* GameBreaker: Throwing Knives. If you're willing to be lethal, it's entirely possible and actually quite easy to go through the entire game on a handful of the little wonders. Totally silent, hideously accurate, one-hit-instant-kills on humans and heavy damaging on mutants, and reusable. On Ranger Hardcore, you get to carry ten as opposed to the normal five, making them even more broken.

The Dark Ones promised to return to the Metro after some time has passed, so they'd be more than able to deal with the Nazis after their leadership has fallen into dissarray at the loss most of their labor camps (Not to mention D6), the ensuing political chaos of the red stations, internal power struggles and revolutions, etc etc...That and the cutscene involving Anna implies she lived in a prosperous free station.]]

** Hunter was her mentor and it is safe to assume that she had a crush on him, judging by her reactions and some cut dialogue. Russian dub offers a bit more info on this. She gives Artyom a cold shoulder initially since he was indirectly responsible for Hunter's death, but then warms up to him when she sees Artyom in action and realises he is so much like Hunter.
** In addition the scene was supposed to be different, according to the devs. It happened because the voiceover recording and motion capture was done separately. Try listening to Anna's monologue while imagining her sitting on a bed with a ThousandYardStare.

One soldier during the middle of a conversation about storms, stops and wonders if his son even knows what a storm is. At the Theater station, an old man tries to put on a basic shadow puppet show for some children of animals such as birds, swans and elephants, but only one of the children recognizes them with all of the others thinking that they are mutants. Anna even flat out says that trains seem like magical things that their children will most likely not know how to use, and their grand children will probably think that they were built by the Gods.
