lol my brother did too, he's pissed.

I did my best sneaking by everyone too, and also missed the hostages. I decided to reload just before zeke anders and back track all the way to the beginning, taking out every guard one by one with tranqualizer darts or knocking them out. If you search hard enough you find exactly enough tranq darts (assuming you never miss) and energy boosts to get the job done.

Much better xp that way and way more interesting to take your time hacking all the terminals and reading the emails and communications between the bad guys. Then I upped my hacking to lvl 4 and hacked all the doors and terminals in the office. Took me almost 4 hours before I set my first foot outside in Detroit.

I choose stealth gameplay although I had to kill everyone cuz I didn't have any augmentations yet. Before I got my augmentations fixed I went straight to the women's restroom (you are not a woman Adam o_0). I was running late becuz I had to speak with everyone. Since it's the first level I went for a stungun. After putting some guards to sleep, I ended up in a room that is impossible to sneak by. So I did a little backtracking killed one guard and got myself a pistol. Somehow I didn't equip my stungun. 3 alarmed guards are still in this room. 7 stun ammo, 2 machinepistol ammo, and 10mm 4 rounds left. I also forgot to grab weapons of sleeping guards at the start.

I'll be looking for backdoors if I can't find any I'll blast the front door. I'm playing on hard with all help functions off and a little slower aiming. I'll balance my augmentations, I'll add whatever I feel like. Social skills will be maxed and I already know I'll need a cloak.

I'm moving very slow I'm still in the first level for like 2 hours. o_0 Every time the guards notice me I run back to a loading room. Then I have to wait a while so they think I'm gone.

Edit: Hostages probably won't survive. I don't even now where they are but I'm not gonna bother.

I am doing that in some areas now I am half way through the game, but I still just kind of run through, especially as I have a fully upgraded cloak, and also use robot hacking if I can find the terminals

Just completed my first playthrough last night which was mainly as I said I would; stealthy assassin trying to take out as many people as possible whilst exploring every nook and cranny. Took me just under 30 hrs playing this way but utterly rewarding. If I enter one way, I'll look for an alternative exit to make sure I get the traveller XP.

Awesome game overall. Not as good as the original, but what is?! lol. Boss fights were dissappointing as they seemed pointless and started off insanely hard only to get easier as the game went on due to the augs. The bosses in general weren't built up that well. In the original I actually knew why and personally wanted to take out Anna Navarre, Gunther Herman and Walton Simons. Didn't have any of that here. Also, the ending was a little disappointing in the way the final choice was handled. Would have preffered a seperate objective for each choice.

Everything else though was done to perfection, storyline kept me intrigued and the gameplay was spot on. Really felt like a true Deus Ex game.

Oh, and I'm annoyed there was no reference to orange soda vs lemon lime!

I'm playing currently total stealth using only silent takedowns, stun guns, and tranquilizer darts so I can get the achievement for makeing it through the entire game without killing someone.

I gotta say its brutal hard playing like that but very rewarding.

There was. Its stock had just fallen 37%. At least the triflavor orange,lime, lemon sod. At leastthat's what I gathered.

I missed this on my first playthrough.

I'm gonna keep replaying the game until I find this bit of info. Replay value ftw!

I haven't the slightest idea where I heard that, but it's something that came to mind the moment you brought it up.
