Wow, now here's a rarity - a mod for the UE1 game, Deus Ex. (And if you haven't played it, for QAPete's sake, play the damn thing! It's awesome!) ModDB has posted a preview of a full TC for the modification, in the works for seven years, and called succinctly "The Nameless Mod."
If you're looking for a new spin on this oldschool favorite, go ahead and give it a shot.
You play as Trestkon, an intelligence agent with a mixed past who is called back from retirement to help the administration of a virtual community called Forum City. One of the most powerful Moderators, Deus Diablo, has vanished into thin air and it's your job to find him at all costs. In true Deus Ex fashion you're free to tackle this problem any way you see fit. The story starts off simple, giving you the choice to enlist your services in either one of the two major corporations: PlanetDeusEx or World Corp. Both offer completely different stories that will keep you entertained from start to finish. After a few main missions are under your belt your actions really start to turn heads within Forum City and you might find yourself thinking hard about conversation choices and vital mission outcomes. Side quests follow a similar setup where a large chunk can be completed by joining one of two other factions that really don't have much to do with the main story but still warrant additional play-throughs. The average game time for the main story clocks in at around 15 hours, so you might want to play this over a weekend to really digest the story.
