* [[Moon Logic Puzzle]]: The dwarf puzzles are normally straight logic, but sometimes get into this. [[Guide Dang It]] can result when the dwarves screw up. |

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: As the party increases in power, many of the random encounters become this. It is even possible to intimidate some of the bandits into running away. A well-built party can easily dispose of common muggers at the very start. |

* [[Now Where Was I Going Again]]: There is ''no quest log''. Heaven help you if you don't write your quests down, or leave the game for a while. Hopefully, someone will fix this in a remake. |

* [[Politically-Correct History]]: Only three professions are forbidden to women, specifically friar, priest and bishop (and most male PCs will never get those jobs either). Women can become knights, soldiers or students as easily as males. |

* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: Mostly played straight, but there're some aversions: for example, at least one saint grants her miracle only if there's at least one female character in the party. Also some miracles have different benefits depending on the character's gender, and only males can be friars, priests or bishops. |

* [[Quicksand Box]]: The game's "Main Quest" is actually optional. You could spend a long time playing before even encountering the first "plot hook", and nothing compels you to take it. In fact, even if you finish the main quest, you're free to play for as long as you like. |
