Alpha Prime: Difference between revisions

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] - The conversations between Arnold and Paolo.

** "Shut up!"

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - When Arnold vows revenge for {{spoiler|Warren and Paolo}}, the latter of which he barely knew.

* [[Die Chair Die]] - You can't destroy most objects, but due to the physics system, they will get in your way a lot, especially chairs.

* [[Faceless Goons]] - Once you get to the Company soldiers.

* [[Final Boss]] - {{spoiler|Glomar Olivier}}

* [[Funny Foreigner]] - Paolo. He constantly shifts into Italian, brags about his Roman heritage, and even starts singing an Italian opera at one point.

* [[Gatling Good]] - The main rifle in the game is known as the "Gatling LE" and features six rotary barrels.

* [[I Never Told You My Name]] - Arnold starts to become suspicious of {{spoiler|Livia}} due to this. He points out that it's quite odd that the marine commander knows him by name as soon as he arrives, despite Arnold being some nobody prospector who only came to the asteroid to resuce a friend.

* [[Informed Ability]] - In the first level, you come across a cannibalised corpse, and Arnold explains that excessive Hubbardium expose turns people into mindless monsters. However, the insane miners you fight in the game act completely like normal humans (and don't even yell or shout crazy stuff during combat) and can even be seen sitting around lounging at their offices or drinking coffee together at the cafeteria later in the game.

* [[Kick the Dog]] - The conversation between Olivier and Paolo, {{spoiler|leading to Paolo's death}} though it's technically one of his men who perpetrates it specifically against his orders.

* [[Late to The Party]] - Arnold comes to Alpha Prime directly as a result of what happened before, and what happened before is incredibly important.

* [[Literal Genie]] - {{spoiler|Glomar}} gives you whatever you were thinking when you touch {{spoiler|its heart.}}

* [[No OSHA Compliance]] - Largely averted. Most areas have rails and other safety measures. The only reason why the place is dangerous is because it's been abandoned and since fallen into disrepair. The mine at the end deserves particular mention, since the entire thing is actually railed and it's difficult to fall off or knock someone else off. This doesn't stop the game from showing the unfortunate victims of elevator accidents or an exploded gas line though.

* [[One Bullet Clips]]

* [[Oxygen Meter]] - Used for exterior parts of the asteroid. Can be refilled from oxygen dispensers or walking into an airlock.

* [[Poirot Speak]] - Paolo.

* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] - You descend into a mine with glowing hubbardium growing more and more prevalent.

* [[Weapon of Choice]] - Arnold is always holding a rifle in the cutscenes.

* [[Wreaking Havok]] - The game is very proud of its physics engine, although it never uses it for any major puzzles.

* [[Xanatos Gambit]] - Coral Snake's plan. {{spoiler|The entire time, Livia just wanted to get back to Alpha Prime to get Glomar's heart to the Company. The protagonist thinks she is on his side, and the antagonist is also trying to get the heart for the company. Whoever gets to the heart and kills the other makes the heart available to her and the Company.}}
