* The [[GondorCallsForAid "Shield of Civilization"]] gives an unintentional one for the entire ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' franchise. In a nightmarish world defined by [[ForeverWar perpetual and]] [[SillyReasonForWar often senseless]] conflict, it's not only possible that the various civilised peoples can come together to beat back the End Times, but it's possible (even after the developers patched it) that the alliances formed would ''last long after the threat has passed''. TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople, indeed.

* The lore regarding Bretonnia makes it abundantly clear just how poorly the peasants are treated by their erstwhile lords; [[ButtMonkey it's rare to read a paragraph mentioning the peasantry where they aren't abused in some way]]. Yet should you actually play as Bretonnia, you can [[VideoGameCaringPotential go out of your way to protect them in battle, side with them whenever a civic decision pops up, provide almshouses and better tools throughout your kingdom, or even shell out several thousand gold out of charity]]. In a setting where [[ChivalricRomance the Arthurian Ideal]] is [[Main/{{Deconstruction}} depicted as a hypocritical farce]], you are given free reign [[KnightInShiningArmor to be every bit as noble and chivalrous as the legends say]].

* In a similar vein to Vlad and Isabella, let's have a big ol' "awwwww!" for Skarsnik and Gobbla. Setting aside the fact that the former is an unspeakably devious and brutal Night Goblin warlord, and the latter is basically a rabid ball of teeth and hatred with a stomach attached, their story is undeniably sweet. When Skarsnik was just a runt, he saved Gobbla - much the same - from being abused by some other gobbos. Remember: Night Goblins are reviled [[EvenEvilHasStandards even among other goblins]] for being especially cruel and vicious, always willing to torture and abuse. But Skarsnik ''helped'' another living thing, and when Gobbla met him again years later, ''he remembered him''. They've been inseparable ever since, and it's pretty explicit that they are friends, not just pet and owner. Gobbla even ''licks Skarsnik's face'' in their map animation! Given their species', they shouldn't even be '''capable''' of that much empathy for each other, but there they are, best buds without any hidden agenda.

* When Total War: Warhammer II was released, some fans noticed a unique hero would pop up when playing as he High Elves and building a new army: Alastar, The White Lion. This character has a unique model, powerful anti-infantry attacks, and a completely unique skill tree compared to all the other High Elf Lords a player can hire, but wasn't in any of the promotional materials for the game. When asked where he came from, CA revealed Alastar was a unique addition for a fan who visited their studio as part of the MakeAWishFoundation. They decided on a whim to make a character for this TW fan and put him in the game!

* In a setting where everyone is running on adrenaline in a [[DarkerAndEdgier grimdark]] [[CrapsackWorld crapsack]] and cynical world, naturally the only love story could come from two characters who are [[VampireTropes literally dead inside.]] Against all odds, Vlad and Isabella von Carstein are [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes truly in love]] and have a deeply loving [[UnholyMatrimony centuries long marriage]] (filled with the slaughtering of thousands). Not only does their love form the basis for their sub-faction (the von Carstein campaign is for Vlad and Isabella to take back their lands and to get back at the usurper who betrayed them), provides actual [[BattleCouple combat benefits]], and is constantly a focus in Isabella's [[BattleCry Battle Cries]] ("For my own husband!" and "Love eternal!" to name a few); but those who know their tragic fate in the official Warhammer canon realize they are actually in a [[SparedByTheAdaptation much better place]] in Total War: Warhammer. Even if it's not obvious from Vlad's constant scowl, they are ''very'' happy to be together again.

* In a setting where everyone is running on adrenaline in a [[DarkerAndEdgier grimdark]] [[CrapsackWorld crapsack]] and cynical world, naturally the only love story could come from two characters who are [[VampireTropes literally dead inside.]] Against all odds, Vlad and Isabella von Carstein are [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes truly deeply in love]] and have a happy centuries long [[UnholyMatrimony marriage]] (filled with the slaughtering of thousands). Not only does their love form the basis for their sub-faction (the von Carstein campaign is for Vlad and Isabella to take back their lands and to get back at the usurper who betrayed them), and provide actual [[BattleCouple combat benefits]]; but those who know their tragic fate in the official Warhammer canon realize they are actually in a much [[SparedByTheAdaptation better place]] in Total War: Warhammer. Suffice to say, they are "very" ''very'' happy to be together with their beloved again.

* The lore regarding Bretonnia makes it abundantly clear just how poorly the peasants are treated by their erstwhile lords; [[ButtMonkey it's rare to read a paragraph mentioning the peasantry where they aren't abused in some way]]. Yet should you actually play as Bretonnia, you can [[VideoGameCaringPotential go out of your way to protect them in battle, side with them whenever a civic decision pops up, provide almshouses and better tools throughout your kingdom, or even shell out several thousand gold out of charity]]. In a setting where [[ChivalricRomance the Arthurian Ideal]] is [[Deconstruction depicted as a hypocritical farce]], you are given free reign [[KnightInShiningArmor to be every bit as noble and chivalrous as the legends say]].

* The [[GondorCallsForAid "Shield of Civilization"]] gives an unintentional one for the entire ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' franchise. In a nightmarish world defined by [[ForeverWar perpetual and]] [[SillyReasonForWar often senseless]] conflict, it's not only possible that the various civilised peoples can come together to beat back the End Times, but it's possible (even after the developers patched it) that the alliances formed would ''last long after the threat has passed''. TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople, indeed.

* The game gives you the opportunity to take one of the most infamous examples of the CrapsackWorld trope ever conceived, and through your leadership and determination, [[EarnYourHappyEnding turn it into a far better place to live]] (assuming you play the right faction, IE Empire or Dwarfs).
