* A bit of a Meta example, but the community, especially in the [[UpdatedRerelease Delta version]]. Join any random squad, and chances are the very first thing you'll see is a group of complete strangers telling you how pleasant it is to meet you. Not to mention if you go down, there's always at least one person who will drop everything to revive your character, even if it puts themselves in danger.

* While the first two parts of Sanctuarium's side story is straight up NightmareFuel, the story ends on a much lighter and more uplifting note. [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes After Aegrus rescued Sympatha]] from the monsters, the formerly exiled assassin inspires Sympatha to regain her hope and idealism for not just the world, [[RouseauWasRight but for the best in others]]. Thanks to his words, Sympatha regains her resolve to rebuild Sanctuarium with other people who seek their help. The moral of Aegrus' speech: no matter how horrible the world is, never give up your ideals because they can inspire others to improve the rotten parts of life, while excessive nihilism and cynicism just inspire apathy. WorldOfCardboardSpeech, SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers, and WorldHalfFull perfectly describe his powerful words.]]

* The ending of "Child of a Monster". [[spoiler:It turns out Radux's Kobold mother attacked him (forcing him to kill her) not because she always hated him for being human, but because she knew that, as a Sorcerer, Radux would eventually be forced to hunt monsters, and so allowed him to kill her so he could be able to function in Avalon. Upon realizing that his mother truly did love him, to the point she was willing to die so he could have a better life, Radux is able to find peace and at least somewhat absolve himself of his guilt. The final image of the questline is of the Kobold transforming into a tree (as Kobolds do upon death) with a bright light shining down on it.]]
* The lore for the "Noah's Desert" area. A trader, lost in the desert and dying of starvation, chooses to let himself die rather than kill and eat his loyal pet camel. Even when the chalice appears before him and offers him a way to cross the desert in exchange for his camel, he refuses (One of the very rare cases of someone declining the chalice's offer). It is the camel who chooses to sacrifice himself, turning his own body into a ship in order to save his master. The camel then spends the rest of his life tirelessly helping his master cross the desert trade route, even when the cargo he is carrying is too much to bear, motivated purely by loyalty.
