* The Academic sounds suitably bitter when describing the next region you go to, should you select it... and it's especially pronounced for the Sprawl. While it's kind of expected, considering he's an intellectual type, the way Wayne June delivers the line (especially the last part) makes it sound like his heart is shattering by watching a city that once worshipped history and knowledge being burned to cinders by the Fanatics. It almost feels like he's TryingNotToCry!

* While at an inn, some of your party members are positioned in their chairs in ways that really make it clear how much everything's taken a toll on them. It's most apparent with the Highwayman, who's leaning forward and holding his head as if suffering from a terrible headache, and the Flagellant, who looks completely exhausted and just leans back in his chair while staring up at the ceiling. Even before you get to the first inn, it's apparent that the Spreading Stain has had an effect on the party.

* The reveals about the Plague Doctor's past are both nightmarish and tragic. [[spoiler:She tried to reanimate the corpse of her professor who had just died, mostly as a way to show him off and to prove her theories were superior to his. However, her experience didn't go as planned. The entire thing takes place during a 'fight'. The first stage consists of the Plague Doctor trying, and failing, to restrain the reanimated professor to stitch his wounds while the latter spends all his time wailing in pain. She's even pleading with him to stay still. During the second stage, the Plague Doctor realizes she has no choice but [[MercyKill put him out of his misery]], while saying she's sorry and will end his suffering. She falls into a HeroicBSOD afterwards.]]
--> The shrieking was horrible, but the silence that followed... was even worse.
* The reason for the Vestal's [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny repressed]] attitude is given far more context here - and it's hard not to feel for her. [[spoiler:Junia was briefly distracted by a tryst in the garden outside the tower the abusive abbot of her monastery had kept her in, isolated from the world, her whole life, and the sacred fire running down resulted in him sealing her away to be tortured for ''years''. Though she later escaped, she later finds out [[AndYourLittleDogToo he also murdered her only friends, her fellow nuns, for her crime]]. Small wonder she represses her urges.]]
* It's revealed by the Runaway's personal story that [[spoiler: Bonnie ran away from an orphanage at a young age because her caretaker was a sadistic nun that continually branded her for small grievances. It's noted later on that she developed pyromania due to her trauma but she still found a kindly couple that took her in. Being that this is DarkestDungeon though this does not end well. The last two chapters reveal that young Bonnie accidentally set the house on fire and she tries to smother it only to make it worse. Bonnie escapes the burning house through a window only to discover in horror that ''her loving adopted parents are still inside and are screaming as they burn to death.'']]
* The Leper's past is just as painful as it seemed in the comic. [[spoiler:Baldwin was TheGoodKing, but was exposed to leprosy and became the pain-riddled DeathSeeker he is when giving comfort to a beggar over the objections of his DeadlyDecadentCourt. NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished.]]
