I played it so many times around 2000... Fun fact about stealth mechanic rewards in the original: they don't vanish if you did the offensive approach! You could get the most xp by first killing everyone and then run around through tunnels and obstacles to get the other half of the xp I remember the escape from his brothers apartment in hells kitchen especially fondly because of that. First you slaughter everyone so your bro is safe for offensive reward, then you run through the level for the discovery rewards such as enabling the turret which shots the now non-existing enemies (the brother dies if you don't block him by standing in the way so risky to do earlier) and finally escape through the window. 3 routes and you get all the xp :)

  I think you had to go through elevator, then stealth into the reception and hack a terminal in the back. I might misremember though... It's been almost 20 years after all ;)

No. First you hide in the closet while your brother goes on a slaughterfest because he can't die until the script says he does. When bro, the great pacifist, has killed absolutely everything in the hotel, walk out together with him through the front door, where he spontaneously drops dead for no reason at all because the script says he should. I did love that game

  Pretty sure he survived if you left through the window after killing everyone. You meet him again later iirc, though only very briefly.

    That's correct. But where's the fun in that ;-)

    That's weird, I remember doing the opposite - he only survives if you fight it out with him. Is GP's save bugged or am I having Mandela effect? States as such here (Spoilers, of course): [0] [0]: https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Paul_Denton#2052 https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Paul_Denton#2052

      Its almost 20 years ago, so i might have swapped the front door and the window. I do know for sure he becomes a killing machine if you hide in the closet instead of running away as he directs you.
