** The "one ammo type for every gun" mechanic. In theory, this would be great because (unlike other FPS games) you no longer have to worry about finding the correct ammo for your guns of choice. In practice, once you're out of ammo for one gun, you're out of ammo for ''all'' your guns.

In practice, once you're out of ammo for one gun, you're out of ammo for ''all'' your guns. Another problem comes from that the UI represents the amount of ammunition in the current clip as a plain unsegmented bar that lowers as you fire. This leaves the player guessing precisely how many shots they can fire.

This not only foreshadows that they are [[spoiler:both owned by the same parent company]], but is also an unusually oblique instance of BlandNameProduct, as another prominent character in the same novel is named... Starbuck. It should also be noted that Pequod was a possible name for the real coffee chain before the company settled on Starbucks.

** The John Stuart Mill quote from the Helios ending seems, at first blush, to be saying that the primary work of a human being should be to improve themselves. However the quote is part of an argument against automation, which claims that the more machines that are created to fulfill human functions, the less human people will become. In other words, it's a very harsh rebuke of the player's choices.

** An organization that frowns upon technology, wants to destroy all augmented humans for being impure, has Knights and Paladins in its ranks and wears PoweredArmor. Are we talking about the Knights Templar or the [[VideoGame/Fallout4 East Coast Brotherhood of Steel]]? Add to the fact that their power armor's AchillesHeel is in the back - just like fusion cores.

* VindicatedByHistory: When the game was first released, while it got overall positive (if a little lukewarm) reviews from critics, it received a very mixed reaction from the playerbase. Nowadays, most people concede that as a sequel to the original ''Deux Ex'', it falls somewhat flat, but as an RPG on its own merits, it's actually quite good.

* CompleteMonster: The seemingly pious [[DarkMessiah Saman]] is the primary orchestrator of the game's war, as both the leader of an extremist sect of the Order, and secret Grandmaster of UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar. Believing Her Holiness has been too lenient of the Luddite believes of the Order, Saman converts an army to followers to his cause, seeking to depose her. Under his orders, the Templars commit a series of attacks to exterminate genetically altered beings; to get to an [=ApostleCorp=] lab alone, he has the city of Chicago blasted with a nanite detonator, reducing the city to ashes and killing millions of people. He then corrupts [[PlayerCharacter Alex]]'s friend Billie into being his loyal foot soldier, to try to kill JC Denton and eventually having Billie and Alex fight to the death. Despite all this, he still tries to manipulate Alex onto his side and will actively try to kill Alex when Alex resists. Saman's ultimate goal is to spread a nanite plague around the world, at which point he would start a [[SinisterMinister genocidal theocracy]] under his command.
