"If I'm going to give a choice then there has to be equal opportunity on both sides so we raised the fluidity and the way the combat works." "This is not to make it a more combat oriented game but just to, again with the idea of choice and consequence to make it a fair choice," he said. Rather it allows for what Fortier described as "equal opportunity" gameplay.
Mankind Divided will not favour violence. Pacifists need not worry about this either. "That's why we've worked on the whole combat aspect of the game as well to bring it up to par with the stealth." We've been careful of that," he confessed. I don't think the team realised it was sending that message back in the day. I think that sent the wrong message in Human Revolution because you got experience points from stealth and not combat. It's something Fortier says the studio is looking to avoid this time around. The previous game in the series, 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution, rewarded stealthy, non-violent gameplay over outright killing, by granting you more experience points and perks for playing in a sneaky fashion.

"We have to test all those different aspects so our QA team is embedded into our development team and they are really a part of the process early on," he explained. "When we plan our levels we have a certain time allocation and budgets for each level but we plan ahead with the fact that not every player will see 100 percent of the level," said Fortier, adding, "and we build more content as depending on the play style they might see different things."Fortier told NDTV Gadgets that the branching choices also make the game difficult to test, due to the many ways to play the game, and the different choices (and consequences) that can be made. Fortier said that Mankind Divided will feature a wealth of content, more that what you can uncover in a single playthrough. One of the hallmarks of the Deus Ex series has always been stellar level design, to the point where fans are still finding new ways to complete missions that were created almost two decades ago. You will not experience all of the game in one playthrough The second part of the interview, which took place at Gamescom 2015, is all about the game's level design, perks, and the timeline of the Deus Ex Universe. The first part of our interview with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's Gameplay Director Patrick Fortier focussed on choices, consequences, and overarching narrative.
