Both of these examples seem to be remnants of when Headscratchers were called It Just Bugs Me and often misused for complaining.


* Why does Immorgamsics arbitrarily rewrite peoples' memories in such a coherent and promiscuous fashion? Why does a banana make an acceptable lure for a fishing rod? Why does Dialla refuse to grab a rusty switch five minutes after punching through a brick wall with a pocket knife? Why doesn't Dialla just fucking shoot Whitey? Why? Why?! WHY?!
** Because Patrick Majewski is a tool?
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint To be fair, you can actually refuse to grab a rusty switch and THEN punch through a wall with a pocket knife.]]
* '''''EVERYTHING''''' about the plot bugs me. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis EVERY. FUCKING. THING.]]''' I don't know if there's a human equivalent of those [[LogicBomb logic bombs]] that [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk]] used to use on the Rogue AI of the Week, but if there is it's gotta be pretty damn close to this game.

** With the introduction of a memory altering serum, the whole trilogy essentially descends into solipsism at that point. We can't even be sure that the events of the first two games ever happened. Just roll with it.

** Likely, the intention was that Mickey quit the gang and took her with him, after which she lost her memory and believed she was an officer all along, then during the police raid she went undercover posing as a maid only to lose her memory again and believe she really was a maid. (Note how they show a shot of maid Dialla when [=McNeely=] says "Inserting a few".) Of course, this doesn't make the story any less of a mess.

** If she didn't, then as part of the police raiding the area, she should recognize Dan [=McNeely=]. But instead, she immediately trusts him as soon as they meet! Are we supposed to believe that she somehow missed the briefing on what the ''infamous murderer'' they're attempting to arrest looks like?

* There's two possibilities I see for the revelation in Escape: Either Dialla really ''was'' part of the Armor Gamsees (and took the Immorgamsics), or Dan was bullshitting her. Problem is, ''neither of these make sense:''
** If she did take the Immorgamsics, then ''her own men tied her up and left her in the corner.'' And it doesn't explain the maid outfit one bit, nor why Mickey greets her as his girlfriend and a fellow officer.
