Oh gawds, Fahrenheit was HORRIBLE after the early parts.

I hape that player'll be able to kill any NPC in the game. Fighting against your own base is allways fun. At least it was fun in Shogo.

I hear ya. Unkillable NPCs annoy the hell out of me, but not for the same reasons you specified. One of the few things I disliked about Deus Ex were the unkillable NPCs. I remember that early in game you could challenge Gunther to a fight outside a subway. But since he was unkillable you were forced to lose the fight no matter how strong you was at that point. It just really annoyed me.

 

[BearBomber]

Yeah. I was trying to kill him for 10 hours untill I gave up, checked walkthrough and found out that the fight was unwinable. As a revange on a second playthrough I killed Navarre on the plane when she was frendly and killable.

AP will be like Hitman + Torment.

I've seen a few neat articles on the game lately. Neat setting, c&c, lots of different locations in different parts of the world. Spy themed "quests" that actually sound rather interesting and promise different routes.

Oh yeah, that's another thing. At least we know it probably won't feature any FedEx quests.
I wonder whether money will be a factor. It would make sense to have an unlimited account, being a CIA agent and all.

You don't have an unlimited account with the CIA if... YOU'RE A RENEGADE AGENT falsely accused of being a mole for the enemy! I'm too lazy to read up on it right now but until then I'm going to assume this is what the storyline will be. What's an extreme spy experience without being on the run from your own employers?

Uh-huh. Nonetheless, I hope they'll go for a more book-like storyline with interconnected subplots, rather than random side-quests that have nothing to do with each other. Which means, money should come naturally as you go through the game.

I remember playing Covert Action all night a couple of years ago. Then I switched off my PC and realised I still had a top-down view of my own room. I had to walk up to the sofa and choose "sleep for 2 hours" from a menu for this to pass. No, really. And after beating SMAC without standing up once I tried to choose a location for a base in the kitchen so it would cover both the fridge and the microwave. Ah, those days...
To make this post look on-topic, Obsidian should just rip off DX when it comes to the gameplay and the RPG mechanics. No-one would notice or care.

 

[BearBomber]

Money will be probably useless as allways.

I really wonder if it is *that* difficult to have shops at the end of the game selling stuff you can barely afford.

 

[Soulforged]

Because real world is boring and I have a dose of it every day. The point of games should be giving the player a chance to visit alien worlds and reign destruction through a gesture. The whole dumb supah spy shit is lame and reeks of Hollywood.

This world is pretty big and varied, are you telling me that you've wandered through it all, and that you've also worked as a secret agent?

That actually sounds great. Wouldn't mind another Hitman-like game, especially if they can showcase more polished A.I. than said series.

 

[Korgan]

Actually, I'd hate to be a real life secret agent. The job has the perfectly awful mix of tension and boredom - it takes a special sort of person to do it well, see Le Carre. So it'll either take the Bond route or the DX route, but neither will be realistic at all, I hope.
