Line 12:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: {{spoiler|Von Glower}}.
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]:
** All over the place in ''Gabriel Knight 3''.
**
* [[As You Know]]: Some of the dialogue trees in the first game run into this.
* [[At the Opera Tonight]]: A rare example of the opera in question -- "Der Fluch Des Engelhart", written exclusively for the game -- being important to the plot. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: If the player has Gabriel investigate the ''Schattenjäger'' library in ''Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers'', he comes upon books relating to werewolves and vampires, the antagonists in the next two games.
** [[What Could Have Been]]: Similarly, entering "gk4" into SIDNEY in ''Gabriel Knight 3'' brings up an entry on ghosts.
▲** Heck, to compensate for the fact that you can't die during the first 90% of each of the games (which is kinda unique in Sierra games), most of the deaths that do occur in the last sequences are in fact usually pretty gruesome. Getting your heart ripped out or your jugular slashed, getting your throat ripped open by a werewolf, getting sliced in half or your spine broken by being "folded the wrong way" are all part and parcel of the uglier side of the ''Schattenjäger'' business.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: But then, who really wants to ditch the word ''Schattenjäger'' in exchange for its boring translation, "shadow hunter"?
* [[Gypsy Curse]]: The source of all the werewolf activity in ''The Beast Within''.
Line 55:
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Features heavily in ''Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father''.
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Lampshaded at one point in ''The Beast Within'', when Grace comes upon a quite large "PRIVAT" sign, about as long as someone's torso. To show that she's taking it with her, the actress -- the camera's POV being from the neckline up -- holds it upright and slides it down... [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|somewhere]]... and then turns back around and walks back towards the camera. There's no noticable bulge in her clothing, and she's not wearing her large coat at the time. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxY8bBEQC78&t=4m18s It's actually rather amusing].
**
** Inverted once with Gabriel in the first game. If you take money from the hounfor storeroom several times, Gabriel will start saying that he can't take any more.
* {{spoiler|[[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]}}: "You must do it!", as he throws Gabriel his rifle.
** Mild subversion: {{spoiler|von Glower can't kill von Zell because of their werewolf bond, and it's entirely possible the whole hunting trip was just a [[Batman Gambit]] to get Gabriel to do the job for him}}.
