** If Yrsa wound up [[NeverFoundTheBody missing]] in the first game after setting a forest fire, she turns up at Ormsdalr.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler:The Horseborn launch an invasion of the kingdom of men during the battle between Meinolf and Rogga. The Serpent's venom revives Bolverk, who is still possessed by Bellower. If Iver lost the final battle, Bolverk has Bellower's body and pulls the silver arrow out of it, reviving Bellower. Iver, Juno, and Eyvind find the Ravens' caravan outside of Mannahar and Juno does something to the edge of the darkness. Cue credits.]]

* CounterAttack: Varl with the "Return the Favor" passive ability do 1 point of armor damage to anyone who hits them in melee. Shieldbangers' active ability, "Bring the Pain", ups this damage temporarily.



* DefendsAgainstTheirOwnKind: If you [[spoiler:don't kill the stonesinger, he]] helps you in some future battles [[spoiler:against the dredge]].



* DyingRace: After the fall of Grofheim and Einertoft in the first game, the Varl are on the brink of extinction. Hakon suspects that the Varl in the caravan are the overwhelming majority of the Varl still alive. And since the Varl can't reproduce and the God that created the Varl is long dead, the Varl race is probably doomed.

* HerdHittingAttack: The Varl warhawk active ability, Tempest, lets them hit several enemies they are adjacent to.



* NoShirtLongJacket: Bolverk [[WalkingShirtlessScene wears no shirt]], but has a bear pelt cape.
* RainOfArrows: The active ability of the Skystriker class (e.g. Oddleif). Any enemy uint stepping onto the trapped square gets hit with 1-3 arrows for ever increasing damage.



* ShieldBash: The active ability of Varl strongarms (except [[UseYourHead Iver]], who [[AnArmAndALeg only has one arm]]) is to whack an adjacent enemy with their shield, propelling the target away and damaging their armor.



** The sequel introduces enemies and allies alike who can cloak themselves, making them invisible and can't be targeted, but the cloak is broken if they either attack, or take damage. All of the above abilities are indiscriminate, so they, and other abilities, are crucial when fighting these opponents as they don't rely on being able to target these enemies to hurt them.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: In the first installment, training was just to practice different maneuvers on, but you gained no experience from it. In 2, training now not only gives kill experience to your warriors, it also gives you renown. This way there are no unwinnable situations, if need be you can grind to get weaker units up to scratch, and the renown you get will let you level them up. Alternately, you can grind for renown to get much needed food or perhaps a very valuable trinket.

* ForcedTutorial: AvertedTrope by the training feature which have entirely optional training missions with objectives that are designed to make you grasp some of the mechanics better (like using the Battering Ram ability to push an enemy into a Rain of Arrows-targeted location), but they ''do'' provide a bunch of valuable renown if you complete them.
