* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Possibly all of them, except Page (and even that isn't really a "fight"). Since Deus Ex is consequent, a rocket or grenade or a knife to the neck will instantly kill a boss character just as well as a regular mook. There's also the fact that, due to engine limitations, the augmented bosses don't actually use any augmentations (besides invisibility), they just have increased health and resistance to special effects like fire, plasma, or tranquilizers.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Bob Page, Walton Simons
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: You can play as a man who blows up a train station to defuse a hostage situation, then tells others to use non-lethal weapons to save lives, and later kills a man in front of his daughter before performing an eulogy for him without ''ever'' raising his volume above "bored monotone", resulting in a character whose motivations boil down to "[[It Amused Me]]".
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Deus Ex/Awesome Music|Has its own page]].
Line 48:
** The security cameras BWEHBWEHBWEH when the spot you can get seriously annoying if you get caught in loop of repeatedly trying to sneak past them
* [[Narm Charm]]: The way non-combatants run around randomly in fright. The animation and randomness just makes them look hilarious.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Morpheus is one and easy to miss, too, if the player doesn't explore a bit.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]. ''And how''. [[Lampshaded]] by Harley Filben if you kill nosy reporter Joe Greene {{spoiler|before he tells you to do so}} and by Stanton Dowd if you kill the suspicious graveyard caretaker. Of course, {{spoiler|[[Properly Paranoid|you're 100% correct in killing them]]}} ..
** Icarus, {{spoiler|the malevolent all-knowing sentient AI built to replace Daedalus in monitoring worldwide communications}}. Your first contact with it is an abrupt, growly voice message accompanied by an image of a disembodied eye that you recieve as you move through the dark Paris sewers , frankly informing you that it has full access to your systems. It proves this contacting you unexpectedly a few more tims throughout the night: calling you out on breaking into someone's room to steal their posessions, questioning your intentions, placing misinformation and messages on infolinks and computer terminals that you access, calling a nearby telephone, and as you investigate {{spoiler|1=the DuClare mansion, informs you that Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.}} This goes on and on through the night for quite a while before you get to talk to someone about just what the hell is going on. It's uncompromising mindfuckery means it qualifies as [[Nightmare Fuel]].
