* AdaptedOut: As the original poem featured a large cast, not all of them could be included in the game. Some notable omitted characters from the poem include Geryon (a monster re-invented by Dante into fraud personified, cameoing in the game only as the statue holding [[spoiler: Francesco's]] boss arena), Odysseus/Ulysses (one of the only side characters mentioned in all three canticles), and Caius Cassius, Marcus Brutus, and Judas Iscariot (who are gnawed on by Satan in the poem, though the last is referred to by way of [[PublicDomainArtifact the thirty Silver Coins]] that can be found throughout the game).

** The lower circles get increasingly glossed over. The harpies, hellhounds, centaurs and Minotaur in the seventh circle don't appear, with only the latter two being represented by statues similar to Geryon. The eighth circle's Malebranche don't appear with the exception of their leader and Fraud's torments are also represented by statues. The different sub-regions of the ninth circle are skipped over entirely in favor of the imprisoned giants on its outer edge and a crumbling ice bridge that leads directly to Lucifer's prison in the center.



* BarbieDollAnatomy: Most damned souls don't have much in the way of anatomical detail. On the demons' side, Malacoda is just as naked as Lucifer, but doesn't have anything to see down there.

* ContinuitySnarl: The Dark Forest DLC, assuming it is even canonical to begin with, is supposed to take place after Dante's time in the Third Crusade and before arriving at his home. However, he has in his possession Beatrice's Cross and the ability to perform magic attacks, and he has some familiarity with Demons which he shouldn't have yet. Beatrice also appears in her ghostly form.

Beatrice also appears in her ghostly form. Beatrice's presence is the only part of it that even gets handwaved with the explanation that St. Lucia is intervening.



* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Downplayed. Many of the enemies you face are souls corrupted and transformed by their own sins post-damnation, though they're considered distinct from the actual demons..



* MorphWeapon: The scythe's blade is articulated to attack in multiple different ways while the handle can extend to grapple or spear things or retract until Dante can use it as an arm blade.



** Cleopatra, the boss of the Lust Circle, is also topless - on top of being a giant purple demoness with Unbaptized Infants crawling out of her nipples.
