I'd like to go the way of Adam Jensen.
Near dead and they need a Guinea Pig. But that just seemed REALLY cool to me.

"let" is too weak a term to appropriately define my disposition on the subject. i would go way past cyborg and possibly past android if it were possible. the less human i am the better.
Only if it was for an existing condition or an amputation I had in the past. I wouldn't cut off parts of my body to replace them with augments. That was a part that bothered me in Deus Ex: HR when you figured out that Serif has Adam's right arm and both legs cut off for no real reason.
Glasses don't count; I'm only counting active augmentation of body parts, so things that you wear, like exo-skeletons and glasses, doesn't count.Muspelheim said:
Yes. Hell yes.
I want internal Wifi.
My brain will merge with the machine, and I will become a goddess. And all of you will love me and despair.

I was thinking more people would veto just straight up doing the augmentation, but would be willing to have it done if necessary, which is how I would be. But, it appears more people would just jump on the bandwagon of augmentations without a care in the world. And do you know what I would say to all these...people? Good, I can't blame you, I'm just a chicken that would miss my human body parts too much, and even if I wouldn't fully notice, I'd still be slightly scared of the idea of doing it simply for shits and giggles, but hey, that's just me.
And then do you pass the test? Afterwards, will you diminish and go into the west?Bara_no_Hime said:
Congradulations! You win an internet cookie for actually noting the source of that joke. No one has ever actually made an in-universe joke as a reply before. Kudos.klaynexas3 said:
And no. Because, if I was her, I'd have taken the ring and ruled the damn world. Stupid noble elf.
I'd say take the ring AND go west. They'd never expect rings to be a threat there(unless that is something in later tolkien books that I have yet to read).Bara_no_Hime said:
I would consider some sort of subtle upgrade to my senses that wouldn't render them completely useless if there was a malfunction, but only after augmentations had gone through a few iterations and the kinks had been worked out. Bionic appendages would be cool and all, but I don't need additional strength in my daily life, and those would be really visible, which comes with a host of problems. I would only even think about getting a brain improvement if there was near 100% assurance that I couldn't be remotely controlled afterwards, or killed by an electromagnetic disturbance.
that entirely depends on what kind of augments you are referring to, as that can be anything from a new fingernail to full on terminatorFroggy Slayer said:
to give some assumptions though, yes i would get implants, as more than likely (making the assumption here) they would make me, a better me, and i could hopefully use that newfound power/gifts to help people or make daily tasks easier to complete or being able to complete them faster (such as digging a trench for new plants, i had to do that last week and fucking sucked ass.)
also, i would not want one that could be remotely/wirelessly controlled, and had minimal software interface, as to keep the part from needing software upgrades and such. (have everything be mechanical or linked with my nerve system.)
I'd consider it but I'd be very wary of any side effects not to mention a point blank refusal to use anything that could be hacked remotely, just thinking on what happens in the first mission of Dues EX HR makes me shudder.
Not only would I, but I'm getting seriously impatient for this kind of transhuman technology.
Kurzweil, don't you dare be wrong.
One basic augmentation I'm really looking forward to is eye implants. Seems like a logical result of things like the Oculus Rift and Google Glass.
First, we have Oculus Rift and Google Glass. Soon enough, we might be able to have computers as powerful as the PlayStation 4 in our glasses, and be able to have an Oculus Rift experience anywhere we can wear glasses. And what's next? Perhaps they can put such technology in contact lenses. Michio Kaku seems to think that will happen someday.
And then what beyond that? Well of course, I can augment my eyes to basically have a Oculus Rift/Google Glass experience anywhere on the go. It would be nice to basically just have a high end PC/PlayStation 4 in my eyes. And there'd be all sorts of augmented reality technology to make my day to day life much easier.
Boring job? Have Pikachu dance for me in the background everywhere.

Sure. I never played deus ex human revolution, but I saw all the videos for it and that all looks really cool.
