* While most of the [[CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption morally questionable]] stuff Manny has to do in the game is par for the course both for AdventureGames and the setting of the game in general, one moment in particular is very hard not to feel [[WhatTheHellPlayer really guilty]] about: in Year 2, Manny has to [[spoiler:drug one of Velasco's crewmembers, steal his identifications, and then hide them in an unidentified body in order to trick [[TheCoroner Membrillo]] into declaring him dead]]. Compared to the rest of the process, which is mostly comprised of [[CrowningMomentOfFunny comedy]], Velascos' reaction to the news is surprisingly sad. What's worse is that both Toto and Membrillo refer to the sailor as "one of your boys" when talking to Velasco, implying he was AFatherToHisMen.

** And it gets even worse when Manny discovers a clue she left for him at Toto Santos's scrimshaw parlor. Upon hearing her name, the normally antisocial Toto suddenly lights up and confirms that she visited him earlier. "Sweet girl. Like a daughter to me. Tell her Papa Toto says hello." Manny just goes "Oh, right", and the game never makes it clear whether or not Toto eventually found out the truth...

Many bereaved fans testified later that, before the blimp hit, Sanspoof... was in the lead.
