The story sucks. The idea of merging all 3 endings of DX into a single outcome is terrible. All 3 choices at the end of DX contradict each other and are completely adversarial. They cannot all happen at the same time without making the choices meaningless.
If I were to make a DX sequel, I'd just pick one ending and go off from there; probably Illuminati or Tracer Tong, since you couldn't really continue off of the Helios ending without betraying that ending's intentions. You could even make different sequels based on the different resulting worlds to avoid having a single "canon" ending: an Illuminati sequel would continue the kind of global intrigue seen in DX1 since that ending just preserves the status quo, while a Tracer Tong sequel would feature a smaller, more local conflict in a less technologically advanced setting, maybe going a little in the Mad Max direction.
I also hate how IW basically has no good, satisfying ending. The "best" ending is just the Helios ending version 2, which I just don't agree with.
