Yeah, Human Revolution. Attempting to do a stealth, non-lethal run the first time through.

Yeah, kills in the intro still count and you have no non-lethal moves or weapons.

Though I believe there are no alarms in the first level, so you can basically run through the whole thing (might wanna double check Deus Ex HR forum though).

If you're trying non-lethal, then yeah, takedowns and stun gun are the way to go. Nonlethal actually gives you more exp, doubly so for takedowns!

Stun gun's nice, but tranquilizer rifle all the way baby.

(You can get one of them at the start of your first real mission. Should probably take the tranq rifle -- stun guns are cheaper to buy and more plentiful out in the world.)

It's really kinda bull**** tbqh. Seeing as a nonlethal takedown gives you the most XP it is the "best" idea to just do a takedown, wait for battery to refill, takedown, wait for battery to refill, repeat.

I liked melee weapons in the first much better. And a whole lot of other things.

Still a great game, I just feel it really encourages one particular playstyle.

Really, really encourages hacking too. Yet the only useful hacking augment is just the "capture level 1-5" ones.

So much exp, so many shortcuts, so many little treasure troves of junk in safes or locked storage rooms, and extra money from capturing the extra databases.

I go around making sure I get passwords.

Then I go to the door I have a password to and hack it anyways.

Papa needs his xp.

bad idea choosing the tranq rifle

can't find ammo for it anywhere! plenty of stun gun ammo, though.

More reason to take the tranq rifle! Can always grab a stun gun later, that tranq ammo is precious.

(I took the stun gun)

You can find tranquilizer rifle later anyway! And it's not really that good until upgraded. Arc is insane on it, it takes a while to activate (meaning they get pretty alert once they're hit and before they fall over), takes tooons of space up for when there's no ammo to get and use anyway.

Stun gun's just instant guaranteed takedown! And compact, letting you pick up all the goodies to sell them.

Hacking stealth is really useful too. Upgrade to level 2, never fail a hack again.

I still don't get what's up with the SEE WHAT CHANCE YOU HAVE TO CAPTURE THE NODE augment.

I... can already do that?

I never really got caught hacking regardless! Those stop and nuke programs pile on like mad if you get the optional databases. And if you capture the red tower, that instantly captures it and all databases too.

Saved those precious 2 augs and put them into more fun stuff. Best aug's probably still high jump.
