8	!!This game provides examples of:
9
10	* AdaptationDistillation: Just about everything from the movie and a lot of stuff from the book, which the movie cut, is here. This includes Eragon's fight with Arya.
11	* BigDamnHeroes: Eragon saves Brom several times, including a Ra'zaac attacking Brom. Saphira saves them both quite a bit. The first three Saphira levels are her BigDamnHeroes Moments. Brom [[spoiler: jumps in front of an attack Durza is doing, which [[HeroicSacrifice kills him]].]]
12	* ChekhovsGun: There is a [[spoiler: magic statue]] in Carvahall. Of course players who don't know what it is (read: just about everyone on their first playthrough) [[GuideDangIt will soon forget about it]].
13	%%* DiskOneNuke: The Bow and Arrow, because of the fact that you see enemies long before they see you.
14	* DoomedHometown: More like doomed home. Your house gets burned.
15	%%* DualWielding: Level up Za'raac enough and Eragon [[spoiler: gets his dagger back]].
16	%%* FakeDifficulty: The fight against Durza riding beast.
17	%%* FirstTown: Carvahall.
18	%%* FetchQuest: Literally every SideQuest!
19	%%* FlunkyBoss: The second Kull you face sends ravens to attack you.
20	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The same attack of Durza's that [[spoiler:kills Brom]] only deals 10 damage to Eragon.
21	%%* HopelessBossFight: Arya.
22	%%* {{Jerkass}}: The twins.
23	%%* NoobCave: The Spine. It only has wolves.
24	%%* OneHitPointWonder: Eragon in the beginning.
25	%%* PermanentlyMissableContent: Hadarac Desert.
26	%%* PuzzleBoss: The Ra'zaac.
27	* SamusIsAGirl: Eragon doesn't find out Saphira's gender until he kills his first Kull.
28	%%* SceneryPorn: Quite a bit for a licensed game.
29	* SheatheYourSword: Played with. When Farthen Dur is under attack, to advance in the game you have to run away.
30	%%* ShiftingSandLand: Hadarac Desert.
31	%%* ShipTease: Eragon and Katrina. No really.
32	%%* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Averted with Rocky Pass.

36	%%* TheLoad: Brom
37	%%* TheWarSequence: The Entrance To Trojeheim.
38	%%* TheWorfEffect: Brom.

41	%%* UselessUsefulSpell: Telekinesis, Harden, and Dark Mist.
42	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can shoot squirrels to kill them. You can also shoot the chickens in Therinsford. [[spoiler: They explode]].
43	%%* WelcomeToCorneria: The only other thing [=NPCs=] do is send you on fetch quests.
44	%%* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Bava, after gathering her Urgal sashes.
