I tried to play DX1 once. I quit in the intro when the lead villains said "[...] and then we'll take over the world, muahahaha". Nothing can make up for that sort of thing. I'd honestly prefer watching grass grow. At least watching grass grow doesn't make me cringe.

DX1's reputation is pure nostalgia. Standards have risen since then and now DX1 is below par.

You judge a video game based on a 2min intro video? Listen more carefully and don't judge something in 1-2 minutes.

Deus Ex 1 has still one of the best stories in a video game. It's a lot more complex and awesome you might think. And yes, the game has different endings and the player can decide if the visions of the intro becomes true. The while graphics aged though the gameplay is still great.
