There's been alot of talk about Deus Ex 2 in the last couple of days so i started this thread to speculate and post new ideas about what we think will be in Deus Ex 2. What characters we think will make a return, who will the main character be and what will the storyline be?
Let's start.

I think you will play either Paul or **** (from the cryovats at the start of sector 3) Denton and the ending will be the Helios one.
I hope they put in a sniper crossbow, and a longrange multitool!

See, I heard that you play JC, and it starts off with the premise of the Helios ending in DX1, so you're already running the world.
The whole game is just going to be a lot of clerical work, meetings, and system checks on Helios.
I, for one, am excited.

I think you will start off playing as Alex Denton. I think the ending will be from either Illuminati or Helios.
This is what i think for the story. Everett says that he is comming in to Area 51 and will meet you just outside the complex. I think that they will make it so the player chose the Helios ending and as understanable Everett is not happy. So he and Dowd go down to Sector 3 and take out Alex and the other 2, they take them back to Everett's hide out and incorporate Morpheous AI into Alex. Therefor creating a showdown with Alex AI and JC AI.
What do u think?

J.C. will die off, and you will assume the role of either a woman or man, your choosing, and the story will go from there. You might play J.C. at first, or you might not, but either way, he gets killed off early because he is weak, and the player builds a new character from that point, even choosing either a female role, or a male role. Where the plot is going to go is still up for grabs at this point.

Hmm.. try this on for size; they want to tie as many endings together as possible, right? This initial setting will (I suspect) tie all three of 'em together:
Helios has disappeared from the world's networks, which are themselves very unstable and low-bandwidth. Area51 has vanished off the face of the earth; there's been a huge explosion, a thermonuclear missile, something. The old Illuminati are missing, presumed killed in the very same explosion, because they were trying to infiltrate the place and follow JC in order to ensure that their own ends came to pass.
Yet, something is still subtly influencing and guiding the world. Did Helios/JC survive and fake its own death, reducing the world's nets to practically nil for some subtle goal? Or did the Illuminati do so instead? Or did JC blow up Area51, and the world's nets are only working due to JC's hacker buddy (aka "The Griffin") desperately maintaining the massively overtaxed backup systems?

Im thinking its gonna be long after the ending of Deus Ex. Deus Ex will be just be a backstory.

This is some stuff i've thought of,
More skills, like adding in more ways to kill an enemy quietly. Such as sneaking up on them, disarming them and then breaking their neck. More specific weapon upgrades, so ou can become the ultimate sniper, or infiltrator etc
More branching in the storyline.
Improvement in the AI.
Drivable vehicles.
Change over to a more powerfull engine, which allows for more enviroments, weather effects, and thicker -more realistic player models.
That's all i can think of for now.
