How would you go about a sequel to the original deus ex and dealing with its multiple endings? [and lets pretend invisible war doesn't exist here]
I think what i'd love, which probably has no chance of working due to how the endings are all vastly different, would to do things like mass effect did where it read the save from the previous mass effect games and changed things in the next game [rather than sorta combining all endings] depending on your choices. Now how would that work with deus ex's endings? I've no idea lmao. I think it'd be interesting if it chose what class your character and many npcs are and the augmentations you get if you chose a certain endings, like for example if you chose the machine god ending perhaps it gives you certain powerful augs you wouldnt get otherwise. and at the very least it changes the first mission and opening cutscene. maybe if you chose tong's ending, you wouldn't be able to use any augmentations unless you did some sidequest or something. also perhaps the story or enviroments in the game would be slightly different depending on what you chose. and maybe if you joined the illuminati you'd have valuable insight and connections you wouldnt have otherwise. this would all probably be a idea that wouldnt work well and wouldnt be satisfying with how varied the endings are, but i'd love to know how you think a true sequel to the original could work. I've been thinking about how multiple endings like this could work when it comes to my own project tbh.
