Line 82:
** If a plan called "New dark age" sounds like a good idea, you know you are screwed.
* [[Crazy Cat Lady]]: Aimee, in the condemned building in Paris.
* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: Going around with 0 HP in every limb cripples you severely, but though you do bleed a lot, it never actually kills you. This is probably because of the nanomachines in your body keeping you alive to the fullest extent possible until you can replenish your health, by sealing your wounds and preventing infection and shock from setting in. Strangely, [[Non-Player Character|NPCs]] have the same ability to a lesser degree...
* [[Cyberpunk]]: The series crosses the whole spectrum between this and [[Post Cyber Punk]]. ''Deus Ex'' itself straddles the dividing line.
* [[Cyberpunk Is Techno]]: The soundtrack for certain areas reflect this, along with the nightclubs.
Line 219:
* [[Plot Hole]]: The game gives at least three years as possible for the current date. A solid statement that the game takes place in 2052 is the only thing fans seem to universally accept about ''Invisible War''.
* [[Powered Armor]]: The MJ-12 Obsidian power armor used by [[Elite Mooks|MJ12 Commandos]].
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Killing {{spoiler|Joe Green before being asked to, or the gatekeeper at the graveyard will elicit this response from characters}}. Some [[NPCs]] will come up with what would in normally be dismissed as paranoid conspiracy theories in real life, but in the universe of ''Deus Ex'', they are just about spot on.
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: Aquinas spoke of the mythical city on the hills ...
* [[Punch-Packing Pistol]]: Among the most famous in gaming.
Line 305:
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: The upgrade canisters.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Half of the UNATCO troopers are named and occasionally strike a conversation with JC. This means there's a high chance that later, when they want you dead, you'll be doing an almost-[[Pacifist Run]] trying to not harm any of the old buddies.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Shooting a [[Mook]] in the legs, tranq'ing him several times and watching him run away as his partner looks on in disbelief is on the ''low end'' of the scale in terms of brutality. In fact, the game takes on a decidedly different tone (with various characters admonishing you for your actions) if you decide to kill plot-sensitive characters or NPC'sNPCs before you're asked to. Better yet, you can:
** Light people on fire with a flamethrower, and watch them run around in pain until they drop dead. Alternatively, you can blow them into [[Ludicrous Gibs]].
** Sucker invulnerable characters (like Gunther in the opening mission at Liberty Island) into attempting to destroy the turrets at the front of the Statue of Liberty, and watch the carnage (and copious amounts of blood) that result.
