New Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Trailer Focuses on Story, Augmentations

[LonePunman]

So where do all these augmented people come from?

Out of the writer's arse, mostly.

In DE:HR the vast majority of people weren't augmented. Augs were expensive and people who had them needed to take a drug (also expensive) for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies from rejecting the implants.

People got them to replace injured limbs or organs. Others got less drastic, mostly invisible augs to help with their jobs. There was some mentions of employers preferring augmented people. Although why, say, a teacher or a receptionist or an architect or a taxi driver etc etc would need augmentations of any kind is beyond me.

Now suddenly there's a ton of augmented people and they're an underclass. Who can still somehow afford expensive drugs.

There were also illegitimate, black market augs... don't forget, that was a main plot point of DE:HR. Hell, one of your beloved companions gets hacked up for their augs if you fail to save them during a crucial point of the game.

But anyway, these people get "illegal" augs and basically become neuropozyne junkies, indentured to drug lords or the providers of the augs, plunging society into hell.

Am I to understand that the $140 edition of the game doesn't include the season pass? Really?? That's pretty greedy bs if you ask me..
