Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: When you tell the Ultimate Joke to {{spoiler|Ad Avis}}, he sneers and claims it's not even funny, but begins laughing uncontrollably after another second.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Baba Yaga, the Rusalka.

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Lampshaded by the Narrator: "In what country did your luggage end up in THIS time?" {{spoiler|You never see any of your equipment again, and have to get replacements for everything but your armor.}}

* [[Balancing Death's Books]]: Erana's staff has the power to exchange the life of one person for that of someone they love. {{spoiler|Toby ultimately uses it to resurrect Tanya.}}

* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Ad Avis uses this to kill Katrina by manipulating her feelings for the main character}}. He also fails badly at an earlier one: {{spoiler|after capturing you, he chains you up in brittle chains and leaves a stake and mallet directly in front of you, allegedly to "taunt you with your ineffectualness." When you inevitably escape, the only way out leads you directly into Katrina's chambers. While you have the option to kill her (which in turn kills you) it's fairly obvious that this is a setup.}}

* [[But Now I Must Go]]: Done for you by Erasmus in the end.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Toby is this giant, furry, hulking, red-eyed, fanged, ill-tempered monstrosity. However, he's just protective of his ward to the point where he will {{spoiler|sacrifice himself to bring her back to life}}. He's like a hulking, red-eyed Chewbacca.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]] - "Shadows of Darkness."

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: [[Mad Scientist|Doctor Cranium]], whose goal for re-animating dead bodies (think Frankenstein) seems to be to create a living sex toy for himself...

* [[Haunted Castle]]: Castle Borgov.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: The Rusalka. {{spoiler|Initially she tries to drown you because, well, that's what Rusalki do; she doesn't particularly want to, but she's compelled to seduce men and drown them. Giving her flowers convinces her that you're a nice guy, and jump-starts the sidequest that results in her being allowed to move on to the afterlife.}}

* [[Identical Grandson]]: The Paladin Piotyr looks identical to his grandson, Dmitri the Burgomeister. Only the latter has a longer beard.

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: A literal example, although also averted with them actually being among the weakest monsters in the game.

* [[Totally Not a Werewolf]]: Gypsies are [[Voluntary Shapeshifter|voluntary shapeshifters]] and scoff at the villagers' fervent belief in the stereotypical werewolf legend (involuntary change, weakness to silver, etc).

{{quote|'''Gypsy''': Gypsies are not werewolves! But we ''are''... ''shapeshifters!''}}

* [[Undead Child]]: {{spoiler|Tanya}}

* [[Unfinished Business]]: The Rusalka is forced to haunt the lake and kill people because she was drowned by an unfaithful lover; to release her spirit you have to tell her her real name and avenge her death by calling up the spirit of her murderer and [[Wife-Basher Basher|delivering some holy justice]].

* [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]: The Dark Master.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The gypsies can turn into wolves at will.
