** As a result of the mind hack Olga [[spoiler: becomes a terrorist, attacks a hospital and likely abandons the husband she's been convinced is dead.]] This is not explored and there are no ramifications for Nilin.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The game doesn't really explore the effects of memory alteration technology on society in much detail. We see the odd unresponsive junky hanging around, but because Nilin never interacts with a civilian (just villains and fellow errorists) we don't see in detail how normal people are abusing the ability to erase bad memories or share good ones (are they acting recklessly and erasing to avoid the repercussions? Losing motivation to achieve or experience when they can just get good experiences from others?).
** Likewise remixing memories is very questionable and poses all sorts of moral dilemmas (since it basically violates the target's free will) yet short of a little angsting from Nilin the ethical implications and dreadful consequences for the victims aren't explored. Remixes are just used to advance the plot and have only positive effects for Nilin, and we don't see the traumatic effects of forced personality changes on the victims.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Olga Sedova. A badass bounty hunter chick who would've killed Nilin in the first 30 minutes of the game had she not been remixed into becoming an ally. After that she shows up only twice to just give Nilin a ride to her destination. The fact that she was remixed could've potentially made some interesting conflicts later on by having her see the truth about David, and become an interesting boss fight.

Note that, when she goes to save Bad Request, she says, "I'm doing this for Bad, not for the cause", after she herself admits that the cause has won her sympathy after what she saw in La Bastille and in the slums.

* DesignatedHero: [[spoiler: Nilin is our hero, which is why she edits the memories of others for her own benefit, and helps a terrorist cell- pardon, ''errorist'' cell- cause a flood in a major city that kills and injures hundreds. That's not to say that she's any worse than any of the other characters, who range from cartoonishly evil to merely bitter, amoral, and wealthy, but it's fairly indicative that the only thing she ever feels any remorse for just happens to be the one memory remix that doesn't benefit her personally in any way.]]

**** [[spoiler: Ah - not ''quite'' true. There's a passing mention in a news broadcast after you remix Olga about an explosion on the hospital ship where he was staying. So David most likely is dead... because ''Olga killed him.'']]

*** [[spoiler: Oh, no. It's ''way'' worse than that. Destroying Edge only releases the memories stored in his servers back to their original orders. The memories that Nilin remixed were never discarded, they were only changed: Scylla's memory of the crash is going to remain altered...but everyone connected to the Reconversion project is going to remember exactly what happened, and it's not going to take very long before someone confronts Scylla about her sudden 180-degree personality change and her sudden chumminess with her daughter... y'know, the one she hated so much and so famously, she modeled a security system after it. She's not going to get her memory back, but she IS going to know Nilin tampered with her memories, leaving Scylla as mistrustful and angry at her daughter for a reason she doesn't even fully remember.]]

*** [[spoiler: The bounty hunter's husband isn't going to get his medical treatment. His wife thinks he's dead, and she's on the run from the law because of her involvement with the "errorists". Again, her memories were remixed, not discarded; she has no reason to make herself available for the hospital to contact her about her very much alive husband, who, without someone to pay his medical bills, is very likely going to die there.]]
*** [[spoiler: Edge flooded Neo-Paris and killed a sizeable number of people, many of them Leapers. Where did ''their'' discarded memories go after H30 was destroyed? We know that memories can't be erased or lost once recorded in the Sensen implants, only changed or moved; if they don't go to their original owners, they can really only end up in two places: other Sensen devices, or back into a data storage facility. The former means people remembering horrible things that never actually happened to them. The latter means Edge is resurrected; he came into being immediately after Nilin's memory of the crash was removed from her and put into storage.]]

** The end of the game involves [[spoiler: the destruction of the memory system, returning everyone to their previous state.]] This includes [[spoiler: Scylla, which means she's about to figure out that you remixed her and that her entire face turn was artificially imposed by you. Those vaguely touching moments of reconciliation are about to turn aggressively toxic.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: The ''entire premise''. Memories are what make us who we are, and there are people who can and ''will'' delete, implant, and outright warp your memories as they see fit. The worst part is that you will ''never know the difference''. Are your allies really your allies? Are your enemies really your enemies? Is your boyfriend ''really'' your boyfriend, or is he a "mixer" who didn't take it well when you turned him down? Is your best friend ''really'' your best friend, or is she a stranger who decided she needed something from you? ...Are ''you'' really who you think you are?
