Trope has been disambiguated. Removing ZCE.


* TakeThatUs:
** Adam on Caleston:
--> The whole experience felt like something straight out of a bad fantasy novel.
** "Singularity's a bitch, ain't it? Nothing like in the video games, where they just float like idiots."
** In chapter 41, Garrus wonders about "the strange critters out of some bad video game".

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* AnythingThatMoves: Not one of the most extreme examples, but Jane of the Deep Eyes casually propositions Garrus for some "[[InterspeciesRomance Cooldown Sex]]" after a mission.

The 'others', the [[{{Precursors}} Prometheans]] and the invading [[EldritchAbomination abominable eldritch force]], are based on VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei / VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} / VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} / Franchise/FinalFantasy / VideoGame/{{Warframe}} / {{Manga/Berserk}}. Your Mileage May Vary, but there's something to be said when your mind rebels whenever they show up. They're truly alien, and their mere presence enters in conflict with established facts and reveals weird things about the universe.

Cloning Blues has been renamed to Clone Angst and redefined to only be about people angsting about being a clone. Removing "clones exist" usage.


* CloningBlues: Given that cloning doesn't ''enhance'' the capabilities of a species, neither the Citadel nor the Alliance have any problem with it. However, their legal status is pretty horrible, with the foremost producer of human clones proudly calling itself "Sosamshin", after the Korean deity who created ''[[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman cattle]]''. And even then they have it easy over there; the UNAS has a ''shoot on sight'' policy.

** The Omar Drebin's first name is "Smuggler". The [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 canonical Drebin]] was an {{expy}} of the DX character with that title. WordOfGod [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/mass-effect-human-revolution.229001/page-200#post-9722633 directly confirmed]] that he IS that Smuggler.

* MegaCrossover: Of a sorts: the bulk of the continuity is set around the Deus Ex and Mass Effect universes, but there are elements from Atlus, Konami - like ''Franchise/MetalGear'' or ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'' - and Creator/SquareEnix series such as ''VideoGame/FrontMission'' and ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' [[FusionFic fused in and altered to fit]], creating an experience greater than the sum of its parts. There's enough other stuff combined in it too that sometimes, it feels less like a Mass Effect/Deus Ex crossover, and more like a crossover of those two franchises and everything else. However, [[spoiler:the [[WatsonianVersusDoylist in-universe reason]] there are so many [[ShoutOut/MassEffectHumanRevolution Shout Outs]] to 20th/21st century pop culture is that humanity was ''completely wiped out in [[VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar 2072]]'' and somehow re-created... by [[TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson a geek who filled in his gaps in real historical knowledge with plot elements from movies and video games]]. It's not really a megacrossover; everything that's not Deus Ex or Mass Effect is the creation of a geeky god]].

* ChainmailBikini: Invoked by Subject Zero in Interlude 3, who has a hardsuit cut down into a [[BareYourMidriff belly button-exposing]] corset. Her reasoning is simple: because her PsychicPowers render her immune to bullets, she doesn't really ''need'' the full body coverage, and the fact that their weapons are completely ineffective against a mostly-exposed girl utterly terrifies her opponents.

** Author notes at the end of a codex entry on the Liberation of Shanxi ([[CombatPragmatist which involved poisoned food, "pirate attacks", and other underhanded tactics]]) [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/mass-effect-human-revolution.229001/page-117#post-9292632 had this to say:]] "Yan Lo is meant to represent a sharp contrast to other Mass Effect crossover fanfics and how the Alliance handled Shanxi. While, for example, the GDI in Peptuck's {{FanFic/Renegade}} won the battle by the virtues of being badass and possessing overwhelming firepower, the Earth forces in this fic won by virtue of being COMPLETE AND UTTER BASTARDS".
