* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/interviews/interview-alien-isolation-writers-will-porter-dion-lay/?page2 According to]] WordOfGod, Ricardo was oringally going get a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong while Amanda was in the RadioSilence of the signal-shielded APOLLO Core. Ricardo would only dimly recall what happened, and try to hide it from Amanda out of both self-denial and a desire not to worry her, only to die by ChestBurster at a critical moment late in the story. This was written out due to the writers realizing this would be a bit too brief a gestation cycle compared to what had been established in the films. [[spoiler: They did keep the part where Ricardo gets the FaceFullOfAlienWingWong, but moved it to the story beat where he would have oringally had the ChestBurster emerge, keeping his CharacterDeath effectively dramatic even if he [[ZombieInfectee did not technically "die"]] at that point.]]

* ShrugOfGod: [[spoiler: Whether Amanda had a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong or not while she was AllWebbedUp]] near the end of the game is kind of ambiguous.
