** 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-Bomb]] ever. (Scara is always foulmouthed, but this is just amazing.)
* [[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.
* [[Boss Battle]]: All of them [[Skippable Boss|avoidable.]]
** [[Anticlimax Boss]]: All of the bosses you fight are still human, and fights can result in this if you carry stuff like Vortex Grenades, LAWs, GEP Guns...
Line 132:
* [[Post Modernism]]: How very much.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Skills have gained new uses (Demolitions can be used to make Molotov Cocktails) resources for lockpicking/electronics are fewer (and now you have doors/pads of decent lock strength you can't just blow up) and make the respective skills decent investments, some computers need higher skill levels to hack while Swimming has been removed entirely (and replaced with Fists) in an attempt to fix this from the original game.
* [[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.}}
* [[Retraux]]: The game's graphical ability mirrors the original ''Deus Ex'''s 2000 era graphics despite being finished in 2009 and set in 2004, even with the new assets.
Line 140:
*** Not to mention that most of the doors in the game have infinite strength. A good way to breeze through Deus Ex was to breech doors with explosives and rockets, which could usually be found almost everywhere. [[The Nameless Mod]] makes them much harder to find, forcing you to rely more on lockpicks, multitools, passwords, and alternate paths opposed to sheer force.
* [[Shadow Dictator]]: Despot.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many. To [[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]], [[Snow Crash]], etc...
* [[Sidequest]]: Many more than in the original game.
* [[Simultaneous Warning and Action]]: Goats have a REALLY long line for this
* [[Skippable Boss]]: Pretty much all of them.
* [[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.
* [[Talking the Monster To Death]]: Because [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Ghandaiah's... ahem, "reality" [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|is based entirely on his vivid and colourful delusions]], it is possible to convince him to spontaneously burst into flame.
