* ATasteOfPower: An interesting example in that it happens relatively late in the game, as [[spoiler: Brad is force fed Joy by Buzzo, leading to a [[MushroomSamba hallucination sequence]] where [[DuelBoss Brad fights Sticky alone]]. Said fight has Brad amped up on Joy the whole time, dealing massive damage all the while. As such, said encounter ends up showing just what Joy is capable of if one was previously abstaining from it, and can tempt you into taking more, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration just like Brad’s deteriorating mental state and growing need of said drug]]]].
