This is a big thing in MMORPG's:
NPC says "I need you to go kill 25 UberKaren Wizards and bring me their heads as proof!"
You go to the castle where the UberKaren Wizards live and there's only 5 that spawn in the entire area. And only 10% of them apparently have heads when you kill them. So basically there aren't enough UberKarens in the entire world to fulfill your quest AND for some strange reason their heads are unlootable. And it's not like you are walking around with a supershotgun and blowing their heads up so there is nothing to loot. You are a rogue stabbing them from behind in the kidneys and somehow their head just magically can't be taken.

Every time I replay Jedi: Fallen Order I attempt to find ways to defeat enemies that take advantage of the limitations set in the programming. Enemies that will chase you until you reach a mythical border that the AI will not cross. Quite frankly, I get surprised by the occasional enemy that pursues me past the threshold of the door I just passed through. It's most fun using game-abusing tactics to beat the bounty hunters. If you cross a line on the ground you will slowly turn around and walk away from me back towards you default starting location? Hope you like getting stabbed in the back. You won't pursue me until I hit my mark on the ground? Imma gonna throw things at you first to kill you (my favorite is the time I squished one by force-pushing the large block he was hiding behind into the wall, crushing him instantly dead. My second favorite is the robot that will pursue you in Cordova's house if you get behind the large cooling fan because he will simply walk into the spinning blades and die). Actually, simply force pushing bounty hunters over cliffs and into electrical circuits is so satisfying on its own. Speaking of Fallen Order, is it even explained why the world resets after resting at a save point, other than 'well, Darks Souls does it'? |

Another thing is when an NPC asks you, some stranger, to go get something like their dead wife's favorite socks from a den of vampire werewolves.
And you actually do it!

Speaking of Fallen Order, is it even explained why the world resets after resting at a save point, other than 'well, Darks Souls does it'? I'm curiously less bothered by the logic behind that one than I am at the fact that I can use a meditation point to reset the world if I'm in the middle of getting my ass actively kicked. Granted, I used this a few times, particularly as I initially struggled with dealing with Jotazzes and Purge Troopers. Actually, I only recently got the hang of the timing of parrying scout trooper commanders (granted, it would undoubtedly be easier if I played on one of the lower difficulty levels). Honestly, any of the large beasties can give me issues, though at least the spiders and the lesser nydaks at least have insta-kills you can do on them if your timing is right. |

Pumpkins don't turn that big a profit, and no WAY Alex would date a farmer over Hayley.

Mother 3 {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Why did they insist on having Hinawa's funeral while Flint was in jail? You couldn't wait a day, especially since you put him in there? Was there some reason you had to bury the man's wife without him? |
