It felt like I was always waiting for the game to reveal what I already knew.
And in the end when Jensen's finally in a position to demand answers, Darrow conveniently triggers the kill switch, so Jensen has to go and she doesn't have to explain anything. Was she working for Bob Page before she knew Jensen? I mean, she discovered that Jensen's DNA was special, but it's never really explained what prompted her to check his DNA in the first place or why she had to keep it secret from everyone. I wanted to know what she knew about Jensen's parents, White Helix, and Versalife. The Megan storyline was really unsatisfying as well. A simple dialogue prompt from Eliza would have sufficed. Also, the fact that each choice had its own physical button was just ridiculous. You really can't get much more detached from the rest of the game than that. I wanted to see how Detroit, Hengsha, and all the major characters fared in the aftermath of each option, not a bunch of narration over real life stock footage. Nah, just kidding, he's kind of a dick! Anyway. Also, I went with a pacifist playthrough, are the endings different if you shot everything in your sight? For those who've seen one ending but, couldn't see the rest (for whatever reason), there's this brilliant user on youtube that uploaded all 4 endings, that guy is awesome, and you should all give him 5 bucks each. Not only are augmented humans much stronger than "purists", but it would allow the Illuminati another grab for power, as shown in the Deus Ex. The whole reasoning behind that ending is that humanity is responsible and morally strong enough to take care of itself, and although that's true, the continued use of augmentation would only bring a lot more pain.
My least favorite ending, although it's probably the cannon ending, was the one in which Adam destroys everything, including himself. I did think that human augmentation was too powerful, and that humans were careless with their use. But anyway, what did you think of all the endings, which ones did you choose, and why? I went with Darrow's message, because i agreed with his viewpoint, and found him to be the most compelling of the bunch. Obviously, heavy spoilers ahead, you've been warned! I finished the game today, seen all the endings, plan to get back to my second playthrough tomorrow.
