(+) Yeah! (+)

. . . . . in that your character starts off with barely any upgrades, equipment, and money. Your training is essentially interrupted so I thought it made some sense that your character is not fully upgraded and equipped. As for the character essentially becoming a freelancer after that in the story, that I thought was a little odd.

In Deus Ex, DX: Human Revolution, and DX: Mankind Divided, I thought it was a little odd that you're working for the government/a major corporation and yet you need to buy your own upgrades and/or steal money.

In Deus Ex case, did it seem weird that you passed the academy with basic training in everything and yet your skills starts off as untrained?

For DX: HR, Sarif Industry spent whose knows how much money equipping Adam with the best possible augments they have but can't be bothered to give him some Praxis kits?

Overall I still love this series and can understand from a gameplay point-of-view why you aren't fully upgraded, equipped, and funded from the very start but from a story point-of-view, did it made any sense?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you

IIRC the reason Adam couldn't just bust out all of his augments at once is because they would fuck him up. He had to 'ease' into it by getting used to them or whatever.

I liked Invisible War quite a bit. I feel exactly the same way about it as I do about Bioshock 2. The story in the sequel isn't quite as good as the first game, but it's still good, and the gameplay is improved in meaningful ways.

That does makes sense then. I recall the game takes place about six months after the attack so Adam haven't had too much time to adjust.

EDIT: Adding to this, I guess JC being a fresh out of the academy would explain why he isn't fully augmented either.
