Deus Ex The Conspiracy might seem like the save data bloats to absurd levels like the PC version however it only keeps track of areas which you can actually return to unlike the PC version which stores data for every area even ones it's not longer possible to access. As you progress through an area (hell's kitchen for example stores data for the clinic, streets, ton, smugglers, the pathways to the generator, generator warehouse, mj12 base) and can bloat up to around 400KB. However once you return to UNATCO base the game shrinks back down to a meager 40KB. Cleaning up bloated save data is both clever and worthy of praise especially when the original PC version could swing well above 12MB in size by the end of the game.
