<div class="IPBDescription">SPOILERS WITHIN! BEWARE! YARR!</div> <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>I MEAN IT. SPOILERS AHEAD. THIS POST WILL RUIN THE GAME FOR YOU IF YOU READ IT. SERIOUSLY....</span>
My first choice was the mind-meld with the AI. I then went though and beat the other two. I much preffered the ending to the AI one though. If I ever write some AI software I'm gonna nickname it Shodan or Daedalus. ^_^

I just saved it before the "point-of-no-return" story-wise, although I have to say my intial choice, and the choice I stand by, was with Tracer Tong. Medieval all the way, baby.
I'm still trying to stay as far away as possible from any Deus Ex 2 spoilers because my GeForce2 is keeping me from trying even the demo. To get an idea of how serious I am about going into the game with no outside info, consider this: when I got the DX2 soundtrack from the website, I considered the mere track titles to be horrendous spoilers about locales visited in-game.
Omar
Illuminate
Templar
Dentons

Quoteth The Sandlot...
"You're killing me Smalls, you're killing me!"
I told you it was awesome, but did you believe me? <i>nooooo</i> you had to go on about System Shock 2 being better or some blashphemy like that.
Anyways, I, like pretty much everybody else, did all of them. I was equally satisfied by the Illuminati and Helios endings. I made sure to kill Tracer Tong in DX:IW for trying to get me to make a new "dark age". hippy.
The secret ending is just a bunch of women dancing in some club while the camera goes WHOOOSH over and over.
The "secret" 5th ending was when you killed all the faction leaders and just walked away, allowing the world to go on without all the meddling.
I enjoyed Deus Ex 2, It wasn't a bad game, but I was terribly disappointed. It was pretty obvious that they just didn't put as much work into it as they did for the first game.
And just a note to some of you, the so called secret ending in the first game was more like a whimsical cheat. If you activated the unreal console and entered the command "legend" a nifty menu came up. If you chose to load the 4th ending map it was basically a Deus Ex dance party with all of the chick models in the game.
The quotes were much more fun to watch IMO.

Neg. That's the Omar ending, the secret ending can be found by picking up the flag where you enter the UNATCO building, dropping it in Manderley's bathroom, and flushing the toilet. It's basically all the major characters dancing around in club vox with a bunch of datacubes with quotes floating around. Much better than DX1's secret ending.

Oops, my bad. I remember the Omar ending differently. Don't ask why.
MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER
deus ex 2 sucked until around the last level it was barely anything like the first one <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Don't bother, not a very good game. The first one I loved though.

Oh, and like everybody else, I went with Helios.
No, it isn't as good as the original. Sadly, it is nowhere near as good. Oversimplification is the main problem.
Yes, I enjoyed playing it, but it is a meer shadow compared to its former DX1 self. Oh, what <i>might</i> have been.
Remember that episode of Chapelle's Show where he said he was from a long line of dissenters?
"Man, Spector is f***in' up!"
Also, Spector is known to be highly interested in non-violent gameplay. So here's to hoping.
As for DX1, my personal best game ever, I went with the New Dark Age. Why? Easy: Ever played Fallout? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But yeh IW sucked and SS2 is way better than Deus Ex.
I am offended by this word. Please censor yourself. Admins PLEASE add this word to the swear filter, it's too obscene!
