New Game.Begins a com-pletely new game, starting with difficulty level and character creation. Save Game(only active if you go to the Main Menu from gameplay). SeeSaving & Loading, p. 3. Load Game.SeeSaving & Loading, p. 3. Settings.A variety of options which allow you to fully customize your controls and settings. For more details, seeSettings, p. 18. Training.Takes you to an introductory tutorial training mission. It is not necessary to complete the training mission before playingDeus Ex,but training is strongly recommended for first-time players.
Play Intro.Replays opening cinematic. Credits.Displays the game’s credits. Back To Game.Returns you to your game in progress. This button is only active if you go to the Main Menu from gameplay. Exit.Closes the game and returns you to your Windows desktop. You will
be prompted to confirm this selection before the game closes. You can return to this screen at any time during play, by hittingq. Pausing the Game If you wish to pause the game without quitting, hit p. Hit it again to return to the game. You can also useqto call the Main Menu or1or 2to call the Information screens. The game will remain paused as long as the Main Menu (or one of its sub-menus) or an infor-mation screen remains up. Saving & Loading You can save or load a game from the Main Menu. The Save Game option is only active when you enter the Main Menu from gameplay. You won’t be able to save your game during a conver-sation or InfoLink message. NOTE.You can have as many saved games as you want in Deus Ex. If you like to save frequently, it is recommended that you periodically delete some of your older saved games, in order to save hard drive space. You can also con-serve drive space by overwrit-ing existing saved games, rather than creating new

ones. The Save/Load windows have the following options. To the left of the screen is a scrollable list of all the current-ly saved games, listed chrono-logically with the most recent at the top. The saves are identified by name and date/time of save. The default name of a save is its in-game location, but you can rename any save by clicking on it to highlight the name, then just typing in a new one. Click on a save in the list to select it, so that you can load it, delete it or save a new game over it. Rename the new save game, if you want it to have a different name. If you don’t highlight an existing save before pressing Save, the game will create a new save at the top of the list. To the right of the screen is a window that includes a small, monochrome image of your view at the time of the save, and the location of that save. At the bottom are three buttons: Delete.Deletes a selected save, erasing it from your hard drive.
Save/Load.Depending on the screen, tells the game to go ahead and load or save the
selected game. Cancel.Returns you to the Main Menu. There is a built in Quick Save/Load feature which allows you to save your game using hot keys. Use numpad +to Quick Save, and numpad-to Quick Load while in-game. Note:Pressing Quick Save will overwrite your previous Quick Save. Combat Difficulty Level When you start a new game ofDeus Ex, the first thing you have to do is select the Combat Difficulty Level for your new game. There are four settings — Easy, Medium, Hard and Realistic. At higher difficulty levels you will take significantly more damage in combat. There are no other differences between difficulty levels. Once you select a difficulty level, you cannot change it without starting a new game. CHARACTER CREATION Before beginning play, you must complete your game character. You are automati-cally taken to the Character Creation screen any time you
start a new game. You may replace the name in the “real name” field by clicking on the name menu and typing a new name. This will become your “real” name in the game, but you will still usually be addressed by your code name, J.C. Denton. Your code name cannot be changed. There are three buttons at the bottom of the Character Creation screen: Reset to Defaults.Undoes all choices and returns your character to default appear-ance and skill values. Start Game.Saves your choices and starts the game. Your appearance is set, and you can only make further modifications to your skills through normal advance-ment — seeSkills, p. 8. Cancel.Returns you to the Main Menu without starting a new game. Appearance Using the arrow buttons beneath the character por-trait, you can select among several combinations of hair color and skin tone. The portrait that’s visible when you exit the Character Creation screen will deter-mine your appearance throughout the game. Skills
There are 11 skills in the game. Each skill has four lev-els of mastery — Untrained, Trained, Advanced and Master. You begin the game with each skill at Untrained Level (except for Weapons: Pistol, which begins at Trained Level), and you are given 5000 points with which to increase your skills. The cost for the next level in each skill is given beside its name. For more information, seeSkills, p. 8. A small window next to the buttons keeps a running total of your current unspent skill points. There are two buttons beneath the skill list. Upgrade.Highlight a skill and clickGPUEDARto increase that skill one level, if you have suf-ficient points available. Downgrade.Highlight a skill and click on this button to reduce that skill by one level (minimum level, Untrained), and return the point value of that level to your point pool. While creating your charac-ter, you can downgrade your automatic level of Pistol to increase your point total for other skills, but this is not recommended for first time players. Downgrade is only available at the start of a new game.

GREETINGS, AGENT DENTON InDeus Exyou are agent “J.C. Denton,” a nano-aug-mented special covert opera-tive for UNATCO, the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition. Passive Readouts Your internal nano-proces-sors constantly make diag-nostic checks on your physi-cal status. This information is transmitted directly to your optic nerve, in the form of a passive status readout, which appears along both sides of the screen. Damage Monitor In the upper left corner of your view is a diagram of your body. This color-coded graphic displays the approximate degree of damage you have sustained in any given part of your body. The colors, from best to worst status, areGreen (near-perfect health),Pale Green, Yellow(moderate
damage),Orange, Red(seri-ously damaged),Black (totally incapacitated). Only your arms and legs can appear as black … if your head or torso receive this much damage, you’re dead. However, damaged arms and legs will affect your aim, run and jump abilities. Bio-Energy Bar.This bar, to the left of the body dia-gram, tracks the amount of bio-energy currently avail-able to power your nano-augmentations. If the bar goes all the way to the top of the diagram’s head, your bio-energy is fully charged. Air Supply Bar.This bar, to the right of the body dia-gram, is only visible when you’re underwater. The longer you go without air, the smaller this bar grows.
When it is fully depleted, you begin to take physical damage from drowning. If you get a breath of fresh air, even for a moment, this bar will be fully replenished. Environmental Hazard Readouts.These icons on the left side of the screen flash only when you’re in an environmental hazard capa-ble of doing physical dam-age. Environmental hazards
include radioactivity, electric- additional space apart from ity, poison gas and fire. your inventory.

accessed your information screens, you can move between the screens by clicking on the tabs at the top of the screen. You can map other information screens to hotkeys using Settings, Keyboard/Mouse. There are eight Information Screens. Note.The Information Screens appear translucent by default, so you can retain a (rather dim) view of your surroundings while in them. The game is paused while an information screen is open. Certain menu options will have a letter underlined. Pressa plus the underlined letter to select those options. Inventory This screen records every usable object you are carry-ing on your person at the moment. Your inventory contains 30 slots, and each object you can carry takes up one or more slots. For more on managing and arranging your inventory, seeInventory Management, p. 12. Click on any object in your inventory to move or view it. When you click on an object, a description of it appears in the window to the right. You can move objects around on your inventory grid by clicking and dragging, provid-
ed there’s an empty space large enough to hold the object you wish to move. The position of the objects on the grid won’t affect their avail-ability in gameplay. You may need to rearrange your inven-tory (or drop objects) to make room for a large object. You can also drag objects between your items-at-hand bar and your inventory. Drag an object out of items-at-hand to remove it, or drag an object from inventory to an items-at-hand box to place it in that box (replacing any item that’s already there). Remember, items-at-hand are not an addition to your inventory — they are items in your inventory that are more easily accessible. Stacks.Some objects, includ-ing food and several other useful items, are stackable. That is, many objects of that type can occupy a single inventory slot. If the object in your inventory is actually a stack, the number of items in the stack appears next to the item. There is a stack limit to weapons such as LAMs, EMPs and gas grenades. Nanokey ring.This window shows your nanokey ring, and the number of nanokeys it currently holds. Click on it to display a list of all your nanokeys, in the order they were found (most recent first).
