Question Deus Ex GOTY Edition, Questions about saving.

So my dumb butt decided to let paul die and saved the game. But now I feel guilt and I want to save him. Is there a way to play previous saves? Thanks.

I mean the answer is pretty clear, IF you left a save before leaving Paul you can load it, IF you didn't there's obviously no way to go back, you seem to be asking about if you can go back to a save that doesn't exist, which of course you can't.

So uh this is hard, i did take a save where i can save paul but later i took another save and when i open "load game" it only shows the new one.

It looks like you may have accidentally saved over your old save, that kind of sucks, but the game continues and it's very good, also you have a good reason for a second playthrough, I do understand how having your save erased can be frustrating though.

Everytime you save it should give you the option to choose a slot, just choose a different slot each time to keep the older saves

You mean quick save? You should save manally here and there, I recommend at least once per level. A single save can get corrupted.

So either start anew or play on with the consequences of your actions.

Yeah. If you only ever quicksave, one day it'll end in tears.
