* DevelopersForesight: While it's hard to notice, Fetch actually has JigglePhysics that change depending on her outfit. The DUP outfit has none due to being combat armor, the flashback has almost unnoticeable movement due to having proper layers, and the Curdun Cay outfit features the most due to being pretty much glorified gym clothes.

* GuideDangIt: If, during the "Kingpin of Seattle" mission, you actually look for rooftop snipers when the game warns you that they're inbound, you will miss enemies in the alleyway below you and get a failure screen. Only after that wave below spawns in are the snipers up top actually there.

** During the final chase in the snowy mountains outside Curdun Cay, the game will prompt you to "Defeat the DUP." If you do, you're in for a heck of a fight. Or -- you can just run past them. The game seems to bluntly state that you must kill the DUP troops in the mountains but you absolutely don't and it's of course way easier to just avoid fighting them.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: A very subtle example, but in the brief cutscene after you run from the cops on the dock at the very beginning of the game, Fetch clearly has a stronger jump capability than you as the player do at that point in the game. Justified as this all takes place in the past relative to the scenes in Curdun Cay, so the actual unlocking of the power (in the first Arena assignment) as the player isn't at all when Fetch herself first acquired it.
