Question 1

True or false: In Deus Ex, you can complete the entire game without killing a single enemy.

Accepted Answer

True. A pacifist run is possible using non-lethal takedowns, stealth, and bypassing encounters entirely.

Question 2

True or false: The phrase 'I never asked for this' is a direct quote from Adam Jensen in every Deus Ex game.

Accepted Answer

False. The phrase is associated with Adam Jensen, who appears only in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, not in the original Deus Ex games. So it cannot be in every Deus Ex game.

Question 3

True or false: The Deus Ex series was originally conceived as a cyberpunk RPG set entirely underwater.

Accepted Answer

False. The original concept was a first-person shooter called Troubleshooter, not an underwater RPG. The cyberpunk setting and RPG elements evolved later.

Question 4

True or false: Deus Ex: Invisible War was set in the same city as the original, just 20 years later.

Accepted Answer

False. Invisible War takes place across multiple locations, including a rebuilt Chicago and Cairo, not the same city.

Question 5

True or false: In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Adam Jensen’s sunglasses are purely cosmetic and provide no gameplay benefit.

Accepted Answer

False. Jensen's sunglasses are cybernetic eye implants that provide his heads-up display and augmented reality interface, crucial for gameplay feedback and the social enhancer's visual cues.

Question 6

True or false: Deus Ex’s main character, JC Denton, was voiced by actor Jay Anthony Franke.

Accepted Answer

True. Jay Anthony Franke, an actor known for TV and voice work, voiced JC Denton in the 2000 video game Deus Ex.

Question 7

True or false: The original Deus Ex features a hidden ending where you can kill all major characters at once.

Accepted Answer

False. The original Deus Ex does not have such a hidden ending. Killing major NPCs alters dialogue and encounters, but the game still concludes with one of the three standard endings.

Question 8

True or false: A real-world conspiracy theorist sued the creators of Deus Ex for using his likeness without permission.

Accepted Answer

False. Milton William Cooper threatened legal action over the game's use of his book 'Behold a Pale Horse,' but no lawsuit was ever filed. He died in 2001.
