    Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

      You’re a cyborg agent for a new branch of the federal government formed in response to a terrorist attack on us soil tasked with performing extrajudicial acts in order to keep access to the treatment for a pandemic under government control.

      In the opening cutscene the governments response to the pandemic is revealed to be “let it rip” for profit.

      It’s a phenomenal game and very fun.

      Basically: Anti-Terrorist agent gets instructed not to talk to terrorist, talks to terrorist and becomes a terrorist.

      Cybernetics (or technology in general) are both the hope of humanity and its likely doom through abuse by powerful interests.
