->''But I don't see how these days you could have a game with anything near as much depth and complexity as Deus Ex 1. And before all you people who like TheWitcher 2 start pounding your keyboard so hard that it starts snowing Cheeto dust, I meant the kind of complexity that ''I'' like. A plot where people can reference philosophy and GKChesterton in really, really bad accents, and it has [[InventoryManagementPuzzle intuitive inventory sorting]], and a health system where you can get all your arms and legs blown off and have to slither over to a health station using only your lips.''
