Having the AUDs would keep it from being a roadblock, but it's still sort of treating the symptoms and not the disease. Still, it would be a good idea to patch them in to every version; if and when they make the next game they should overhaul hacking entirely if they intend it to be as important as it is in HR. (Also, just for anyone keeping score, I'm pretty sure level 3 hacking is also a requirement in Acquaintances Forgotten, as you can't completely search the storage locker without getting at the computer. I didn't look too hard for the code, but I'm pretty sure it's not in the dude's apartment or anything.)Wallach said:
Actually, most standard doors will break if you deal enough damage to them. Of course, there aren't a lot of standard doors in the main mission areas, but you can get into apartments and stuff by using frag grenades as makeshift lockpicks.toasty_T said:

It'll take a while to figure out if there actually aren't codes for these, really. I'm not actually sure if there really aren't codes for stuff like Bar Tab or Shanghai Justice yet. Frankly I'm not as concerned with that issue as much as how overboard the rewards are for hacking in general.

you know you don't need to hack that much depending on how you play
there are only a few places where you need to hack, and they're low level with ways to get the passwords instead.

I guess it does get quite a lot. You can usually blow doors open though.Solo said:
For the mission around the investigator one (in your return to Detroit), do you have to go through
Zeke's apartment to get to the hidden bunker?

Eh... no, I think actually we're complaining because it's the opposite, there places you need to get access to with no known ways to get the password instead, so you're boned unless you can hack it. What's worse is that these instances come at the latter end of sidequests so you waste your time doing everything leading up to that moment for nothing. It's a broken system. If you don't put points into hacking, there'll be a point in a sidequest where you'll be asked to hack something, and the game does not respond at all if you can't. You're just left with the sidequest hanging.Linkzg said:
The sidequests should only require level 1 hacks if it's the only way to do it, like in the main quests. Or someone should have seriously reconsidered removing such an important item to get around the game being broken for non-hackers and giving it to Gamestop as DLC...
aristotle said:There are codes for everything. It lists all of them by section and location in the official guide. Even the lockers/computers without a personal journal or email that lists the codes, they're built into the game
Sure, but if the game never actually offers the player the code in some fashion, I wouldn't really consider it a valid option. But there are a lot of ways to get codes, some of which are just in the environment so I wouldn't be surprised if people simply haven't found them all yet.
Yup, that's what I meant.Timber said:
I didn't know that at all :lol
Things are getting pretty confusing.
I've started killing people now. Before it was just one or two guys but now I have zero tolerance for people shooting at me. After everything I've been through, I have the right to pop a bullet in a few heads.

which sidequest are you talking about?
off the top of my head, I don't remember doors or terminals that didn't an alternative to hacking. it could be a passcode on a body, or in a low level computer, or somewhere in the area.
you may be right. I haven't tested it. The one time I got stuck behind a level 5 door, I looked around and found a password. most other times I had the password, but hacked anyway for xp.
right now I'm going through as robocop Jensen with as little sneaking and hacking as possible. I certainly hope there aren't places where you get stuck.
I finally dealt with my third boss problem, and in the process discovered something which might be useful for anyone else having trouble.
If you have the turret hacking and the strength augmentations, you can hack the turret in the Singapore facility and lug it all the way around to the elevator that goes down to the third boss. As long as you're actually carrying it when you step forward to trigger the cutscene, it ends up set up just in front of the doors and will shoot the shit out of the boss if he comes in range. It's not indestructible of course but it might give struggling players enough of an edge to beat him.
As for myself, the PC version has 99 save slots unlike the console, so I just rolled back to a save just before the biochip recall announcement and redid the stuff, taking care not to go to the LIMB clinic this time. A Typhoon blast plus a hail of lead from my captured turret meant Jaron was dead in no time. I even managed to make room in my inventory for his plasma rifle!

One of the reasons I love the script in this game - there are so many incidental guard and bypasser conversations, it really makes the game world a much more real place. I was always a bit reluctant to snipe guards from afar since they would usually be having a conversation about something going on in the world or in that location that was interesting to listen to, once you got closer to them.

You can still go to the clinic and opt not to get a chip. This way you can buy another 2 praxis kits.
Solo said:
Yep, and by the time you've maxed out hacking, you don't need nukes, and you only need stop worms every once in a while. Every hack is basically just a 20 second long annoyance with no chance of being caught, especially if the red stack thingie is close to your origin and you can just take it over in 2 steps.
I hacked every computer I came across and ended up getting enough XP to max out everything except the stealth enhancement stuff and hacking analyze stuff.

They got tired of all of these script kiddies hacking their way into their buildings.. so they changed back to physical locks.

I fought my way out of that level and still received the foxiest hound achievement after beating the game. Doesn't matter when the alert modes are scripted into the story. You just can't cause one yourself to get the achievement.

Weird request, but could anyone get me a screenshot of the continue load screen if you start up the game and are currently in the DRB/Antenna mission? It should look like this only it will be on 5 instead of 1:

Definitely this. It makes such a difference. It reminds me of the woman's scream you can hear occasionally when in the back alleys near the gas station in DETluxarific said:
Does the Biochip upgrade turn off all your passive augs too (like jump height, dermal armour?) because I one-shot him on normal using a combat rifle I picked up off the ground at the start and had some ammo. Maybe used an EMP or conc grenade on a stun. Pretty annoying not knowing how much health I had so I used hypostims liberally.
The second boss though, wow that was a doozy, especially since I opted to not take the Typhoon and I didn't get electrical damage immunity, I just had to win through attrition by stunning her during her charge and then making off with a couple of headshots with my pistol. That was by far the hardest boss fight for me anyways.
I wish the punch-through-walls aug applied to door strength (or any items with a health bar) so I could punch through them instead of having to waste inventory space for rockets or needlessly hack (more like XP farming) every lock.

what the biochip upgrade does! IT's clear now that it's a ploy to disable Jensen for the enemy's advantage later in the game

Arrow keys will move between those scenes during load (unless you just load too fast to get there from your latest save)
Here you go though! http://www.abload.de/img/dxhr2011-08-3112-58-46kjcx.png
