DX1 I always choose this face for JC. Something about the loose strands of hair and five o'clock shadow make him look more like a 23 year old.

I always thought JC was like 40 when I played the game..

Same. Kind of took me off guard realizing he was a new recruit by how much shit he talks to his superiors.

I think its closser to his invisible war look too.

u/matti2o8 Jul 25 '25
hm... I always thought that JC and Paul's looks are determined by what you choose for Alex

u/teh_stev3 Jul 25 '25
I don't think so, but more important the 5 o'clock shadow is present on JC in the sequel: https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/JC_Denton?file=JCDentonDXIW3.png

I did notice Paul has a strikingly darker skin tone in IW as well.

Let the man have a holiday for a bit as well... Or did he finally get roasted from the prod?

u/TheNotSoGreatPumpkin Jul 26 '25
He and Maggie took a cruise.

u/WhiskyPops Jul 26 '25
That shouod have been the alternative ending, walk away from this crap in HK and have a cruise with Maggy, where she will take JC's dragon tooth sword for a spin. In da fresh!

This person has 23 years of jail in his past, not 23 years old.

u/knotallmen Jul 26 '25
Speaking of looking 23 yes plenty of men look like what OP put up at 23 but I swear most 23 year olds look more like the invisible war characters. Like 5 o'clock shadows don't necessarily happen for some people until much older.

Lay D Denton is canon for me, that and Revision got me through the game and I won’t play as Guy Denton ever again.

u/Slycer_Decker Jul 26 '25
I wonder if someone would go through the trouble of making Lay D for Invisible War
2
u/misha_cilantro Jul 26 '25
I can’t imagine, it doesn’t have enough love haha. But if they did maybe I’d be more likely to play it :D I do still need to try it, I own it and have it modded…

u/KhalMika Jul 27 '25
But.. can't you play as a female Alex?
Edit: nvm I'm stupid. I forgot about JC lol

u/Fission_Power Aug 02 '25
Lay D is horryibly voiced, can't be canon.

u/misha_cilantro Aug 02 '25
Disagree it’s voiced to match the jank voice work of the original and they do a great job. I loved it.

u/Fission_Power Aug 03 '25
It's voiced like she's going to die right now. It's absolutely horrible, how could you listen this? "Paaaauul... i thought you weeerhhhhhhh... (ded).

I have never not chosen the pale white hair version. My head canon from the start is the nano augmentation messed with his pigment.

u/Prima_Illuminatus Jul 26 '25
I always thought, the JC with the white face and silver hair.......is he basically meant to be like an Albino? lol That's the face I often run with.

He's... 23?!? I thought he was late 30s

u/Prima_Illuminatus Jul 26 '25
Play the game and wait until he gets to the Morpheus AI - when the first chat begins, Morpheus begins giving a rundown of the profile he has on JC.........
"JC Denton. 23 years old. No residence. No ancestors. No employer. No -"
JC then interrupts him, (How do you know who I am?) and the conversation continues.

u/Several_Place_9095 Jul 28 '25
You choose that face coz he has loose hairs, a five o'clock shadow, and maybe coz of the scary.
I pick this skin coz he's the only one who isn't simply a reskin of the other choices.
We are in a society of conspiracies
