History Awesome / DeusExHumanRevolution

** The battle against [[spoiler:William Taggart where you confront him about Humanity Front's involvement in the attack on Sarif Industries ''in the middle of a live televised press conference''.]] This is especially awesome if you managed to convince [[spoiler:Taggart]] by [[spoiler:accusing him of being no better than Sandoval (who has been revealed to have helped with the previous attack on Sarif), which will make Taggart angry enough he starts to curse at Jensen a bit before he can regain his composure]].

** How pointlessly tragic.

* Gaining the support of a die-hard fanbase already [[BrokenBase dissilusioned]] by [[VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar Invisible War]]? Impressive. Gaining the approval of the infamously hard-to-please [[ImageBoards /v/]] with [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity a leaked demo?]] ''Astounding.''

*** Taken UpToEleven with [[spoiler:[[ThatOneBoss Jaron Namir]]]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v1X5F0d58I here]]. Spam the takedown button ''juuust'' as he mantles a wall and it's a OneHitKO.

* Getting through the first level by knocking out every single Purity First man without any of them ever suspecting a thing. Even the otherwise unpleasable SWAT are ''damn'' impressed and actually acknowledge that sending you in first was probably a good idea.

** [[spoiiler:Saving Malik from the ambush, without breaking pacifist conduct, takes a ''lot'' of effort, but is Awesome UpToEleven when you finally succeed.]]

** You can find a PDA with orders for spec-ops troops in which you are referred to as "[[BigBadassWolf Sarif]] [[OneManArmy Attack]] [[AnimalMotifs Dog]]".

** Here's one for the record books: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOeOgalT2Wg Adam Jensen in Zhao Yun Ru's penthouse]] with [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Augmentations_%28DX3%29#Quicksilver_Reflex_Booster Quicksilver Reflex Booster]] plus a fistful of [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Concussion_grenade_%28DX3%29 concussion grenades]] and a [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Cyberboost_Proenergy_Jar Cyberboost Proenergy Jar]] equals CurbStompBattle. Forget [[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/penetrate-the-deus-ex/707554 the Penthouse trailer]] - you can beat the ever-loving crap out of a dozen of [[PrivateMilitaryContractors BellTower's]] finest like you were [[Film/TheMatrix Neo]].

--> '''Adam Jensen''': ''Women always underestimate men.''

* While the final stage suffers from [[spoiler: DisappointingLastLevel]], there's a very fun and satisfying way to beat it, as there are many [[spoiler: unarmed, stupid and weak zombie-like enemies]]- just make sure to stock yourself up with battery replenishing candies and jars from LIMB clinics and buy the reflex aug that lets you perform double takedowns. Now go, and make Jackie Chan proud.

* Listening to some of the NPC chatter in ''The Missing Link'' makes it clear just how much of a badass Jensen is. One NPC will even point out that half the base is scared shitless of Jensen, especially if he's been running around killing everyone.

** Getting the [[LevelDrain Factory Zero]] achievement certainly qualifies. The soldiers have [[HeavilyArmoredMook armor]], [[MoreDakka guns]], [[HumongousMecha box guards]], [[LaserSight laser sights]], [[InsecurityCamera alarm systems]], [[ZergRush vastly superior numbers]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking locked doors]]. The only thing Adam really has going for him is [[CombatPragmatist his own resourcefulness]] and the ability to [[MegatonPunch take someone down in one hit]], the latter of which he can usually only do once every thirty to sixty seconds; not much help if he's against more than one person. It's ''more than enough''. Scared shitless of Jensen? Of course. FearIsTheAppropriateResponse.

** This particular troper has never felt so amazed at the results of feeling like a true hero

** How pointlessly tragic.

* The [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Takedown]] moves. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYpuzHyEY8Q&feature=related A taste.]]

** Even if [[SelfImposedChallenge you're doing]] a total stealth PacifistRun, they're ''still'' terrified of him. After all, there's a guy loose in the complex who's a heavily augmented SuperSoldier and who managed to take out ''five heavily armed and well-trained soldiers'' in a greatly confined space, while disoriented and surrounded after being forcibly woken from stasis, before finally going down -- and it still took eight men to do it. And even though they can tell where's he's ''been'', [[NightmareFuel no one knows]] [[ParanoiaFuel where he]] '''''[[ParanoiaFuel is]]'''''. As one guy says, "Do ''not'' let the low casualty count fool you. It only means he is more resourceful and more dangerous."
