Even that infamous “ what a shame” line is recreated with the exact same sympathetic lip smack. Either we do it right or we shouldn’t bother.”įor starters, JC Denton is now voiced by actress Karen Rohan, who recorded all 1,700 of Denton's original dialogue with the customary cool, stoic demeanor.
“Immersion is a core feature of the Deus Ex experience, and a half-implemented female JC Denton would sabotage that. “While a model swap and a vocal plugin could create a cheap facsimile, we felt this would be woefully insufficient,” the mod team wrote in their announcement. It even goes so far as to re-record all of the main character's dialogue, change every single text or verbal pronoun reference, and in some cases even add or significantly modify characters to have it make sense that characters are speaking with a female. A new Deus Ex Mod called the “ Lay D Denton Project” lets you play the classic immersive sim as a female UNATCO agent, something developer Ion Storm ended up cutting from the original game. Game mods that let you change the protagonist's gender are a dime a dozen, but not like this.
