Gotta be the most brooding, angst-ridden pouring of cereal I've ever seen. Only Adam Jensen can make Kouzelny Skritek dark and moody.

[@sheppard3767]

Also, did Faridah not only eat, but finish, Adam's cereal? It seems like he clearly expected more than seven Kouzelny Skritek cereal puffs to come out of that box...

[@provokingperch3825]

Maybe he'd been whittling away the box for a few weeks, and after he picked it up here and felt the weight of a 1-digit amount of Kouzelny Skritek cereal puffs, probably thought to himself: "Eh. Made it this far." and poured them into his bowl regardless.

[@crazyrabbits]

Nobody shoots at my Malik

[@gilless429]

+crazyrabbits My thoughts exactly. Even the few times I did a complete ghost playthrough (not even hurting any enemy at all) of Human Revolution, I couldn't help but make an exception for the ambush to save her. I just ain't about to let her die.

[@thomasferlauto7981]

gilless429 My first playthough I hid thinking that the ship would protect her- but when it exploded I was horrified and went back a save and busted out my sniper rifle and went ham- I still don't know how her ship could take off with all that damage. Also- I'm doing a non-lethal give me Deus Ex replaythrough- will a tranquilizer rifle be enough to stop them? No way I'm letting Frida die.

[@gilless429]

The Almighty Commentator I've done that whole encounter hand-to-hand purely before (non-lethal), well aside from the mech which I had to use an emp on, so yeah it's quite doable with a non-lethal weapon, although you'll probably still have to use a bunch of energy bars throughout to regenerate your energy cells (if you at all intend on using takedowns, invisibility, etc.) if you're on Give Me Deus Ex, as the regeneration is really slow at that difficulty. If you're gonna use a tranq rifle, use it for taking out the snipers up high without having to get close to them and such, for close-quarters it's pretty shit, keep to takedowns there if you're not gonna use a stun gun (which is way better at close range). If you ARE going for full non-lethal though be careful with the mech that drops in the middle of the enemy troops at one point during that fight, when it goes down after you take it out it explodes, and that can actually kill nearby unconscious enemies you took down before. Can ruin a whole non-lethal playthrough.

[@thomasferlauto7981]

gilless429 Thanks! Btw I did a non lethal takedown on an entire map then decided to fling some explosive barrels at each other to watch the fireworks- killed 3 people I forgot about. xD Last time the self destruct didn't kill anyone else- so I'll be fine as long as I'm careful. I wish they allowed more interaction with malik- would totally have dumped Megan for her- and you can't do much exept flirt with her ONCE the entire game. ( ͡° ʖ ͡°)

His smile flourished my crops, cleaned my water supply, and removed the plague that was delivered onto my house!

Gotta hand it to the animators, the face and eye movement is excellent. After looking at the toy, you can almost see a childlike curiosity in his body language as he turns the box trying to look for clues.

[@Scytheslinger]

I always assumed Jensen ate so much cereal because he was depressed and couldn't be bothered to cook. But considering that he's still doing it two years later, perhaps he just needs a lot of quick energy to fuel his augs.

[@frannydai]

Good observation. I think it's a little of column A, a little of column B.

[@angbandsbane]

There's a Kai Leng joke in there about how she didn't leave him any cereal, but I'm just too happy Malik is alive to make it. Here's hoping to the third Adam game at the latest, boys.

[@TotalTech_]

This is actually more heart warming than you think In the original game you had the option of saving her or letting her die This shows that Adam is NOT in fact heartless and specifically shows that he went back to save Malik instead of letting her die

[@raistlin3462]

In my headcanon, Adam cannot bring himself to prioritize the heist over saving Allison.

[@OliveiraWard]

Yeah the scene you see if you skip the construction site really fast is horrible. Malik getting dragged out and killed. Jeez

[@chrisbumface2990]

I really hope we find out what happened to Malik inbetween HR and MD and where she is now in the future sequel. I mean we know what happened with Pritchard and Sarif but no mention of Malik but with an easter egg? What is she doing in the Czech Republic? Is she an agent now? Who knows.

[@GtNetr]

I really hope we get future sequel :c

[@sharioforel]

Why didn't they bring her back for Mankind Divided? It couldn't be much of a stretch for Adam to recommend her for a job as a pilot at his new place.

[@gamedammeister2934]

With Faridah Malik being my favorite character in the franchise and as someone who always saves her, this scene made me so happy. ^_^

[@hepzibah4573]

why is she your fav character?

[@gamedammeister2934]

Well, other than her just having a likable personality I like how she was a 'light in the dark' character. By that I mean in the games everyone has shadowy intentions and agendas, whereas she is genuine and has no ulterior motive. She was truly there for Adam when needed, either as a comrade or as a friend.

[@hepzibah4573]

Gamedam Meister I prefer it if they just let her disappear, so that whatever the player did in the previous games stays canon for the player.

[@gamedammeister2934]

It's not like you have to click on the cereal box to activate this scene. If you played a Human Revolution where she died(you monster) just don't click it and she is never mentioned. I agree with you in general, and I believe they said from Mankind Divided on they'll be tracking your choices so that canon stays canon.

[@hepzibah4573]

Gamedam Meister I let her die! I had no choice. It was either i survive or both of us dies.
