Line 13:
* [[Action Bomb]]: The Radiation Angels at the Temple of the Mushroom Cloud explode into a pile of glowing blue dust after you defeat. Why yes, it is radioactive.
* [[Action Girl]]: Christina, one of the few recruitable NPCs who has a unique picture.
* [[
* [[After the End]]: "Somehow, life goes on in the Wasteland."
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: AI research goes pretty badly awry, and is hinted to have caused nuclear holocaust in the first place.
Line 48:
* [[Impassable Desert]]: In-map desert requires a canteen.
* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]: Usually averted. You can blow up or knock down virtually any door (including several that have [[Locked Door|key slots]], but can only be opened with explosives) and a lot of walls, and there are a good number of walls that can be climbed, too.
* [[In
* [[Late Character Syndrome]]: Mort, Ralf, and others.
* [[Locked Door]]
Line 54:
* [[Monsters Everywhere]]: The whole game, but especially Finster's wasteland.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] / [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: The bathtub girl in Paragraph 1, who exists only to remind players not to cheat by reading through the Paragraphs book.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]: Most enemy attacks knock you out, and you can get back up later (or even mid-combat).
* [[Only Smart People May Pass]]: Finster's virtual reality.
* [[Optional Sexual Encounter]]: The three-legged hooker.
Line 61:
* [[Railroading]]: Beautifully averted. While the car takes you from city to city and there are two locations that NPCs need to reveal, but otherwise, you are free to explore the whole map, returning to any earlier location you like and even trying farther ahead ones.
* [[Random Encounters]]: Everywhere.
* [[Regenerating Health]]: You can get back to full health by waiting. In some versions, when your entire party is unconscious, they may recover after a few minutes. However, if you are sick or became seriously wounded from combat, you must get medical treatment or die.
* [[RPGs Equal Combat]]: Somewhat averted. While most of your experience will come from combat, successfully using noncombat skills can earn experience as well. In at least one place this can be abused for [[Game Breaker|infinite experience]].
* [[Saving the World]]
