* During the climatic confrontation with Vordakai, Tristian will enact his betrayal. However, if you have encouraged him throughout the dungeon with Good-aligned dialogue, you can convince him to instead ''smash'' the Oculus of Abbadon and turn Vordakai's immortality against him in the process.
* In Pitax, with high enough Persuasion and some good evidence, you can extract promises from almost all of Irovetti's advisors (Stefano requires a Chaotic alignment) to help you when negotiations inevitably fall through. In this case, when he gives the order for his men to attack you, you are treated to the sight of ''every single one of them'' turning on him. Now ''that's'' a revolution.
