10 Video Game Side Quests You Should NEVER Finish
5. LIMB Clinic Upgrade - Deus Ex: Human Revolution
The dystopian reality of Deus Ex is a place where you can't trust anyone, especially the big corporations and the secret societies running it all. However, since the lore and the gameplay are two different things, the player might choose to lower their guard a little bit, and this is how the game gets you.
In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, your character, Adam Jensen, can find himself experiencing some odd visual glitches. Your coworker, Francis, will suggest visiting a LIMB clinic to upgrade your augments' software in order to remove them.
If you follow Francis' advice and get the right treatment, the clinic will equip you with a new chip that gets rid of the glitches. However, the software upgrade does come with some unspoken consequences that happen later in the main story.
When Jensen confronts Zhao, the game's main antagonist, at the Omega Ranch, the woman will use a special signal that disables the cybernetic enhancements of all people with the glitch-removing chip. As you can imagine, this makes the following boss fight with her super soldier henchman a lot more difficult.
Who knew getting upgrades from your enemy's lab was a bad idea?
