11	!!Tropes in this game include:
12	* AddressingThePlayer: [=NPCs=] refer to you by name in cut scenes.
13	* ArtificialAtmosphericActions: The [[AllianceMeter lawful]] [=NPCs=] are programmed to attack "outlaw" [=NPCs=]. Thus, the peasant in the Callaheim backstreets fights off level 17 Ruffians.
14	* AngelsDevilsAndSquid: Merificus is a devil, Elenroh's (arguably) an angel, and whatever the dragons are, they aren't traditional.
15	* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: No matter how [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute cute]] the sewer rats are, you MUST kill them.
16	* InUniverseGameClock: The day/night timing includes "days". Certain characters only appear once you have reached a certain "day".
17	* NoobCave: Timber's Bend. There's a wall.
18	* RunDontWalk: Due to the size of the d-pad, it is nearly impossible to walk. But it works somehow.
19	* SetAMookToKillAMook: As mentioned above, Lawful [=NPCs=] attack Outlaw [=NPCs=]. Therefore comes "guard baiting" in which low-level players lure higher-level monsters to a City Guard NPC in order to get them to fight (and drop loot).
20	* PlayableEpilogue: After you finish the main story, you can run around killing random stuff and continue your "destiny"
21	* PurelyAestheticGender: No matter whether you are female or male, you are always called "sir".
22	* TechDemoGame: The graphics are so [[VideoGame/InfinityBlade advanced for its platform]].
23	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: For starters, you can [[ShootTheDog kill Feskers the dog]] in the first NoobCave, and then you can kill the child that owns him. To avert this later in the game, HideYourChildren occurs.
