I skimmed the somethingawful thread about this mod, and after a bunch of skepticism over the goofy story concept and goofy trailers, people who are actually playing it seem to be enjoying it.
I didn’t add story info, as it sounds silly and might be better to just try out the mod not knowing it.

a small faq for questions people might have:
Q.Does TNM run on Windows Vista?
A.Oh yes. The Nameless Mod has also been tested under Windows 7.Q.Does TNM run on Linux?
A.Yep, you can run the Windows version on Linux using software like Wine or Cedega but you may need to install Visual C++ runtime components.Q.Does TNM run on Mac?
A.That depends — some of our new features are not compatible with the Macintosh version of Deus Ex, but if you are able to run the Windows version using software like Parallels Desktop, then you should also be able to run The Nameless Mod. Also, we haven’t ruled out making a Mac-specific version eventually, but there are no plans to do so at this time.Q.Does TNM work with the Steam version of Deus Ex?
A.According to our testing, yes.Q.Does TNM work with any other Deus Ex mods?
A.Yes, but not all. We’ve successfully tested it with the Enhanced OpenGL Renderer (which will actually be included with our installer), The High Definition Texture Package, and New Vision. Unfortunately, it seems that there are compatibility issues with Shifter which do not render the game unplayable, but still might cause some problems.Q.How long does it take to play through TNM?
A.The Nameless Mod has two completely unique, parallel storylines. You can expect it to take about 15 hours for either storyline, which could turn into about 20 hours for avid explorers.
I’m trying to find my DX cd at the moment, then I’ll try it out.
