Added a couple of new tropes/trope examples.


* {{Mecha}}: The Foe Reaper.



** There are also a few of these in other chapters, including [[Music/FleetwoodMac tripping a chain]], things working [[{{Music/U2}} with or without somebody]], a paraphrased version of the entire first verse of ''[[Music/PeterGabriel In Your Eyes]]'', and [[{{Music/Metallica}} nothing else mattering]], followed by numerous references to the artists in question.

Removed an unnecessary line.


''[[https://westfall.onrender.com Westfall]]'' is a VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft FanGame largely created by Wikikinetic for the purpose of adding MultipleEndings to the eponymous [=WoW=] zone. Originally posted in 2020, the game eventually covered most of the original zone's plot by 2024, as well as adding several [[StoryBranching branches]] where the player can get results that are much better than in the original zone...or much worse.

Removed a YMMV trope that I wasn't aware was one until I published the previous version of the page.


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Most of the characters have these to some degree.
** [[spoiler:Vanessa]] is visibly [[SoapboxSadie extremely passionate about her various causes at all times]].
** Gryan is fairly paranoid.
** Lou and Jimb are both secretly [[spoiler:former Stonemasons' Guild members with Stormwind and Defias connections]].
** Captain Alpert is [[GeniusDitz well-versed in history but a complete idiot otherwise]].

!! ''Westfall'' contains examples of:
*AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Most of the characters have these to some degree.
**[[spoiler:Vanessa]] is visibly [[SoapboxSadie extremely passionate about her various causes at all times]].
**Gryan is fairly paranoid.
**Lou and Jimb are both secretly [[spoiler:former Stonemasons' Guild members with Stormwind and Defias connections]].
**Captain Alpert is [[GeniusDitz well-versed in history but a complete idiot otherwise]].
*AmbiguouslyEvil: On certain paths, the player can be this.
*AnyoneCanDie: Many paths that the player can take involve killing off characters without much notice, important and unimportant alike. At least half of the cast can die depending on the player's actions (though usually not all on the same path).
*BreakingTheFourthWall: Captain Alpert outright states that a piece of in-game propaganda is a reference to [[Creator/KarlMarx the Communist Manifesto]], then goes on to ruminate on whether or not Creator/KarlMarx is a murloc before returning to giving the player exposition.
*TheDitz: Captain Alpert. Also Tina Skyden, though her ditziness is Downplayed in comparison to Alpert's.
*DeadpanSnarker: Private Jackson. Alpert is not amused.
-->'''Alpert''': Private Jackson, please keep your mouth closed while we discuss important matters of [[SeriousBusiness spelling]].
*DopeSlap: The player can do this to Laine after he cracks a joke about the Furlbrows' murder.
*DudeNotFunny: One possible reaction to the above joke (preceded by the above DopeSlap).
*EatingSolvesEverything: As [[EldritchAbomination C'Thun]], your only goal is to "huqth sknaus", which involves eating [[EatingTheEnemy someone]] or something [[ExtremeOmnivore improbable]].
*EatingTheEnemy: Again, as [[EatingSolvesEverything C'Thun]], the player is repeatedly encouraged to eat Laine.
*EldritchAbomination: C'Thun [[RunningGag again]].
*ExtremeOmnivore: [[OverlyLongGag Still]] [[EldritchAbomination C'Thun]].
*FakeDefector: The player, despite starting out allied with Stormwind, can [[spoiler:join (or just pretend to want to join) the Defias, then use the player's knowledge of the Defias gleaned from this to bring down the Defias and gain a victory for Stormwind]]. This can be Conversed with one of Alpert's men, who questions the player's loyalty to Stormwind, though this is promptly dismissed by Alpert as implausible.
*GeniusDitz: Captain Alpert. He knows enough history to brief the player on all kinds of things concerning the Defias and the like, but frequently can't remember said history and is otherwise a moron. This can be alluded to by Laine before the player even meets Alpert in the first place (or at all, depending on the player's choices).
*TheHeroDies: Many of the endings are this. One such ending [[Lampshading Lampshades]] this, informing the player of that the hero dies "again".
*KnightlySwordAndShield: The player utilizes both a sword and a shield for offense and defense. Zigzagged, however, as the player doesn't have to act knightly (but frequently can).
*LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The player has a shield and can use it to stave off otherwise-lethal attacks (as well as for [[ShieldBash bashing enemies]]).
*TheMole: [[spoiler:Jimb. He's secretly in league with the Defias and plotting to kill Lou, but you can go through the whole game without ever finding out.]]
*OnlySaneMan: Private Jackson in ''Southern Town of Idiocy''. Also Tina Skyden in that same chapter, though this is Downplayed what with her also being TheDitz.
*{{Pun}}: One ending concludes with the player "expiring". The button to restart the game is labelled "get a later expiration date".
*ScrewThisImOuttaHere: One of the earliest game endings involves the player getting fed up with Laine and leaving the zone entirely.
*ShieldBash: The player's shield can be used to knock enemies unconscious [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe while simultaneously defending them]].
*ShoutOut: ''Southern Town of Idiocy'' is full of these.
**One of the options when fighting the thugs in Moonbrook is "[[{{VideoGame/Hearthstone}} Hit them very hard.]]"
**In response to the player offering to go easy on them, the thugs may say that [[Music/LionelRichie nobody goes easy on them except on Sunday mornings.]]
**The player can also tell the thugs that [[Film/AttackOfTheClones they want to go home and rethink their lives.]]
**There are also a few of these in other chapters, including [[Music/FleetwoodMac tripping a chain]], things working [[{{Music/U2}} with or without somebody]], a paraphrased version of the entire first verse of ''[[Music/PeterGabriel In Your Eyes]]'', and [[{{Music/Metallica}} nothing else mattering]], followed by numerous references to the artists in question.
*SoapboxSadie: [[spoiler:Vanessa]]. Very, very frequently.
