Aveyond/YMMV

"Ahriman: It shall be done. Show this paltry world the power of the daevas!"
 * Cliché Storm: Occasionally subverted and lampshaded here and there. YMMV, but possibly the reason Aveyond is a rather obscure series.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Te'ijal, an Optional Party Member from Aveyond 1. She got a cameo in Aveyond 2, and was a central character in Aveyond 3.
 * Fan Preferred Couple: Most fans prefer Lars/Rhen rather than the canon pairing, Dameon/Rhen.
 * Also . You can make this pairing happen in individual gameplay, but canon is
 * Non-canon Talia/Devin also seems rather popular. Like the above pairing, it's possible in individual gameplay.
 * Edward/Belf is pretty well-received for the lulz
 * Genius Bonus: Ahriman is the name of a Persian god of evil. Ishtar is the name of a Sumerian goddess of love and war.
 * Nox is a Roman goddess of night.
 * The daevas from the first game are named after daevas (duh) from the Persian myth, except for Agas. The demon named Agas is originally a Drug (or Khord-Drug, depending on who you talk to), which ranked lower than the daevas.
 * A lot of the names in Aveyond 1 came from Persian myth.
 * It's Short, So It Sucks: Fans complained about how short the first chapter of Aveyond 3 despite the fact that it was just half of a game and the second chapter wasn't even released yet.
 * Narm: Several scenes throughout the series, especially anything with Ahriman in it:

"In LOT: Fellow vampires, the time has come to take the Overworld as our own. Too long have humans, our dinner, ruled that land.
 * It gets better in Aveyond 3, though.
 * Not really. Gyendal isn't much better than Ahriman. And he repeats his "People of darkness, we have been oppressed by the light for too long. Let us band together and rise against the light!" speech with very similar wording in Lord of Twilight and The Darkthrop Prophecy.

In TDP: Followers of darkness, too long have we been forced to live in the shadow of light. It is time for us to rise and rule the land above!"


 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: Galahad wasn't too popular in Aveyond 1, thanks to his Knight Templar and Holier Than Thou tendencies. He gained a lot of fans in Aveyond 3, where he was a Knight in Sour Armor vampire Death Seeker.
