* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: At the start of the game, BJ walks into the castle in a Nazi uniform with forged papers and a fake identity. As in ''New Order'' and ''New Colossus'' he's ''terrible'' at this kind of subterfuge, with a poor German accent, very little knowledge of his cover identity, and a tendency to respond awkwardly, but even with TheDragon there peering at him he's waved on through, Rudi Jäger thinking he was just joking about obvious American spies. Halfway through the game, BJ puts away his weapons, dons an apron, and picks up a tray of wine with which to get close to [[BigBad Helga von Schabbs]] - and Helga is immediately suspicious, questions him more closely, and correctly identifies him as an enemy agent. Her suspicions would have been roused by everything BJ did in the first half of the game and she's just a smarter and less complacent character than the Nazis who are usually fooled by his act.

Most of the inmates ignore B.J. entirely, but one mistakes him for a lost family member and grabs at him. B.J. pulls free of the man after a moment, far gentler than he is with enemies, and reminisces about an aunt who'd been diagnosed with dementia.

* ClarkesThirdLaw: While ''The Old Blood'' is at first glance a return to the {{Ghostapo}} elements that defined previous ''Wolfenstein'' titles, it's unclear if the paranormal events in the game are truly magical in nature or advanced, alchemical science. Yes, [[spoiler: there's a ZombieApocalypse in the latter half of the game, along with an EldritchAbomination boss you have to fight]], but it's also mentioned that King Otto's weapons were derived from "alchemical" science gleaned from parchments found in Istanbul, which are heavily implied to be [[spoiler: from the Da'at Yichud]], who are explicitly stated in the base game to be an ancient society of advanced engineers and scientists. Even [[spoiler: the mist that creates the ZombieApocalypse is said by one SS researcher to be a biochemical formula, not magic]]. Additionally, the [[spoiler:monstrosity you fight at the end has exposed metal plating, despite having been locked away since King Otto put it there]], further substantiating this theory.
