Not every protagonist sleeps the same amount. Put Trevor to bed and the clock jumps forward a full twelve hours, Franklin only needs eight, while Michael gets away with just six hours before he's back on his feet. It's a small detail, but it quietly reinforces each character's personality without a single line of dialogue.
When the Prydwen makes its dramatic entrance over the Commonwealth, Nick Valentine will recite 'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing...' if he's travelling with you - a line lifted straight from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Good bit of atmosphere for a giant airship showing up out of nowhere.
Gollum's left earlobe is missing entirely, and it wasn't a deliberate design choice. A casting mold made for Peter Jackson's approval got an air bubble right where the lobe should be, and the team just decided to keep it that way.
The shot everyone remembers, Miles stepping off the building and finally trusting himself as he swings off into the city, was there from the very first draft of the script. It never got rewritten out or reworked into something else, it just stayed the emotional center of the whole movie and became the backbone of the marketing too.
Rockstar's own pitch for the story leans hard into Bonnie and Clyde territory: Jason and Lucia know the odds have always been against them, and when a simple job goes sideways they end up tangled in a criminal conspiracy across Leonida, with only each other to rely on to survive it.
Early on, Genji and Hanzo weren't two brothers at all — they were a single cyborg ninja hero with a big grab-bag of tricks. Devs realised that was way too much character crammed into one kit, so they split it into two, and honestly the brother rivalry angle works a lot better than one guy trying to do everything.
Series composer Yuki Hayashi is apparently something of a dog person, to the point where interviewers and photographers note he'll almost always have one of his dogs with him whenever he's being profiled or photographed.
During episode seven of season two, while Ekko is wandering through the alternate universe, there's a carnival game in the background with a spinning wheel painted with real esports team logos, including T1, Gen.G and Fnatic. Blink and you'll genuinely miss it.
