Yes, we uncover the Illuminati’s plot, but what the f–k is Bob Page doing there? And, on top of that, we presume by reading emails that Joseph Manderley, head of Deus Ex’s UNATCO, is orchestrating the actions of the Tyrants, otherwise known as those annoying bosses we have to fight during the game.īecause these characters are so important to the greater Deus Ex canon, you have to wonder why they aren’t actually in the game while being in the game, and their existence on the periphery implies that there is more going on than we are ever told. This gives the appearance that very little of what is going on in Human Revolution ties in directly to Deus Ex aside from simple world building.īut Page is there, on the periphery, doing something. This puts them at the heart of the game’s conspiracy, although the apparent architects of this plan are a bunch of folks who do not appear in the original game. Late in the game, we learn that the Illuminati intend to use augmentation biochips to gain control over all augmented humans. Otherwise, though, Page is utterly absent from the game, and his presence isn’t really felt in it aside from a handful of emails addressed to him popping up here and there. It is clear, though, as Page is the first character we see in the game and the last voice we hear at the end. Bob Page was pulling the strings behind the entire conspiracy in that game to unite the world under a single government using the Grey Death to beat the public into submission.īob Page is also pulling the strings in Human Revolution, but the game is afraid to make that clear. In that game, he ran Majestic-12, which had forcibly taken over the Illuminati. You might remember Bob Page as the main villain of the original Deus Ex. I don’t love it because, in the end, the plot falls apart. If you read this despite that warning, you aren’t allowed to complain about spoilers. This editorial contains spoilers for Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. We take games we’ve already reviewed, and give them a sober second look once the post-launch dust has settled. “Aftershock” is a recurring feature column on Game Front.
