Vorynn
42) All skeletons were female warriors

42b) ... that wore DD-cup armor.

43) Goblins evolved from the gecko in Gex (or so it seems to me anyway)

44) Rynn is the only living thing that can run out of ammunition / break swords / damage her armor / deplete crystals with spells in them.

45) Wartoks / orcs are incapable of crossing bridges, so they must be capable of teleportation, but only when you aren't looking. How else do they get to those little islands / ledges?

47) Sticking an arrow into the back of a creatures throat at high velocity does no more damage than sticking said arrow into it's arm.

49) Corollary to #48: The air of Drakan has some odd element that turns flesh into rubber after a creature is dismembered.

52) Orcs and Wartoks don't fear dragons, but if you can make a poof of flame in your hand it sends them running.

62) Arohk has in-flight meals, saying Rynn the time needed to stop and eat.

63) The wartoks built giant flame shooting crossbows. Sure, the order of the flame has been dead for years, but you never know when a dragon will turn up!

65) Do we wanna know where she kept that locking rune?

Vorynn
75) Punching wasn't invented in this world. It's a weapon, or nothing.

80) Dragons don't blink.

83) Every machine has it's switch.

84) It is impossible to swim forward with your head above water.

85) Even if the back of your shirt is so full you can't hold any other weapons there, or "stow" your current weapon, you can always throw it back there for swimming / switch flipping purposes. Shirts are infinite.

Vorynn
96) Flame swords are only on fire when held in one's hand.

97) Bowstrings are just there for looks. There is no need to actually hook your arrow to it and pull it back. Just rest the arrow across the string and it works fine.

98) Dragons have a flight-ceiling of about 400 feet AGL (Above Ground Level). There is no way, no how, that a dragon can fly even 10 feet higher even for purposes of crossing a small ridge.

99) Climbing is like soccer: no hands allowed. If you can't jump to it, it's not worth getting to, or perhaps you need to find a way that requires jumping a checkerboard pattern above perilous magma and going the long way around.

100) Rope bridges creak for no apparent reason, given that they never actually sway or move.

106) Fish... aren't.

107) Clothes can freeze. Weapons can't.

108) There are no Footprints in the Sand.

109) Luckily, flame swords are incapable of singe-ing anything on the person weilding them.

110) No matter how hard it snows, shivering is un-ladylike, despite skimpy armor.

111) Perhaps as a side effect of bonding with Arokh, Rynn can move boulders 4 times her own size, and deftly swing weapons as big as she is, without even being thrown off balance.

Knife Hand

121) Fire arrows are enflamed by the rush of air immediately after loosing them from a bow.

124) All plate mail looks the same.

125) Despite the lack of a manufacturing process, all orc weapons look carbon-copied.

126) If a Wartok has something stupid to do, it won't do it until somebody is watching.

127) The ability to float / swim is not affected by wearing heavy armor, nor it is affected by carrying an extra set of armor, a few dozen arrows, a bow, 2 swords and an axe along with a dozen or so glass vials of magical elixirs in one's back pocket.

128) Nobody ever carries keys with them, they always leave them on a table somewhere, unless they are dead, in which case the key may reside with their skeleton.

129) Rynn only uses the highest-grade anti-gravity arrows.

130) Scavengers, wartoks, orcs, and all other denizens of Drakan have never taken swimming lessons.

131) Scavengers have incredibly high blood pressure. (chop off an arm, blood hits the ceiling in continuous spurts)

132) Spiders are never sure if they are all in one piece. Chop off their piercing fore-limbs and they will still try to attack you by waving their stumps.

Knife Hand
133) Tultol can appear out of thin air

134) Arokh has very little fighting ability without Rynn

135) Wartoks and Goblins have no peripheral vision.

Kokensu
136) Birds can't flap their wings up side down, but dragons can.

137) Insects can fly underwater, amazing.

138) Unlike Lara Croft, Rynn never climbs anything but ladders...

Blake
139) Only sub-par heroines need big backpacks! True heroines use that mysterious alternate dimention Shirtspace (tm). Of course, certain heronies might need big backpacks as counter-balance... ahem

Knife Hand
140) Succubi are a bit TOO friendly, if you know what I mean.

141) If I were Rynn, I wouldn't have gotten anwhere near that Succubi who couldn't take a bath.

142) When you walk up to Arokh head-on, he looks down the front of your armor.

Vorynn
143) 3 out of 4 doctors recommend moving FAST when you hear "Rynn, get out of the way!"

Cronus
144) The succubi are a remarkably beautiful sort of demon... Their queen should be the most beautiful... right?

146) All scavangers are bloody... No matter what.

147) Magic obviously cloaks furniture and inhabitants of houses from anyone peeking through the door.

148) Spiders like see-saws in their lairs.

150) Every 'bottomless pit' ends just when you can't see the walls due to darkness

151) Whirlpools are not only good teleporters... They are great for taking showers!

152) The guy at the belltower is a hippy, peace sign on bottom of sea near there.

153) Tiny pieces of armor still provide protection.

154) Baddies have no qualms about following you right back to your Dragon.

155) Orcs in ballistas /always/ splatter, even if they are not thrown high.

156) The gods of the realm decided that it was taboo to jump while kicking around pieces of stuff.

157) Stone platforms containing firey swords can float in midair.

158) Bats fly off the ceiling and quickly hit the floor.

159) Arokh stares at Rynn whenever she is within range... How embarrasing.

160) #1 tip for upping life expectancy in the Dark Union: BE ON TIME!

161) Monsters that hear Rynn when she is hiding behind posts and shouts out don't think she is much of a threat... They look at her then look back away.

162) The queen has it backward.. Arokh sucks without Rynn, not the other way around.

163) Soul crystals can slide through spinal cords with ease!

164) Screaming swords don't scare minions of evil.

169) Dragons think humans are lazy, (Deep dragon voice insert here --> )"feeling a bit lazy are we?"

TheReaoer
170) Apparently the spears that the knights throw are awfully heavy "Huhh!!" "Huhh!!"

Vorynn
"Pointless observations of what would be cool IF it WAS in the world of Drakan"

171) In the intro sequence, after Rynn dispatches the first two Orcs to attack, she should say "Alright... who wants some... who's next?"

172) Orcs in hang-gliders dropping rocks

173) At the end (which I haven't gotten to yet, but I assume Narvos must be there somewhere..) he should say "Rynn... I am your father"

174) In combat with an enemy, after chopping off their weapon-hand, Rynn should say "You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?"

175) Footprints

Back to the actual observations...
Mystery Man
176) When Rynn falls from a high cliff she explodes on impact.

177) During the intro sequence why don't the Wartoks take you away with them?

Balrog
178.) Due to a rare paralyzing nerve condition in her hands, Rynn is unable to climb slopes that she cannot easily walk up.

179.) Scavengers are very family oriented -- witness the one room in Wartok Canyons holding two parents and three little babies. (Awwww! How cute!)

180.) When threatened by mummy-like ghosts hurling green skulls and pyrotechnics, simply beat with any physical object until they go away.

181.) Rynn's entire village has only one outhouse, which is accessible only by swimming against a strong current. Perhaps this explains why they were so easily conquered?

183.) Orcs come in two flavors -- berry purple and lemon yellow.

184.) WARNING: Orcs and Wartoks are highly combustible when struck with boulders.

Mystery Man
187) No one in the game speaks Ye Olde English.

MightyHalfling
188) Rynn can ski down a rocky slope like it was snow-covered.

189) If she rolls a rock up to a tree, it will roll up the side of the tree and get stuck halfway up (wish I had a screenshot of this, it looks really funny).

190) Contrary to most people's expectations, dragons basically fly like helecopters; so much so that helecopter tactics (like "pop-up" attacks) work best.

yoodaa
191) Trees don't actually have branches, but rather green skirts on which adventuring heroines can take rest breaks on before continuing their downwards decent.

ElFlappo

198) After explosions, Wartoks are crashing boars.

199) I've seen ham hocks. Which part is the Wartok hock?

200) How much hock can a Wartok hock if a Wartok could hock...oh, never mind.

201) Lord of the Rings notwithstanding, according to the manual, orcs are "directly related to Wartoks..." Which leads me to the following observation:

202) Orcs: the other white meat.

Tim
203) Boulders can kill Rynn, Wartoks, Orcs, etc, but they can also slip right through a "solid" rock wall.

204) Consuming an Invisability Potion will make Rynn's clothes and armor disappear, but not her weapons.

205) Arrows do not fall in flight, they just disappear after awhile.

206) You should not question a dragon on how long it takes him to show up. He might get snappy with you.

Raistlin

Will Suncrusher
208) Rynn never has to pull the string back of her bow... just let it go and woosh!

sonja

210) the world of drakan is so high-tech they don't even need ropes or grappling hooks (otherwise rynn would be carrying one, right?)

211) rynn's got no friends! everyone wants to take a hack at her!

212) arokh's neck has built-in springs that make his head bob up and down when walking

213) rynn's clothes are water-resistant. so is her hair.

214) rynn's hair has been ultra-treated with hair spray, no matter how she moves or how high she jumps, her 'do stays in place.

215) arokh can walk sideways on walls without tilting over or rynn falling off

216) while riding arokh, rynn is busy with the in-flight snacks that she can't even grab a bow and help arokh fight even if four dragons are attacking the poor creature...

217) in the rift world when rynn saw her brother, she activated the built-in turbo boost in her boots to leap over such a looooong abyss

Bryagh
218) Arokh definitely does NOT give you enough time to "Step aside!"
