* JerkassWoobie: Princess Juanita, especially in ''Choice of Intrigue''. Yes, she's a jerk to you [[spoiler:and tries to become heir at your son's expense]], but given her status as TheUnfavorite ''and'' the fact that you basically wrecked her parents' marriage, it's hard to blame her.

* OneTrueThreesome: In ''Choice of Intrigues'', the PC feels that Adelita, the recent catch of the Monarch's eye, is threatening their position. The fanbase suggested this option, feeling that it wouldn't be out of character for [[TheHedonist the Monarch]] and that the PC could possibly find a way to spin it to their advantage.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: De Vega was a side character in the first game and barely appeared in the second, but his cool-headed cunning, affability to the PC, and value as a political ally endeared him to the fanbase. The creators caught on and upgraded him to a LoveInterest in the third game.

* TheWoobie: Torres in the first game is nothing but a MealTicket, and they're perfectly aware of it. If you have a good relationship with them but pursue the Monarch anyway, they'll sorrowfully wish you well, stating they never wanted to get in the way of your happiness. [[SubvertedTrope If you don't have a good relationship]], however, they're just a hypocrite.

** Marrying de Mendosa in the first game is a really bad move in terms of aquiring power or wealth, but by doing so you are [[TakeTheThirdOption openly defying your family, which sees you mostly as a tool to gain influence]]. Refusing to play the game of deception and simply going with the one you love is arguably more awesome than any of the [[GambitRoulette convoluted plans]] you can pull off.

** Speaking of which, [[spoiler:defeating Tomas can be awesome in a number of ways, but maybe the most awesome way to "defeat the spider in his own nest" is to go with de Mendosa's plan and have him killed by simple people with weapons you helped develop, murdering the Monarch by yourself and bringing the Kingdom to the new era of constitutional democracy]] This makes your character something of a GuileHero, instead of the regular MagnificentBastard which the game encourages you to be.
** All things considered, probably the most awesome thing you can do is ''not'' becoming the MagnificentBastard of any sort and averting BlackAndGrayMorality by maintaining IncorruptiblePurePureness over the course of all three games. It is quite difficult and arguably defeats the entire point of the game, but [[spoiler:preventing the Monarch from undergoing SanitySlippage]] is really rewarding.
