You know what the worst part about Deus Ex is? NO AUTOSAVE. You have to manually save after everything. You die without saving? Tough luck.

I forgot this fact today. I was sneaking through an airfield with the intention of assassinating its owner, a member of a terrorist group. The place is filled with heavily-armored, machine gun-equipped, military-grade security robots that patrol around. There are doors that lead into the wall around the area that you can use to climb up and evade the robots, presumably (I never made it through one, so I can't be sure), but each door is guarded by two security cameras and two gun turrets. In addition, the doors are locked, and while you can pick the locks doing so makes you a fine target for gun turrets and security robots. The only weapons I have that are effective against any of these hazards are a handful of grenades, of both the "explosive" and "EMP" varieties, but Mr. Denton is apparently incapable of throwing a grenade further than about fifteen feet.

I'm really not sure how one is supposed to go about completing this.

But anyways, I inevitably died in the attempt.

And then I realized, I didn't save once during this play session.

My last save was before I began the mission, several hours back.

And that's when I ragequit.
