Hey thanks guys for the Praxis tips. I just got to Hengsha, about how far along am I? If pretty far I might just restart the game, I'm sure I missed some things in the Detroit hub.

gooby on rails posted:Yes, but with the set of areas to visit changed and any unresolved sidequests are permanently cancelled at the end of any one visit. I already missed a couple of sidequests due to the UI not doing a great job of tracking it for me. My concern is this is probably one of those games I will only play through once (which is sad because it deserves more, but I don't have the time) so it might be better to reboot and start over with a more focused praxis path rather than muddle my way through it.

gooby on rails posted:You might want to buy the Typhoon just in case the boss fights get frustrating. The main priorities I think should be inventory expansions and exploration-related augs (Hacking, punch through walls, high jump, lift heavy objects) that get you more XP and items. Things to hold off for last are probably Fortify (take Stealth instead), Social Enhancer (only needed for a select few social battles, most can be solved by not skipping content and reloading your save if you gently caress up), extra batteries (take recharge rate instead), recoil compensation (sucks) and a second point in radar (sucks).

Is it possible to legitimately get every aug upgrade unlocked? I have a feeling with the amount of XP they throw at you it is.

I stayed up all last night playing this game, and I've just beaten the first boss. I'm back in Detroit. I'm playing on the easiest difficulty setting using a non-lethal stealth setup. I'm going to play the game again on the highest difficulty after I complete this playthrough, but I'm trying to earn most of the Steam achievements on this playthrough. I think I messed up the Pacifist achievement because on my infiltrating the DRB hangout, I punched through a wall and grabbing a DRB gang member and snapping his neck. I don't know why it did this, but does this count against the Pacifist achievement? If it does it seems extremely ridiculous for the game to automatically kill someone when all I wanted to do was punch through a wall. On this note, does hacking and setting turrents to fire on your enemies count against Pacifist? I can't think of anything else that would count against, but is there anything I should watch for to earn this achievement?

I can confirm that a boxguard exploding after being hit with an emp grenade and killing a guy doesn't gently caress up pacifist. In other news, I found the xray vision a lot more useful than the radar, just flick it on for half a second every now and then so as not to waste power.

My first playthrough is also a pacifist run (I was going to go for no-alerts no-deaths but that would require too much savescumming for a first run). By the time I got to Shanghai I regret doing a no-death run. I can't wait to play this game again with a shotgun and a sniper rifle.

It's not that hard, I did it on my first playthrough. The patrol paths are pretty easy to see, so slipping past only takes slightly longer than killing them.

Finally got my pacifist run  ,but I somehow blew foxiest of the hounds.  What's the status you have to avoid? I got "Smooth operator" every mission, which I thought meant you never raised the alarm, which is what Foxiest was, I thought. I mean, I still got "Alarmed" in some situations, like Zhao's penthouse and Malik's Crash Site but there's absolutely no way to avoid those, is there? Also, I wound up with 207,000 EXP at the end of my latest run, missing only six points worth of augs, and I was super-duper thorough. Aside from ghosting every mission and getting a headshot on everything every time, I think that'd drop you down to four aug points remaining at best. I would venture to say it's mathematically impossible to get every single aug point, but I bet if you're super-crazy you could come close.

Yes, those are unavoidable and don't break the achievement. Getting spotted by a security camera does, though.

Getting Pacifist and Foxiest of the Hounds on my first playthrough was really liberating. Now I just do whatever the hell I want. Unfortunately, the exp hound in me often ends up doing a non-lethal takedown anyway; it's just that now they get a silenced 10mm bullet to the head afterward.

It took like 50 reloads. Edit: What if you ghosted every mission, hacked every possible thing, and used takedowns or double takedowns on every single possible enemy in the game? I'm totally trying this. KillHour fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jul 27, 2012 |

I have a storyline question that I hope somebody will just fill me in on becuase I don't want to restart my game. I talked Zeke down in the Sarif factory stand-off. Then I forgot to meet up with him back in Detroit before I left for the FEMA facility. When I got to Sandoval's "apartment" Zeke was waiting with the bait and hit me with an EMP. (I think my crowning achievement in single player games was hitting him with the stun gun even through all the poo poo EMPs do to you....) If I were to do his little side-mission back in Detroit at the beginning of the game, would he be more hospitable to me in Sandoval's downtown apartment?

Also, the EMP mines are under the body and attached to the praxis kit by a wire. If you move the body, you can deactivate the mines, and take the praxis kit without being zapped.

I hacked literally everything that could be in the game, I think. Like, I'd get inside a room and then find another way outside and around it just so I could hack the locks on the other doors, too. I'd hack computers I had keycodes for, hell, I hacekd my own computer in my office. And I never, ever, *Ever* left a hack without every single prize. By the time I got to the last area I had about 80 nukes and 55 stop viruses, not to mention fifty grand in the wallet. It took some monumental fridge and vending machine and copier shuffling, especially in the ground floor of the police station- since I won't even knock out any of the officers- but it's possible to hack things even in relatively "Public" areas, and reap all the sweet sweet exp from them.

But there is still not enough exp in the game for every aug. You can get a good majority of the upgrades, but not all.

If you do that, the dead security guy trap (with praxis kit) won't be there as far as I know.
