I hope you actually get a decent amount of ammo this time, especially from enemies, because HR's lack of ammo was obnoxious.

I remember when I could freely use the Heavy Rifle and energy weapons because of how much ammo I had. Heck, thanks to all the shotgun ammo enemies dropped, I was able to kill most enemies with a shotgun! It was so much fun!

I agree. You would think games have moved beyond enemies that can expend magazine after magazine against you, yet only drop 1-3 rounds even if you kill them before they can fire.

Yeah, it was super annoying to be carrying around this weapon that you just can't use on anything because there's never any ammo for it, or realising you've basically wasted weapon upgrades because the thing you put them on is just dead weight in your inventory. Also, given the way the boss fights were designed, having stuff like the rocket launcher (useless in most situations due to limited ammo) take up such a huge amount of inventory space was really annoying.

That trailer could've easily been for Human Revolution, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Very excited for this!

The shot at the end with the polygon shield thing covering Adam's skin, I'm guessing they're introducing nano-augmentation in this one?

He can't be alive, there's no way to resist either punching or killing him as soon as he stops having an invincibility flag. :colbert:

Sarif sounded so much like a family friend (who was originally from Boston) it was surreal.

I liked Sarif.

Dude wasn't good with people, but if you actually checked the emails/talked to everyone, you could realize he was being honest. He was just trying to get augs into everyone's hands, without the horrific dependency on Neuropozyne, and it was mainly based on a philosophical desire rather then a monetary/economic one. Hell, he even refused to join the Illuminati a few times because he didn't want to rule the world, he just wanted to help people through better aug technology, which is what caused the events of the game in the first place.

Even the "extra augs" he put into Adam aren't very extra. If you read the file, most of the extra augs are in the arms/cranium, which hey guess what, were the most damaged. You were going to get both arms cut off anyway, might as well add some cool new toys in there while your at it. The typhoon I think is the only real aug he put in that you didn't explicitly need/stuff was removed for. And considering he knew the Illuminati existed and knew they were likely the ones who attacked him, I'm not even sure "more guns" wasn't a needed aug in his eyes.

He's one of the few people in the Deus Ex games that isn't a colossal shithead, but we all went in assuming he would be because of course he would, this is Deus Ex and he's got to be the Manderly analogue right?

I guess. Even though his ending is some sort of libertarian paradise hellhole, his parting words to Adam when Adam was skeptical of it was "Do what you think would be best" which was a far cry from everyone else's endings whoo outright told you to do their endings or else.

Adam only needed one arm replaced, it was Sarif's idea to tear off the other one and both his legs.

He might be a charming guy, but David Sarif is a pretty lovely person.

The only file I remember talking about this mentioned that your spine was severed from your limbs ( a big deal! ), with the "extra augs" being ambiguous.

Because yeah, getting additional poo poo in your arm is "extra augs" but you still needed the arm replaced anyways.

I wonder what physical therapy for Jensen was like. Imagine scratching your nose and a blade coming out of your arm. Or not having a heartbeat in the same place because it was moved for an electroparachute and experimental explosive device. What does it feel like to have heavy skin, fortified with metamaterials and fiber optics? Does it shear from the softer tissue underneath easily? Jensen seems kind of apathetic about lifechanging trauma. The character never experiences any downside to augmentation, which makes the larger question "are robo-arms sweet?" kind of dumb.

Sarif is a slight inversion of Bob Morton in Robocop. While he's still happy to feed someone else's limbs to his ambition, his ambition is slightly more altruistic--he doesn't want to climb to the top of OCP/Sarif because he's already there.

Though to be fair, I did go into the game with a certain set of expectations--like Rook mentioned earlier, I thought he'd be a Manderley analogue. But the writers and developers were smart enough to play against those expectations. It's kinda like KotOR 2--I went in expecting a huge twist like in the first game, but the twist was that there was no twist. Which I was completely okay with.
