Insufferable Genius: Nathalie is one of these of the magical variety.
Once again, a PC of any class can be either male or female. The Warborn mixes it up with the allies: the female blademaster and sorcerer return from previous installments, and of the new characters, the tinkermage is female and the shaman and shadowwalker are male.The Corruption allows all classes to be of either gender and, in an inversion of the trope, puts the player's female allies in the front-line combat roles.In The Black Fortress, the melee-focused Blademasters and Shadowwalkers are all male while the magic-focused Shamans and Sorceresses are all female.Guide Dang It!: As usual for Spiderweb, a lot of stats have effects that aren't fully explained in-game.It's the south that has the Horny Vikings raiders, the blasted wasteland of weird magic, and The Horde of wretches, ogres, and titans. Grim Up North: Inverted - the northern Farlands are a Vestigial Empire and a collection of former Barbarian Tribe groups undergoing urbanization.Gratuitous Ninja: It's pretty clear right off the bat what the 'Shadow Walker' class is based on-one of his earliest spells is basically a smokebomb.But poke around in the catacombs and you'll see exactly how far he'll go in making examples of those who tried to bring him down Redbeard is, in fact, a friendly guy as long as you don't annoy him. Good Is Not Nice: Zig-zagged if you agree that Redbeard and Avadon are doing the right thing.(And yes, that's pretty much how he phrases it.) Earn enough points, and he'll eventually flee, leaving his flunkies to die. Flunky Boss: Zhossa Mindtaker never attacks you directly during his first fight, instead calling it a 'game'-you earn a point every time you drop a flunky's HP to 1 and force him to heal it, he'll earn a point if his flunkies kill you and he devours your corpse.Shamans are something else entirely, but the lore would have it that they're quite rare (not that this stops you from playing as one.) Fighter, Mage, Thief: The standard varieties of Hand.If he's in your party when you're in Goldcrag and you try talking to a Holklandan mage in the inn, she'll refuse to speak to you due to your relationship with 'the Banished One'. You can press anybody about any random mark that catches the PC's eye to the point of embarrassment. Every Scar Has a Story: The PC believes this, at least.Mustering the action economy to shut down the proliferation of enemies is key in this fight. The large swarms of bats he summons are bad enough, but he also summons drakes, which are themselves capable of summoning more monsters. Enemy Summoner: The ogre chief in the third game.However, dialogue for meeting her in Zephyrine's lair exists. She never actually does so, even when you leave and return to the Kva. Dummied Out: In the first game, a mage in Goldcrag says she will visit the new dragon on the block (Zephyrine), after you complete her quest.Dark Fantasy: In terms of background and overall story arc, though it's got too much of a sense of humor to fully fit the category.Damage-Sponge Boss: Redbeard in the Rebel ending, to the point that many players have criticized it.Convection Shmonvection: Lava is simply impassable terrain, and won't harm you if you get near to it.She constantly talks about being 'on the hunt' and sees most of the boss enemies as worthy foes. And then there's what happens if you side with Heart Miranda at the end. Beware the Nice Ones: Redbeard is shown to be a jovial sort, but if you tell him of Lord Deathskull's offer of an alliance, he'll get quite pissed at you for 'wasting his time'.The intro even gives you a very detailed look at it. Your resources are unlimited, and your word is law. You fight in the shadows, rooting out small threats before they have the chance to grow. The warriors and spies of Avadon are charged to keep them at bay, weak and divided. Outside the lands of the Pact, there are limitless threats. The purpose of the Pact: To hold back the waves of invaders that seek to destroy you. Your job is to protect the Pact, five nations that have banded together in a fragile alliance.
