Line 13:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Yeah, yeah, we ''know'' that "Vrischika" is Sanskrit for "scorpion"... but is there ''anyone'' who isn't going to think of ''[[Homestuck]]'' when they read that these days?
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The Practical Incarnation. Holy crap the Practical Incarnation.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Updated my journal". An average playthrough will have this sound play several hundred times, and the phrase has become an in-joke between fans. Most of the Nameless One's barks have also attained minor in-joke status.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: There's a chance it will be crossed in the story's narrative. You have several opportunities to cross it yourself. Some past incarnations ({{spoiler|Especially the Practical Incarnation, and [[Noodle Incident|apparently]] your first incarnation}}) crossed it already.▼
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** {{spoiler|Your first incarnation did not merely cross the horizon. He ran past it screaming, scissors in hand, baby entrails dripping from his open mouth, dead puppy wrapped uncomfortably around his genitalia, and killing everything in his in his path in such horrible ways that they envy the dead puppy. '' The first incarnation was not a nice person.'' A thousand lifetimes of saintly penance would not be enough to make up for whatever he did. He's the good-aligned incarnation. And he's the one warning you.}}▼

** The Practical Incarnation {{spoiler|made Deionarra love him so her soul will be bound to him in death and force her to help him if he ever returns. It was his backup plan should he die in the Fortress of Regrets, which he did.}}▼

** ''You'' can cross it yourself in [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|multiple ways]], though particularly, {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream|shoving Morte or Annah into the Pillar of Skulls]]}}.
*** Unless you
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Don't let the general quirkiness fool you, there are a ''lot'' of highly disturbing things in this game; enough that this trope requires [[Planescape: Torment/Nightmare Fuel|its own page]].
* [[Player Punch]]: Hoo boy, yes. In particular, trying to play one of the evil paths is akin to facing down an Olympic boxer with lead weights tied onto your extremities. If the player is not a [[Complete Monster]], of course.
