Yeah, second time I played Deus Ex, I tried not to kill the Unatco and the NSF troops. Did enjoy capping the MIB though. And there was something about Jojo that made me crowbar kill him, when I could just stun him.
Deus Ex is the only FPS I played where you don't have to kill anyone. I'm sure Warren Spector meant for it to be this way, giving the player a choice, and raising the standards for a FPS.
Unfortunately, Far Cry, DOOM 3 and HL2 will only make progress in the graphics, physics and sound, but the non-linear gameplay (and a story to match it) of Deus Ex won't be matched.
