewall started to shoot at a board guest.

What the hell?
Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.

Is it not obvious? You have entered TNM's area of...

The Twilight Zone.

Sounds rather normal for deus ex. It has the weirdest bugs when it comes to AI like that as well. Any number of possibilities what could have happened.
I exist within the power lines...for some odd reason.

Well, nothing like that has ever happened before to me, and it really made me go "What the fuck?" Out loud, even though nobody was there to hear it. That's how odd it was for me.

yeah, that board guest probably walked into the glass. Although it doesn't apply to the player, for every other character, it shatters. Try opening a drawer with a chair in front of it.

Boom! Actually sometimes, the chair moves... but not often.

Yes, for nothing makes sense in...

The Twilight Zone

The game logic had a brain fart and it created weirdness, let's leave it at that. Unless you like The Twilight Zone reasoning better. BTW have you ever seen that show? It was one of the few TV shows I used to watch.

So basically, it's the twilight zone of the never ending stupid Unreal engine?

Essentially. You have to forgive it its oddities though. When they wrote it they probably wont anticipating games using it ten years later.

Welcome to the forums. Lotsa fun watching a guy in a lab coat obliterate a glass door you just spent two precious lockpicks opening :(

You do not find...

The Twilight Zone,

it is rather obviously through...

The Scary Door

...over yonder, just past...

The Scary Zone.

Okay, the joke is probably getting old now. *Stops*
