I mostly want them to fix spawning, so I don’t see when enemies spawn.

Otherwise I never had any particular issues with bugs, and don’t expect major gameplay changes since it’s remaster not remake.

I want them to make the worm gun better. In the original it worked about as well as you would expect firing worms at people would do…

Worm weapons were easiest way to actually kill yourself in that game. Agreed.

I want them to retool the “puzzles” so they aren’t just RNG and if there’s budget, finish the ending to be closer to what it was suppose to be. You can tell it was cut short.

Definitely

“Even though it came out pre-9/11, Deux Ex has a skyline without the trade towers; the game’s backstory reveals that they were destroyed by terrorists. Let’s hope the developers weren’t as prescient with the game’s pandemic plot line.” - 2009

Except this is about System Shock 2 and not Deus Ex, Mr. Bot.

I like that you even retained the typo from your irrelevant listicle.
