I have a question on how to solve a problem I've run into. First a quick re-cap what kind of DX fan I am: Huge. Although the first game is way too easy (weak AI, higher difficulty setting only makes the player weaker, which is moot if you're stealthing) and the second game suffers from horrible writing and acting, it is my favourite game universe and Human Revolution has impressed me so far. I spend a lot of time exploring every corner of the game playing on the hardest difficulty setting.
My problem is I've gone into the first boss fight with nothing beefier than a revolver short of ammunition. I'm a "pacifist"-freak so I'm kitted and specced for sneaking through the whole game but now I'm ambushed by a ridiculous boss fight where I start right next to a human tank of a man that flushes me out with grenades and automatic fire. I know there is a weapon cache in the room but even emptying half of it trying to kill him I always end up cornered and killed. It made me so frustrated I quit the game and left it for a month.
Is there a way to finish this fight wihout having to hope the random number generator won't kill me with these incredibly weak odds? An escape route to get away from the boss would be swell. The only save I have is the one entering the room so I can't go back and get better weapons and stock up on ammo because I did not intend to play the game that way. I don't really mind wasting tens of hours of progress starting the game all over but I would really like to continue this very first playthrough most of all.
(I know Deus Ex 2 is not well liked, for good reason, but meeting JC Denton in the last act of the game is one of the most epic singleplayer experiences I've ever had)
