Making very slow progress, but enjoying this game, Frame Rates are a concern though, and graphics could have been much better.
 
I'm getting 35-40 @ 1920x1080, should I not be concerned? BTW I got my copy off steam, if that helps.

Spoiler Question, read only if you've completed your one on one with Pritchard in your office. (after Boss 1 fight).

How to get maximum Praxis points when confronting Sarif? There are 2 available but I've tried 5 times now, I can muster only one.

Did you have your social aug when your confronted him? Are you sure there are 2 points from that conversation? I got only one too.

Yeah I had one Aug (Social),
used pheromones to appease the guy. At the end of the conversation, the updates on the left say Praxis Points Available - 2, Points received - 1.

The Yes Boss achievement unlocks, no problems with that.

I don't know maybe the 2nd point is for the next task.

Edit: I've posted a youtube link here to show what's happening (Spoiler)

Goto 7:00 when the conversation ends.

'2 Parix points available' means the total number of Praxis points available in your Augmentation upgrade screen. So the person in the YouTube video might have already had 1 point, prior to the conversation and post it, he gained one more. So the total available were 2, or at least that's what I understand.

No that's definitely not the case. The entire point of lusting behind the 2nd Praxis point was -

1. I wanted to see if their was a "best" option, so to speak.

2. I had Zero P-Points before conversation, and got 1 after that.

Later, I completed other side quests (Carell etc) and got 1 point available, I think the 2nd point opens after the China mission.

Anyways, I've started with the China missions and will only know after I've completed them.

@Ethan - Which platform are you running it on? PC + Steam by any chance?

Hmm....Guess I'll have to check that again. I'm in the Shanghai level myself, almost done with it though.

Nope, X360.
 
^^ Nah, you were correct, it is the total points available in your kitty, wonder why it shows 2 points available when I have just 1.

Anyways what I'm really digging about this game is that though they haven't paid much attention to the interactions with random people, they have focused on some Key Characters, and how you break them down for Information.

You can even eavesdrop on some random people's conversations. It doesn't help much to your main quest, but it's always good to hear some gossip about the ongoing events. :P

But yes, the way this game allows you to extract information from the characters is really amazing. I have noticed this particular stance that Jensen takes when asking or answering a question; He always tends to fold his arms. This is where I wish L.A. Noire's engine kicked in, they had some awesome tech to deal with post interaction character animations. :)
 
I cant even finish the first side mission..Where is the damn fire escape path..And all the hacking! grr cant quite get it !
 
wonder what the heck happened to the "scene guys"?
maybe they have already done it but are so engrossed in the game that they forgot to release it? :lol:
