Red Mundus

A LOT of people feel this way, hell I can't remember in recent memory the last time a tutorial was ever done right. It just seems that AP really dropped the ball at the beginning but thankfully picked it up after. My theory is that the low stats at the beginning contribute to the annoyance. (constant missing with weapons, low stealth, etc.)

Did the same for Oblivion, Morrowind, and yep, Hellgate. IMHO, it's a small requirement to really get into RPG's in general. Even with a small imagination, you can still come up with something, anything to help with the immersion and role-playing part. Also a little off-topic, but Oblivion had one of the worst UI's I've ever seen. Dear God, it was bad.

http://www.livestream.com/definitelyenjoy Here's a link to a good PC stream. Guy actually knows how the game plays and seems to like it so far.

If you're going for no kill, you likely want to go stealth, pistol, and some ranks in martial arts, and likely some toughness. Taking an enemy out with martial arts doesn't count as a kill. Shock traps are also your friend. Yeah, Toughness is starting to look Reallllly nice right about now. I originally thought tech apt. would be good for cool down. But thicker skin is starting to look like a must as I go on. Still doing alright. Although anyone watching me would probably fall asleep.

Well....kind of. I'm a ridiculously patient person, so waiting behind a column for 2 hours and watching patrols doesn't bother me. So to specify, if you're crazy to wait obscene amounts of time to get through gunfights, wait for the AI to screw up, restart often and don't mind finding unorthadox methods and in some cases glitches to taking out a few enemies you're fine. On the other hand if you're normal then no, pure stealth is impossible. So far I'm focusing on H2H, tech aptitude, and stealth, I also pump a few odd points into pistols. So for me a traditional level that lasts 45 minutes would last me about 1 hour and 30 minutes or more. Also I never really bothered stealthing bosses, Just pumped them full of lead. So can't say much about that. Might try to play around with the bosses on a second playthrough. Also the noise generator is your absolute best friend. And just to specify, there are enough stealth parts in the game to satisfy most stealth gamers but to "ghost" would be damn-near impossible.

For not killing anyone it is possible but damn hard (but rewarding though). You are given a tranq gun and can go invisible. But as for mini-bosses I would assume you could just tranq 'em to death, but never tried it myself. Might play around with it some more.

From what I've been hearing from countless people once you get past the first hub it gets tonnes better. I fear the reason why they had to make is so bland at the beginning is that they had to accommodate a player with absolutely no specializations. So later on past the first hub when you start to specialize, it really starts to open up. But yeah, kind of a bad first impression. Also from what I've heard is awesome.

There is only one animation that made me laugh and only one. Crouch walk. Oh God, I laughed out loud when I saw it. The rest of the animations I was okay with. But, God help me, it reminded me of someone trying to squat and run at the same time without ever being able to make up their mind.

Thank you kindly!

Mithaldu, in regards to Steam all I can think of is verify the files or worst-case re-install (Oh God, the bandwidth!). Alternately, off the top of my head: re-install GPU drivers, defrag or if you really want to go the whole nine yards re-format.

Quick question, when hacking do you need to move both number sets at the same time or can you do it one after another? Because if you need to move both at the same time. Yikes, eyes would pop.

Not to accuse anyone but perhaps this is the reason? http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/945402-alph...otocol/54965488 Because that would probably do it... (I'm having Titan Quest falshbacks here.) Also apologies to mods if the link shouldn't be posted due to subject.
