"Corporations have more power than the government."
- Adam Jensen
Deus Ex: HR is a prequel to the original Deus Ex, and is set in the year 2027. This is 2 years before
JC Denton was born, and 45 years before
nano-augmentation became common. You take control of
Adam Jensen, a former police officer, who is currently a private security specialist for
Sarif Industries, a biotechnology company based in North America. An augmented black ops team attacks the Sarif research labs in the opening of Human Revolution, a level of attention for which he and his team are completely unprepared. Adam is nearly killed and must become augmented to save his life. A "generous donor" provides military grade Sarif Industries augmentations - including two mechanical arms, linked by metal bars sunk under his chest, and retractable, head-mounted sunglasses - which are installed by a Sarpatech technician. He is then sent home to recuperate, struggling to come to terms with his body's fusion with machines. Soon he is chasing down leads all over the world, never knowing who he can trust. Today Jensen tends to be a loner, rather than a leader. He believes there are multiple ways to achieve a desired result, and instinctively looks for answers from himself first, consulting others only after his own ideas are exhausted. He is what you would call a 'working class hero:' dependable, resourceful, curious in a stand-offish way, with a streak of hardcore cynicism mixed in.
Also, I cannot believe that there wasn't already a topic on this awesome game.
