History Funny / Tyranny

** You can also ask about how he... [[UnusualEuphemism enjoys himself]] while unable to remove said armor, causing him to become flabbergasted and Verse to run for the BrainBleach - which makes a lot more sense when you learn that [[spoiler: they're actually half-siblings through their father]].
--->'''Barik''': If you ever think me frustrated or disagreeable, just imagine what I've dealt with since the third year of the conquest. Or more accurately, [[ADateWithRosiePalms haven't dealt with]].

* When you first start out, you're told you have 8 days to squash the rebellion. Since Kyros' day of Swords is a specific date that comes once a year, and the Edict doesn't specify a year, waiting past that day to read the Edict (which triggers it) means you then have a full year to fulfill it. Yes, you can exploit the system by slacking off for 8 days. Many people have assumed it was a bug at first, but it's actually a feature. [[spoiler:And it is, in fact, ''the'' weakness in Kyros' Edicts and how you get to defy Kyros.]]

** If you '''glare silently''' often enough, others will notice. Eb tries mimicking you, and you can respond with advice, admonishment, or '''glare silently'''. And in the "Final Judgement" mission, [[spoiler:'''Tunon''' will ask why you keep doing this. It doesn't really have any bearing on the trial -- he's just that curious.]]
*** ''Bastard's Wound'' added to the hilarity by letting you answer that you learned to do it from observing him. [[spoiler:Tunon's]] [[IResembleThatRemark response is a]] DeathGlare.
** At the very end of Act II, this gets taken to its logical conclusion during your conversation-meditation with [[spoiler:the Mountain Spire.]] Note that the other options are Athletics and Lore checks to assert your will, or to just let the magic take over. This works just as well.
--->'''Option 3:''' [Glare at [[spoiler:the Spire]] and become one with the silence.]

* You can convince a being of pure logic and justice via LogicBomb that you were following the will of the Overlord by [[spoiler:rebelling against their authority, subverting their WMD magic spells, killing and/or vassalizing some of their most powerful Archons, setting yourself up as Lord of the southern realms, and murdering *heaps* of their soldiers.]] Tunon will note this "in defiance of all expectation and reason."

** Your encounter with [[spoiler:The Voices of Nerat]] (or rather your acid trip of Lantry's memories about them) in the same quest is similarly hilarious, [[MediumAwareness because they're aware they're your hallucinations]]. The whole conversation with them becomes an example of InUniverse Meta.

* At the end of Act II, when [[spoiler:the Mountain Spire fully awakens to you]], the game describes the experience as "a sound like music... [but] painful and disharmonious to your ears". If Sirin is in your party, she interrupts this awe-inspiring moment to give her own opinion:
-->'''Sirin:''' Well, this is shit! You'd think [[spoiler:a Spire]] would know some better songs, but I guess there's no accounting for taste."

--->'''D.C. Douglas''': ''[as Lantry]'' "Scholars hypothesize the Scourges are born of magic. The Oldwalls and their--" [[NoPronunciationGuide Ooh, shit. Crech? Creché?]] ''[voice direction corrects]'' Crèche? Crèche. Somebody’s gone to school... [[SelfDeprecation it wasn’t the actor.]]\\

'''Hunter:''' \\

** And after Lantry has succeeded in boring the Fatebinder to death, he complains that his voice needs some rest.

** The 'correct' way to solve the quest also qualifies -- suggest they fight an honour duel to settle the matter. The ''winner'' of the duel is the one who should be the most ashamed, for daring to go all-out on a comrade protected by Kyros' Peace.

* You can convince a being of pure logic and justice via LogicBomb that you were following the will of the Overlord by [[spoiler:rebelling against their authority, subverting their WMD magic spells, killing and/or vassalizing some of their most powerful archons, setting yourself up as Lord of the southern realms, and murdering *heaps* of their soldiers.]] Tunon will note this "in defiance of all expectation and reason."

* One of the disputes you can settle in Disfavored-controlled Lathien's Crossing is absurd to the point of hilarity. Two Disfavored soldiers insist that they brought shame on the legion through their actions but insist that one of them should take the worst blame. Their initial accounts are indeed damning, but if you let them talk, they will try to one-up each other, each story more ridiculous than the last, culminating in one of them claiming to have ''[[DeadBabyComedy thrown a baby]]'' at their assailants to slow them down. At this point, the Fatebinder asks them to stop... or suggest that they fuck to clear the UST between them. And then can express pity for their [[SurroundedByIdiots commanding officer]].

* The name of Lantry's otherwise fairly serious second companion quest in "Bastard's Wound" is "Annal Sects".

* If you take the Rebel path, sooner or later you'll return to Ascension Hall to find Tarkis Arri and one of your newly won allies in a spat. If you choose to tell Tarkis that you left her in charge to keep the Coalition in order, Barik will chime in that the entire Coalition needs a good whipping into shape. Sirin (if she's in your party with him) will then wonder aloud [[BondageIsBad if Barik enjoys that kind of stuff]]. You're then allowed to join in on her side, causing both Barik (and Verse, if she's in your party) [[BrainBleach to get extremely discomfortable]].

--->'''Eb:''' ... the world would be at the mercy of my depravity, cursing the name of Eb, Archon of fecund luids.
