Line 2:
* [[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.
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|The Practical Incarnation.}} Even an evil-aligned Nameless One will be disgusted by his actions.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Having Martha conduct an autopsy on you while you're still alive is pretty dumb, and then the game goes on to describe the procedure in squirm inducing detail before The Nameless One finally passes out.
* [[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]].▼
** It didn't help that combat, ''Diablo II's'' bread and butter, tended to feel like an afterthought in this game.▼
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Morte and hookers. And female zombies. And Annah. Well, just... Morte.

Line 16 ⟶ 13:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The [[Recurring Riff]], and by extension, most of the battle music and the background music for [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]].
** Most of the [[Leitmotif|Leitmotifs]], especially [[Tear Jerker|Deionarra's]].

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Your party members, when they try to put up a fight against the Transcendent One. Particularly Fall-from-Grace, who ''actually manages to damage him''.}}
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: The plot itself can give birth to umpteen, but in-game dialogue mentions an all-time great: that the Lady Of Pain, mysterious and godlike ruler of Sigil, who can banish lawbreakers to endless, eternal mazes (or just kill them by casting a shadow made of thousands of magical blades) for crimes like murder, treason or daring to worship her, is actually six giant squirrels wearing a cloak, a ring of levitation and an illusion spell.
