10 Video Games That Forced You To Answer Impossible Questions

6. Deus Ex

Having finally put a stop to insane, billionaire Bob Page and his plans to conquer the world, you€™re left with the very important question of what to do with it. The first option is to side with the illuminati and rule the world in secret, preventing anyone like Page from ever rising to power again; the second choice is merging with the HELIOS AI and becoming an omnipotent, benevolent ruler who answers to no one; the third option is destroying the facility and restoring power to the people.

The Decision: Do you merge with the HELIOS AI, join with the illuminati or just blow the whole thing to kingdom come? Destroying the facility gives power to the people, but it also sends the world back into the dark ages. On the other hand, merging with HELIOS grants you complete power to make the change you want to see in the world, but there's something about an individual having all that power that just does not sit right.

Finally, you can join the illuminati, putting non-elected groups in major positions of power throughout the world, positions that could be easily abused. Unfortunately, regardless of what you decide, the sequel somewhat merges all endings together, meaning they're all canon.
