Cigs are killing you, kids. Look at agent Denton...

Seriously? I hadn't noticed, but then again I never tried to document said effect. Can anyone confirm this? It would make a little more sense as to why they're in the game in the first place...

oh, cmon... :cheeky:

Hm, I actually like to smoke in DX a lot. A few packets of cigs and then all the drinks that you can find in Hong Kong combined are a great way to party in the Lucky Money. ;)

...and paying c100 to mamasan for a cute companion...:p

Pity that Ling is "not allowed SOMETHING with one customer twice".
Strange that I don't remember the first time either. Even if I'll try to lure her to toilets...
:confused:

Hmm. AFAIK cigs are useless (except for helping you use up a surplus of healing supplies). The smoke doesn't even stun enemies. Zyme and alcohol make your vision zoom in and move in circles. Maybe that's what you were thinking of by way of increasing accuracy. It's kind of like a free scope (except it's blurry and swims around). I don't recommend it though because it's not very reliable.

To stockpile zyme, just prod the drug dealer and all the junkies wandering around the Rook's turf in the subway.

Nope. Smoking increases accuracy. Fact. Try it with a scope. For about 10secs you're perfectly still.

Calms you, see?

It's long ago I tried smoking (in DX: in real life way too much of it) but I'm also pretty sure it stabilises your aiming for a moment. I made a couple of succesfull out-of-range trangings with the cigs, to my big surprise (not to mention the targets surprise:cheeky: )

I guess I never tried smoking a pack of cigarrettes and looking though a scope. The most useful purpose I found for them was to lure guards around a corner. Funny how fast they come running when they see a free pack of smokes. Now I'll have to add "JC Denton the chain-smoking alcoholic mass murderer" to my to-do list. Maybe right after that SS2 mod I'm supposed to be working on...
