History YMMV / TheSaboteur

* PolishedPort: The PC port on GOG.com has fixed various issues that were present on the original retail and Origin releases, allowing it to run above 720p and make proper use of multi-core systems. This verison also removes the infamous SecuROM copy protection.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Kurt Dierker]] first appears to be little more than an arrogant, racing rival to [[PlayerCharacter Sean Devlin]], merely hitting on Veronique and sabotaging Sean's car during a race. When Sean and his friend Jules plan to sabotage Dierker's own car in revenge, is it revealed that Dierker is actually an SS-Commandant for [[ThoseWackyNazis the Nazis]], overseeing the occupation in Paris, in charge of torturing and executing any suspected spies and political prisoners. Dierker has Sean and Jules captured and tortured, before coldly shooting Jules in the head in front of Sean. During this scene, Dierker shows himself to be a total {{sadist}}, fondly caressing various implements of torture. Dierker is said to [[FlayingAlive flay his torture victims alive]] when he's done with them; he is also in charge of the terror squads that are later set loose on Paris. It's discovered Dierker killed Jules to cover up the Nazi plot to create atomic weapons. When Sean wipes out the Nazi leadership and destroys their weapons factory, Dierker takes control of what's left of the Nazis before the people of Paris rise against them. When Sean tracks Dierker down to the Eiffel Tower, he witnesses Dierker forcing his men to kill themselves and each other and kills some of them himself for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him]].

** The Terror Squad, giant [[GasMaskMooks gasmasked]] {{super soldier}}s with immensely overpowered weapons. Towards the endgame, you'll see them a lot in areas still under Nazi control, sometimes only seeing a flash of their armbands or gas mask lenses before they tear you to shreds in seconds with a [[MoreDakka machinegun]], [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] or [[KillItWithFire flamethrower]] - choose your poison. To make matters worse, their voices are incredibly distorted (think of the Zombine from VideoGame/HalfLife2), making them sound like an alien monster rather than a human.

** Now just imagine that the mission Sean gets sending him sneaking into a French crypt to retrieve a mysterious glowing treasure from the Nazis is just Sean, all unwitting, recovering Napoleon's apple.
