* JoinOrDie: Initially, One of the BigBad's CoDragons in ''Aquanox 2'' accidentally exposed his involvement with the mysterious attack on the Harvester earlier in the game by offering Drake a WeCanRuleTogether. He later extends this offer to Drake again and promises that they will leave the rest of his crew alone if he complies, but also makes it clear that refusal will lead to Drake and the others being massacred. [[spoiler: The BigBad herself gives this offer again later on in the game, but doesn't even bother to be nice about it at this point.]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Two thirds into ''Aquanox 2'', [[LoveInterest Angelina]] is seemingly killed by Queen Strega during one of her attacks on the Harvester. She remains this way until the middle of the FinalBoss battle, where she suddenly arrives to aid Drake in his showdown with Strega. Turns out she had used the opportunity to pull a FakingTheDead, both to gain an edge over Strega at a critical moment, but also because the prophecy stated that only a man with great sorrow in his heart could find the "Angel's Tears". This way that part of the prophecy could be fulfilled without her having to actually die.]]

* DrivesLikeCrazy: One side mission in ''Aquanox 2'' has you escorting Freeman, one of Stoney's friends, who stole one of the subs of the first game's protagonist Emerald Flint. Problem is that he hasn't quite gotten the hang of the controls yet and drives around like he's drunk as a result. His in-game movement reflects this, making quite a lot of unnecessary swerves and turns.

* SadisticChoice: Legendary pirate captain Juan Garcia Lopez is said to have once plundered a civilian transport ship, flooded it halfway and then gave the people on board a choice: kill each other or everyone dies; those who survive he will let live. Faced with a choice like that, friends killed friends in desperation, siblings killed siblings and [[OffingTheOffspring one mother supposedly killed her seven year old child]]. It is left unclear if any of them did survive. After all, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone who would still want to live after doing something like that?]]
