* SequelDisplacement: Resulted in this towards the game it spun off from, ''VideoGame/OfOrcsAndMen'', due to Styx already being popular enough from that game to be the protagonist of this game and the [[VideoGame/StyxShardsOfDarkness sequel]] that followed, to the point people only really remember the original game as being where Styx debuted despite his being the ''deuteragonist'' next to Arkhail there.

* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler:It's still unclear if the Styx in Of orcs and men is the first one or the clone. Which one survived the fall ?]]



* ScrappyMechanic: Combat is overall discouraged and the mechanics about it doesn't exactly help. You must parry the attack of enemies in a [[PressXToNotDie Quick Time Event]], but trying it when there's more than one around is almost suicidal.
* WhamEpisode: Deliverance. You meet [[spoiler:Styx who's been manipulating you all the time into doing his bidding]], things quickly take a turn for the worse there.

** Roabies. mutated bugs with incredible hearing, forcing Styx to slow to a crawl when moving among them. although the unarmored variant can be killed with throwing knives, they are obnoxiously sensitive to sound, can kill Styx in seconds, and cannot be engaged in combat. Worst of all, they usually appear in groups over two and one floor below where the guards position themselves, making even muffled kills sometimes too big a risk to perform, whether on the bugs, or on the guards.



** Orcs. Hulking creatures that work as attack dogs that are almost always alert. If one grabs you, it's over. Period. Fortunately they are chained or behind cages, unfortunately they can still grab you in their cage at and chained ones are always positioned in obnoxious places.

* HellIsThatNoise: The heartbeat noise. While subtle it indicates [[ParanoiaFuel if an enemy is about to spot you]].
** The roar of Orcs. You will learn to fear/hate that noise in the first level you have to deal with them.

** Knights. Immune to your dagger and throwing knives and kills you instantly they catch you. Poisoning food and water or dropping a massive chandelier on their heads are the only ways to get rid of them.

** Roabies. Blind, but you must ''walk'' to avoid any sort of detection from them, even moving while crouched will alert and in some levels they are placed in points where taking too long will end up getting you spotted by soldiers.
