I reloaded a save out of curiosity and was amused to see that
you can choose to let him go for some cash, or at least the promise of it. I'm curious if he shows back up later if you do that instead of killing him or turning him in.

I'm surprised so many people are not familiar with ESDF and RMB jumping... Guess none of you are old school PC FPS players? Everyone used to play with this set up back in the quak2 days!
If you think about it, it is much more efficient than WASD since it gives you three extra keys right next to the movement keys to configure for weapons/augs/whatever.

Guys I'm thisssss close to abandoning my non-lethal , never detected approach. Why? Because the weapons and augs look like they'd be so fun to use. I'm picking up all these weapons (sniper rifle, shotgun, SMG) as well as attachments like a silencer and laser sight... yet all they're good for is selling to the vendor for credits. While the non-lethal approach is very rewarding, I feel like I'm missing out on half the game. This isn't even counting the augments which are geared towards lethal play (break through walls, Typhoon, etc.).
But then I'm thinking... why not just go non-lethal the entire way through the first time then on the second playthrough go lethal as well as stealth whenever you feel like it.
BUT THEN I'm thinking... "don't I want the first playthrough to be 100% as good as it possibly can to try to take in as much of the game as I can?"... because that would mean mixing it up with both stealth and guns.
Not sure what to do at the moment...gonna take a break. Right now I'm just doing side quests in Detroit. Haven't even done the police station mission yet.
Reading Shagg and Zeliard's posts just make me wanna try lethal stuff too because it sounds like they're having so much fun.

After it unlocks, right-click, go to Properties, Language tab. Might make you redownload the whole game again, we will see.

Haha, we're at exactly the same point - I just came here to ask that question.
EDIT: Oh shit, looks like you can. Well, there's no way I'm letting it go the way it went, time to reload.

Deus Ex figures went up on Hobby Search today according to my RSS feed... I just checked and the Adam Jensen figure has already sold out in less than 24 hours. Curses!

This is very helpful, thank you!

I'm mixing up my approach in combat since it's a blast, and I've also concentrated my early aug upgrades on things that will let me go to new areas and/or more easily explore the cities.
I'm on the verge of going to China and hacking is at level 5 w/ turret control, got punching through walls, Icarus Landing System, and move/throw heavy objects. I have 1 Praxis point sitting there but I'm waiting to do leg upgrades, especially jump height. I think I'm going to mostly ignore combat and radar-related upgrades, at least till I've gotten the other stuff.
You should just play how you think would be the most fun. Personally I've never cared about achievements so it's easy for me to ignore those entirely, and while it would be a lot of fun going for a pure non-lethal run simply just to do it, in my first playthrough I like messing with a bit of everything and not really being constricted. I usually consider those very specific run-throughs of a game (speed run, stealth run, non-lethal run, single-weapon run, etc) to be something to do in later playthroughs.
This is going to be a long two hours for me. I get off work at 5, get home around 6.
I called my wife to tell her to pick up the game from the downstairs office (UPS finally delivered it), and to install it for me, so I don't have to wait, only to find out that she had already popped it in and did the install for me before I asked. Damn she's awesome.
Now it's just the agonizing wait for my work day to be over, and my bus ride, which will hopefully not be terribly long.
I can't believe how quickly I went from being moderately interested in this game to "damn, I need to have this in my console now!!"
And it's all thanks to you guys and this damn thread. Why did I click the link? Why? I was just perusing GAF and saw the OT, and decided to take a quick, curious peek, and I was sucked in.
Damn you all...

Any impressions of playing without highlighting objects?

Castor Krieg said:
I think it's the only way to play it. It forces you to explore more, and the sense of discovery is joyous. The only disadvantage is that it appears to nullify stealth augmentations (i.e. field of vision, tag enemies, etc.)

I'm assuming that
is a bad idea, right? Seems fishy.

Going to do the same then. Want to take it slow and soak the atmosphere.

Can you elaborate on the augmentation part? Doesn't field of vision show on your radar?
Castor Krieg said:
It's been very manageable in my experience. Objects you can manipulate or pick up tend to stand out in one way or other. Boxes of ammunition will flash. Things like pocket secretaries and e-books are obvious unless completely hidden since they glow blue. After a point you also start to recognize what items look like so they become easier to spot as you progress. Walls you can punch through if you have the aug feature, like I posted in that pic on the previous page, a large and clearly visible crack running through them.
Not only do I think the highlighting in HR cheapens the exploration aspect, but it mars the picture and is distracting. I'd prefer some sort of middle ground closer to the original Deus Ex, with a much shorter range and only individual items highlighted, but if it's a choice between what's in HR now and nothing then that's a very easy choice.

I recommend you get it... it gets so good!BigJiantRobut said:
Though I'm very curious what happens when you don't get it...
In case there are any lurkers with old PCs umming and ahhing over a purchase, or for anyone else who fits that description, I will post some quick impressions from my 5 year old PC.
Specs:
AMD64 x4200+
2gb DDR RAM
2x7900gt
So, a kick ass computer from 5 years ago, but showing it's age well and truly now.
I only played for 1/2 an hour last night, but it runs perfectly fine at 1440x900, with most settings set to medium (except for advanced things like post processing, shadows and AA which were all off).
Load times are 10-15 seconds at most (though reading recent posts suggest that a patch to fix that may have been rolled out last night coincidentally) and I'm loving the game.

Apologies if it;s clearly mentioned somewhere, but is there a mandatory install for the PS3 and how big is it? Thanks
Ferrio said:
Hmmm, I guess experiences will vary. The only objects that I could potentially miss are credit chips and pocket pals, but they're intended to be hidden, so it feels right to me. If anything, it justifies my need to explore every nook and cranny.

You will get instant update if you mess that part.
I like highlighting. It makes me not have to hunt for stuff, and makes me feel like I have a computer game augmented vision brain thingy that makes things easier. 8D
At any rate, it's another option that I'm glad the game has. People have different preferences, in theory having options is an advantage of PC games, and in this case everyone has that option, I assume!

Alarmed does not count as being detected.. They have to turn to "Hostile", I believe.

I have reticle disabled and object highlight disabled. I found them both distracting. I wish I could disable the entire HUD. :/

I hate how weapon upgrades take up inventory space...it forces me to use it almost right away instead of save it for a later weapon. Is the 10MM pistol good even later on or should I try to save the ammo capacity upgrade I just found for something else?
Heavy said:
I don't see any point in forcing yourself to do something against your impulse on your first playthrough of a game. If you want the achievement get it later when you're looking for more reasons to replay the game. I guarantee you there are people that deserve to die in this game and you can damn well bet an achievement isn't going to fucking stop me from ending their lives.

The 10mm has been my weapon of choice throughout. The only time I haven't used it is when things have gone so Pete Tong that I've had to use my Combat Rifle...
