Line 50:
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Vlad from ''Vandal Hearts II'' [[You No Take Candle|speaks like a caveman,]] but as he explains, that's just because he's not from around there.
** Subverted in ''Flames of Judgment,'' where Altyria {{spoiler|pretends that she only speaks her native tongue, but actually speaks both languages fluently.}}
* [[The End
* [[Epic Fail]] / [[Narm]]: The debut of Kira Wulfstan in ''Vandal Hearts I'' may fall to this... if the attack does not hit.
{{quote| '''Kira''': ''[[Prepare to Die|Suck on this, brigand!]]''<br />
Line 91:
** The final boss of ''Flames of Judgment'' transforms into a raging fire beast after having been beaten in human form.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: In ''Vandal Hearts II,'' Pike constantly questions the other characters' reckless, impractical decisions. This role gets taken up by Connor in ''Flames of Judgment,'' though in a subversion, he himself has a habit of going [[Leeroy Jenkins]] when provoked.
* [[Plotline Death]]: Early in ''Vandal Hearts II,'' a villain hypnotizes {{spoiler|kindly old Lord Kossimo}} into attacking the protagonist, prompting the player to kill him in self-defense. Even though (1) you can avoid his attacks indefinitely, (2) [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|you have access to a spell]] that can freeze him in his tracks without hurting him, and (3) you should be able to just leave the room (you jump out a window in the very next cutscene), the game [[But Thou Must!|won't let you advance]] until you kill him.
** {{spoiler|Liana}} in ''Flames of Judgment'' is mortally wounded during a pre-battle scene, and lies wounded on the map during the fight. None of your healing abilities will help — in fact, even in the dialogue afterwards, Tobias tries a healing spell, but it doesn't work.
* [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]]: ''Vandal Hearts II'' includes all three, twice each. ''Vandal Hearts I'' and ''Flames of Judgment'' both feature a scene where a town gets torched, though not quite to the brutal extent of ''II.''
Line 112:
** {{spoiler|Kira}} becomes this on defecting back to you.
* [[The Dragon]] - Kane Spites in ''Vandal Hearts I''.
* [[The Good,
** Much later in the same game, it turns out that [[Sinister Minister|Hel Spites]], who's been setting himself up as the [[Big Bad]], has been trying to attain [[The Empire|Imperial]] [[World Domination]] for the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|safety of the people]]. Having seen the civilian populace getting caught in the crossfire between the former goverment's soldiers and the rebels, he decided to put an end to war, [[He Who Fights Monsters|no matter the cost]]... Moments after this revelation, he is [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|mercilessly slaughtered]] by [[The Man Behind the Man|Dolf Crowley]] in order for him to further [[The End of the World As We Know It|his own ends]].
* [[The Juggernaut]]: The enemy "Juggernaut". Attack them in the back; they die on one hit, attack them from anywhere else; you're basically asking for a major ass whoopin'.
