Which side mission? I've few of them nearly done just need to return to first area

Have some stuff to give Edward Brod, it's the golden ticket side mission I believe it's called.
Gave stuff to Irenka (I think that's the name at leat) and need to find Edward but he's nowhere to be seen near the map pointer.

He was there for me in his store behind the metro entrance

Yep, that's a bug so!

That's a good hour of my life wasted but at least now I'm best friends with every citizen in the area after speaking to each of them a dozen times hoping they'd turn out to be the right dude!

Not really, there is a 12 minute video recap of the last game when you start a new game and the first level has plenty of tutorials on the controls. If you want to learn more about the universe there is the deus ex universe app which shows history of the game's world

You'd miss little things if you never played Deus Ex from 1999 but not much. Like Bob Page's voice at the start of Revolution and boxes with Versalife printed on them, the song that plays on the radio is the in game sound track from the first game and then the Project D in the post credits roll.

None of the above is really a spoiler as HR is 5-6 years old now. This game has some more but I won't spoil them here.

Does it locate your save or are you ask to make a choice so as to continue from where it left off?

Nope they just picked one of the endings of human revolution and made it Canon

It just carries on. It kind of blends the 4 different endings of HR together.

There's no boss fights?

You would certainly miss bits and pieces but the intro video paired with the e-books and news bulletins dotted around the place will very quickly give you a good understanding of the world you're in and how it got to be that way.

Haven't got that far but they have said that you can talk your way out of some boss encounters

Looking at the trophies the platinum is "You completed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided™ without killing a single soul. Bosses are people, too".
Seems to imply that there are definitely bosses but you can avoid them or knock them out.

Yeah there is a bug that if you use the tesla Aug to knock out people it counts them as hostile, so if you are trying for the ghost trophy be wary. The typhoon also has a non lethal option but once you pick it's permanent.

It's a joke at the last game, the same trophy was in it but you were forced to kill them. The Directors Cut version lets you knock them out.

That's annoying. On my first play through I'm not concerned with trophies for now, instead I've whacked it onto whatever the most difficult setting I could. That way there's a challenge but I won't be reloading saves every 10 mins after turning the wrong corner.

Yeah I'm not really bothered either in trying for these trophies, I usually try to use as much stealth and non lethal as possible but if it goes pear shaped I switch to lethal. My next upgrade is definitely going to be the one to breathe through poison gas as I've found plenty of areas with it.

Yeah a few things are needed straight off the bat, breathing gas, picking up heavy objects and jumping high would all help a lot.

Yeah I'm stuck on a side mission as I need to be able to jump high enough to climb a vent

There is nearly always another way in this game, it never leaves you stuck because you didn't do one type of upgrade.

Well there is only one other way I can find but the place I need to get into has a lot of security up front so that's why I'm trying to sneak in.
