Just like in DX:IW. When I was in Seattle I had 5-6 differenet guns,
4-5 different kind of mines (several each), 6-7 augmentions installed,
so much multitools that there was no point to look for alternate
routes...
And because of the 3 additional inventory slots, I had maxed my
strength so 1 or 2 blows from the baton and everybody was down so ammo
was plenty. I could be killing everyone, stealing everything, doing
all the missions I want...sheesh, you have to be braindead to want to
go on playing further.
