" 1 INSTALLING & STARTING To install Deus Ex, insert the game CD into your CD-ROM drive. [. . . ] You can place items from your inventory into your items-at-hand slots as described in Inventory, p. B or the right mouse button will return an item to your inventory without using it, emptying your hand. Note that the right mouse button will only work if you are not focusing on a usable object (like a door or button -- see Focusing, p. Stackable items include grenades, food, medkits, biocells, lockpicks and nano-tools. You can only have one slot full of a given stackable item at any time. If you have your slot full, and you find additional items of that type, the game will refuse to pick them up until you reduce the number in your stack. 6. Look up R Center view F Turn right C V Look down Move backward S Turn left Strafe right D Crouch X Z 11 Multiple Items. You can carry more than one of some non-stackable items (including most of the self-powered items; see below), each in a separate slot. For other objects (including most weapons), you can put only one in inventory -- if you try to pick up another, the game will tell you that you already have one. (However, it will add the ammo from the second weapon to your inventory, if applicable. ) Object Size. Several objects, particularly large weapons, take up several slots in your inventory. Note that however many slots a weapon takes up in your inventory, it will only take up a single box in your items-at-hand. Inventory Management There is no place to store items between missions, other than in your inventory. If you go back to the same location in different missions, anything you left behind will be gone. Therefore, it is extremely important that you take only those items that you expect to find most useful. Your choices will have a great impact on your strategy and character development throughout the game. Game essential items cannot be discarded. Weapon Upgrades Reloadable ranged weapons can be upgraded in a number of ways. To upgrade a weapon, drag the upgrade nanokit over the weapon in your inventory that you wish to upgrade. Once a weapon is upgraded, that upgrade cannot be removed or transferred. To see which weapons an upgrade will work on, click on it in the inventory. Some upgrades (e. g. , sights and silencers) can only be used once on a given weapon. Others (e. g. , accuracy, speed, recoil and clip mods) can be used multiple times for cumulative effect (although the effect often diminishes as more identical upgrades are added). The sniper rifle comes with a telescopic sight, while the stealth pistol and minicrossbow have no need for a silencer weapon upgrade. Nanokeys A nanokey is a unique pattern of nanites used to open a particular nanolock. [. . . ] HEALTH AND EPILEPSY WARNING A very small number of people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns that they encounter in everyday life, such as those in certain television images or video games. These seizures or loss of consciousness may occur even if the person has never had an epileptic seizure. If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing PC games. In all cases, parents should monitor the use of video games by their children. [. . . ]
