10 Ways Players Accidentally Broke Video Games

One of the most interesting unintentional parts of Deus Ex is that, for the most part, you can take out the bosses without even properly fighting them.

How? Well, as ever, by doing something silly thinking it won't work - only for it to work all too well. This is because the boss battles are proximity triggered, meaning that it only properly starts when you get close to the enemy. If you manage to hurt or kill them from a distance, you'll find them carry this damage or death through, meaning a casual potshot at a boss can accidentally skip your skirmish with them.

This isn't always possible, of course - as certain bosses, like Anna Navarre, have been designed seemingly to avoid this pitfall. But then there's still a bunch of ways around them, too, so if you've committed to the "loveable rogue" style of play you'll likely still find a vaguely copout way to beat them.

It's interesting to think that with just one moment of wonder, you can discover something that makes huge sections of the game basically a cakewalk. Mercifully it's a game that's easy to play more than once, so you can have a legit playthrough and a silly one too.
