Anonymous asked: I know that the golden colour scheme was meant to evoke a Renaissance feel, but what was the purpose of all the game's honey and bee imagery? DX:HR is littered with honeycomb patterns, from the windows and floor tiles to the HUD. The palette brings bumblebees to mind, there's a club called 'The Hive', and Faridah's plane is coded B-EE 008. Did you intend some kind of...
Anonymous asked: [SPOILERS] About Megan's bracelet: During the side-quest 'Motherly Ties', Adam can find Megan's bracelet in a locked safe and either hand it to her mother or keep it to himself. My question is, at the end of the game when we finally reunite with Megan, she is wearing the same bracelet, which leaves me confused given the aforementioned side-quest. Was this an oversight or is...
aurigale asked: Adam's legs are augmented, right? What do his feet look like? Please tell me they're not creepy Namir-feet...

Anonymous asked: Not a question. I just want to say that this tumblr is genius. When I'm on ebay, I'll often give greater feedback to people I perceive as a 'mom and pop store', and not just 'some corporation'. Because of this tumblr, I feel genuinely closer to the devs, and thus feel properly emotionally attached to Eidos Montreal, hahaha! <3 PS if you're lucky, the angry...

Anonymous asked: Why was Jaron Namir linked to Belltower when in the book Ben Saxon was working for Belltower when Jarons ship shot them down. They never mention the Tyrants and Gunther Hermann is never mentioned either.
epyon asked: So this is a bit spoilery, but do we ever meet any of the real Illuminati in the game? Zhao came across as a underling who wanted into the inner circle. Darrow was a separate agent working with (then against) the Illuminati. I didn't get the impression that Taggert was part of the Illuminati elites, just another agent. So who are the Illuminati? Or is that exactly what you wanted me to...
Anonymous asked: Who came up with the Robocop / Alex Murphy / Officer Lewis reference at the police station? :-)
Anonymous asked: While designing the content of the emails in the game, have you actually been inspired by some of yours? Especially when it came to emails from HR departments, for example? - Eildalior
Anonymous asked: what is the in-story explanation for all the secret praxis kits we find in the cities?
Anonymous asked: How come we didn't find out more about some story aspects like Eliza's background and information on White Helix, as well as in game information on the tyrants. Was this left mostly as easter eggs towards Deus Ex and The Icarus Effect?
Anonymous asked: Have you ever considered the differences between HR and the original Deus Ex and how these changes affect players who have been following the franchise since the original, people who praise the original game for its complexity. Do you believe that the loss of complexity (removal of skills, less complicated side quests, etc) has had a detrimental effect on the quality of gameplay overall?
Anonymous asked: Why were there so many janitors? The whole first time I played I was so sure they would play a part in the story...
Anonymous asked: why are you so awesome?
Anonymous asked: Well I have a question good sir. Why the H-E-double hockey sticks Sarif ordered these fancy face-plugged specs for Adam?
Anonymous asked: If you could add new augmentation that was non-combat but relevant to Adam as a character, what would you consider and why?
theflib asked: I want to reblog the thing about Adam Jensen, but I don't see the option to do so. How do I shot reblog?
Anonymous asked: Do you guys plan on using Adam again if you make another game? You should, he grew on me.
criz-zone asked: There's a part about Adam only needing to have his chest and an arm replaced, did you ever consider putting the decision for additional augmentations into the player's hand instead of Sarif's? Like having to augment the legs to jump higher for example?
Anonymous asked: The main character Jensen & other Augmented super soldiers have great abilities with their mechanical organs. But why this Augmentation freaks can't withstand a simple Taser Shot or a EMP blast. It's just lame. Why's that? PS: "I asked this question using my CASIE implant. Hope the pheromones do their trick"
Anonymous asked: How much and what was mocap? How much and what was animated?
Anonymous asked: It has always been a dream of mine to work on Deus Ex. I have graduated high school from french immersion in Vancouver, BC. I paint/draw, I have self taught myself 3ds max, mudbox(etc) and have made some decent stills/videos. I am studying architecture, but my passion is to work for Edios. Before I can start gaining many years of experience, I need to go to a good school, which isn't too...
Anonymous asked: So does Adam's coat auto-regenerate after using the backwards armblades, or what? This was seriously one of the top 3 things that bugged me in the game :)
Anonymous asked: Do you get a thrill from seeing all the fan art inspired by DX?
Anonymous asked: Y'know, I've always wondered, what material are the retractable blades (on Adam's arms) made of?
Anonymous asked: Hello.
Anonymous asked: Do you think Syndicate is a little too much like DX or the usual cyberpunk cut. It's said to be shooter driven but HR didn't have much RPG elements either. Would you devs check this game out?
Anonymous asked: I have heard rumors of an intimate scene featuring Adam and one of the female characters which was was eventually cut from the final product. Can you shed some light on this?
Anonymous asked: Heyo, the one thing I remember most of all in DX:HR, is the street prophet-guy in Detroit. I could stand there and listen to him for hours. Who wrote his monologue and who's voicing him?
thelastdisciple asked: Was the radio guy talking about the bilderbergs supposed to be a parody of Alex Jones?
Anonymous asked: I'm wondering; how do you connect the dots? When creating stories as intricate as DE:HR (or various others), how do you stay on top with respect to what results in what happening? Do you lay out all possible choices/paths first and then construct the story around it or do you first build the world, the characters (with a general idea of what you want to do) and then let the specifics...
Anonymous asked: I've got a simple question, was Bob Page being involved in the story an idea from the start, or was he worked into the equation later in development?
mr-ru asked: With modeling, coding and other aspects of game design becoming increasingly complex, do you think the modding communities of games are suffering? It's a rarity to see characters made from scratch these days.
Anonymous asked: Why in game is so small number of weapons. There is cyberpunk outside and many corporations must produce weapons ? And why the chief of security service of the biggest augmentation corporations must collect money fro enemies to by ammo ?
Anonymous asked: Why is the game so hard on the easiest (Tell me a story) difficulty? I pre-ordered the game, I've had it since release. I'm still on the first mission. Do you think it's right that the player dies so quickly from gun fire on the easiest difficulty?Assuming you won't answer this here, I'll probably email this to you the next time I attempt and fail to complete the first...
farfarer asked: Exactly what body parts is Adam supposed to have had replaced or changed? I understand he retains his internal organs, but surely bones like his spine (and ribs, clavicles, pelvis?) would have need to have been replaced or bolstered to be able to withstand the forces his arms and legs are now capable of. And congratulations on the game - you've made a game that's truly belongs the Deus...
Anonymous asked: Are you going to have an Updated Version of the game including the Grey's and Illuminati?
Anonymous asked: Did you guys ever consider putting pickpocketing into the game? It is very inconvenient for some playthroughs if you need a key/passcode/password and a guard has it.
Anonymous asked: My question is only a yes-or-no question, but I have to know: when Darrow says he intends to tell the world the "unadulterated" truth, does that include the fact that it was he who was driving the mechanically augmented into a murderous rampage? I can't help but feel he'd conveniently leave that out. If I heard his message and it confessed even that, I'd get really, REALLY...
Anonymous asked: What is Megan Reed's natural hair color, and are the changes reflective or symbolic of her and Adam's relationship or her character development?
Anonymous asked: What would you say is the biggest flaw in todays consoles? What feature in he consoles would you guys add to have made Deus Ex: HR even better? Is it like all devs say: the lack of enough RAM?
Anonymous asked: What about making a managerial game about DXHR world? You could choose to lead TYM, Sarif Industries or all the other companies that are mentioned in the game, trying to invent new kinds of augmentations and maybe hire some private security company to destabilize the others.
Anonymous asked: Adam Jensen - Revan from KoTOR.I want you to compare!
Anonymous asked: Stun gun, tranq rifle, revolver, or combat rifle?
Anonymous asked: Is Adam Jensen's look based on David Gandy?
Anonymous asked: What was the design decision behind making the Panchaea level pretty much a zombie level? As someone who played the game pretty much completely stealthily I think it ruined the flow of the game and made the level a chore to get through.
