Line 32:
** Likewise, harm anyone at PDX HQ when allied with them. King Kashue will frown upon it.
* [[Big No]]: {{spoiler|Scara and Ryan}} if you {{spoiler|ban them via the space station}}
** Early in the game, you must choose to save or kill Silver Dragon, which decides whether you'll fight for PDX or WC for the rest of the game. The prize for saving him is hearing Scara deliver the most wonderful [[Cluster F
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: A hidden conversation with Jonas {{spoiler|by "summoning" him via cheats in the DXI ruins}} has Jonas' lines in Danish. The conversation rapidly cycles through several tropes, most importantly Trestkon [[Repeating So the Audience Can Hear|repeating everything Jonas says]] for the benefit of English speakers with Jonas acting as the [[Intelligible Unintelligible]] - which Jonas is [[Lampshade Hanging|quick to point out]]. Trestkon justifies himself by questioning how many Danish speakers will actually play the mod, while Jonas pessimistically questions how many ''people'' will play the mod.
* [[But Thou Must]]: Averted. You choose which faction to support, and the game reacts very differently to different dialogue choices.
Line 44:
** [[The Unfought]]: Phasmatis.
* [[Boss Room]]: Spoofed in the WorldCorp story during the fight with Slicer.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: King Kashue will regularly poke fun at the fact that Trestkon is Canadian, for example in the first conversation the two have, he asks if Trestkon has been "cooking moose kebabs over a polar bear dung fire" while he's been gone.
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: The fist description claims that they are "also good for showing off if you're too l33t to use actual weapons."
* [[Cluster F
* [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink]]: Due to the nature of PlanetDeusEx Forum City being based on Deus Ex.
* [[Cool Shades]]: Apparently, almost everyone, including you.
Line 57:
* [[Emergency Weapon]]: Fists.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Several characters do this, when {{spoiler|[[Kill and Replace]] [[Doppelganger]] Treskton does this it provokes the response, "What the hell!? Who are you!? And why do you look like me!? And how come you can laugh like that when I can't!" from Trestkon.}}
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: The Cult Wars, though the Llamas get a [[Pet the Dog]] moment in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] if they win.
* [[Fan Fiction]]: As a representation of an internet forum, a fan fiction shop exists in-game.
* [[Fell Off the Back of A Truck]]: The PHAT rifle.
Line 85:
* [[Interface Screw]]: At one point in the PDX story {{spoiler|Trestkon downloads an insane AI into his brain}}, causing the screen to randomly spin, zoom and wobble. Latter, you may optionally allow one character to serve as [[Mission Control]] for a level. During this talks incessantly across the infolink at some points, which prevents you from saving the game. This while jumping precariously over an instant-death magma pit. No way it wasn't intentional (at least it is quite funny).
* [[Friend On the Force]]: Phasmatis, Trestkon's former superior from his special forces days, functions as his friend in the government.
* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]]: Tres''kt''on was born of the countless misspellings of the protagonist's name.
* [[Joke Weapon]]: Screw driver, the Llamas' and Goats' sporks/foons, plus the original game's pepper spray.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Half the swords are Katanas.
Line 107:
** {{spoiler|To help the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] [[Take Over the World]].}}
** {{spoiler|Same as above, [[I Can Rule Alone|but betray the]] [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] [[I Can Rule Alone|and rule over Forumplanet]]}}.
** {{spoiler|To help the [[Ubermensch]] stablish Forumplanet [[What Now? Ending|as an anarchy]]}}.
** {{spoiler|The super secret ending with [[No Fourth Wall]].}}
* [[The Multiverse|Multiverse, the]]: It is mentioned that Gamespy's other Planet sites have Forum Cities similar to the one where the game takes place. The most information given for any of them is Planet[[Half Life]] has a thriving mod industry. Design notes mention a Planet[[Halo]] arms merchant who never made it into the game. The description of the "Mana potion" item mentions they were brought over by a planet Diablo merchant.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Despot, when he tells Trestkon he left Ghand in charge.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The Narcissus Entity only actually addresses Trestkon in a single line, where he asks Trestkon his thoughts on the player's actions, and a single endgame conversation; every other time, he addresses the player. He exists as a tool to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] sequence breaking, replacing messages that depend on the support of a faction when neither can be used. For example, entering one area ({{spoiler|Despot's Apartment}}) the password to which ({{spoiler|Despot / GS_Rulez}}) has not been given yet will result in Narcissus asking Trestkon what he thinks of the fact that he was "able to recall information that was never inserted into this branch of reality". In its own words, "Your puppeteer makes its presence apparent".
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: The developers have mentioned they cared about getting Jonas' name ([http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-nameless-mod/features/noesis-presents-moddb-tv-the-nameless-mod pronounced with a y sound]) pronounced right.
Line 131:
* [[Post Cyber Punk]]
* [[Post Modernism]]: How very much.
* [[
* [[Relationship Values]]: Kylie Griffin, your [[Psycho Ex Girlfriend]], might like you more or less depending on what dialogue options you choose when talking to her.
* {{spoiler|[[La Résistance]]: DXO.}}
Line 146:
* [[Slouch of Villainy]] / [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]] as seen in [http://teknikal-vision.deviantart.com/art/2009-TheNamelessMod-sketches01-116861757 this] fanart of Scara that the developers used for his character portrait in the manual from version 1.0.2 and is "absolutely spot on".
* [[Stop Helping Me]]: You can ask an NPC called Beeblequix to help you open a few doors in one area, but his primary function is to distract you with his inane comments about his favourite soaps, dead rat anecdotes and even some music while you are attempting tricky platforming sections. You are unable to quicksave during his remarks. This is deliberate and lampshaded when he points out it was SO ANNOYING when this sort of thing happened in Deus Ex.
** Thankfully you can turn down his help, and have the option to murder him [[And Your Little Dog, Too|(and his cat)]] if he pushes you over the edge.
* [[Story Driven Invulnerability]]: Averted, you can kill anyone who is not a moderator (and you do find a way to kill these in some of the [[Multiple Endings]]), you can kill boss characters like [[Psycho Ex Girlfriend|Kylie]], [[Career Killers|ZeroPresence]], and [[Intrepid Reporter|Slicer]] early in the game. However, it is played straight with {{spoiler|Scara B. King. You can kill him, but you trigger a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] if you do it before [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]].}}
* [[Talking Animal]]: It's apparently possible to choose an animal model for the Forum City avatar. Examples include a cat in PDX, a dog in the Llama temple and a wolf, with whom Trestkon worked in the past and who can give you a subquest.
Line 159:
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: Seriously, you'll know when you get there.
* [[Tradesnark]]: Every term associated with the Goat Cult always has a ™ added, even in subtitles.
* [[
** One of them even warns you when you're about to enter a particularly long-winded conversation, which is littered with increasingly rude options for escaping the branch.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Shadowcode has a pretty realistic face. The (admitted to be deliberate by the devs on IRC) This is creepy in a game where the graphics are intentionally designed to look like they are from 2000.
* [[
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can hurt and kill anyone who's not a moderator, {{spoiler|Scara B. King}} or one of the two reanimated heads in the voodoo shop.
** In contrast to King Kashue rewarding you for keeping enemies alive, Phas will reward you for doing the ''exact opposite''
Line 171:
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: Though later in the game it gets more linear.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The bonus material shows a lot about the early design. The city in the intro is an old version of the corporate sector that was dropped because, while it looked nice, it lacked in gameplay.
* [[What the Hell, Player?]]: Many instances, for example, killing Kylie while you're allied with WorldCorp, or going on a killing spree in PDX HQ when you are allied with them.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: Affected by your actions during the game.
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: Llama high priest Beefman speaks like this. Jonas claims it's meant to make him sound like an idiot. Lampshaded by the party zone owner, who says that he speaks Elizabethan english for no reason.
* [[You Bastard]]: You will get this a lot from the PDX gang during the World Corp storyline.
