Crosswicking new trope.


* TemporaryPartyMemberToVillain: Subverted: Roughly a third into the game, B.J. Blazkowicz, after retrieving the Thule Medallion for the Kreisau Circle, meets the Golden Sun trio, whose leader, Leonid Alexandrov, distrusts you from the beginning. After the seemingly death of Caroline Becker, the trio disappears. Aboard the Zeppelin in the climax, we learn that [[LesCollaborateurs Alexandrov was in league with the Nazis all along]], talking with BigBad Deathshead about how easy he did things for the regime, starting with intercepting B.J. at the beginning of the game. [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves Then he's promptly executed by Deathshead's second in command.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Several of the upgrades for the game's real world weapons are either nonsensical or at least incompatible with one another:
** The [=MP40=] can mount both a silencer and a recoil compensator, however the former works by trapping gasses escaping from the muzzle, the latter by venting them in a specific direction.
** The [=Kar98k=] was generally reloaded via stripper clips... except when a telescopic sight was mounted, as the scope[[note]]usually[[/note]] sat directly over the bolt and the stripper clip guide, blocking access to it. In game, both can be used at the same time, with the reload animation showing the clip inserted at an angle that wouldn't work in real life.
** All three of the game's basic firearms have a "Big Bore" upgrade. Not only does the description seem to conflate increasing the barrel diameter[[note]]i.e. actual bore size, allowing for a larger caliber bullet[[/note]] with increasing ''chamber'' size,[[note]]allowing for a longer cartridge[[/note]], but doing either would make the gun incompatible with standard ammunition... which BJ continues to have no trouble using even after buying said upgrades.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Within the Veil, specific colors are used to draw the player's attention or convey important information:
** Enemies glow yellow-green to make them stand out against the blue-green background, while enemies behind cover[[note]]should the player have the appropriate upgrade[[/note]] glow yellow-orange.
** Destructible objects like explosive barrels, weak spots on equipment or in the environment, and stone covers concealing Tomes of Power glow bright red.
** The player model will have a certain hue when specific Veil powers are active - yellow for Mire and red for Empower.
