Deus Ex 3 - getting to the top of the high score list

I take it back.

Those stupid achievement icons drew me in. They're so meaningless... and yet I missed the Scholar achievement and it bothers me. So why not start over, on hardest mode this time, just to see what its like. And while I'm at it, why not try lethal play, see what that's like.

I'm somewhat hooked again. Its kind of fun to just run amok, not stopping to read the literature or listen in on people's conversations. I've heard it all before, so I'm speeding towards the exit. And if a guard makes the unfortunate choice of standing next to an explosive barrel on my way there, that's just too bad. This time I'm not going to spend 15 minutes figuring out how to knock him out safely without setting off the alarm.

Its fun to play with all the upgrade modules for all those lethal weapons I never used. The Deus Ex authors spent years coming up with this stuff, I might as well enjoy playing with all the cool accessories.

I look forward to facing those end level bosses now with something more than a dart gun and a taser.
