* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to Troy Baker, the game originally had a darker and more intense ending; when Irons disables Gideon and Mitchell's exosuits, he tells them every movement needs a martyr and then commits suicide by using his control of Mitchell's prosthetic arm to make Mitchell shoot him in the head. Ultimately, the developers decided that ending was unpublishable, and instead went with a more Hollywood ending in which Mitchell drops Irons off the top of a building after a witty one-liner.

* BeamMeUpScotty: After allegations that Creator/KevinSpacey sexually assaulted multiple other males (including underage boys) broke in late 2017, a screencap of his character Jonathan Irons talking about a "great junior high" circulated around the Internet. However, this line never actually appears in the game, and the "subtitles" were almost certainly added to the screencap as a very dark joke.
