    They patched the save thing, didn't they?

    I'm kinda wondering if some of the no alarms failing is down to other things. Like maybe the cop drones going nuts if you turn them on the fake checkpoint, or that sliver of restricted area that remains by the door even when you're allowed to go downstairs in sobchak security.

    Not sure about the former but that's the only thing I can think of that broke Foxiest for me in my first playthrough.

    The latter - absolutely, if it leads you to being seen. You can cloak or stealth past it though and then no.

    Only for Steam, consoles are unaffected.

    I still havent played the DLC because I dont have 4 saves to delete in order to play it.

    I have to say, I can't imagine why you would need even 10 saves.

    While racing light mechs, your Urbanmech comes in second place, but only because it ran out of ammo.

    Because of Gamebreaking bugs for example, which I already have experienced 3 different kinds of.

    Other than that I like saving at every single part, if I missed something crucial, so I dont have to backtrack for hours.

    I have to say, I can't imagine why your lack of imagination is relevant to this topic.

    I really hate this kind of response. Some people like to save a lot. And given the massive increase in amount of personal disk space and the fact that a lot of exploratory open world games allow you to save a lot, it's become a standard feature.

    After they fixed the save limitation issue on Steam, I have somewhere around 600 saves, and I was already 2/3 through my playthrough. Are you going to look down on me for that? Because your "I have to say..." blah blah blah sure sounds like it.

    I don't mean to sound so agressive, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I don't know what you expect to accomplish with a comment like that. You're criticizing another person's single player behavior. I fail to see what purpose that is meant to serve.

    He could also be communicating that he doesn't understand your position, but would like to know more. The "I have to say" comment can be taken as passive-aggressive, but it may not be intended to be. I could just be an idiom he uses.

    I still think the Micro stuff is bullshit, but the save thing annoys me every single time I boot up the game, I put a ton of exploring time into games like this and I like to look everything thoroughly through.

    I have a terabyte of space, what is the problem? I dont care about Cloud Saves either, let them just be local save files.

    EDIT: That said, I'm at the GARM Facility and my desire to look everything through is dwindling...

    That's where I stopped. I explored everything in Hangar 1 and then more or less skipped Hangar 2 and kept my exploration very short thereafter.

    So I just did an entire bank heist, all the way down to the corporate underground vaults, and goddamn that was incredible. The bottom of everything is such a huge information payoff. And it wasn't prompted, I just did it to see if I could and went by clues in the environment.

    I'm like, 37 pages too late, but someone was complaining about the lamp puzzle in the bank...

    if you read the emails on the pc on the far desk in the room it tells you the solution!

    Yeah the email tells you exactly what to do. i still just mashed buttons, though. I spent all my sleuthing up reading names, tracking down vault cards, manipulating security and etc.

    Okay, finished GARM and I did not see any mission notifications as in "Getting things done", "Smooth Operator" or anything really, my XP bar came up and got a boost after going to Prague again and thats it...

    I have no idea if Foxiest is still possible.

    The bank heist is pretty great. I had a jolly old time breaking into most of the bank early on with the Samizdat mission, when I went for the main objective and decided to explore the rest anyway. Didn't get around to the late-game mission critical stuff but raided the other smaller vaults and that was pretty amazingly huge.

    I only wish there was more dialogue options to navigate the resticted areas (the messenger dialogue stuff was a super cool addition to the game though), just to reinforce the sense of corporate espionage. Like, just smooth talk your way through the entire place until you have a thousand hats and half the people there think you own the place :P

    Supposedly a good way of telling if you've had an alarm is to actually get one, if you get the tutorial hints about what to do - Its your first alarm.

    I just tried reloading an earlier save and getting an alarm in GARM on the last 3 dudes, just before meeting the pilot at the end - Tutorial showed up.

    In Prague... It does not show up... What the fuck.

    I mean, the police should be able to activate an alarm right?

    Sorry, I should have been more accurate. By "seen" I meant if you enter the restricted area and are seen it can cause an alarm. Just going yellow isn't an alarm status.

    My point is that restricted sliver acts like any other restricted area. It *can* lead to an alarmed status, which can break Foxiest. But it probably won't.

    Yeah there's an achievement for not setting off alarms in the NSN sequence. I didn't grab it on my first playthrough so when I got it on my second I was like, "oh. well, shit"

    That said, I felt like I didn't actually trigger anything the first time around and it was just bugged

    Nah it really isn't difficult at all. Even if you messed around with it before reading the email, the email gives another clue that tells you how its solved. Even if you could not read words and only knew how to press buttons on a controller, you'd still solve it in like maybe a minute or two because there's only raise and turn. I hate puzzles and am bad at them and feel like I'm going crazy reading about the difficulty people are having.

    edit: I guess its not worth arguing over though, some things just end up weirdly simple sometimes even when they usually aren't.

    It's not available super-early like the other two.
