According to videos like this the game did not understood Deadpool and only perpetuated stereotypes about Deadpool about Deadpool making jokes about memes and him breaking the fourth wall. But then there is a scene where Deadpool looks at the mirror seeing his face saying 'why would anyone want to see that' and the game saying 'hope the game doesn't try to do the tragedy behind the comedy'. This makes me realize the game did understood Deadpool as a character. But that is not all because the game is said to be 'written and directed by Deadpool'. What I think is Deadpool does not want the game to be about 'I got cancer so weapon x and healing factor but my face is ruined so I use jokes to mask my pain blah blah blah' but wants to have the a cool game or at least what he considers to be cool. Deadpool wrote and directed a game which caters to the fans who liked him making jokes and breaking the fourth wall because that is what he thinks the audience wants instead of making a game about his trauma. There is a scene of Deadpool getting a script and he draws over it with a crayon thinking it is boring. The game makes more sense if you are aware that this is written and directed by Deadpool himself and that this is what he wants to show not his psychological state.

When it comes to doing a pacifist run of the game the question is 'Is it possible to beat the game without the player killing a single npc' and the answer to that question is...technically yes.

Some people might be confused and say all of the bosses must be killed by the player to complete the game but that is not true.

Barrett gets damaged by his own grenades and he can certainly blow himself to death. Fedorova is more tricky but you can trick her into electrocuting herself to death. Namir is the reason reason why it is technically possible to beat the game without killing anyone. It is possible to skip Namir boss fight using out of bounds glitch. As for Hyron women they are possible to be knocked out by a tranquilizer rifle and you can hide behind Zhao's body so that the sentry robot shoots at her trying to shoot through you.

so let's see the methods
Barrett: self sabotage by his own grenades
Fedorova: trick her into electrocuting herself to death
Namir: out of bounds glitch skipping his boss battle entirely
Helle and the other two Hyron women: tranquilize them
Zhao: hide behind her so the robot can kill her trying to kill you

One of the things I like about Eidos-Montreal Deus Ex stories is how it does not pretend the unpopular installments do not exist. Many franchise wether it is video games, films or comics tend to pretend their unpopular entries does existing or decanonize it but Eidos-Montreal did not. If you read Icarus Effect a character mentions the WTO is controlled by the Illuminati meaning Invisible War will eventually happen later in the timeline. Mankind Divided also has Alex Vega appear and the game mentions how she joined the Juggernaut Collective so they did not ignore The Fall. The Versalife vault in Palisade has an email talking about the Shackleton Facility meaning even Mankind Divided acknowledged Invisible War is the end of the Deus Ex timeline not the original even if it was a minor reference. Also I did not see Eidos-Montreal Deus Ex stories taking jabs at Invisible War and The Fall which would be very easy but they didn't. It is interesting to see they did not pander to those people.

While Ivan Berk was made mostly for the trailer the emails written sent to him represent that very well. It is a very sad one.

After the Aug Incident Ivan Berk and his wife move had to move to Golem City. Despite his brother in law Lt. Whittaker(main antagonist of Desperate Measures) tried to get Ivan and Melissa out of there it failed and they had to stay in the ghetto.

Seeing his wife needing to go through hardships and seeing himself and other augs suffer in the Utulek Complex radicalized Ivan Berk.

Ivan Berk joined the Augmented Rights Coalition. He was manipulated by Viktor Marchenko the Illuminati spy in ARC to think blowing up himself and the Ruzicka Station would be a noble sacrifice.

But at the end he was just a pawn for the Illuminati and it made things worse between naturals and augs

Keanu Reeves appears in original scenes in Enter the Matrix which are not archive footage from The Matrix Reloaded. When Morpheus greets Niobe and Ghost, Neo can be seen standing with Trinity. Neo says absolutely nothing and stands there for 6~8 seconds.

When it comes to blowing up PRCS Wall Cloud there is a issue if you want to do a true non-lethal run. The game never has the ship sink in game but it is assumed it eventually explodes. I have seen people knocking out everyone in the ship and placing their unconscious bodies outside the ship but that to me felt like a waste of time. Instead what I did was activating the cloak aug(and using mouse item duplication glitch for infinite bioelectric cells and activating Power Recirculator) then going around blowing the weak points only. I don't know about you but the ship isn't that big and Tracer Tong saids it takes 30 minutes for the ship to explode so if someone dies inside that ship it is their fault.(especially with the loud alarms)

Unlike The Missing Link dlc for Human Revolution you cannot simply put the three dlcs in the middle of games.

In order to make this mission fit they would have to first remove Chang from the Cyber Crime Division location so that Jensen meets Chang on his way out of TF29 after his visit to Golem City. Also instead of having Jensen going outside of TF29 using his keycard, meeting Pavla, arriving and leaving Terminal Station in a cutscene those section would all have to changed so that Jensen physically walks to those places. I think Desperate Measures should start at any point after Jensen leaves TF29 after his return from Golem City.

System Rift is the confusing one while it still takes place after Golem City and has to be after Desperate Measures. How to fit this story in the middle of the game is the question because of how the dlc starts. The weird thing about that dlc is that it starts with Adam sitting in his house watching tv. I am not sure having a objective called 'go to your house and watch tv' makes any sense. At no point in Mankind Divided other than side missions involving 'Helle' makes you go to Adam's house during the second visit to Prague. The DLC's opening needs a lot of change. It would also require the player to be able to freely go back and forward to the Palisade Blade's plaza and the metro around it. Also I am not sure how to deal with the part where Adam jumps to the water to escape blade. Maybe make it so he jumps in the water and teleports to the Plaza?(and later take the metro home)

Criminal Past would have to stay in a Jensen Stories. The part where Adam is in Arizona prison is set 6 months before Mankind Divided but the part where Adam and Delara talks is set 3 months after Mankind Divided.(dlc mentions Arizona events happened 9 months ago) You cannot simply put prison events in the start of the game and then put the part where Adam and Delara talking at the end of the game since it destroys the flow of that story.

Desperate Measures is the easiest to incorporate in the main game and System Rift would require some story alteration but Criminal Past is not possible to be a part of the main game.
