there is a vent behind the right staircase on the bottom floor. You can sneak down the stairs without anyone seeing you relatively easily, and move a box to expose the vent. It leads to an access shaft that takes you to another vent which takes you to the room with the hostages. You can go back through the vent to get back to the other side of the room and sneak around the outside to get to the door. You don't need to take down any of those guys.
...After I snuck past the dudes to the second hacking place. Then I remembered that there were hostages in the mission and started searching. I snuck past the same dudes again to find the hostage room and from the hostage room I found the vent -_-
I must say, the negotiation scene was very intimidating when I played through it.
So far so good, no kills except for the tutorial and only one alarm due to a mis-timed stun but well... I'm not going for the achievements.
This is a very good game if you like anything what it offers.
hopefully people do, it's a damn great game and I could tell because at the end I just felt really awesome about it. All the emails and reports your read throughout the game really develop it and you feel that culminate at the end. Imo that is a sign of a great game that can have a cookie trail of details and info that teases you until everything is revealed later on. Plus the gameplay is satisfying if you can sneak around well.
Does an "Alarmed" situation count as an Alarm, or does the "Hostile!" situation count as Alarm like in Metal Gear Solid? Curious. I may want to replay the game for "Foxiest of Hounds" and "Pacifist"...my current Ghost/Smooth Operator/No Kill playthrough is failing.
It's great that they're using achievements properly; as extra-difficult challenges to make you replay, rather than get you to replay until you've tallied 100,000 bad guy kills.
Has anyone found a place i can (hopefully legally) buy/download the game soundtrack? I didn't get the collectors edition or w/e it came with, but i really like the subtle audio direction and alot of the music sounds like great music to chill out to.

I bought the Augmented Edition off of Steam, but how do I access the soundtrack and the art book?
You have to download it first.
Open Steam -> Go to View tab -> Select Tools
Select the Deus Ex Bonus content, right click on it and select "Install Game". My screen shot shows a "Play Game" option instead since mine is already installed.
This applies to all games on Steam that has some sort of bonus content.
Lesser Evil, Cloak&daggers, Talion A.D, Acquaintances Forgotten. What are these achievements? i didn't unlock them so im wondering are they other side quests?
Almost done, got through the third boss. Fucking hate the boss fights in this game, easily the worst part. Defeated the first one straight up but cheesed the second and third.
For the stealth boss I got lucky and she got stuck on some geometry, kept spinning in circles but wouldn't attack. I just shot her till she died. For the boss in the muscle looking armor, I wasn't paying attention in Hengsha and got the dumb chip upgrade lol. After about 10 tries I finally beat him. I was on one side of the outer corridor and he was on the other and refused to move; I hid behind cover and shot bursts from an assault rifle a couple at a time, he would do that weird double shotty move but the projectiles were so slow I could just pop behind cover and not take damage. Eventually he just fell over lol. So fucking dumb.

I'm wondering the same, I had perfectly avoided most of the situations until one of the side quests in China, but considering at one mission I got troops on me who were alarmed from the beginning I think it either has to do with hostile status OR it's bound to ghost. Not sure though.
Edit: seems like it has to do with actual alarm activated when it's avoidable, so as long as the guards aren't activating it, and you don't trip cameras or lasers or anything it should be okay.
Does anyone else have an issue with graphics that manifest itself as tiny dots, like a white noise, on characters faces? It only shows on texture of faces, and it's a bit irritating as they constantly shift all over the face
Here's a capture where you can see these gray dots...

I dont have this problem. Might be your graphics card
Someone help me The next time I want to play this game, I want to play on decent graphics, not at 800x600 due to my HD2400 What cheap GPU can I get that will allow me to play at 1400x900 with decent settings, and no lag? My budget is ~$100
