Does anyone own the official guide? Is it complete? How is the quality of the book? I think it would be nice to own the guide for this game.

There are plenty of ways in the level to beat him even if you are stealthy. First, lose him so he doesn't know where you are, next setup a trap for him. Look around the level and see what you can use. There are plenty of weapons and exploding barrels and poison canisters, etc.

I'll spoiler tag it just in case
second time you're in Hengsha, after I had to sneak through the harvester base to find Tong he gave me a mission to rescue his son. When I got to the building where he was I got that thank you for preordering message.
I guess the only good thing about it was the reward, which was a weapon that I haven't seen in the regular game yet

What are the major differences between the LE and standard guides?Ridley327 said:

Laser sight upgrade makes headshots much easier unless your aim is just that bad.
The laser sight isn't just a visual thing; it gives your 10mm perfect aim from the hip, functioning similarly to the laser sight in the original Deus Ex. The bullet goes where the red dot is. It's headshots galore. It's actually hilariously similar to the first game where a 10mm with a laser sight was basically 100% accurate even if your pistol skill was low.
I have to imagine the whole upgrade line for the 10mm in this game is itself a callback to the original Deus Ex, since upgrading a basic 10mm into a devastating weapon is one of the classic playthrough strategies in that game.
Trying to run this on my PC but I've gotten two hard crashes (black screen, sound stuck on where the game crashed, have to reboot).
I updated my drivers after the first crash so it's not that. What ever else could be the issue? I don't often play cutting edge PC games, I usually stick to indie fare with lighter requirements, so I'm at a loss.

Really nice-looking hardcover, at that.
I want it. Now. Triangle Jensen is awesome. Does it only come with the Collectors Edition in Europe? I want a copy in the US.

I asked this about 10-15 pages back and did not get an answer. However, I decided to get it anyways and so far as much as I have read it is really a good guide. It gives you a guide on how to do a mission in Stealth, Stealth-Combat, Combat. I did notice an error in it already though. The guide provided the 3 best answers when talking with a NPC, but the 3 they mention were not the best answers to get the result with the highest reward. Luckily, I had save right before this portion so I was able to re-load and took a stab at it myself and was able to accomplish the conversation with the best outcome.
Outside of that one error so far, I like the guide. Alot of information on weopons, upgrades etc. I think it was well worth the price.

Can someone find me a wallpaper of Jensen made up of triangles (like in the EU Collectors edition)?
Thanks.
Thanks.
alright am i seriously the only one getting this issue?
im asking cause im seeing it in a lot of games :/
this one's alright for the most part, but in bright places like that it really is terrible
basically shadow detail moves with me, but not smoth in any way, there's just a line a couple feet in front of me that "CUTS" shadows and makes them render properly as i move. The "line" moves with me wether i go forward or backwards. Its really distracting :/

Quick Guide to Augs
Reference point, Basically all stealth, mainly non-lethal, run outside the final stage.
The Absolute must haves
-Social Enhancer(2 points): It opens up many more options when it comes to dialogue trees and always gives you a safe point to fall upon if you messed up the first time.
-Hacking Capture(2-5, 4 points): Hacking is the most important stealth skill and exploration skill. Many items, secret rooms, short cuts, and in general, making the game more more playable.
-Hacking Stealth(1-3, 4 points): Reduces chance of detection by 15% for each point. Everything from 1-3 turns into 15% then, and 4s are at 35%. Save your nukes + pauses for 5's, and you'll basically ace everything. Only L5 pose any challenge then.
-Move Heavy Objects( 1 point): Does exactly that. Opens up new paths, lets you break windows or doors with heavy objects, etc.
-Increase Inventory(1-3, 3points). You can carry more stuff. Speaks for itself.
-Smart Vision(2 points): I feel like this varies between situational and needed. For exploration. You want it. Its how you find the hidden stuff. For combat, Radar+3rd person view is always going be your bread and butter.
-Icarus Landing System(2points): lets you fall heights and survive. You can fall a big distance in the game. It quiets you down...and on the Chinese hub which has a lot of vertical going. You'll want it to save many dumb deaths.
-Cyber Leg(2 points), Lets you jump higher. you want it. Opens up more spots, makes stealth and travel easier, etc.
More situational, but still useful
-Hacking Turrets( 1points): You'll encounter many more turrets in the game than robots. Making this skill a bit more useful.
-Recharge Rate(2-3, 2 points): This is where I feel you should invest the points into. It will let you burn out those melee quicker, which give you the most XP per take down. 50XP for non-lethal.
-Implant Breather(1 point): Lets you breath in gases. They have a few spots where it opens up more areas, makes things easier, and lets you stand in your own gas grenades.
-Reflex Booster(2points): You double the amount you take down. Its fantastic for many spots and lets you proceed quicker.
-Denal Armour + EMP Shielding(5 points): mainly, you'll want the EMP shielding which requires level two for it. Its a damage reduction which does help against the bosses, but the EMP shielding is where it is at. Everything is still doable with out it, but it just saves so much of a hassle when those moments with electricity come up. It also lets you drop EMP grenades on your own feet and shoot at a boss while they are stunned.
-Cloaking (1-3, 4 points): You'll only need one for the most part. Its not the typical I-win button even full upgraded. It drains quick. But the key is to use it in small bursts to get to spots that would otherwise be tricky. Like the other side of a lazer fence or moving across a turret's FoV. If you invest more, it gives you some time to drastically move around with it. But once again, it turns those energy bars quick.
Upgrade if you want, but not needed.
-Radar 2(1 point): You initially start with it and its completely competent on its own. Having it always active without having to see the guards making it slightly easier.
-Hacking Robots( 1 point): Outside of a single encounter, which is still very doable without it. They are never a problem. Very clear set paths + easy to read.
-Energy Level(3-5, 3 points): I'm sure others will say differently. But your recharge only works on a bar which isn't completely empty. So unless you are chugging bars, you'll be down to 1 bar quickly. Since Melee, Wall Breaks, use one bar instantly. And other skills burn through them quickly. Move up if you want pure stealth run, but stock up on bars too to combine with cloak.
-Typoon(1-2, 3 points): Oddly enough, I never needed to use it once. As long as you explore and have good hacking. The time never called once for me to use it.
Pretty much useless
-Stealth Enhancer(Everything in it, 7 points): Radar and being able to go third person is more than enough. Ones like Smart Vision make it only more irrelevant.
-Hacking Analyzer(2 points): Only one I didn't even try, because I never once thought I needed it. Hacking Stealth is all you need.
-Hyper-Oxy(1-2, 2 points). You don't really sprint in missions and the hubs aren't particularly big. You also recharge sprint so quick anyways.
-Recoil(1-2, 2 points): Useless, you shouldn't be spam shooting as it is and recoil is hardly an issue with any weapon.
-Aim Stabilizer(3 points): Game really just doesn't allow for run and gunning outside a single stage. Enemies gun you down to fast and the aiming on the weapons that keep quiet is already very good.
-Flash suppressant(1 point): Outside of mines that don't kill you, never once had a flash thrown at me.
-Cooldown Timer(1point), Visual keys, audio keys, and just playing the game makes this so very useless.
-Silent run(1-3, 3 points): I had it but never used it. I'm crouched anytime which produces zero sound anyways. Simply moving slow and efficiently makes it useless. Drains those energy bars once more.
-Sprint enhancer(1point): if you want to move faster. Its fine, but once again. You regen sprint fast enough, the hubs aren't big, nor are the levels, and spiriting just draws unwanted attention. The only use I had for it was with getting more distance out of cloaking and longer jumps.

Welp, they sure lay the "Hyron Project" stuff on thick. Either it plays into the last few levels, or they're making room for a Deus Ex: Bioshock sequel. The whole "You need see it to believe it, Jensen. And maybe some day you will..." was rather unsubtle on Darrow's part.
Hold onto that weapon. 1 clip will destroy anything before it even fires at you -_-Derrick01 said:grenade launcher
I hope you get an answer on this one, but I will say this. A later stretch of the game is going to be virtually impossible if we're not allowed to have enemies go hostile on us. I really hope it's just actual base/camera alarms.Linkzg said:
If it's not then stock up on cloak and extra energy. A maxed inventory full of gas grenades may also be necessary.
I am kind of hoping that the sequel for this game is another prequel.

There's questionable widespread usefulness of some augs, but at the end of the day each aug is only as useful as you want it to be, what you need, and how you play. These two in specific are very useful for my build. It prevents me having to always crouch behind cover and slowly work my way through a room, and instead allows me to sprint and jump around like a ninja, taking motherfuckers out without a sound.

It's not impossible, and I'm pretty sure it counts the scenario towards the end of the game (Mindlog said:
you're talking about the crazed workers, right? If so, there's plenty of paths that make it possible to do it with total stealth. It's totally possible - just difficult.

Turning off DX11 worked for me, I was having the same problem. Others have said to turn off v sync and triple buffering in game and force it through your video card.
I'm still having a problem when I exit to steam. It freezes my pc when syncing at 27% every time.
Is there an alternate path to the final stretch?Revolutionary said:It's not impossible, and I'm pretty sure it counts the scenario towards the end of the game (). That particular scene withyou're talking about the crazed workers, right? If so, there's plenty of paths that make it possible to do it with total stealth.

I basically ran to and melee'd everyone as fast as I could without a care for stealth and the Foxiest of the Hounds still popped at the end.saving Malik

That goes way beyond shadow draw distance, those textures are all fucked up too. Try wiping drivers (driver sweeper) and install the latest set.SalsaShark said:

Maybe your card doesn't support latest shader model or some gig like that. I had similar problem with an old Geforce card where things used to be "foggy".SalsaShark said:
Edit; fuck iphone's autocorrect!
Playing slow and really starting to enjoy the game more and more. I would like more praxis points to spend early on though.
I have seen something like that consistently in Quake 3/Live where it is a perfect portion of a circle in the fov but I do not know what the problem is called. Well in those it is the inverse, good graphics up front and a very clear line where the game needs AF or whatever fixes that.
are you running any custom aa/af/texture/lod settings in a control panel?SalsaShark said:
