[QUOTE=spekter;50400428]It's Deus Ex, it's not going to be as simple as "augs good normals bad" For all you or I know the pro-aug side of the fence could be manipulated into doing the Illuminati's bidding. They could even be willingly working with the Illuminati. Wait until the game is actually out before instantly dismissing the narrative and the main themes.[/QUOTE] i'm guessing it'll boil down like this: good augs: usual citizens, heroic figures bad augs: augs that get hacked again, radical aug terrorists good normals: rights activists or something like that bad normals: politicians, your average citizen along with the neutral people in between
I just got the directors cut where the play commentary, and man there was so much cool stuff that had to be cut. But even though so much couldn't make it, HR was still really good. I have alot of faith in those Canadians.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;50418009]Honestly, with Mankind Divided choosing its own solution, it's not like a 'choice' matters from HR now besides exerting the player's own opinions. And no matter what we do in MD, the original Deus Ex is still on-track as augmentations will be mostly cycled out or suppressed while nanoaugs become a valuable yet isolated asset for the conspiracies. That's the problem with video game prequels, at least for me. When you know everything's just going to get worse in the future, you know your protagonist can only either have a small, isolated victory, or they'll lose everything horribly and potentially die to fade into obscurity. Whether Mankind Divided will do more deliberate setting up for the original Deus Ex is another debate altogether.[/QUOTE] I doubt they'd move too far ahead with setting up the original Deus Ex. Unless Mankind Divided bombs hard, I'm sure they'll want to continue making Deus Ex games. And placing a game after Deus Ex or Invisible war would be really weird. Unless they retcon Invisible War, although even then it would be a remarkable shift from the near future setting of Human Revolution which is the modern identity of Deus Ex.

Especially if they actually had competent voice acting, because fans would bemoan the lack of the original's cheesy voices.
This game is going to be AMAZING. btw Sonic Mayhem also doing soundtrack for MD [url]https://twitter.com/DeusEx/status/732936056845131776[/url]
