What did they cut from the “Final Cut”?

[firehawk1012002]

I am only part way replaying Book 2, and I have not played it since they released Book 5. I noticed that they have modified some things, or maybe it is my faulty memory.

The first is that Zoe only helps one person and not three. I am OK with this change.

The second change is the spy mission ends suddenly, I had about 4 more people to examine so I do not know if I got the correct person. I will have to wait for the end of the book, if the spy was random. If it was random that makes you actually pay a little more attention to that part of the game.

The last thing I noticed is mission to blow something up at the main docks is missing, it was a tricky bit of stealth work I liked that little section. It was just mentioned by the bartender the second time I visited the Rooster and Kitten. So maybe they forgot to remove that bit of dialog.

I am now off to warn the last Banda-Banta, and not kiss a complete stranger.

Thank-you for taking the time to read this message.

Visually, they cut ALL lens flares from Europolis. I actually liked the effect and thought it contibuted greatly to the atmposhphere of the place. I don't blame RTG for this change, I blame the internet. Wish there was an option to toggle them though.

Oh, also the background crowds in Europolis from the very first release of Book 1 haven't returned, which again is a shame as the effect contrbuted to immersion.

This was changed befor Final Cut. Don't know when exactly, but when I played DC in october-november 2016 it was already like now. But in Final Cut you can play original version in Extras/Deleted scenes.

This was moved to Extras/Deleted scenes in Final Cut.

ah.. for the final cut they could just... unlock the game in to open game world and thats it

How dumb is this, they should add a checkbox that the deleted scenes are used in the main game, I already don't like this when I buy a movie and the deleted scenes are in a seperate menu.

The background crowds during book 1 started walking through walls if you paused the game or switched applications. This implies there was no pathing, but those NPCs path changes were controlled entirely through timers that could be disrupted by not getting the expected amount of CPU time.

Agree, i want to see them as i go through the game, not load them through some menu!

Well then that's right time to start playing it, considering all the episodes are out long ago, and it's the complete game now!

When I started playing year ago I couldn't even play original beginning. Now its in deleted scenes at least.
