RE: weird conjunction of fate
You're supposed to hold down the E key to drag them around, otherwise it'll open the loot screen.
If you're planning on taking the stealth route you won't even need anything other than an upgraded 10mm pistol and the basic stun gun, *maybe* the tranquilizer rifle but that thing is huge and can be tricky to use. Sell all that other crap when you get the chance.
I'm having to throw away energy bars all the time because I simply don't have enough space to carry so many (I think I have about 3 stacks of 5 right now, plus 3 of the big packs), but then again I don't really use the take down move all that often, I just use the cloak aug briefly to move from cover to cover unnoticed and the pistol to gun them down when necessary while avoiding the big guys that resist headshots.
The 3 titles in this series have all done Metal Gear Solid style stealth, with just basic cones of vision, semi stupid AI that only gets smart when you're spotted and lots and lots of air vents. It'd be interesting to see a Deus Ex game do the proper "Hiding in the shadows" mechanic that the Thief series is famous for.
I've taken a more lethal approach, the only weapons I'm carrying are the pistol, the crossbow and a rocket launcher for when robots show up. Once I've finished the game I'll try for a no kill/no spot playthrough, so far I've only seen one part that will be really tricky to sneak through without some serious abuse of the stealth mechanics.
