ItвЂ™s quite simple really in how it works, in that you start off at the most basic level for every skill, unless, youвЂ™ve picked a class (assassin) that has an affinity for that skill (sneak) вЂ“ if you have character вЂњclassesвЂќ that is.

Personally, I think that NOT having to award skill points to upgrade (weapon) skills, is a good move, in that itвЂ™s a dated RPG mechanic that there are alternatives for. One that requires the player to invest more directly in that skill, and feel, like theyвЂ™ve made a choice in doing so вЂ“ by not allowing them then to use the вЂњexperienceвЂќ to develop unrelated skills. Forgetting momentarily that an element of this, is provided by the weapon-mod system вЂ“ which was also a part of Deus Ex вЂ“ they could have provided a more progressive alternative to the go with their progressive systems. Like abolishing the weapon skill system based on experience points, because, you no longer have experience points вЂ“ itвЂ™s all object-based. I think can be a good thing, in moderation.Д®ssentially, they took it too far. Being able to make one or two changes, that are still fitting to your style of play, allowing you to progress without making the challenges irrelevant from ease. If youвЂ™ve chosen a style of play, then you may gripe but you will want to stick with it and make it work and overcome the game in that fashion. However, Invisible War allows far too much flexibility, which merely undermines gameplay. The premise supports you being a tad bit flexible. After all, if they are вЂњnaniteвЂќ augmentations, then, I donвЂ™t see why you wouldnвЂ™t be able to make one or two changes вЂ“ switch your arm augment from strength (carry-weight) to power (melee and throwing). Now, you donвЂ™t have to be that anal about it. YouвЂ™d made your choice and would have to live with the advantages and disadvantages of that choice. You couldnвЂ™t just replace that area with another augmentation. You got a specific augmentation canister that had one of two choices for a specific area, like, the arm. Who exactly did they imagine would be playing this game?!Дeus Ex with its augmentation вЂ“ power / ability system вЂ“ required you to make a choice. This contributes to the game being too easy by providing too much вЂњchoiceвЂќ to the player.

You can do this so many times to make the importance of choice within the game seem next to irrelevant. But rather, switching and upgrading an augment to its fullest strength.

ThatвЂ™s not just switching mods to the lowest level, which would then make it 20 times that you could do this. Number of times you can switch and upgrade a mod: 6.6.

Having played the majority of quests (roughly 20 hours worth) these are the number of biomod canisters вЂ“ that I had managed to find with ease вЂ“ that I had left after making my mod choices, upgrading them to full, and, sticking with them until the end of the game: Anything else would either be a watered down (easy) version or an artificially contrived difficult (hard) version.ДЇor the most part, I found the game to be too easy via normal and, I doubt that playing on вЂњhardвЂќ would have helped in making much difference in that the reason it was so easy, was to do with the game systems utilised and itвЂ™s вЂњbasisвЂќ in the game world: biomod canisters.

To me, this represents the most balanced version of the game and how the developers intended the game to be experienced. This is evident in their вЂњaugment-biomodвЂќ system, which is analogous to System ShockвЂ™s object-based вЂњneural-chipвЂќ system вЂ“ these are вЂњpowers,вЂќ which RPGs generally have in some shape (spells) or form (enchanted items).ДЇirst off, I played Invisible War from start through to end, like I do with any game I play, on the normal difficulty setting.

In Invisible War it appears theyвЂ™ve tried to do something similar, in that they removed the RPG systems, or at least, made these far less вЂњexposedвЂќ to the gamer. It was an object-based action RPG system no stat leveling with experience points required.
