When you begin a new game of Deus Ex: Invisible War, you must first
make a few choices.

levels affect four things: ammo per clip, damage taken by enemies,
damage taken by Alex D (your character), and enemy accuracy. There
are four levels to choose from, in ascending order of difficulty:
• Easy. Increased damage taken by enemies, decreased
enemy accuracy
• Normal. Base level
• Hard. Decreased damage taken by enemies, increased enemy
accuracy, decreased ammo received from ammo clips
• Realistic. Increased damage taken by enemies, significantly
increased damage taken by Alex D, increased enemy accuracy,
decreased ammo received from ammo clips
You may change this setting at any time during the game, using the
Options Menu (see p. 25).
