  • Most likely an unintentional example but when Polito sends you the first Cybernetic Modules she says they are hard to come by, immediately the next room you go to you can find 4 more Modules.
  • Hacking a replicator will reduce its prices and allow access to better items. The lone exception to this rule is in the movie theater lobby, where hacking the vending machine instead results in snack food that costs over 800 nanites.
  • The ending has The Big Bad offer to bargain with the Soldier after he defeats it by offering him even more power if he will join it, Darth Vader style. The look on SHODAN's face sells it.
    "Naah." *click* *BLAM*
  • In one voicemail, Delacroix mentions one time when Xerxes was hacked to sing Elvis Presley songs for 3 hours straight before his voice was pulled offline. Apparently, Elvis is still popular in 22th century.
  • In the mall on the recreation deck, Xerxes calmly announces that there there are 162 shopping days left until Christmas (in other words, it's June) and that working overtime twice a week will give a crewmember enough money, even though there is nobody left on board who is in any position to care about Christmas. Bear in mind that most of his announcements are about the ship's security system and the glory of The Many.
    • He will also announce a poem reading session and invite crew members (almost all of whom are, you know, dead by that point) to bring the approved pieces they would like to be read.
  • Irrational stated that Electronic Arts worriedly noted regarding the upside down chapel's cross: "Er. you probably haven’t realised, but there’s some upside down crucifixes here. Looks kinda Satanic!"
  • Most of the robot's Major Injury Underreaction can be pretty funny. The worker/fighter/military droids will say stuff like "malfunction" while the protocol droids just say "please don't do that" when you just shot them in the face.
  • There is a locked safe with a 5 digit code in deck 6. While the code doesn't appear to be written down anywhere in-game, it is 12345.
