* NoHeroDiscount: Lampshaped and Justified. You can ask the fortress quartermaster to outfit you for free, but he laughs it off and says Redbeard wants you to be self-sufficient.

* DummiedOut: In the first game, a mage in Goldcrag says she will visit the new dragon on the block (Zephyrine), after you complete her quest. She never actually does so, even when you leave and return to the Kva. However, dialogue for meeting her in Zephyrine's lair exists.

* AbsurdlyLowLevelCap: The game has a pretty low level cap (30), which you'll likely reach about 80% of the way through the game if you've been keeping up on sidequests.

''Avadon'' is a roleplaying game from Spiderweb Software, and serves as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}}''--with a bit of tone and themes from ''VideoGame/{{Geneforge}}'', and some clear admiration for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''.

Examples Are Not Arguable and I'm shocked that no-one has added Affably Evil for Redbeard before now.


* AffablyEvil: If you consider Redbeard's laundry list of horrific human rights abuses unjustifiable. He's downright friendly when he's not sanctioning systematic MindRape of prisoners or devising a FateWorseThanDeath to MakeAnExampleOfThem.



* TheEmpire: The Tawon Empire used to be this, back when it ruled over much of the continent of Lynaeus. There are those who would like to see it become this again.
** Avadon is arguably this now.

Added DiffLines:

* EnemySummoner: The ogre chief in the third game. The large swarms of bats he summons are bad enough, but he also summons drakes, which are themselves capable of summoning more monsters. Mustering the action economy to shut down the proliferation of enemies is key in this fight.


Added DiffLines:

** ''The Warborn'' mixes it up with the allies: the female blademaster and sorcerer return from previous installments, and of the new characters, the tinkermage is female and the shaman and shadowwalker are male. Once again, a [=PC=] of any class can be either male or female.

* GoodIsNotNice: Zig-zagged if you agree that Redbeard and Avadon are doing the right thing. Redbeard is, in fact, a friendly guy as long as you don't annoy him. But poke around in the catacombs and you'll see exactly how far he'll go in making examples of those who tried to bring him down.
