Line 20:
** In Festival of Blood, the [[Big Bad]] Bloody Mary counts as well.
* [[Evil Pays Better]]: Subverted, if you're paying attention. Evil Cole's powers seem the better deal on the surface, but the way the bonuses stack, they're actually fairly balanced. Evil Cole gets more splash damage, but Good Cole doesn't need to worry about charging up. Taken to ridiculous extremes in the sequel, when you get Bolt Stream, which combines with your Karmic bonuses to give you a machine gun with a bottomless ammo magazine and no reload time.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The first encounter with a Ravager, a Devourer, the Behemoth, the exploding Corrupted you first see after {{spoiler|Kuo is kidnapped}}, and random fights that break out in the streets.
** Also during the mission where you are traveling through the swamp with Nix, there comes a point where you hear a loud stomping and growling sound in the distance, but Nix tells you to ignore it. {{spoiler|You hear the exact same sound later when you fight [[Fridge Brilliance|Bertrand]]}}
* [[Goddamn Bats]]: God damn snipers! You'll often find yourself peppered with gunfire from above when you're exploring an area on the ground (yet another reason to take to the rooftops) and their attacks can whittle away your health while you're trying to focus on guys with rocket launchers or Conduits.
Line 29:
*** Don't forget the Spikers, which are quick, numerous, and have long range attacks on a par with any mook running around with an automatic. On the other hand, this does make Cole's melee animation for killing them, a punt, incredibly satisfying.
** ''Festival of Blood'' being about vampires contains these by default but special mention goes to the Harpies who bounce around just out of reach hanging from improbable locations shooting you with dual Uzis also the zombie civilians who swarm you during certain missions and can deal more damage with a single melee swing than the minibosses can.
* [[Good Bad Bug]]: You can fry any conductive item in the game with your standard bolt a couple dozen times, then drain it for way more juice than you'd receive from a power box or light post. Since the bolt doesn't drain any energy, you're basically creating your own electricity. Very useful in tunnels or Alden's tower.
** Sometimes easier to come by, you can also do that with corpses. Or ''enemies.''
** For the most part, this cannot be done if you haven't restored power to that area of the city. Only a couple of certain structures will let you recycle electricity.
Line 42:
** {{spoiler|Kessler's [[Sadistic Choice]] for Cole: should he save Trish, or six doctors?}}
** In the sequel, {{spoiler|the Evil Ending requires Cole to personally kill Zeke. He takes multiple hits, and just keeps raising his gun.}}
* [[The Scrappy]]: Trish, Moya, the Voice of Survival, and Zeke ([[Rescued
* [[Selfish Evil]]: Evil choices on the karmic path are typically framed in terms of "let/make others suffer for your personal benefit" rather than "let/make others suffer for fun," e.g. forcing a bystander to expose himself to dangerous chemicals so you don't have to deal with those chemicals yourself. Of course, the game won't stop you if you choose to [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|electrocute random civilians]].
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Alden, to some degree. One has to wonder what exactly Kessler did to turn a scared little orphan into ''this''.
