That Hyperion Easter Egg... (MINOR SPOILERS)

[ZeroKelvin]

Got to apartment. Went next door. Hacked door, because it's Deus Ex.

Walked in, wanted to hug the devs.

Most people aren't going to know why this is funny, but if you want a lot of context, read "Hyperion," by Dan Simmons.

Still don't know the darn password (tried "endymion", "keats", "hyperion", and "the void which binds"), though.

Glad somebody else recognized this too! I laughed my ass off when I saw that :P Maybe you've already figured it out, but the password is "thevoidwhichbinds"

Eventually, yeah. Stopped using spaces.

Just waiting for the Shrike to show up and start stabbing people.

Tell me about it, it was very satisfying to see that easter egg

The whole machine god thing really fits, too. Never realized how much that book influenced parts of pop culture.

So... I got curious.
There's this game called Einhander, which is one of my all time favorites, was published by Squaresoft back in the day.

The names "hyperion" and "endymion" and probably some others I can't remember at the time are all used as names for ther spacecrafts and satellites and stuff.

I'm guessing it is not a coincidence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einh%C3%A4nder

Also, I'd like to mention on how much I hate Enix for canceling Einhander 2 project when they were merged with Squaresoft. I will never forgive them for that. Square Enix will NEVER get on the feet of Squaresoft.

Should I feel bad for thinking this had something to do with borderlands? Lol.

Yes! =D Just today I was thinking of giving the series a third read, and then I walk in to see that in a big display. That was great! Always nice to see some of my favorite series cross the streams.

I also punched out the civilian just outside then dragged them into the apartment to hide the evidence. Because it's Deus Ex.

Can you give some screenshots or more details on this? :)

Start from the apartment that you wind up in after the intro mission and cutscenes. Once you leave there, go around the walkway to the other apartment on the same level. Hack the door, go inside, turn left.

They like to reference films, books and games in Deus Ex. Even some of the achievements are references ("The net is vast and infinite." Motoko Kusanagi). Probably every dev had one go at it ;)

From the looks of it (check the bell signs!) the Shrike got deported to Golem.

Same

I tried thevoidwhichbinds as a pass, it denied me. Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind, I was using my keyboard to type the pass instead of using the in-game keyboard. It still types it, but the input is rejected.
