Deus Ex: Human Revolution endings

These are the available ending cutscenes in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which are based on one of the four possible final choices of the player in Panchaea. Other than this choice, no other actions the player makes as Jensen during the game has any effect on the outcome; therefore if you wish to see all four endings, simply save the game before selecting an ending.

Hugh Darrow: I Want To Believe
Requirements: Follow Darrow's request, in which nothing is held back and all information is revealed to the world. It is not explicitly stated whether all biotech research is banned, but Jensen remarks that humanity will surely fear it.


 * Deus Ex establishes this ending as non-canon.

William Taggart: It Was Something In The Water
Requirements: Follow Taggart's request, this choice covers up the truth and places the blame on Neuropozyne poisoning. This results in stronger regulation, ultimately strengthening the Illuminati's position.

David Sarif: Terrorists Did It
Requirements: Follow Sarif's request, where the blame will be laid at the feet of Humanity Front. This causes people to shift their anger towards extremism and allows research and technology to progress unfettered.

Self Destruction: The Truth Is Out There
Requirements: Do not select any of the three above messages to send, but instead activate Pancheae's self-destruct mechanism. The rationale given for this action is that Jensen feels that it is not up to Darrow, Taggart, Sarif, nor even himself to determine mankind's fate. He has faith that humanity will eventually do what is best, and this is why he elects to remove them all from the equation.
