    He only merges with an AI if you choose the wrong ending.

    Given that we know the AI techbros are obviously sociopaths with endless greed, and the old world order of illuminati seem to be a bunch of creepy pedos, I am forced to the conclusion that Tracer Tong knows what’s up and he’s the one we should be listening to, nevermind JC Denton.

    Cutscene: Area 51 is destroyed by the massive blasts, cutting world communication networks and destroying both Bob Page and Helios. This thrusts the world into a technological blackout, but also frees it from media control by the Illuminati.

      And then there’s the third ending. Brush everything under the rug and let the Illuminati keep on ruling.

      …invisible war took the brilliant approach of implementing all three endings simultaneously, so no matter how you completed the first game, its narrative still flows…

    In the game, the AI is Actually Intelligent though.

    Just think of that: The dystopian future we imagined in the late 1990s wasn’t as dumb as the dystopia we’ve actually made for ourselves.

      Deus Ex sequels think “player choice” means choosing between shooting through the front or crawling through airducts. Over, and over, and over…

    JC Denton: I don’t see anything amusing about spying on people.

    Morpheus: Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are.

    JC Denton: Some people just don’t understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance.
