[Iacta Best]

Hi all. Has anyone here beaten the Trenchcoat + Realistic combination? How was your experience? Is that the hardest achievement? Thanks for sharing.

Halves the inventory size.

I have :D It was more annoying than hard though, no heavy weapons, lots of sneaking and a lot of reloading (due to getting one shotted). However I'm pretty biased ^_^

Half way into mine now using sniper and pistol. I have not been short on inventory once. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Yeah I've completed it by now, was still quite easy.

Yeah, Trenchcoat is designed to make being a packrat a bit harder; you need to be more decisive about what you take along. For me, Deus Ex has always been about improvising through a situation, and I think having to make more impactful inventory choices builds on one aspect of that.

Damn, that's a five-year necro rofl.

As for OP, I found Trenchrealism fairly easy; just stick to Pistols and Grenades. Also, Environmental Training is insanely useful; at Master, you can actually eat a pistol headshot with a Ballistic Vest on without dying, and you can toggle those items at will now.
