* SeriesContinuityError: While effort was put into accounting for several apparent continuity errors between both games (the Judge Cleric being retconned to be a woman with this inconsistency acknowledged in-game), there's at least one instance that offers not even a handwave. Specifically, Andreas of Ebb boldly proclaims himself a descendant of the now-legendary Antanas from the original game, and the Book of Lineage you find for him helps reinforce that. This is in spite of the fact that audio logs found in the original game establish that Antanas's wife died at some point shortly after giving birth to Antanas's son Berinon, and [[OutlivingOnesOffspring at some point Berinon was killed or died]], leaving Antanas with no known living relatives and no indication of relatives or fathering more children.

* HappyEndingOverride: The canonical "Balance" ending of the original game was framed as ending on a fairly positive note, especially with the right choices taken concerning the minor choices beyond what Harkyn does with Adyr's rune. Balance is restored between the mortal and Rhogar realms, there are enough survivors at the monastery to confirm the truth about Antanas's plans, and humanity remains free of the influence of gods. Flash forward a thousand years and Adyr is on the verge of returning, Antanas went through an in-universe HistoricalHeroUpgrade while Harkyn experienced [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade the opposite]], civilization has backslid towards fanatically worshipping gods oncemore, and the act of casting aside Adyr's rune is treated as the greatest mistake Harkyn ever did.
