* AuthorsSavingThrow: One of the complaints about the initial release of the game was having only one save file per profile. The v1.7.0 release on August 20, 2019 rectified that by adding 2 more save slots per profile.

** Also, everyone in [[spoiler: Moonbrooke]], for [[spoiler: essentially tricking the Builder into locking Malroth in a cell and causing a rift between them]]. Many in the fanbase will not forgive them for this, though [[spoiler: the majority of them were tricked into it by Warwick in the first place and regret it]]. Some even move the residents that join the Isle of Awakening back home as soon as the game allows it, and players that go back to the story islands to renovate the towns for fun will often avoid giving the same treatment to [[spoiler: Moonbrooke]].

* ValuesDissonance: Relatively few Westerners would refer to the miners' blatantly sexual obsession with Babs as "love." Especially the case with the miners who lust after her despite having [[{{Squick}} known her as a child]]. Goldirox is even more frightening, as he approaches full StalkerWithACrush level, even starting to plan a wedding with a woman who's never shown the slightest romantic interest in him.

* ValuesDissonance: Relatively few Westerners would refer to For some Westerners, the miners' blatantly sexual obsession with miners', admiration of Babs can come off as "love." Especially something far less noble than [[ThePowerOfLove love]]. Among the case with villagers, this is most pronounced the miners who lust after her despite having [[{{Squick}} known her as a child]]. Goldirox is even more frightening, as gets this worst, given how he approaches full StalkerWithACrush level, even starting talks about wanting to plan a wedding with a woman who's never shown the slightest romantic interest in him.
marry Babs, despite having not known her too long.

* ThatOnePuzzle: Two puzzles on [[spoiler:Moonbrooke]] require you to build a pattern in the ceiling of a building, then wait for snow to accumulate on the floor in the shape of that pattern. Doing so requires not only ''waiting for it to snow'', but also spending several minutes waiting for snow to accumulate. And Rubiss help you if it decides to stop snowing while you're waiting for it to accumulate... or if one of your [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper party members]] steps on the snow, making you wait even longer.

Added DiffLines:

** As mentioned on the first game's page, Ghosts and Specters that only spawn at night return and are just as irritating, as they take forever to kill even with endgame equipment and deal decent chunks of damage early on. Fortunately, they can be warded off from your bases with torches and other basic light sources, and you can sleep in a bed until morning to prevent them from spawning, but having to go out of your way to find a bed to rest in can break up the pace of whatever you're working on, and if you're on an Explorer's Shores island, you either have to bring a bed with you and take up an inventory slot, hope you find a Builderdom's Best creation with a bed inside or risk dealing with them every now and then.

* ThatOneSidequest: Completing some of the Tablet Targets on the Isle of Awakening can be irritating for players attempting to get the final upgrades from the Hairy Hermit, especially so because some of the Tablet Targets can only be completed within their respective biomes (which the game [[GuideDangIt does not tell you about]]):
** Any tablet target that requires you to build two rooms next to one another to make a marked building, since, as mentioned on the main page as a GuideDangIt example, you're not expressly told what items constitute most of these rooms. Some are fairly simple to figure out, such as the restaurant which just needs a Simple Kitchen and a Dining Room next to one another - others are a bit more finicky, such as a petting zoo[[note]]an Animal House and a Playful Park next to one another - the former isn't too hard to figure out, but the latter ''explicitly'' requires you to use at least two [[spoiler:plank pathways]] and no other pathway types[[/note]] and/or require unlockable furniture, such as the spa resort[[note]]you need to build a Music Hall adjacent to a Steamy Spa - the former requires three musical instruments, which are only unlocked by completing other Tablet Targets, and you also need to place [[spoiler:two curtains]] for it to register properly; the latter needs three [[spoiler:Bathing Stools]], no other stool types, and three [[spoiler:Washtubs]] in addition to the Spa set, which requires a [[spoiler:large enough body of Hot Water with Floating Flower Petals placed in them]][[/note]]
** Selling items. This one has a [[GuideDangIt ton of hidden variables to get it to work right that the game never bothers to explain properly,]] turning a seemingly-simple task into a tedious slog. You need to find and recruit a Merchant [=NPC=] to your island, who are only found on Explorer's Shores islands randomly. You then have to make an Item Shop[[labelnote:Needed items]]At least 1 table, at least 1 Price Tag, a hanging Shop Sign and two crates[[/labelnote]], have the Merchant live in the biome the Item Shop is located, stock the items ''yourself'' on the price tags and wait for the Merchant [=NPC=] to sell them off. Worse still, certain villagers have hidden preferences as to what they will and won't buy, the game is ''very'' particular about what items can and cannot be stocked[[note]]you can't stock ''basic Medicinal Herbs'', the Dragon Quest series' version of a ''standard health potion'', nor most farming crops, but you can stock Gungerbread treats, which alleviate status ailments and aren't particularly straightforward to make[[/note]], the shop floor needs plenty of space for the other [=NPCs=] to walk around and observe the items for sale, and even when all these conditions are met it ''still'' takes forever because you have to wait on the whims of the Merchant and other [=NPCs=] to interact. And there are ''two'' Tablet Targets dedicated to this side activity, making it take twice as long.
** Making lots of different tile types on your map. You need 26 different tile types to show up on the map screen of the Isle of Awakening. There are ''just barely'' that many tile types in total in the game, many tile types overlap between several different block types, some already appear on the island by default, some require you to scoop up different liquid types with the Bottomless Pot (some liquid types, like lava, you need ''another'' Hairy Hermit upgrade for) and some are ''[[LastLousyPoint very]]'' [[LastLousyPoint easy to miss and overlook]], such as [[spoiler:Dragon Scales]] and [[spoiler:Plasma]] found on the last couple Explorer's Shores islands unlocked in the postgame.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Perhaps in a bit of developer oversight, Babs cooks lunch for the player and the player alone. If the Builder is Female, it means Babs is making lunches for the only other girl in the town for most of the chapter, while all of the male residents seethe with jealousy.
** Either that, or it's a BatmanGambit where Babs is inciting the jealousy to make the boys work harder. This works regardless of gender.
