Alright, thanks, I guess the rumor about the non-interaction bonus was just people getting confused over the system. In any case, I'm very familiar with the ghost and smooth operator bonuses because the only times I didn't get them when I played the leak is when I did my "kill everything and find all the magnum ammo to plan the optimum magnum ammo path" run.

Yeah, the game definitely rewards you more if you go the stealth, non-lethal route. As it should, because it's considerably more of a challenge than just shooting everything. e: Fans of Deus Ex will be happy to know it's definitely possible to gently caress with the AI in hilarious ways. My favourite: Picking up a fridge, switching the cloaking aug on and walking up to a patrolling guard. He was slightly perplexed by the floating fridge, until it hit him square in the head, alerting several other guards to its presence. They're now on the lookout for rogue household appliances Or the ever classic "throwing bodies off roofs and seeing if I can hit civilians". A suicide gone terribly wrong.

Jarate posted:I was entertained enough by the series for what it was, but I also did read it in one sitting. The most  part, for me, was probably the whole bathroom scene with the nano-detonators (applicable nanotech, in 2027? Erm...) and all the extremely cheesy lines they both used. Well, either that, or the entire "Sorry Adam, the plot demanded I act like a total wuss and allow myself to be captured so that Durant could be an even bigger cliche bad guy, even though I was built up to be a strong and snappy chick. No, don't kill yourself over me!" *explodes*But yeah, the comic was just way too generic. If it had more conspiracy stuff and tighter writing and art which felt more connected with the game's style and feel, it would have been decent. I cannot deny the series isn't entertaining, though, just not for reasons the authors would want.

Yeah, you can randomly punch out civilians and the others, despite seeing everything, still run around screaming "What the gently caress was that?" It wouldn't be Deus Ex if that didn't happen.

Honestly I was worried that a great number of the completely insane things you can do in 1 would be eliminated in the name of "streamlining" but that one gif blew those worries away. I still probably won't do that kind of stuff though, I'll be saving it for Saint's Row 3. It's still good to know it's there.

Tecman posted:I'm kind of curious. What did you think of that scene where David Sarif and Malik go from CEO & company pilot to Doctor Phil / relationship counciler & personality troll, calling Adam something like mr. Grumpy? I think that was honestly the funniest part of the series. quote:Well, either that, or the entire "Sorry Adam, the plot demanded I act like a total wuss and allow myself to be captured so that Durant could be an even bigger cliche bad guy, even though I was built up to be a strong and snappy chick.

My expectations are now set sky high based on this thread and my recent trip through youtube's best & most creative Deus Ex moments! I also think the Sarif Industries / Purity First promos are some of the most excellent ads I've ever seen for a game. Just a couple of days to go...

Jarate posted:All that said, haven't you read the novel? Does that fare any better? Overall it's an okay read, nothing particularely special, but no big downers as well. Plus, it's much more careful about spoilers, it genuinely gives you additional backstory into some of the antagonists and the only downside I can remember right now is that it could be felt as too generic at times, without the backup "so silly it makes it entertaining and good material to laugh at" value of the comic book series. You can really tell that the comic guys were just some dudes, whereas the novelist (James Swallow) actually worked on the game as well in the narrative department. There's one thing that still makes me groan, but now that I know it's also in-game, I'd rather not mention it. Plus the game's context about it is much better.

Looks like the animation for getting chokeslammed is physics-based and not the same fall every time. I hope this is true. If possible, anybody and everybody standing near a ledge is getting chokeslammed off of it.

Anyone here know if the augmented edition motion comic is the whole thing or what? Also how spoilery is the book? I've already seen the sarif website so I know the thing about purity first not being what they seem but not much more than that. I have till friday till I can play so I can probably read the book between now and then.

Saints Row 2 was the same way, press button for random move. edit: Before I get someone jumping down my throat, I know that it's not "random" in DX:HR and it's based on the situation, where you are, and how many people there are blah blah blah you should still be in control of how you kick someone's rear end.

There are like three dozen different animations altogether, separated by combinations of single, double, lethal and non-lethal, and direction. So it is either make it random, have just four animations, or make intrusive button presses to choose which animation you want every time you perform a takedown, which will be very often. Edit: There are so many, it is random for many of them. You aren't going to shoryuken someone if you start a takedown from their back, but one will be randomly selected from the possible ones from that angle.

You always lose the ability to do your current round of sidequests when you get locked out of that area. The game always warns you about this in the 'are you sure you want to leave the area Y/N' confirmation message, though.

Pretentious Turtle posted:About the Praxis point limit, do you think you just stop gaining XP once you've gotten all the Praxis points you can get for XP, or do you continue to gain it, but won't get any more PP? I guess it won't matter if I feel satisfied with what I've gotten by the time I get the last one. I don't think that you'll stop getting XP once you get the max Praxis points, as that might sort of not-encourage side questing. What's more likely is that you can keep getting XP and points, but there's only so many things you can do for the points in the game, rather than a hard cap.

I'm pretty sure they've said you'll only get enough Praxis points to get about 70% of the abilities.
