Which augs did you guys get early in the game?

Soical aug sounds pretty sweet to me.

[Greatbacon]

I've got a couple hacking augs so far, the first rank of dermal armor, the base cranial stealth aug, and maybe something else right now.

I figured I'd wait till a second playthrough to pick up the social aug, that way I'll won't be tempted to min/max conversations.

[Surf314]

I've been saving my points until I need to do something I currently can't. So I picked up lots of hacking augs as I needed them, I got the social aug to help with random shit (I told this one guy to man up after he wanted me to go kill people for him and he just gave me what I wanted instead), I got the punch through walls aug because I got to a dead end in this one path and I had a feeling that I could break on through to the other side, and I got the lift heavy shit aug because heavy shit needed to be lifted.

BTW, the punching through walls aug is definitely worth it.

i have hacking basically maxed except for turrets/robots/datanode analyzing (sounds pretty worthless). it's just so goddamn useful. also lifting heavy stuff is useful. i've been thinking about saving up for the emp shielding aug, but we'll see if i actually go through with that :-X

[Eschatos]

I keep wanting to get invisibility and max it out but then I come across a situation that requires wall punching or heavy lifting and I blow all my points.

it's cool, but it isn't worth it until you have at least 3 batteries.

[Squishy3]

Lol, got pretty far in one mission then I tried to takedown a guy when I had no batteries.

Hacking robots and turrets is definitely not worthless, trust me there. You get the EXP for the kills made, AND a room full of people who you can loot/don't know you're there.

I wish I had more time to play this. ;_;

New update

• A frequent issue for AMD/ATI hardware users that can cause the game to crash on startup.
Improvements to loading speed. The speed increase depends on machine spec and settings, but loading time improvements of over • 50% have been measured on some machines.

Some control fixes:

• Diagonal movement is no longer faster as intended.
• Adjustments have been made to mouse sensitivity in response to user feedback.
• Mouse sensitivity for X and Y axis can still be configured separately, but is now consistent when set to default settings.
• The range of settings for mouse sensitivity has been adjusted to provide for more accurate adjusting.
• The default mouse sensitivity has been altered to be somewhat less sensitive.

The fact diagonal movement made you faster kinda bugged me honestly, but so glad they improved loading speeds. Waiting for like 30 seconds between loading screens gets old fast when you have no idea where anything is since China's confusing as hell.

My character is smooth operator infiltrator in that I don't kill and prefer to ghost an area rather than attack at all.

So in that light, I maxed out Stealth/cloaking stuff first. Very worth it in my eyes. Max cloak mixed with max batt regen means I can jump between cover like a sly motherfucker without anyone noticing, and then stopping right before a battery runs out, so it regens again (which is much better regen when fully upgraded, though not mindblowingly good. I wish the end level regen was that your first two batteries regen'd, would have been much better).

I can get through a whole area like that without using any batteries. I only use batteries for cloak when I need to get out of dodge or need to sneak past a wide open area with not much cover.

I love how widly different everyone's approaches are to their first augmentations they choose, and how equally bad ass they all make you out to be.

i mean the datanode analyzing is worthless

[backfire]

I try to "try" to ghost an area whenever I can, but a lot of the time I end up shooting em with either my tranq or silenced lazer-sighted pistol depending on how much I hate them.

There was this bit a near the end of the hub-2 end mission thing where there was this long corridor with a guard covering the only way in (could not find any other ways in) with a camera covering him and a guard in another room watching the hallway through a window. What I ended up doing was take down the guard in the room, then shot the wall near the other guard just out of range of the camera so when he walked over to it to check it out, I shot him with a dart and he collapsed out of view. I could just not figure out any possible way to ghost through that area.



...god I worded that awkwardly...

[Greatbacon]

So just left Detroit and started wandering around Hub 2.

Oh my god i never want to leave this place, I just want to wander around it forever and soak up the sights.

Needs moar this though

A civilian was whistling the original Deus Ex theme song, which I thought was pretty cool.

This game is hard for me to play because it's hard for me to make simple decisions when it comes to what augs i want....

SO MANY CHOICES.

Also, no one has been killed by me. I wonder if I'll be able to continue that.

I was going to do a no-kill run, then bought the punching-through-walls aug and accidentally snapped someone's neck. Fuck.

[Luinbariel]

We went to our typical thursday night dinner with friends; entire conversation was about how awesome this game is. I like it.

Also Rilnac is a monster

Load to a previous save before you got that aug?
