Video shows the game lagging since I am recording this in QuickTime Player while playing the game. In order for you to do this glitch after finishing your call with Janus you need go out the way you came from. DO NOT GO OUT THROUGH THE SEWERS! You need to time the peps shooting and police stopping you to check your papers for this glitch to work. Also you do not need to shoot at Tarvos guy with PEPS like I did.

The elevator scene between Jensen and Megan Reed is so well done. It really sets the whole 'lovers' atmosphere going and gives Jensen a huge boost to look for her and then stumble in the huge conspiracy. Then the fucking Pritchard steps in and leaves everything hanging in the air. Just an amazing short cutscene.

Let me cut right to the chase. I'm retiring from game development. At least I think so. I've been here before and changed my mind but this time I'm pretty sure I mean it.

I've had a great career. Wouldn't change a thing even if I could. But the reasons to retire are simple: I'm a month away from my 44th year as a developer. I've had the chance to work on tabletop roleplaying games and boardgames. I've worked on more digital games than I can remember -- 17 full games, I think, and 9 or so add-on packs. Gratifyingly, some of those games are still being played 15... 20... 30 years later. And most of them have been in a genre that has had influence beyond what I or anyone else expected. I've run teams as small as a dozen and as big as 800. I've worked for big companies and done startups. I like to think I've helped some insanely talented people along in their careers. (That last is the most important.)

With all that behind me and with age and health (my business) catching up with me I'm feeling like I've done what I set out to do. It's time to write some books, do a lot of reading, do some lecturing, maybe do some consulting. (Feel free to get in touch about those last two.) Also there's a keyboard here just waiting for me to get my piano chops back.

I definitely have mixed feelings about this. I mean there are three games in particular I'd still like to make. (One is very big... one is very small... and one I don't know how to make which scares me.) But the game business has changed and it's just not as much fun for me anymore. Plus there's a new generation of developers coming up who deserve their time in the sun.

To all of you reading this I want you to remember that games are not a solved problem yet -- there is, I hope, plenty of experimentation and innovation to come. And to all you young developers out there, I've said it before and I'll say it again, your job is to make people forget people like me ever existed.

Will I come back? Never say never. But I think it's time to ride off into the sunset.

Now stop reading and make great games.

I just made this for fun/because I wanted to, it's not that deep, but I know people will have thoughts, so I'll share mine:

- I am aware that the timing/placement of this is not strictly canon, and that the Delara/Adam conversation that frames the ACP DLC actually takes place later, after the events of DXMD. Since the main body of the DLC is a flashback, and the Delara/Adam convo doesn't really touch on anything relevant, it would be trivial to relocate the framing device to another point in the story

- Should be an optional side mission, which would be very advantageous for the [very vocal] folks who object to Missing Link integration in DXHR. Give Adam a dialogue option to skip the flashback, let players come back and talk about it at any time [or, perhaps, any time before >!martial law!<]

I did the versalife vault heist mission and I hacked the robots and turrets and cleared the entire building of security guards, but couldn't figure out where these 2 guys were. Is this a hidden room I missed or are they somehow in a void spot of the map?

This is what happened after getting to him in stealth. His dialogue is not hostile if you go through the ARC territory without attacking.
