** Somewhat hilariously, the Combat stat is very unnecessary: with proper PCB upgrades to the Auto-9, and bringing along secondary weapons when needed, the bonus to damage provided by Combat is a nice bonus, but never required. Even the final boss of the game will be torn apart by a properly upgraded Auto-9 and zero points in Combat.

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Which stat it is [[ChangingGameplayPriorities shifts at the game progresses]].
** At the beginning of the game, ''Deduction'' is the best stat in the game. While it doesn't provide any combat bonuses, enemies at the beginning of the game won't be doing much damage and healing devices are plentiful. Conversely, upgrading Deduction grants a bonus to *all* experience earned, maxing out at a 50% bonus, and allows you to find hidden locations and safe codes.
** By midgame, ''Armor'' and ''Vitality'' become much more important. Enemies start inflicting more damage and showing up in greater numbers, so the ability to withstand their onslaughts becomes critical. Particularly, maxed out Armor allows you to clear out a particularly busy room by ''standing still'' and letting the enemy bullets deflect and take them out.
** In the endgame, ''Engineering'' becomes very useful for the bonuses to your PCB chips, allowing you to max out the capabilities of your Auto-9.

* TheGhost: Being [[Film/RoboCop1987 long dead]], Clarence Boddicker and his gang don't show up in the game and are never directly mentioned by name - even Emil, [[spoiler:whom the New Guy pretends to be related to under the alias of "Wendell Antonowsky"]]. But with the subject of Murphy's identity being a key part of the story, the events that led to Alex Murphy's death at their hands, which directly led to him being brought back as Robocop, are referred to repeatedly. Boddicker himself does show up for a split second as a hallucination during one of Robocop's glitches in the steel mill when Murphy walks past the location of his death and recalls being shot by him. Though the rest of them don't appear, the rest of Boddicker's gang can be heard audibly laughing in the background during the hallucination, Joe P. Cox's trademark high-pitched laughter the loudest of them.

"Wendell" proves himself to be EvilerThanThou when he hijacks Becker's [=UEDs=] for his own purposes to take over the city after the Old Man dies, but Becker's takeover of the company as acting CEO ends up leading to "Wendell's" downfall, as his entire budget to pay for his mercenary army came from the Afterlife project that Becker ordered shut down due to being too costly, leaving him at Murphy's mercy when the payment doesn't go through.]]

* DeathByIrony: In the ending, [[spoiler:the Old Man puts his brain in a Robocop 2 chassis, so he can continue to run the company...except that he's been reduced to nothing but feral snarls and brute force. For bonus points, his attempt to reach immortality (and other things) financially crippled OCP, and the fight with Murphy literally brings the whole building down, along with the actual company. For bonus bonus points, the endings have Murphy (who he created and liked) killing TOM, leaving TOM for dead in the collapsing building, or trying to save TOM...who pushes Murphy out of the way of falling debris, at the cost of his own life.]]

With an upgraded Auto-9 with full-auto, no recoil, and BottomlessMagazines upgrades, you can stunlock the boss for the entirety of its first phase just by shooting the nuclear symbol panel continuously.
