Cybernetic Augmentations (Advanced limbs)

Created by: Lorkhatosh

When Nexis first announced Deus Ex update I was hype as fuck, and lungs/advanced eyes upgrade was neat but I heard that there would be more and hoped that it would eventually happen...it did not.

My main issue with no actual augmentations is the fact that genetics with a lot less effort and resources gets actual super powers, while science has little to offer in terms of bodily augmentations in a world where they should exist.

I suggest Goon like "modular borg" system to create augmentations. Obviously to balance stuff out they would be really high research/high material cost items.

So RD does a lot of research and Roboticist gets "Augmentations" tab. In there he gets different parts to assemble augmentations. For example how I imagine limbs would work:

Modular Limb Chassis
Modular Limb Hull Modular Limb thingy that gives it it's augmentation advantages

There would be multiple parts in each of these, like:

Limb Chassis: Left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg Limb Hull: electricity resistant so you can't get shocked, emp protection laced so that said limb would get affected by EMP damage less, ROBUST hull that generally has more damage resistance Thing that gives powers: Modular tool-hand (A hand that would have UI button similar to borg UI over said hands icon, so you click that button and something like an inventory comes out, when you click one of the tools in the inventory the hand turns into that tool), ROBUST module (Just makes you really strong, not Hulk strong but it should do damage comparable to a toolbox or something), SANIC module (gotta go fast), Magnetic feet module (no need for magboots with these) etc.

Roboticist would do something like this:

Roboticist prints out Modular left hand Chassis Roboticist prints out Modular electricity resistant Hull Roboticist prints out Modular tool-hand (A hand that would have UI button similar to borg UI over said hands icon, so you click that button and something like an inventory comes out, when you click one of the tools in the inventory the hand turns into that tool) He assembles these parts and he gets electricity resistant hand that has all of the tools inside of it, perfect augmentation for engies.

It would also be possible to revamp eyes and lungs in the same way. I can't think of anything for lungs but still it would allow for future features.

Eye Chasis Eye Module (Sechud, medhud etc.)

And of course there should be illegal research like Chainsaw hands and Lubespray feet(Legs that leave a trail of lube behind you once loaded with lube )

I just think that cybernetic augmentations would add a lot to "to do" list of scientists, give everyone some new toys to play around with and generally add to the feeling of FUTURE. I am actually surprised that this is not a more requested thing. Most importantly the modular design of the limbs would allow to easily tweak each of the different parts and easily add new limb parts.
