** References to Paul's duplicity can be found around this time too, as in Hell's Kitchen he urges JC to use a non-lethal approach, as well as giving UNATCO soldiers, supposedly his own men, non-lethal gas grenades to use agains the NSF.

** I believe that the attack referenced in the intro isn't the current attack where the terrorists stole the vaccine but the earlier one mentioned by multiple characters throughout the game, namely the bombing of the statue. This can be seen in the first level where the head and torch of the statue have been turned into a kind of memorial and it's even implied that it was the government that bombed the statue so they could use the island as a base for UNATCO.

** It's also possible that JC isn't actually READING the physical object, but rather seeing it's name, and basically Googling it to find choice passages and famous lines, in the same way that he can look at a newspaper but only read one article. Maybe JC's augmentations are showing him the most relevant, current, or important articles, and in terms of books, entire passages that may be fitting to the current moment, hence why looking at the same book again and again will only ever show one passage. JC isn't actually reading it, his augmentations have simply scanned the internet for a famous part to summarise it.

-->'''Walton Simmons:''' The secondary unit [[spoiler:(referring to JC Denton)]]should be online soon. He's currently undergoing preparations and will be operational within six months.
** Why is this Fride Logic? The idea is that six months pass between the intro and the first mission. This is further reinforced by Page mentioning that Simmons' appointment to FEMA will soon be finalised whereas in the game, he is already the head of FEMA.
** Not the original troper, but it doesn't make that much sense because... even if they want the secondary unit to take the Statue for them, why wait 6 months until he's activated? That means 6 months where UNACTO is essentially under siege (and thus [[spoiler: a Majestic 12 base as well]]).

* You may find the fact that the battles between the Triads in Hong Kong are often swordfights somewhat anachronistic and culturally cliched. Then you remember that the Hong Kong Police use highly efficient acoustic sensors on the streets that allow them to quickly detect gunfire, so of course the Triads would look for a quick, cheap alternative that allows them to continue their gang war.

** As mentioned before, the first level takes place right after the actual terrorist attack. Did six months dilate suddenly to six seconds, or did UNATCO seriously order their troops to hold back for six months, eager to give JC a chance to prove himself?
*** The terrorist attack at the beginning of the game is not the same event as the terrorist bombing of the statue. Indeed, the bombing is the reason for the formation of UNATCO.

* In VideoGame/DeusEx, what will normally incapacitate a mook will kill JC, at first I thought it was because they are lazy but I then realized that the UNATCO made it so that if he is incapcitated he activates a psuedo killswitch which will have himself self terminate if he is involuntarily incapacitated.

* In VideoGame/DeusEx, you always open to a particular section of a book, even when it's closed, and typically to the pages most pressing to current events, or the ones that are most [[ContemplateOurNavels contemplatitively philosophical.]] For example, behind the Clerk's desk in the 'Ton Hotel, there is a copy of G.K. Chesterton's ''The Man Who Was Thursday'', and you open to a discussion of political and philosophical anarchy. You might think "Well why do we open to that page instead of any particular other?" Because, being the [[GeniusBruiser erudite]] SuperSoldier that he is, JC opens directly to the section that interests him.

* Why does Walton Simons' voice always sound like he's five seconds away from falling asleep? As the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, he would of course want to have a reassuring voice, [[FalseReassurance false as that reassurance may be]].

* If you get through the Battery Park mission while killing very few people, Sam Carter rewards you... by giving you ammunition for a ''lethal'' weapon.
** He explicitly states that he gives you this kind of ammunition because having seen your behavior he can trust you to make the right call on how and ''if'' to use it.

** Also, the tear gas mentions about causing bronchitis, since the nano augs process certain things quicker. This also means it can directly affect JC and prolonged exposure can lead to death.

* In the beginning, Paul will scold you if you choose to mainly fight your way through Liberty Island, which makes sense as he's a firm believer in ThouShallNotKill. [[spoiler:It later makes even more sense because you realize those were ''his'' men you killed.]]
