* ItsShortSoItSucks: When the ''Heart of Winter'' expansion was first released, people complained how short it was. This prompted ''Black Isle'' to release a second expansion, ''Trials of the Luremaster'', free of charge.

* NarmCharm: Yxunemei, a powerful maralith demon, makes a variety of scathing comments and verbose, pretentious speeches about her vast superiority over the party, whom she writes off as motes of dust. Even if the player insults her back, she isn't particularly incited to anger, but calmly conveys her very clear disdain for what you are, what you think, and what you stand for, alternating between PurpleProse and curt one-word-answers to get the point across. Her dialogue is especially memorable thanks to her [[CreepyChild eerie choice of avatar]], and the excellent voice work of Creator/TaraStrong.

This discussion would be a lot less memorable if she didn't spend it in the form of a [[CreepyChild bizarre little girl]] excellently voiced by Creator/TaraStrong. The entire exchange is played completely seriously, and the player can lampshade their opponent's incredibly odd mannerisms.

* [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]]: Icasaracht is a white dragon matriarch who made plans to cheat death by [[{{Dracolich}} transferring her soul into a new body]] if she died. When her spirit is freed to be reborn, she instead takes the body of the recently deceased [[BarbarianHero Wylfdene]], seeing the circumstances of the barbarian tribes of the Spine of the World as a reflection of [[DyingRace what the dragons went through years earlier]]. As Wylfdene she convinces the tribes to rally to her banner and go to war with the Ten Towns to drive out the humans and take back their homelands. After her deception is revealed, she retreats to her lair and takes host in one of her spare dragon bodies to be reborn as a white dragon again. She then faces the adventurers in a final confrontation and explains to them her motives and rationales, but refuses the idea of settling things peacefully, as [[DoNotGoGentle she'd rather join her kind in death than give up her ambitions]].

Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* OneSceneWonder: Kresselack. He's only spoken to twice and is a relatively minor character forgotten early in the game. But he's voiced by ''[[BadassBaritone Tony]] [[EvilSoundsDeep Jay]]'', and his backstory and character are more well-developed and memorable than a lot of other major characters in either of the two games.
