Human Revolution's thought provoking dilemma: Are Augmentations good or bad?
Yes Jensen explains how he tried to do the right thing when he showed us all his cool tricks like impaling people with rods that extend out from his body or snapping someones neck in such a cool way.
Did you even
play the game? Way to over-simplify with 'Are Augmentations good or bad?'. If you actually sat through the different endings, you'd at least
have a glimmer of understanding regarding the dilemmas Jensen faced.
Regarding Jensen's 'cool tricks', it all depends on how you play the character. If you
play him as a man trying to do the right thing, i.e. killing only in self-defense, he does express remorse at the end. Maybe you'd be happier playing something like Doom; then you wouldn't have to give yourself a headache trying to determine whether or not there are 'thought-provoking dilemmas' involved.

Sincere apologies.
No need to get nasty, though.

You miss my point. I'll spell it out for you the best way any special needs teacher can relate information to a room full of MR children.
Jensen: I use my cool 3rd person abilities to do really cool things such as murdering everyone I come across. I get to the end and press a button to get an ending of my choosing (even the one where I didn't kill anyone even though I snapped everyone's neck and stuck rods through their bodies)! Yes, I am sorry I went around murdering everyone but because I said sorry I get to have the ending where I act as if I were so diligent in my efforts to protect and save human life. I guess there is no dilemma if you can play a certain way and still get any outcome that tugs at your heart. It says a lot about the society we live in. You can do whatever you want and still have everything in the end.

Not the way I saw it, especially in
one of the 'evil Jensen' endings wherein you abused your aug-powers to commit murder. Imo
there was no heart-tugging in endings such as this:
