I’m like 80% positive that Resident Evil games make zombies have more or less heslth depending on how much Ammo you currently have on you. When I only have a few bullets, I seem to scrape by. But when I actually get a decent amount of Ammo saved up, all of the sudden every zombie needs 12 shots to the brain to knock em down, and then they get back up to take another 5 or so bullets. Makes me not even worry about Ammo conservation knowing that as soon as I get stocked up the game is just gonna make me blow through everything every other encounter.

Took me 3 years to beat witcher 3 because of this.

But yeah the side quests are making me take breaks in FFXVI. Finally got to the end of the game, thinking I’ve done everything there was to do and finally ready to go fight the big bad, only for the game to throw like 10 side quests at you right before the final level. Really broke the momentum and made me lose hype for the ending knowing that I now have to put that aside while I do some errands. You might say i don’t have to finish every single optional side quest, but we all know that isn’t true.

Especially not in my new playthrough. I played my first one so carefully, now I’m doing a “whatever happens, happens” playthrough. Lazel is already dead

Minor Spoilors for Baldurs Gate 3 (on mobile so I can’t hide)

Not sure of it 100% counts as unintentional, but at the start of act 3 you meet a little girl who has lost her mom. You offer to let her stay in your camp while you look for her (but the game heavily implies she is dead) and she moves into your camp with her cat.

An odd detail that confused me at the time is when talking to the cat, you get dialogue options askingbthe cat if she is being abused, which is an odd detail because why would my character automatically think the cat was being abused.

Well further down the line you get word from someone that a shapeshifter has infiltrated your camp. Immediately I put two and two together, lost girl, dead mom, abused cat, she is definitely a shapeshifter who knew i wouldnt say no to a little girl in need. (Plus she was the only new charecter in my camp, everyone else has been with me since act 2)

Confident in my deduction, I decided to confront the girl, to which she had nothing to say but her normal dialogue about making food. So I decided I would force her out of hiding. I picked her up and threw the little girl as far as I could. That didn’t shake her, so I threw her at Lazel, still nothing, so I threw her at a barrel, nothing, threw her at her cat, nothing, eventually everyone had enough of my antics and everyone in my camp attacked me for abusing this little girl

Turns out she wasn’t the shapeshifter, I just threw an innocent girl around camp… I cracked up so hard when I realized XD
