Somehow, knowing that you have to read the books to understand what the fuck is up with the boss fights just makes it even worse.

I agree with you. I was constantly expecting a little bit more from the story... and then it ended. I set my expectations too high in terms of story I think but as Chris pointed out, all the good stuff happens afterwards.Jonas wrote:That's the one, thanks.nerdenstein wrote:New Sons Of Freedom

With sites there isn't a lot you can do, but if someone on a forum or whatnot should say that you can smack them with this:Mr_Cyberpunk wrote:^this is what I initially thought as well, but a lot of Deus Ex 3 sites tell it otherwise stating that MJ12 shouldn't exist at this point.Um ... no. Canon is that MJ12 was the Illuminati's doing (probably some time in the vicinity of the 1950s if you trust the continuity bible) Page just made it independent. In canon MJ12 existed before Page was even born, it just happened to be a branch of the Illuminati.
Whether we were told depends on whether you mean in the game or at all.Jonas wrote:What was the purpose of MJ12, anyway? Was it some sort of military enforcement branch of Illuminati, or did it chiefly concern scientific research, or what? Were we ever told?
Then it goes into detail about the difficulty in monitoring and controlling communications and how that led to both Aquinas and the AIs in the game.Majestic 12 was the Illuminati's technology and communications leader. It doles out technological advances and stores those the world is not yet ready for (or those too powerful to give to potential enemies). It controls the supply of drugs -- licit and illicit and can introduce new diseases as it wishes (diseases for which it already has a cure ready and waiting, of course). Majestic 12 is also charged with influencing and, where possible, managing the world's intelligence organizations. The communications end of things proved more difficult to manage.

This is something we know about.Jonas wrote:Chris, help me clear up another thing please: is Paul a clone? I always got the impression that he's the original, but DXHR may be vaguely suggesting that he's a clone of Adam Jensen. Or he could just be related in the normal way, of course... either way is it something we know about?
