Line 5:
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Like most of the cast, Mazzy has quite a tragic backstory, but despite seeing her former adventuring companions [[Tragic Monster|turned into horrid undead monsters]], and feeling responsible for their deaths, she's remarkably un-angsty about it.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: If you play directly from ''Baldur's Gate II'' to ''Throne of Bhaal'', you go right from a fight against a mage-turned-demon in Hell to fighting Illasera.
* [[Non Sequitur Scene Episode]]: Despite having several interesting plot threads, ''Tales of the Sword Coast'' ultimately has no impact on the overall plot.▼
* [[Breather Boss]]: {{spoiler|Winski's Cambion}} in the first game. After a dungeon full of [[Demonic Spider]]s and deathtraps, facing a boss whose only tactic is simply to charge into melee combat is surprisingly refreshing.
* [[Canon Defilement]]: The novels. Dear ''god'', the novels. It'd be easier to make a list of what they get right then what they got wrong.
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
** "Vita! Mortis! Careo!"... unless a enemy spellcaster is casting a death spell on you.
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: When you manage to invade Abazigals lair, you have to retrieve a scroll of reversal in order to free the dragon who is guarding the entrance to the heart of the lair, who is trapped under a geas. The quest involves sending three "Adventurers" to retrieve a Gauth eye stalk for the mad wizard who possesses the scroll. Yet when they return they decide, for seemingly no reason at all, to attack the party, your character instantly transforms into the slayer and kills all three of them, which you have no control over as it is played as a cut scene. Then it fades out and shows them returning again, but this time they don't attack you and hand over the eye stalk, and the fact that they attacked you and you killed them is never mentioned or bought up again, and you have no opportunity to call them out on it.
▲* [[Non Sequitur Scene Episode]]: Despite having several interesting plot threads, ''Tales of the Sword Coast'' ultimately has no impact on the overall plot.
* [[Player Punch]]: In ''Baldur's Gate II'', Irenicus lands a barrage of [[Player Punch]]es before you even escape the first dungeon: {{spoiler|torturing both the Player Character and Imoen, killing former playable characters Khalid and Dynaheir off-screen, and abducting Imoen when you escape}}. Several more follow at intervals throughout the game, from both Irenicus himself and his [[The Dragon|lieutenant]] Bodhi. By the time the player finally has an opportunity to kill them, it's very satisfying to do so.
* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]:
