* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: After {{spoiler|reaching the Fortress of Regrets, opening the Bronze Sphere, and discovering both your true name and the source of your torment}}, thereby achieving emotional catharsis, you get to fight the [[Big Bad]]. While you can [[Talking the Monster to Death|defeat him with words]] if you [[Statistically Speaking|have high enough wisdom, intelligence, or charisma]], or if you get {{spoiler|the Blade of the Immortal}}, he isn't all that impressive of an enemy in physical combat either, except if you're ''really'' high level. Also, resurrecting Vhailor and telling him the truth of your identity will make him an unbeatable killing machine that drops the boss with relatively few hits.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Ravel Puzzlewell is a horrible being, practically an incarnation of evil. The stories of her cruelties are legendary, and people are still afraid to talk about her, centuries after she disappeared for good. And yet...three times she tried to do an act of kindness, and each time it backfired terribly on her. Then there's the fragments of herself that she's left around, like poor old {{spoiler|Mebbeth, a kind healer who helps you a great deal, should you ask for it. After Ravel's death, Mebbeth slowly fades away, filled with regret.}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|The Practical Incarnation.}} Even an evil-aligned Nameless One will be disgusted by his actions.
* [[Cult Classic]]: Essentially doomed to this, given that about seven months after this game came out, [[Diablo|a sequel to a much simpler and more popular game came out]].
