Since apparently the smallest changes now require approval, here we are.
Starting with the easiest things:
The description of Icarus Dash aug says as follows: "The Icarus Dash augmentation allows users to propel themselves horizontally at great speed across a short distance, whether on the ground or in the air. It achieves this by generating an electromagnetic pulse-wave behind the user, which applies pressure evenly across the user's back".
according to NASA, any kind of electromagnetic wave travels at the speed of light...
"Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum just like the light waves that we see. Light waves, radio waves and all of the other electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light—about 300,000,000 meters per second!"
...which would grant Jensen Speed of Light in short bursts. Furthermore, we've seen Viktor Marchenko reacting to Jensen's Icarus Dash in the trailer, and depending on the player's actions, Jensen can fight and defeat Marchenko at the end of Mankind Divided (Marchenko himself has Icarus Dash). Depending on the player's approach, Jensen can also fight his way through numerous Shadow Operatives, some of them being equipped with Icarus Dash. This could potentially catapult Jensen's Speed.
The rest of the changes I've implemented were mostly cosmetics, to make the profile a bit cleaner and easier to read. You can see them here.
So, thoughts?
Starting with the easiest things:
- Acrobatics - On two occasions we can see Jensen performing acrobatic maneuvers. Pretty straightforward.
- Resistance to Fire and Electricity Manipulation - Based on the comic. Again, pretty straightforward.
- Forcefield Creation - Shouldn't Jensen's TITAN aug count as Forcefield Creation, or something like that?
- Statistic Amplification - Jensen already has this with Focus Enhancement aug, but this should be expanded with the description of Reflex Booster which "enables to execute quicker, more impressive feats of strength and dexterity", meaning it amps (in short bursts) not only his reflexes (Speed), but his strength (Attack Potency and Striking Strength) as well.
- Possible Resistance to Hacking/Technology Manipulation - Depending on the players' actions in Human Revolution, Megan Reed can "insulate Jensen's chip to prevent external signals from reaching it". Thanks to this, Jensen remains unaffected when Hugh Darrow starts broadcasting the signal which makes augmented people all over the world go bonkers.
