History YMMV / Tyranny

-->'''Creator/RayChase:''' ''(as Tunon)'' [[spoiler:Master. If you'll join me upstairs, I will pledge fealty to you in the lawful manner .]] ''(regular voice)'' I do not wanna know what that is.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The fact that the player character cannot [[spoiler: remain loyal to Kyros in the ending]] was highly divisive. Eventually, Obsidian patched in [[spoiler:dialogue options where your character expresses a wish to do so and an ending where you swear fealty to Kyros.]]

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: For some, a game where you are the minion of an EvilOverlord (and the premise is played seriously, instead of [[BlackComedy for comedy]]) just does not sound very appealing, and those who feel this way also believe it contributed to the game's quiet performance. Others feel [[JustHereForGodzilla it's the big selling point of the game]].

** A [[RootingForTheEmpire portion of the fanbase]] [[DracoInLeatherPants roots for Kyros's regime, believing it brings peace and equality]]. The game emphasizes that this is untrue--slavery is legal, there are no consequences for racism, people can be killed on flimsy legal excuses, and so on--and that furthermore Kyros's Peace is a ''lie'' used to control the masses. [[spoiler:The last point is best shown when ''Kyros him/herself'' throws it aside in Act III to try and kill the Fatebinder when they become too big a threat to Kyros's power.]]
