Line 20:
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Sort of. Jensen starts off with enhanced versions of his ''Human Revolution'' upgrades. After being hurt in the terror attack in Prague however, he's forced to build up most of his abilities anew.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Parts of the game are set in and around Prague, complete with appropriate Czech.
* [[Big Bad]]: The game is definitely settingsets up {{spoiler|Bob Page}} as a more direct antagonist, given that Jensen is gunning for {{spoiler|the Illuminati}}. Viktor Marchenko however is a more straightforward example as Jensen spends the better part of the game dealing with him.
** [[Bigger Bad]]: {{spoiler|Bob Page, [[Deus Ex|Morgan Everett and Lucius DeBeers]], who at this point is still the undisputed leader of the Illuminati.}}
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: Especially evident in the Prague scenes, with police and cameras monitoring for anyone (i.e. augs) deemed a threat.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Whenever Adam is checking the TV, Eliza Cassan may ''wink'' at him as she delivers her "reporting live" spiels. {{spoiler|A [[Call Back]] to ''Human Revolution'', given how Adam knows she's a holographic AI.}}
* [[Can't Stop the Signal]]: The Juggernaut Collective, which is a global network of hackers, activists and anti-corruption agents.
* [[Category Traitor]]: In the trailers, a terrorist aug leader (later revealed to be Viktor Marchenko) chastises Jensen about how he fighting his "brothers."
* [[Color Motif]]: The gold/yellow/black palette from ''Human Revolution'' makes a return. This time however, everything is noticeably darker, reflecting the end of the supposed golden age. It's mentioned as well that blue, a color associated with the original ''Deus Ex'' is also a prominent theme.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** The E3 footage suggests that Jensen starts off with many of his abilities seen in ''Human Revolution.''
** Jensen's frequent forays into the seedier, darker sides of society also harken back to JC Denton's in the original ''Deus Ex.''
** {{spoiler|Lucius DeBeers and a younger Morgan Evrett finally make their appearance.}}
* [[Crapsack World]]: More openly so than in ''Human Revolution''. What once seemed like the cusp of a new golden age is becoming more and more like the messed-up world seen in the original ''[[Deus Ex]]''. It's also shown in-game that the fallout of the "Aug Incident" is still very much present.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: David Sarif evidently wanted Adam to be prepared for just about any eventuality. Which explains the augmented enhancements Adam never had in ''Human Revolution.''
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
* [[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 impliedmentioned that the company closed down after what happened in Panchaea, its assets seized by Tai Yong Medical.}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]/[[Call Forward]]: Task Force 29 is basically a predecessor to UNATCO in the original ''[[Deus Ex]]''.
* [[From Bad to Worse]]: The live-action ''Mechanical Apartheid'' trailer shows the increasingly severe and tragic consequences of animosity against augs {{spoiler|in the wake of the Panchaea incident}}.
