This reminds me of a detail from the plot of the original Deus Ex. Part way through the game, there is an optional dialogue with a benevolent AI. If you question it enough, it reveals that it is the rejected prototype for an anti-corruption/terrorism AI which was turned off for being too effective: eventually classifying its own masters as a criminal organisation.
- rurounijones 8y agoI have played that game many many times and never came across this conversation. Time to play again I guess.
- ldp01 8y agoI think I got the conversation wrong... But it's definitely revealed at some point. My memory has gotten fuzzy! Definitely time to give it another play through.
- NikolaNovak 8y agoHmm, wow... I played original Deus Ex a few times and do not recall it. Is it part of the recently released "Revision" uplift? :-\
- Barrin92 8y agoman this thread makes me want to replay the game again. It's in the original game and it was the MJ12 Daedalus AI, although I'm not quite sure where the player picks that piece of backstory up. It might be in the dialogue with the prototype in the Everett house.
- ldp01 8y agoYeah it's Daedalus. I Googled it and I'm factually correct but I must have the conversations mixed up in my head... It might be one of the human characters who tells the player about it. Definitely time to give it another play through.
