It just wouldn't be right if I didn't include an FAQ page. Here are a few for starters.
Q: What systems are supported?
A: I have tested MUTATIONS with Windows 98 and Windows XP (Home Edition). It has not been tested
with Windows Vista. I am not able to support the variety of systems out there. Basically, if the original
Deus Ex game is running on your system, then MUTATIONS will also run.
Q: Are there new models?
A: NO. Same old models you have seen before. Skins, textures, and properties have been changed on some characters.
Q: How about new weapons?
A: The crossbow has been modified and the flare darts changed to act as a more potent tranquilizer dart against certain characters (NPC). It still counts as a non=lethal take down.
Q: Why are you calling this a beta release?
A: While the game play is set in stone and all known bugs removed (famous last words), it was just decided to release it as beta for a while. The game is complete and fully playable. No SHOW STOPPERS, I hope.
Q. This is an old game. Why bother?
A: Still one of the best games out there. Though hard to find. I did it for the learning process and the enjoyment of creating something of my own. With the announcement of Deus Ex 3, the game might draw some new interest.
Q: Are the maps new?
A: All but 2 maps are the of my own design. The 2 maps I pulled from the original game are small and heavily modified.
Q: Are there voice overs?
A: Only the standard AI barks. I haven't the resources or the talent to do voice acting.
Q: Are there new skills or new augs?
A: Nope! None needed.
Q: Are the mutant tranqs effective against normals?
A: No! Mutant tranqs only affect mutants. Standard tranqs are effective against normals, but not against mutants.
Q. What's the best weapon kill a normal (Green) Greasel?
A. The best weapon for killing a normal Greasel is the Flamethrower. You can also use the crossbow with standard Traquilizer darts. After firing the 1st shot, dodge its attack until the tranq wears off, then immediately shoot him with another. Again dodging his attacks. You get some skill points for this method. Using projectile weapons waste a lot of ammo.
Q. What's the best weapon to kill a mutant (reddish) greasel?
A. Mutant Greasels are flameproof. Use the crossbow loaded with Mutant Tranquilizer Darts. It takes only one (1) shot. You still need to dodge its attack until the tranq takes affect. You will get skill points for this takedown. Mutant Greasels regenerate health. That's why it's more difficult to take down with projectile weapons.
Q. What's the best method to kill a normal gray?
A. Grays are flameproof, but otherwise use the method described above for normal Greasel.
Q. Whats the best method to kill a Mutant (bluish) Gray?
A. See killing a mutant Grease above. However, standard tranqs will take 3 shots. Yeah, these things regenerate as well.
