Line 10:
** That describes enemy arrows. ''Your'' arrows are much more powerful.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Longchamps has shades of this.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: The games major villains are a [[Regent for Life|prince]], a sheriff, two nobles of unspecified rank and a knight. Also, enemy knights are shown to be contemptous of the regular soldiers and just as brutal as their underlings, while the mounted ones are not above killing unconscious opponents. Averted with [[Richard the Lion Heart]], Sir Godwin, Lord Ranulph and Robin himself (he is of noble family).
** The better dressed and groomed civilians will often report any sightings of the player characters, while poor civilians will praise them, sometimes misdirect guards if they come looking for them and offer valuable information.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Played straight with the bosses, officers and knights, and averted with Prince John, who is [[The Unfought]].
* [[Badass Moustache]]: Little John
Line 19:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Played straight with Prince John and averted with Will Scarlett.
* [[Call Back]]: Near the end of the opening cutscene, Robin fires an arrow into the air, promising that [[Richard the Lion Heart]] would be restored as King of England before it fell. In the closing cutscene {{spoiler|it indeed does hit the ground, ironically quite near King Richard and his returning party.}}
* [[
* [[Cowardly Boss]]: Guy of Gisbourne, who has two red pikemen [[Elite Mooks]] with him you have to fight before taking him on.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: What happens in the mission "A Wedding and a Funeral" after raising Richard's standard above York as a distraction.
Line 50:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Numerous, especially from the sidequests. Several of them involve rescuing villagers from the stocks. One early sidequest even involves taking down a corpse from the gallows so that a grieving widow can bury her child. Others involve rescuing villagers who are being held hostage by often sadistic Mooks.
** Sir Scathlock is implied to be starving some of his villagers, is reputed for barbaric treatment of his prisoners, and starves Friar Tuck for several days in a metal cage hoisted at a deadly height. His men are described as "animals" by Robin.
** One of the sidequests one can perform involves rescuing the husband of a woman in Leicester from Scathlock's prison in Derby. If one does not perform this quest, the man's corpse appears in a cell when the prison is sieged (If you do this successfully, you see the corpse of a young boy instead).
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: A possible tactic with Scarlett and the pike-wielding merry. It's bad for the [[Karma Meter]], but seems to be a favoured tactic of Lord Ranulph and Sir Godwin's troops. It is, naturally, also used by enemies, particularily against non-named characters, and particularily by [[Demonic Spiders|mounted knights]].
* [[Mercy Rewarded]]: See [[Karma Meter]].
Line 61:
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Prince John has curly locks, wears pink and has a rather effeminate voice. Also, the archers are thin and possess effeminate voices. Though, to be fair, so do the archers in Lord Ranulph and Sir Godwin's armies.
* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: See [[Kick the Dog]].
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: See [[
* [[Smug Snake]]: All of the major villains save Sir Scathlock.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Aside from Little John, there's also the club-wielding merryman.
