The unplanned organism is a question asked by nature and answered by death. You are a different kind of question, with a different kind of answer.
—Morpheus
|
God was a dream of good government.
—Morpheus
|
When due process fails us, we really do live in a world of terror.
—JC Denton
|
I'm not big into books.
—JC Denton
|
A few bureaucrats in New York can't make good decisions for New Jersey, let alone Paris or a village in China.
—Paul Denton
|
Somehow the notion of unalienable liberty got lost. It's really become a question of what liberties will the state assign to individuals or rather, what liberties we will have the strength to cling to.
—Paul Denton
|
What good's an honest soldier if he can be ordered to behave like a terrorist?
—JC Denton
|
A bomb's a bad choice for close-range combat.
—JC Denton
|
Every war is the result of a difference of opinion. Maybe the biggest questions can only be answered by the greatest of conflicts.
—JC Denton
|
Again they ignore me. Again they think they have a better punishment for a traitor than a shotgun to the head.
—Gunther Hermann
|
You are a small, prowling mouse... and dumb like a mouse! You keep coming, like you forget about Agent Navarre. I remember Agent Navarre. I remember for everyone.
—Gunther Hermann
|
I see you, a thief on the roof. My new satellite link has both infrared and the x-ray spectrum. I see your heart beating. I see you are afraid.
—Gunther Hermann
|
Bob Page: Already I'm more than human. Soon, I will be pure light! Pure energy! Helios and I! I will burn like the brightest star. |
A pistol is more than adequate. Hell, I dispatched a whole platoon one time with a pocket knife.
—Sam Carter
|
Let's get one thing straight: we've got our share of crooked bureaucrats -- fact -- but this is still UNATCO, and by and large the people in this building are twenty-four carat gold.
—Sam Carter
|
Go ahead! Blow this place sky-high... You might get rid of ME, but you'll take down Aquinas, the power grid, the whole electronic infrastructure. Is that what you want? Are you completely nuts?
—Bob Page
|
You can't run, Denton. Even if you escape, your killswitch is counting down. You'll be dead in twenty-three hours. Another fifty billion dollars down the drain.
—Walton Simons
|
Anna Navarre: Are you sure you pressed the right button? |
Anna Navarre: Don't tell me you're going to wear those sunglasses during a night operation. |
Walton Simons: You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors. |
Anna Navarre: We had such hopes for you and your brother. It appears you are not as loyal as we expected. |
I order you to stand in the spotlight and growl at the women like a dog who needs a master.
—Hong Kong club bouncer
|
In the end, all sins are forgiven. Even yours.
—Morgen Everette
|
Put on a trenchcoat |
But I don't see how these days you could have a game with anything near as much depth and complexity as Deus Ex 1. And before all you people who like The Witcher 2 start pounding your keyboard so hard that it starts snowing Cheeto dust, I meant the kind of complexity that I like. A plot where people can reference philosophy and G. K. Chesterton in really, really bad accents, and it has intuitive inventory sorting, and a health system where you can get all your arms and legs blown off and have to slither over to a health station using only your lips.
|
It's not the end of the world...but you can see it from here. |
Bob Page: Your appointment with FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator. —The intro
|
What a Shame |
Jock: Oh my God! JC! A bomb! |
Helios Ending Dialog
JC Denton: I've done what you asked, Now what? |
UNATCO Trooper 1: "Don't you know what a philanthropist is?" |
