Like an intro:
We all know this feeling when you kill the last, the most evil, the worst, the most bogus in the game. and it comes… the ending and you enjoy the last seconds of the game, with delight that does not leave you (or with the phrase “fuuuuuck shit” if this is a cal game) this feeling does not leave you, a funny feeling of delight and regret that the whole game is completed. In games of the RPG genre, very often at the very end there is a final moral choice, the last word of the main character which should put an end to the development of the story, this word determines in what state we will leave the world in which we just smoked in order to reach the finale, this choice is often very difficult to make due to a moral issue (unless of course you think about the morality of this issue), any of your decisions always carries with it some kind of sacrifice, and we think (or don’t think) what will be better for this world.
This is the choice I came across in Deus Ex a couple of hours ago. and honestly, after that, the choice was not very easy for me, after so much effort spent on unraveling that whole conspiracy, I really wanted to tell the world the truth, but the sacrifice was appropriate, the truth would have undermined humanity’s faith in implant technology, it would seem then the choice was simple, blame the opponents of implants for everything and everything, technology will make the world a better place, but you know, lying to people, it’s not very good, and even though opponents of implants are scoundrels, in my opinion they don’t deserve it, and they proposed a fairly practical solution to the problem, in principle, introducing restrictions on implants is not such a sacrifice, and in general, the 4 bosses killed before this only proved the correctness of this decision… it would seem that all cool, press the button and everything will be ok, but still this version would still mean lying to people, albeit for the good,Yes, and I imagined how difficult it would be for people with implants to live in the future, then I hesitated for the last time and firmly decided WHO I AM TO DECIDE THE FATE OF HUMANITY. And it was decided that I would sacrifice several dozen lives into the unknown, the lives of all those poor survivors who were with me at the station, and my own life too, so that no one’s opinion could influence the fate of humanity, so that humanity itself would do everything, for I believe that people themselves are free to choose their own fate. In principle, I’m happy with the ending. and I think my choice was right, although I still feel sorry for those people who went to the bottom with me and the station. although I think that 3 of them deserved it because they are to blame for everything that happened, I essentially only feel sorry for the nurse from the prosthesis clinic, well, it’s a pity that he won’t be able to return to his beloved =( that’s all. it was my choice and my opinion, and now I’m interested in your choice and your opinion.

In theory, from a moral point of view, the correct ending is to destroy the station. Well, you see, no one has the right to decide for people, they themselves will come to the most correct decision, blah blah blah, etc., etc.
But! Considering humanity’s unbridled love of fighting with itself, this correct decision will cost him a lot of blood. If you remember this, then making a choice yourself and preventing the death of a hundred or two, or even thousands of people, is not so bad. Sorry, but I believe in white lies. And yes, I completed the game without killing anyone, so I have the right to moralize. This is first.
Secondly, I didn’t like Darrow’s version at all. This “truth” that he asks us to tell everyone was created, designed, directed, if so desired, only by himself. Moreover, the events that he organized cannot be called anything other than genocide, Adam himself says this in the game. Therefore, I was not going to help him organize such a “truth”.
Next. Taggart. Like a paranoid person who sleeps with a knife and vodka under his pillow, I had no intention of handing over power to the Illuminati. Moreover, even if I gave them preference, what are the guarantees that these Illuminati themselves are competent and intelligent enough to rule almost the entire world?? No, no, no, anything but this, you won’t get me, noooo!
And finally, Sharif’s ending. This is how I ended the game. Under no circumstances do I want to interfere with the development of technologies that move humanity forward. I never thought it could do more harm than good to people. The strongest and most popular counterexample to my words is atomic weapons, they say, the most destructive weapons were created in the same breakthrough of technological progress. But I don’t agree here either. Nuclear energy brings us much more benefit than harm, you know?. These are not gnomes in transformer booths turning dynamos so you can read this text now. And people invented the nuclear bomb more than half a century ago, but the apocalypse never came. It’s the same here. That’s why I preferred Sharif’s option.
Well, who doesn’t love dancing https://nonukcasinosites.co.uk/review/betmac-casino/ action heroes, especially against the backdrop of a scientist locked in a room with poisonous gas =D
Pfft, I’m an egoist obsessed with science fiction and progress, my choice is obvious (besides ShSarif almost didn’t lie to us)
First I made a conscious choice, looked. Well, then I decided to look at the rest just for fun. After all, curiosity is a very strong feeling)
And I’ll tell everyone. Am I a fool or what?? After spending 4 days on the passage, bury the ending with Adam? Well, no way. Everyone should know that I ruined everything. And by the way, what kind of guy was that in the epilogue??
almost… um, bro, what about Megan’s research, a hole in the firewall… and these are just the first 2 things that came to mind.
Yes, I wrote at the top, you can say that the neuropazine batch was poisoned (choose the side of the opponents of the implants) or say that the opponents of the implants created a virus that made everyone crazy (choose the Sharif’s side) as I understand it, you decided to stupidly run down the corridor with the “zombies” and did not pay attention to the calls for help.
