* AuthorsSavingThrow: Over the course of Second Edition, some of the DarkerAndEdgier story elements were downplayed or abolished, leading many players to fear that the setting will suffer from the same problem as [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons its competitor]] where the setting isn't in need of heroes because it's been sanitized so much. Paizo seems to have anticipated this response, because the Player Core in its introduction to each microregion states the local threats and corruption in no unclear terms when previously players had to dig for them themselves. Absalom for instance is noted to have both the glory and ''squalor'' of a major city, and it's said that its opportunity is built on a pile of corpses. Both things were true before, but never mentioned so explicitly, which affirms that regardless of what changes Paizo makes, the setting is still not as "clean" as it initially seemed, allowing each table to explore them in whatever way they feel is fitting for their table.

first come first served, do not change Commonwealth spellings to American ones and paladins were renamed to champions for a completely different reason long before the remaster

This included changing many gameplay mechanics and names to avoid anything that could be seen as a target for WOTC to pursue legal action against them, such as changing the name of paladin's to champion's, or changing ancestries like Aasimar or Tiefling into a single category called Nephilim. The drow in particular got it in the shorts and were ejected from the setting entirely in favor of expanding the role of the serpentfolk.

* CastFullOfGay: ''Lost Omens: Grand Bazaar'' describes various shops in Absalom's main marketplace, and each shopkeeper is given a two-page writeup about their history and how they run their shop. Of the shopkeepers described, just a little over half of them are LGBT in some capacity. Considering that ''Grand Bazaar'' had many contributing writers and Paizo has a well-known LGBTFanbase, this is likely an amusing coincidence rather than anything intentional.
