* For Hero players, during the fight with Augustine on the island, when some D.U.P. soldiers storm the field after Augustine briefly flees. Almost no matter what you do, Delsin's attacks will dust whoever he hits with them in much the same way the Evil versions of his Smoke attacks would. It's a good, if horrifying, look at exactly how much Delsin is holding back under normal circumstances. Furthermore, if you somehow manage to knock down some of the soldiers and try to simply incapacitate them? NonstandardGameOver - Mission Failed. That's right - you aren't even ALLOWED to be a good guy for this one. [[UnstoppableRage Mr. Rowe is pissed,]] and when Mr. Rowe is pissed, ''[[KillEmAll no-one gets out alive.]]''

* The tribe relies on two people, one of them they're suffering to protect, to find the cure to their ailment, that [[BodyHorror they have ''concrete'' growing inside them]]. And if they fail or get captured, they're going to suffer a slow, agonising death.

* Try watching the beginning of the game again but in Reggie's POV. [[AdultFear Imagine what's going on in his mind while he watches his brother go head over heels over his power, slowly changing bit by bit...]]

** Then there's the horrifying revelation that [[spoiler: TheExtremistWasRight or at least the fact the US military had kill on sight orders for all Conduits. The DUP may actually be the lesser evil--that's still evil.]]

* The idea of having concrete growing inside of you is bad enough, but the concrete [[BodyHorror piercing organs and the flesh containing them]]? Plus, you can't even remove it. Simply put, you are doomed to have an anomalous, cold object perpetually stabbed in your body. [[spoiler: Turns out the only way it can come out is the same way it came in, so it was definitely fortunate Delsin had the ability to copy other Conduit's powers. So as you could probably tell, the Akomish do get better.]]

* The [[DownerEnding Evil Ending.]] [[spoiler: Delsin quite literally dives headfirst over the MoralEventHorizon when he's disowned by the Akomish, performing an Orbital Drop on them and killing them all.]]

* The Paper Trail DLC ''definitely'' has its moments - including one video you find on an extremist website that shows [[spoiler:a man being tied inside a garbage bag and beaten to death as he pleads for his life]]. Oh, and that's done with real actors, not video game characters made of pixels. ''Jesus.''

*** And don't forget the grossly unequal power dynamic of a white military leader torturing an entire tribe of Native Americans on their own reservation, which is supposed to be sovereign territory. Whatever she is allowed to do normally, Augustine shouldn't be able to exercise the same powers on Indian land.

* The life of a Conduit is nightmarish in itself. Manifesting powers at random and being possibly betrayed by your own families (i.e. the case with Fetch and her parents) to be hunted down and locked away like an animal while being experimented on by a legalized ruthless government agency.

* The DUP in general. You think our government is scary? Imagine a government agency who is basically given a carte blanche to torture a small town of people for information, can quarantine an entire city for three escaped criminals, and who can arrest and kill anyone without due process to be taken away for experiments that The Third Reich would be envious of. Combine that with the added horror of them having superpowers that they are perfectly willing to use against innocent people. And the best part is, thanks to the first game and the comics, they are not the only government agency that committed these crimes against humanity and have been so effective at subjugating their targets over the years that the government is considering shutting down the D.U.P. because it's done too good a job. ** Then there's the horrifying revelation that [[spoiler: TheExtremistWasRight or at least the fact the US military had kill on sight orders for all Conduits.

* The aftermath of Augustines' visit. People having concrete going through them, their organs, and even '''skulls'''. They will die unless somebody gets the stuff out. Something that cannot be done with surgery. And even if it was removed, the long-term damage is still horrifying. Even worse when it's all but stated she has been at this kind of torture for seven years already.

** It goes right into LackOfEmpathy... she doesn't really seem to comprehend just how many people she's hurting in her mad quest to keep everyone safe.

* Delsin's Conduit allies are pretty terrifying in their own right. One, Abigail Walker, is an emotionally damaged SerialKiller who Delsin first encounters after she leaves a body shrine of one of her victims as a warning and she's a dangerous LightningBruiser who can fire powerful laser blasts that can blow up whole convoys and incinerate human flesh. The fact she's voiced by Creator/LauraBailey only adds to the CuteAndPsycho vibe she gives off and she only gets worse if she is corrupted by the player choosing the Evil Route. On the other you have a bullied nerd who verges on being a RealityWarper and can summon pixelated angels and demons to kidnap and reign down destruction from the skies at will. If they go through the evil route, they become the very BewareTheSuperman symbols of Bioterrorist fear that the DUP were warning Conduits happen to be.

* [[TheSociopath Augustine's rampant sadism]] is absolutely ''chilling.'' Especially in that she has no filter as to who she will target.

** Delsin's laugh of joy from the newfound power doesn't help, evil karma or not. Another creepy laugh of joy occurs after he got shot by a Drug Dealer and finds out he has a fast regenerating power.
