In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, this would have been a very bad thing indeed. Several poorly chosen dialogue tree options later, the gang leader pulled out his gun and aimed it squarely at Jensen's head. What to do? Hand over what meagre funds I had in order to secure an ID, or talk my way out of it? The latter seemed like the more sensible option, but as it turns out, diplomacy isn't one of my strong points. He offered to craft an ID for an outrageous amount of credits, or at least offer to put one on hold for me for a lesser amount. Following a glowing blip on the mini-map to the next mission checkpoint is fine, but there's always another cupboard to open, another pile of scrap to be found that can be used to fashion new bits for Jensen's growing pile of artillery.Įventually I found the leader of the gang, positioned outside of a lone courtyard in the centre of city. Despite its futuristic setting, Deus Ex is, at its heart, a typical RPG, the kind that says it OK to walk into a random apartment and rummage through peoples' drawers for random bits of loot, while at the same time expecting you to ask permission to pass through a police barricade. I lost an hour and a half to finding a fake ID, scouring the streets of Prague for the criminals that sold them, while getting lost in shabby apartment buildings along the way. That's the thing about Deus Ex: no matter how hard you try to stick to the mission, no matter how much you want to reveal the next snippet of the story, it's there, pushing and prodding you into one of its many side quests. The convenient result (for the developers in charge of player progression at least) was that Jensen's augmentations stopped working, and the only man who could fix them was a doctor living in Prague. Earlier, he'd fought his way through a sandstorm in Dubai, gunning down augmented terrorists on the hunt for weapons, before being caught out by an unfortunate explosion. Which, when I stop and think about it, is odd, because that wasn't the reason Jensen was in Prague in the first place. He needs that ID, and I'm going to help him. And so, even under the employment of Task Force 29 (an Interpol-led anti-terrorist group), super-aug Adam Jensen can't charm his way past a protected police post. Manhandled by a prejudiced police department and endlessly scanned and monitored by robotic drones, augs have been shunned by society, forced into ghettos where resentment runs rampant, and violence becomes the answer. In the aftermath of a devastating worldwide attack, for which augmented humans were responsible, security is tight. Featuring brand new gameplay footage captured on PC, Mark takes Adam Jensen on his first mission into the heart of the aug ghetto Golem City.I've spent the last hour hunting down an elusive black market ID syndicate in the heart of Prague, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's sprawling city hub.
