It's electricity. You can just run through it if you want. I suggest looking for the card though, it's a good quest.
There is a way to get the card but it's kind of counter-intuitive.

Hard to say I've been getting them totally out of order it seems.
I've got 3, 8 and 10 in progress just now.
And 4, 5, 7 and 9 are completed.
Haven't found 0, 1, 2 or 6
Where should I look for it then? I don't have much indication so far.

I wish I could look cool in a trenchoat like Adam does. I know I'd look like an absolute dweeb, though, so I wouldn't even try.
There is one in a vent in Koller's workshop. It's hidden, I'll spoil it in a second line so you can look for it.
Behind a picture frame, the picture in question is next to a black and white framed picture.
I actually just threw a frag grenade at the door then ran away and came back later lol

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Can someone please explain hacking in more detail for me?
Questions off the top of my mind:
Is the best route randomly generated, or is there always the same best path?
If the odds of getting discovered are 45%, is there a RNG in the background. Or, if it gets me detected, if I load my last save and try again, will it always get me detected?
What are the abilities on the bottom left? I remember stealth and overclock.
Is there something else I'm missing? I'm on a level 2 pad right now, and I just cannot seem to hack it. What makes me better? What makes it go faster? I just don't understand exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
Help is greatly appreciated!!

It took me a long time to open up and not care about the 'cheevo's and just play Deus Ex how I want to in that moment, in Human Revolution. When I did, it was a really liberating playthrough.
Also, I'm not going to be able to play this until GOTY is probably out, I'm insanely jealous of you all. Enjoy
The routes are randomly generated at first but if you were to exit before failing and try again I believe it will be the same for those 5 attempts or whatever you have.
There is RNG in the background for getting detected. You could save scum it until RNG is nice to you.
Reveal shows the paths through the system. Some have a sort of fog of war mechanic that make it hard to tell which way to go.
Datascan shows you the contents of Datastores, optional nodes that if you go out of your way to get have rewards in them. Datascan will let you know if it's worth it or not.
The idea is that you look at the lines that connect the nodes and plan out the path to the green orb that has the lowest numbers along it. Higher number nodes will have higher detection chances and also take longer. There will often be datastores with credits, xp, or hacking items in them that you can get if you are good enough at hacking to go out of your way and still succeed.
You can fortify nodes you have taken to slow down the red bar that tries to make its way to your start point after you have been detected. The more nodes you have fortified along the path the red bar is taking, the longer you have to finish.
Later on they start throwing some tricks at you but you should have the knowledge by then to figure em out.

For those of you who are reasonably far along: if I've never played a Deus Ex game, is this a decent one to start with. I'm reading mixed reviews that seem to range from "Okay followup to HR" to "Hey, this is pretty fun! Good progression!" and can't really tell if you need familiarity with the series or not. So yeah, is it worth jumping into for a beginner?
Tried reading through some of the thread (admittedly skipped around and ctrl+F'd) to see if this had been discussed, but no luck.

I actually didn't know there was a Naturals and Augs sections out the train, so I was riding the Naturals section and wondering why everyone was staring at me like the first 10 hours. I don't do it anymore because the cutscene after the ride where the cop hassles you for riding in the Naturals section is annoying and unskippable. An amazing game representation of the inconvenience of the casual discrimination of the Jim Crow era in the South, come to think of it.

Yeah, you can upgrade your inventory carrying space twice. It's an aug.
It's not working.
Weird, it works for me.
What body part is it?

Final mission I and think I found something.
Will report later.
EDIT: yep, it was possible!

Arms probably, but I'm not at my computer to check. It's definitely there, though, just look through them all.
Did the first tutorial missions for the praxis kit.
It seems alright, dunno how much I'll mess with it but there is some interesting stuff in there.
I ended up doing a bunch of side quest chains because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get out the area surrounding Jensen's apartment. I initially tried using the metro because I didn't realize you had to activate a thing. Took me awhile and at that point I had no choice since all the objective markers were on the other side of the grey wall.
Question regarding Otar.
Also, two hours of play and no crashes.
Question regarding Otar.
If I stole the calibrator and knocked out some of his guys, can I still talk to him and initiate his quest chain? If not, I'm just gonna gas him and take his revolver.

I need some help for the first thing you need to do in the hub (sewer path). Deus Ex immersive sim-iness is failing me, and I don't understand why ...
So, it seems simple enough. The power switch needs to be on to be able to interact with the panel that opens the door. But I take damage even when I stand on my boxes. Trying to interact with the panel forces you to stand on the metal floor, so that fries you.
Do I have to use one of the explosive barrels to force the door open, is that it? Unfortunately, I sold all my non-tranq guns, so I don't know how I would explode the barrel ...
All my augs are destroyed, so they do not help me

You can't shoot them but if you turn them off they stay off. Same with TVs if you get tired of hearing the same Picus news report for the 479th time.
Do you like open-world jank a la Fallout and Human Revolution? I'm enjoying the game, but it does try my patience at times. You'll either get used to certain things or you won't.
Seems okay. Kinda reminds me of Volume in terms of look. It staying good depends on how much the microtransaction shit gets in the way.

Going full combat is still annoying because of how scarce ammo is in the early game, if you hose it around you'll find yourself out of ammo on all your guns pretty quickly.
It helps if you are always going for headshots to earn more XP but even then if you shoot about 10 heads your pistol is now empty. Sigh.

Can you craft Praxis kits? I haven't crafted anything yet not do I need to but I have almost 2000 parts
As long as it's not Fallout 4.
I loved Human Revolution. Probably one of my games of the generation.
Good enough for me.
Also, can throwing things at people knock them out in this game? In HR with the upgrade they usually die or will occasionally get staggered depending on the type of enemy and what you throw.
