Deus Ex all 3 endings

[@nmn5550]

Dark Age - Anarchists win. Helios - Birth of an artificial god. Illuminati - Capitalists win.

[@Jesus_Offical]

You coud say a Deus Ex Machina

[@Ravager4561]

Dark age: The people are free to rule themselves Helios: Monarchy A single wise leader to rule Illuminati: Aristocracy a small group of elite rules over the world

[@unpotatoedsalmon]

@@Ravager4561 This is more correct

Still my all time favorite game. One of the earlier games that let you make choices that impacted how the game ended, great story, good soundtrack, just overall an awesome experience. There is a fourth ending, but I think you have to use a cheat to get to it.

[@nathanbruce1992]

Thanks man, just finished and got 1 ending but didnt want to backtrack for the others

[@nsa3679]

Didn’t even finish cuz Revision on Realistic just burst my ass

[@tremendousyeet3467]

hah, Nathan the Bruce! your name sounds like a European monarch.

[@norbucso]

Not 1 of them looks terrible. Which is great. The world is not black and white such as these choices. 21 years ago and still more actual than ever.

[@Yveldi]

Exactly. I chose the Helios ending, and after seeing a few clichés through the story, I was really anticipating a "oh no, bad bad denton, u've been greedy, now you die" moment. I really appreciate that they are all more or less what you expect, and the choice is philosophical more than anything else. I would love to see how many people chose which ending on their first play-throughs.

[@glenngriffon8032]

@@Yveldi i always choose Helios because I feel that with the guidance of the AI, my JC, supported by my personal morals and moral choice to spare as many lives as i possibly can, my JC would make a decent God.

[@glenngriffon8032]

@@tremendousyeet3467 Depends. Do you hack the ATMs? Do you gun down the MJ12 troopers because they're in your way? Is your JC, are you the player, someone who doesn't think twice about killing someone who got in your way? Do you steal anything not nailed down because you justify it with "i need this more than you"? Do you kill innocents? Do you kill kids? Cause you can. Do you try to help people because it's right or because it gets you a reward? Just what kind of person is _your_ JC? Who did you just make into God?

[@gerodorm.7]

@Tremendous Yeet my JC wouldn't. Ever since you send the signal Alex tells you to send from the old NSF warehouse and Walton Simons tells UNATCO troops to attack you, I pretty much gave up on stealth and started murdering everyone being stealthy was slower and more tedious (having to be sneaky and positioning yourself so you can use Charger Prod or Baton on the spine of the characters to make them unconcious, as they usually didn't get stunned or unconcious the first time and it was really annoying) than just straight up murdering all the bad guys (which becomes especially true once you obtain the Dragon's Tooth, with the Speed augmentation you could just run at every humanoid enemy and slash at them until they're dead

[@Catinkontti]

I believe that this was the first game ever to have alternative endings each of them being about something different and real. It did have a lot of different outcomes and branching storytelling as well. Deus Ex was so far ahead of its time in so many ways that we are still playing games today based on the standards it created.

[@sharkyjeff]

daggerfall also had good alternate endings

[@DollarDude]

It seems pretty clear that the Illuminati ending was meant to be the real ending at the time Deus Ex was released, but Invisible War made the Helios ending canon seemingly just 'cause.

[@thespacemanfil]

Wdym helios ending is the true ending, the other two endings suck balls.

[@dormcat]

It would be perfect if Nicolette DuClare walked passed the two (JC and Everett), mirroring Maggie Chow, Walton Simons, and Bob Page in the intro sequence respectively. The Illuminati ending was also tougher to achieve (had to fight/evade MJ12 troops, grays, greasels, and karkians) than other two. @@thespacemanfil Because the Illuminati ending would have the minimal impact on normal people's lives.

[@banbrado28]

Always felt Helios was the real ending because the game is called Deus Ex, like Deus Ex Machina. God in the machine is exactly what you end up creating.

[@dragroch5536]

Dark Age one is blissful ignorance.

[@XenoNecromorph]

Think that would literally be the Illuminati ending since most of mankind is unaware of the invisible hand guiding them.

[@Tihowiel]

i agree. In the end it would just be a setback to, inevitably, the same outcome.

[@davidalbu3441]

In my opinion, from best to worse endings are: 1-Merge 2-Dark age 3- Illumminati

[@WastedGoatFR]

I expected one to be obviously the right choice and the rest to be rushed and underdeveloped. I picked the Merge ending and I was shocked that the game didn't beat me over the head for doing so. Yes it was suggesting that Tong's ending is better but after seeing all of them I truly believe I've made the right choice, because all of them are somewhat right, no wrong answers.

[@MRZG-.-8]

Dark age best

[@JanJanuszNosacz]

For sure Illuminati option is the worse one.

[@bobpage6597]

No, its not. I'd take the Illuminati ending over Tong's ending. Tong's ending is the worse one, sadly based on Invisible War's storyline it seems to be 'canon'

[@JanJanuszNosacz]

@@bobpage6597 Why you consider Tong's ending the worse one?

[@bobpage6597]

@@JanJanuszNosacz Wreck's global communications and causes absolute chaos. I'd rather live in a stable + functioning world with the Illuminati pulling strings from the shadows aha.

[@birch337]

@@JanJanuszNosacz Imagine the amount of deaths and suffering happening only because some idealists want to live in a world of complete freedom. Besides, the pure evil of these games is not the Illuminati, but Bob Page or some other crazy power hunger member, who wants to be the sole person in charge.

[@randompersonxy1033]

@bobpage6597 Aren‘t all of them canon in some way
