* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]] -- Ambrosius, who spends his duty-time preening and admiring himself, is the poster child of this trope. The other guards are no better: see [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] below.

* [[Guide Dang It]] -- The puzzles in the game are on the difficult side, but what drives most people to walkthroughs is actually a non-puzzle: {{spoiler|catching the hamster. Most people over-analyse the set-up, when all you have to do is to run to its cage extra fast.}}

* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]] -- Not exactly: the dwarves have turned managerial and have hired goblins for lowly work, and in additional to mining, they've expanded their business interest to logging and real estate. Still, some things never change:

A good third of Lilly's lines are references to other games or movies: one choice bit concerns the sociopathic Ceville and a rabbit costume:

** A few objects exist only to be collections of shout-outs, including the notice board and the collection of costumes in the Theater.
