Let's vivisect Deus Ex Revision Part 13: Cathedral of Ego
13This one took a long time to edit together largely because I figure you can see the level on any Let's play video (they can certainly do with having a little more traffic for their suffering, the poor souls who dared to document their playthrough of this game) but rather what the core problem with this level is... aside from everything.
(Example here: https://youtu.be/NKDq6tW0QKM?t=16m10s)
Summary: This section is pretty much entirely attempts at pretty aesthetics that are actually hostile to the core themes of the game and the gameplay in the areas altered by Caustic Creative is... well it's more basic than Liberty Island when it's not just completely baffling.

(Yes I know there is also a gas station ahead, but I don't think the circumstances really make it a familiar type of location)
Is it the 1% chance of different main menu, the mode where NPCs have a random weight, or that you no longer make a sound if your corpse is hit by a door? Let me know in the comments.
