Line 28:
** Not necessary maxed out, even. Level 13 Martial Arts Skill, the Point Blank Shot, while moderately useful in combating [[Mooks]], can be used to end bossfight within seconds, provided that you can get in range for HTH. Against Omen Deng and Marburg it's certified perfect. The trick is, the shot is treated like end of the combo, so it lets you chain several combos together.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: ''AP'' predicts ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' in letting you build your character however you like and then kicking your arse with compulsory bosses that you might lack the combat skills to handle.
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** Thorton and Darcy if you have good rep with him.
{{quote|'''Mike:''' Hey, Darcy photoshopped our faces into a still-frame from a buddy-cop movie. That's... yeah.}}
** Also Mike and Heck.
** There's also Mike and Marburg, if Mike goes out of his way to impress Marburg by acting as a [[Consummate Professional]]. It's helped that Marburg's background is [[Not So Different]] from Mike's, and the fact Marburg is implied to be [[Ambiguously Gay]] by Mike and Madison (since Mike questions the statues of naked men in Marburg's mansion, and Madison affirms that she never saw Marburg "entertaining" any female guests).
* [[Made of Iron]]: Thorton in cutscenes may as well be invulnerable regardless of what's thrown at him. Most (if not all) of the bosses fall into this category too, able to survive close to a good half dozen headshots. In a row.
** {{spoiler|And the cutscene in which Mike spares Leland, only to get interrupted by someone. And by "interrupted" I mean "shot through the upper chest with a sniper rifle from about twenty feet away - which results in a column of [[Pink Mist]] erupting from his chest. After a couple of minutes of looking about you're about to get a [[Nonstandard Game Over]], Mike's back on his feet and good as new.}}
