Witchboy Interview

by Marcus Yam Jul 22, 1999 2:16pm CST tags: Interview
DXN goes for another Ion interview with Harvey "Witchboy" Smith designer working on Deus Ex, something I'm looking forward to.

DXN: What exactly does "Deus Ex" mean?

Harvey "Witchboy" Smith: It's short for deus ex machina, which is Latin for "god from the machine." Convoluted, I know, but we're a story based role-playing game in a science fiction universe. The game includes stuff on nanotechnology, AI and genetics, so why not some Latin as well?
