Several shockingly impatient folks have broken down and already purchased the game, not being able to wait until the end of the week. |
It may be that or as a couple others have said...they may be playing the game. If it's as good as y'all say it is, I know I'd play it before I gave it away.

Isnt that what you would want to in the first place anyway?!  |
I don't mind the highlighting. I actually find it helpful. I'm playing on Deus Ex difficulty, but you can still toggle highlighting on and off in game options. But visually, nothing changes. |
Did you even pass the first part of the game? |

Hehe.... yeah, that's a good point Pumpy. DraySpittle? You don't get the visio augments until you've finished the "tutorial" part of the game, so you won't see any highlighting anyhow.

I just had a really interesting conversation with Sarif.
Also, I had the Silvertongue (translation from German) bonus on all but one tries with until now (without the social aug). And I find those conversations really interesting and engaging! This is not comparable to the horrible conversation wheel in DerpEffect.

Was I imagining stuff then or did you have that aug from the get go in the beta? Maybe that's where I was getting confused. I barely played any of the beta so what little I did see might possibly have mashed together in my mind.

It was the same in the beta.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

The beta was the first 10hrs (or so) of the retail game, everything from the opening cinematic to the HL-esque walk through the laboratory, to the tutorial, etc etc. Don't worry; you'll get your augs soon enough =)

Can someone answer a ? for me? I want to buy the game but everywhere I go (including my fav.. D2D) say I will have to install a ''3rd party software'' for the game to work. I'm assuming they mean Steamworks.. and I refuse to put Steam on my PC. Is Steamworks the same as a Steam account and their online software? Is this game going to be available as a hardcopy at my local stores? I'll buy it that way then. Even a retail hardcopy probably has Steamworks as it's protection though.

Steam is the ONLY way of playing the game, even if you buy a retail DVD.

Steamworks isn't Steam perse, it's just a way for 3rd party developers to get their game integrated with Steam. It's totally safe.

True, I don't see how going underground would work at all.

So it's a standard now how hard or easy a game is on this subjective term "normal"?

It's not like you'll get to play it (unless you buy it).

Well son of a bitch - I went through my entire first play-through on the hardest difficulty, being extra super careful not to harm a fucking fly (stealth, tranqs, stun), yet I still didn't get the "Pacifist" achievement.
Now I'm sitting here, dumbfounded, going over the last 30 hours of my play through in my head wondering where someone could have died by my hand. So utterly crushed.
I did however manage to get "Foxiest of Hounds", kinda proud about that! 
I wanted to start my second play through on normal and just go balls to the wall, but a part of me wants to replay it stealth yet again to try and get that achievement. What to do what to do 
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Did you kill anyone during the "intro" - before Jensen got augmented? Maybe that counts as well?

Was mentioned a couple of times - the intro counts as the playthrough; and is totally stealthable if you use a liberal amount of auto-saving and auto-loading.

I probably just imagined it.
I suppose it'll be harder when I play a lethal/action style character on my next playthrough though, being sneaky on this non-lethal playthrough really does pay off.
