Line 9:
* [[Game Breaker]]: The Dragon's Tooth sword in the original. Seriously, even on the hardest difficulty, the weapon makes the rest of the game a cakewalk.
** Before the DTS, the GEP gun counts as well. Rockets aren't that hard to come across, and you can use it to breach locked doors until you get the DTS, not to mention you can get it in the first conversation of the game. The only downside to the weapon being its size, but it you have points into using weapons such as this inventory tends to be a minor inconvenience.
** Maxing the ''rifles'' skill makes shotguns 100%-precise, meaning all pellets somehow hit exactly where you're aiming at. If you then find an autoshotgun you basically get a [[One
** The assault rifle. Give it a laser sight, and you have perfect accuracy with no recoil spread (as clarified below). Give it a silencer, and the enemy won't know about that perfect 5-round (after maxed rate-of-fire mods) burst to the head until it's too late. But that's not even the best part. No, the best part is the included 20mm grenade launcher, which means it has Heavy Weapons firepower with ''none'' of the drawbacks of Heavy Weapons (aside from ammo scarcity), all for four measly inventory squares!
*** One disadvantage is the 20mm ammo is far harder to find than rockets, but for everything else, it is very convenient.

** Starting a new game while in the middle of a previous game would give you all the equipment you had in the previous game at the beginning.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: After the game's release, [[Real Life]] has had many events disturbingly similar to parts of the game's backstory, such as the NYC skybox having no Twin Towers (memory issues), a "Grid zoning" law was passed, and upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court, that allows the government to seal off sections of cities, etc.
** Two MJ12 soldiers discuss FEMA's ability to usurp the elected government based on [[Real Life]] [[Paranoia Fuel|existing Executive Orders]]. The mishandling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath in [[Real Life]], though, has caused much of the public to view FEMA as [[
* [[Hype Aversion]]: Being hailed one of the best PC games ever for over ten years straight no doubt puts some people off from it.
* [[Les Yay]]: There's a pair of women in the Lucky Money Club who are quite clearly into each other.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Page has much of the world, including the player character, playing into his hands. Only a handful of people know the truth about him.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Some of the more memorable [[So Bad
** Demanding a "skul gun" is also popular among fans.
** On the fan content side, there's the infamous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxi7JRJrod4 Deus Ex: The Recut].
