Added DiffLines:

* WarriorVersusSorcerer: Very interestingly averted. As far as the Kenget Kamulos are concerned, they are ''all'' warriors, and sorcerers are just a better kind of warrior. After all, who is the better fighter, the one who can run up to you and cut your head off with a sword, or the one that can turn you to ash with his bare hands from a football field away?

* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:Subverted; they're actually from Earth.]]



* SpiritualSuccessor: To Thalion Software's obscure Amiga role-playing games, Amberstar and Ambermoon, which uses a similar mix of isometric and 3D gameplay. Albion was developed by many of the same developers after Thalion closed its doors.

* KleptomaniacHero: And how. The game is loaded with all manner of totally useless items that [[VendorTrash you can't even sell]]. You can however fill up your inventory with an endless supply of plates, forks, and drinking cups.

* ScienceIsBad / ScienceIsWrong: Related to the religion issue above and its MagicVersusScience theme. The Enlightened spend most of their expository speech dissing logic and science; you may just dismiss it as a case of {{Unreliable Narrator}}s, but the game's GreenAesop seems to point otherwise.

* ShopFodder: Averting the MoneySpider; everything drops exactly what's logical, and even the monstrous animals you can grind in the wilderness [[OrganDrops drop body parts]] that they're mentioned as being hunted for and that can be sold. The Kenget Kamulos drop so much equipment that you can't carry a tenth of it, but if you take the most valuable items, the amount you can carry can be sold for so much money that you can't carry ''that''.

Per TRS, this was merged into Unintentionally Unwinnable.


* UnwinnableByMistake: Do NOT strike the finishing blow to Kamulos with Sira's Fungification spell (which would dissolve him) or he won't leave a vital item!

** Except for the first boss, who's nursed back on his feet later. That doesn't mean you don't get to take his equipment though (which includes one of the more decent weapons in the game). Just make sure he doesn't run away before you can non-lethally kill him, though.
