So is there some kind of trick to doing a two-person takedown? Are nonlethal ones even available? I'm at this one console in the Tai Yung tower where two security guys are standing next to each other, and it feels like I should be able to do a two-man takedown, but I just can't seem to manage it. Should it be lethal or is there some trick to it? (And yes, I have the aug)

A GEP Gun takedown is always the most silent way to eliminate Manderley.
SpaceDrake said:
You can do both lethal and non-lethal double takedowns the same way you perform a lethal and non-lethal single takedown. If enemies are friendly towards you, which happens in TYM tower, there won't be a prompt but as long as you get close to both of them you should be able to do it. If you're scared it won't trigger, just save before trying a takedown and reload if it fails.

It won't give him a prompt if the guards are friendly, IIRC.

You need to get about an equal distance between 2 guards (the distance to perform a takedown).SpaceDrake said:
You should then get a prompt to take out both.

It's context-sensitive, so if those guys aren't flagged for it, you can't do it. You might as well just shotgun their faces instead if it won't let you double-takedown their asses, serves them right.

But how do I understand this!
Man, saving
was great, there was these sniping dudes up on a roof that i couldnt get to on time, so i threw an exploding barrel up there, shot it in the air; boom, both dead. One of my favorite things to do on an FPS, and even more fun if you are augmented, lol.
First part of the game when i realized it really does work as a guns blazing affair as well.

Which is amusing here where you're bashing skulls, breaking arms and smashing people to the floor. The only one that's any silent at all is the choke from behind, but even with that one he just lets them fall to the ground loudly like a sack of potatoes.
Also anyone seen this lethal takedown in the full game? At 1 min 58 secs.

Video is labeled preview/beta so I dunno if they removed it from the full game. Because that thing is pretty fucking neat and makes Jensen seem like an even crazier mechanical freak monster.
Okay, wrapped up the Detroit hub (I think) and starting to love the game a lot more, if for the wrong reasons.
After stunning
, I dragged him down, out of the apartment building to the quest giver. Unfortunately, the game civilian AI took over and she started cowering in front of the unconscious body. I was forced to drag the body all over Detroit until I found a sewer to throw it in (after getting killed by the police a few times).
His face is down so hopefully it's not a spoiler:
Also had to deal with an alert in the
, after 30 minutes of which I had finally resolved to kill anyone when the alert just disappeared altogether.
Finally, searching Detroit for hidden items was a fun way to remind myself this is Deus Ex. Somehow I managed to miss many of the potential paths during the missions and felt railroaded; by exploring I got a better sense of what the environment is. I managed to find two Praxis Kits which I used to make my inventory big enough to carry the rocket launcher and sniper rifle. Having more weapons also made the combat more fun, as in Deus Ex. I'm basically playing a stealth-until-it-fails lethal run, so it's nice to have many tools on hand.
I still think some of the changes are for the worse, but I respect that they tried their best to compromise between Deus Ex complexity and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Wow, that is a great song.The English Conquistador said:
It's not on the soundtrack which is pretty shitty. A lot music from the game isn't on there. Luckily, the guy/girl who uploaded that song has all of the rest.
Really loved walking into Jensens room, as the window blinds come up and the birds fly past the window. All the while, this music playing in the background.
Poor Jensen.

I'm listening to that song while reviewing research data about cardiovascular implants. It's very appropriate. I would buy the soundtrack if it gets released.

I only do lethal takedowns on hobos, because doing them during a mission is a surefire way to get seen and lose the Ghost bonus.

I liked the approach in HR. He's not a government agent, but he ends up stumbling upon some major conspiracy.mAcOdIn said:
That said, I didn't feel like the game had any real jaw dropping twists like the original DX did. I enjoyed the story, but it lacked a real "HOLY WTF" moment that both DX and IW had.

I don't often replay games soon after beating them, but despite having a copy of Grand Knights History on the way, I'm really really tempted to just start a new game of DXHR. What a fucking awesome game.
I think I may start with the lethal takedowns. Only against people out to kill me. I'll leave people who chat to each other to live (if their convo is cool).L00P said:
Sprinting down a corridor, being chased by gunmen and jumping down an elevator shaft like a goddamn bad ass is amazing. The other option (from what I could see) was to call the elevator next to the open shaft down I think.
Need to get dermal armor next. Followed by aim stabilizer and silent running/jumping.
Anyone know the use of the infolink upgrades? Allows you to receive what communication anywhere? Seems pretty useless.
Enco said:
I never grabbed it myself but that sounds kind of useful.
Edit: Actually, I think Jensen has Infolink maxed by default, similar to the Sentinel RX augmentation.
Coxswain said:
Thanks for the clarification. Although after reading the description, being able to wirelessly interact with computer terminals seems like it could be a cool augmentation.
Edit: Wait, so if Jensen has maxed Infolink by default, which should allow him to wirelessly interact with computers according to the flavor text, why does he stand up in plain sight for everyone to see and shoot at while interacting with computers ?
Just finished my first play though. Pretty much played as a terminator killing everything that stood in my way. Busting through walls, doing lethal take downs, mowing people down with the heavy rifle, and so on. Pretty much just tearing the place up. Really enjoyed it.
Now I think I am going to try an non-lethal/stealth build and see if i can keep that up to the end.
I do have a question though I have read that the tranq rifle and the stun gun are bugged and sometime kill or when you come back sometimes people who were knocked out are now dead. Is this true and if so does the game count it as a kill?

Just started the game tonight. 4 hours in.
Oh wow.
OH WOW.
Game is unbelievable. Been exploring every nook and cranny - I love when a game is littered with in game "lore" to enrich the atmosphere. Absolutely incredible so far.

Just finished it. Awesome, awesome ride.
I got Foxiest of Hounds and Pacifist. Two very satisfying achievements.
Anyone else notice that 'ol Lambert from Splinter Cell shows up at the very beginning of the game? Well, it's not really Lambert, but the voice actor that portrays him. Was hoping to see more of him in the game, lol. Especially since I played the game all Splinter Cell-Ninja-Like!
