* FridgeHorror: The game has an ArtisticLicenseChemistry scenario when Halligan gets knocked out by a medical substance as a test of proof, and then uses it to knock out the beggar. The substance? Medical ethanol. As said on the main page, the stuff tend to contain methanol and mere milliliters of it can blind or even kill a man. Not only did Halligan potentially do permanent damage to a random beggar on the streets just to rob him for a few quarters, he more than likely suffered some of those effects himself -- [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation and his severe spree of sociopathic assholery really begins after the testing incident.]]

** [[NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine The following dinner scene]] is also very odd in that while it's supposed to be a creepy, uncomfortable moment of Halligan being {{brainwashed|AndCrazy}} into [[ImAHumanitarian eating human flesh]] as indoctrination into The Circle, the scene's direction is ''way'' too casual and breezy to be disturbing. It also doesn't make very clear whether or not Halligan already begins the scene brainwashed, so him casually obliging with eating what he's being told is of cursed human flesh is [[MoodWhiplash really jarringly surreal]].

* RomanticPlotTumor: The romance between Halligan and Melanie is forced, to put it lightly. It rears its {{Narm}}-tastic head when as the two approach [[spoiler:the Twelve Bridges]], the game screeches to a halt with them standing outside to engage in a long and awkward {{Infodump}} about Melanie's personal history [[StrangledByTheRedString for very little reason.]] It reaches it's peak when Melanie's reaction to waking up from having been stabbed to death by Halligan is to give him a kiss.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Halligan is [[CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption railroaded to do some ethically questionable things in order to solve the puzzles throughout the game]], but the puzzle where he ''really'' crosses a line happens to be the final one: [[spoiler:stopping The Circle from completing their ritual, with the solution being to ''fatally stab Melanie'', breaking Serstan's vow to ensure that "nothing will happen to either [Halligan] or Melanie afterwards," initiating a geas and causing the neo-druids to vanish out of existence.

It's also been noted that based on the phrasing of the promise, Halligan likely could have stabbed himself and gotten the same results, or if he was really worried it wouldn't count if it was self-inflicted, he could've volunteered to have Melanie stab him, but neither of these is never presented as any kind of option.]]
