Mods
Deus Ex: New Vision
- Replaces the vast majority of the game's texture files with HD remakes, drastically improving the visual appeal of the game.
- Compatible with Kentie's Custom Launcher.
- An additional renderer is required. Two are included in the New Vision download, one for DirectX and one for OpenGL, and a video demonstrating full installation of the mod with Kentie's Launcher can be found here.
Deus Ex HDTP (High Definition Texture Project)
- Remodels and retextures the majority of the game's assets.
- Currently in beta stages.
- The newest version can be downloaded either through Mod DB or from the Off Topic Productions forum thread.
GMDX (Give Me Deus Ex)
- Extensive gameplay mod that improves every aspect of the game excluding the plot and soundtrack.
- Including both New Vision and HDTP. One download, all-encompassing.
Shifter
- Fixes many common annoyances with the game, including improved enemy AI and a restructured augmentation system which replaces augmentations considered obsolete by the developer of the mod.
- This mod makes the game significantly easier by increasing the number of skill points awarded and items dropped.
BioMod
- An alternative extension to Shifter, further adding game-changing features such as autosave and automated augmentations. Also, the Shifter's awarding of skill points for kills is removed.
The Nameless Mod
- An extensive conversion of Deus Ex which provides a new storyline within the Unreal 1 engine set outside of the Deus Ex universe. This modification is fully voiced and includes many new weapons and features.
Deus Ex: Nihilum
- A "mod taking place in an alternate Deus Ex continuity" that takes some content from other mods and provides around 10 hours of gameplay, 3.5 hours of voice work, and 2 hours of new audio.
