Line 46:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The state of affairs in 2029 can be described as "Mechanical Apartheid." While the Juggernaut Collective is basically a more focused and organized version of Anonymous hacktivists.
* [[Double Agent]]: Adam Jensen is actually working for the hacktivist Juggernaut Collective, which managed to get him into Task Force 29 {{spoiler|with the intent of going after the Illuminati}}.
* [[Enemy Civil War]]: It's implied that one is taking place {{spoiler|Between the Illuminati and its splinter-faction, the Majestic 12}}.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: {{spoiler|Lucius DeBeers in 2029 is old enough to have been the Illuminati's leader when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. By his orders, no less.}}
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: The trailers suggest that Sarif Industries {{spoiler|might have been co-opted by the Illuminati}}. In the game itself however, {{spoiler|it's mentioned that the company closed down after what happened in Panchaea, its assets seized by Tai Yong Medical.}}
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
** As befitting a ''Deus Ex'' game, it's not always clear what the "right" choice is, if there is any. This is especially highlighted by Adam's conflicting duties to both Task Force 29 and the Juggernaut Collective.
** The "mechanical apartheid" on display is also shown to be filled with grey areas, especially with terrorists and radicals on both sides finding some reason to lash out at each other.
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Finishing the game on "Give me Deus Ex" unlocks the "[[Ascended Meme|I never asked for this]]" difficulty, which renders death final and deletes your saves should you get killed at any point.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Depending on your actions, Adam may or may not cross the line into becoming little different from the people he's gunning after.
* [[History Repeats]]: New forms of segregation and racism have emerged, with augmented humans even persecuted apartheid-style.
