You're not allowed to kill anyone unless you've stood on their head. You're only allowed to use melee weapons and gas grenades.

You'll have to be a ninja, jumping and climbing, dropping down on people from above and melee'ing them.

Don't use any explosives. It is possible.

Use the console to spawn the DTS at the very beginning of the game, and drop all other belongings. You may use no weapons, items, augs, or bots. You may only use the DTS and the keyring. No healing the entire game, no using any augs, no using any other weapons.

Only use throwing knives. Do NOT cheat and spawn any, just use the ones you find.

So, you know: choose targets carefully..

Another interesting idea is not to upgrade your Computer skill or hack keypads at all. Forces you to look around for passwords and codes :)

Well, you can kill walton simons about seven times over (equivalently) with a single DTS hit to the head, so it's not terribly surprising. Headshots == win in DX.

The main issue here is that there are something like...40 shuriken in the entirety of DX.

How about using Shifter/hardcore/smoke?

Those mods certainly add new experiences, and sometimes even create new possibilities for specialty/restriction playthroughs.

As for Vanilla deus ex, lets see... what's an original playthrough idea?...

No arms playthrough?

Only use mundane healing items.(No medkits, Regen, med-bot.)

Carry nothing but a flamethrower, crowbar, and fire extinguishers.

Play the entire game in matrix mode or drunk mode? No, both!

opposite of Jonas'. You can't use computers, keypad codes, or nano keys; you have to always use lockpicks, and multitools. (unless you need to use a code, key, or computer)

sometimes I think they purposely don't put passwords or usernames in maps. Think this is true?

It should be possible to complete the game without hacking or multitooling, I think.

Any door that you absolutely NEED to get through, if it's locked will have a key, if it's keypad protected will have a code to find. Most of them that you HAVE to get through aren't pickable or hackable anyway.

Try playing it talking to as few NPCs as possible. I think you have to take part in at least 29 interactive conversations to complete the game.
