| 1 | * AntiClimaxBoss: ''VideoGame/UltimaI'' ends with the player facing Mondain. ''VideoGame/UltimaII'' ends with the player facing Minax and her army of monsters. This game ends with the player facing... some floor tiles. That's right, you don't even get to fight [[BigBad Exodus]] -- he turns out to just a machine that doesn't attack and is defeated by inserting punch cards into it. It's made especially anticlimactic by the fact he was hyped up as a demonic abomination by the manual and the box art, and was given enough importance to have the game named after him. |
| 2 | ** The manual for [[VideoGame/UltimaIV the sequel]] attempted to make it sound more epic than it actually was in-game by describing the battle as "The very walls of the castle rose up against them". |
| 3 | * GeniusBonus: It may seem weird that the combination of thieving skills and magic is alchemy. Medieval attitudes towards alchemists were that most of them were conmen who claimed to have ways to make people rich or cure illness. Even the legitimate ones were considered to be bad news because their stated goals (transmutation of materials and immortality) were considered to be against God; Dante placed all alchemists in the same area of Hell as forgers. |
