Please report back...I want to know mostly about the level of conspiracy theories injected into the plot and locations.

What do you think so far, third eye?

Having not worked the last two days, I've had a chance to spend a good chunk of time playing; probably about 15 hours. The game is really, really good, not genre redefining or anything, but very good and worth the scores it is getting.
It is hard to respond to questions about the story as even at 15 hours in, I feel like I'm just starting to get into it, which is a good thing. Im the guy that does every side quest and explores everything, so it takes me awhile to work through a game like this. The conspiracy stuff is just starting to be overtly discussed, but anyone familiar with the series will be able to read between the lines of some of the dialog and abundance, and I mean abundance, of text (email, ebooks, etc). In fact, the word "illuminati" hasn't even been used yet, though right before my last save my character says "thank you for illuminating me," which feels a bit like foreshadowing. As far as locations go, I've been in Detroit the whole time so far, but am getting ready to go to my next city.
There definitely is plenty to do and plenty of ways to do them. The versatility is nice. Both in terms of ways to attack a certain objective, and in terms of your skill trees which really allow you to play the game the way you want. Certainly not the deepest game ever in this regard, but no slouch either. The graphics can be hit or miss, from some excellent cutscenes and special augment power animations, to some rather drab and boring city textures. I should mention that I've seen a few, not many and not really a problem, graphical glitches as well.
Overall, a really good game that I would recommend to everyone.
