Some extra context: those two games were made by entirely different teams. Daikatana was built by John Romero's team, and Deus Ex was made by Warren Spector's team. I don't think there was much collaboration or even communication between the teams. Romero just bankrolled Spector, who happened to have quite a bit more experience, and was likely much better suited to the director role.
