Hey Jules. I don’t know if you’ll end up seeing this or not, but I want to say thank you for all the positivity in your videos the last few years. I struggle with anxiety/depression and more, but whenever I see you’ve put something up, I watch it straight away. It’s been comforting to me. Again, thank you for doing what you.
Pro tip: In Deus Ex there's another implant slot with two options that can make other implants suck a lot less. 1: You install a mod that reduces the power usage of other ones. Meaning you can make it more viable to explore for longer than the hazmat suit lasts for by using the environmental resistance. 2: Instead you install one that massively increases the EFFECT of other mods. Meaning that for a crazy high power draw you can make the environmental resistance mode highly effective while only having it on the basic upgrade level.
i just remembered one that sort of fits: in Skyrim, the "lockpick" perk called "wax key". all it does is give you a copy of the key for any door you have ALREADY picked the lock of! since 90% of the locks in the game DON'T RE-LOCK, it's utterly pointless. in fact, it actually makes it HARDER to improve your lockpick SKILL to higher levels, because repeatedly picking the lock of a store is the BEST way to improve it!
And even so, you'll always want to unlock doors that do lock again for more skill since there's just not enough locks to get to 100 easily if you're any good at lockpicking.
TBH, Skyrim's whole lockpicking tree in general. _Some_ of the perks are OK, but they require you to invest perk points into prerequisite perks to unlock them, making them more expensive than they're worth. It's the 'whoop-de-doodle-do' tree for pissing away perk points pointlessly. I'd only gently suggest it as an option if one has some sort of co-ordination issue that makes it difficult to pick locks, or for RP purposes and on the other hand, leaving lockpicking and the like harder would be better for immersion in any case, it gets easier to pick locks the higher your skill level so that's sufficient for role play class progression purposes I think. The better option for RP purposes would be to get a perk overhaul mod if possible, like Ordinator. I've not done a lockpicking playthrough (I really should, now that I've re-checked the perks). Much more interesting that way. It gets you perks that can mess with automatons, set traps, etc.
@@ThatSoddingGamer a nifty "exploit" i learned about: if you join the Thieves Guild and do the quest line, you will eventually get a quest to take "the Skeleton Key" back to where it belongs. if you simply don't take it back, you can keep using it indefinitely. it CANNOT BREAK. so you can pick every lock easily, regardless of your skill level!
@@ericb3157 Yeah, there is that option, might be worth it if one is really bad at lockpicking, so it's a good tip in that sense. Otherwise it's a fairly superfluous item, given how easy lockpicking is generally, and how common lockpicks actually are. In most of my playthroughs that last a god while I usually end up with over 99 picks without ever buying any.
Most of the thief skills end up useless or redundant. Take base sneak skill - just one point for 25%(20% unofficial patch) improvement then enchant/use equipment with improved sneak plus natural/trainer/skill book sneak leveling. Even the perk that prevents the activation of traps becomes useless once your HP and armor gets high. Only perks I find actually worth it are stronger potions in alchemy and better damage in sneak attacks. Then there is enchant which makes a lot of thief perks useless. Do we max three skill trees to get the base benefits of sneak, lockpick, and pickpocket or do we max a single tree that will do the same plus the perk of double enchant? In fact enchant very much breaks the game's whole perk system. It's the one tree that should be maxed ASAP which is easy to do with or without exploits or mods. Doesn't matter if it's a petty or black/grand gem because the amount of skill xp gained when enchanting is always the same unlike smithing and alchemy which is based on item worth. Even if you fill a grand gem with a wolf soul it will level up enchant the same as a proper grand gem.
I was initially very confused by the inclusion of Graug Hunter. I only played Shadow of Mordor on PC, and had an absolute blast riding those guys and just wrecking face! My sympathies to those earlier console players
The Phoenix perk from the first Borderlands. It's the end of the Siren's Elemental tree, and surrounds you in an Elemental damage aura every time you make a kill. The thing is, it's invisible to YOU, and there's no indicator of whether it's on or not at the moment. And it has a tendency to kill you because you move too close to an explosive barrel while it's up, most frequently when trying to loot corpses after a fight.
@@Alloveck yeah, it wasn't obvious what was happening for a while, I thought there was some super hidden sniper or something. I got through the rest of the game, but damn I wish I'd specced her differently

@@drfake1110 there was no symbol on my HUD, it might have been patched in later, which is definitely a plus. My issues mostly came after all the enemies were dead, so sadly the ignition wasn't happening to the corpses, that would have been a nice touch, though.

I really regretted getting the XP boost perks when I played Fallout 3 for the first time. You might level up a bit quicker, but that just means you're wasting more XP when you're max level, while you miss out on perks that are actually useful throughout the game.
I wonder how many learned real quick to NEVER EVER EVER get the Lead Belly perk or similar variation of rad removal in food and water because radaway is so much easier to find and buy. Another useless perk is the improved gun bash perk in FO 4. If you need to bash a lot then make an unarmed/melee build or find/improve your weapons.
So many games have these types of perks “earn more xp per kill” etc. i always have to google whether or not they’re worth it because as soon as I hit max level I lose interest in the game. No more progression = no more play
I hate seeing these in games. Even if the game doesn't have a level cap and/or it's unreasonably high, it's always a pain to figure out if the benefit pays for its cost since experience requirements tend to multiply a certain amount each level. IMO they should always tell you teh math right on the skill. How many levels it will take for it to pay itself off, etc.
@@dak5027 That was one of the reasons I didn't finish Fallout New Vegas: playing just didn't feel rewarding. And the game was a total bugfest and I wasn't gripped by the story no matter if everyone says it's so great.
@@Ghalion666 True. A XP perk may say 25% more XP but how much of that 25% is literal because of things like the effect of being level 30 but not getting the regular XP gain against level 30 enemies as one does at level 1. More times than not players will hit a wall on regular XP gain long before nearing max level and no amount of XP boosts will help.
You could have made this video only about Cyberpunk and had too many items for a list. To date there are some perks that either aren't working as advertised or just don't actually do anything.

Hi-Fi rush, the one chip that removes the skill dash item grab effect. It does nothing else and was "Just to make sure you are reading the descriptions"
That Scrapper perk from Cyberpunk 2077 was the first thing that came to mind. Junk items are basically how you make money in the early game, so denying yourself that income source is really unhelpful. Plus, the Scrapper perk is available early on, so (pre-1.5) it was really easy to unknowingly sabotage your build.
Worse, there was a quest reward worth 10k - that was 'Junk'. The best item to sell in the entire game, and Scrapper just took it from you. (Oh, there's a swimming perk in that skill tree too - just as useless. There is exactly one place on the entire map would where it even could in *theory* make a difference.)
Just to clarify, not sleeping with head trauma is a myth. While you should seek medical attention, doctors will encourage you to rest and sleep. -paramedic
@@chrisschack9716 Not really. Unless you have a rare brain bleed, the likely scenario is that you have a concussion. A concussion won't worsen itself without further head trauma, so sleep and rest is the best way to go.
i heard that "idiot savant" CAN be useful, IF you get lucky and it multiplies a QUEST reward... but you're probably better off just getting extra Intelligence.
I know this is late, but in Assassin's Creed Origins there was an ability added with the last DLC that applied poison to anyone you killed with a Predator Arrow. Sounds good except the poison would kill innocent animals 99% of the time and do nothing else :(
The wallrun ability in Dying light 2 got me killed so many times bc the method of grabbing a ledge was the precise same as wallrunning, and the only difference that decided which you performed was the precise angle that you approached the jump. If you had limited space and had to jump to the side, there was a good chance you were wallrunning to your death.
Not sure if it's been done or not but how about a video on the top gameplay mechanics/skills (in-game) you could exploit to make the game too easy. A few of these could come from Skyrim like the sneaky archer build that can have you with such high sneaking and archery that you become a god of death with your bow. But probably the best mechanic/s to exploit are the alchemy/blacksmithing/enchanting ones. Where you can do a loop of potion making, blacksmithing, and enchanting until you create armor so overpowered that you become a god: to where you can dish out soo much damage that you can one-punch any enemy in the game, could fall from any height but your crazy regen stats more or less negates any damage you take, have such high sneak buffs that you could suplex an old man in the middle of town and no one will see you. It more or less breaks the game and removes any challenge from it at all as enemies can no longer hurt you due to how quickly your health recovers nor can they defend themselves as you instantly cut down even the strongest of enemies even if they are blocking to defend themselves. In the console Fallout titles, especially in Fallout 4, you can exploit the sneaking and long range perks to become an unstoppable sniper that can pick off multiple enemies before they even have a chance to know where you are. Combined with the weapon crafting, you could build yourself one hell of a long rifle that lets you dome enemies without having to get anywhere near them. This becomes even more useful in gamemodes like Survival where damage is overall increased for everyone and everything meaning most enemies you encounter in the game aside from some of the biggest and most armored ones can all be taken out with a single well placed bullet to their brain-pan. Hell, with high enough sneaking, even enemies in Power Armor are no match for you as you can sneak up to them and pickpocket the Fusion Core right out of their suits of armor and force them out of it, leaving them vulnerable to a quick shot to the head. If there is anything I leaned from playing Bethesda titles (Fallout/Elder Scrolls) is that usually going the sneaky/long ranged build will surely make the game laughably easy for you once you've sunk a little time into making the right build.
I can't believe you missed Borderlands The Pre-Sequel doppelgangers "Inspire". Using a precious skill tree point for the perk does this: Jack will occasionally monologue, at the end of which a star will travel across the screen with a rainbow trail, leaving the word "INSPIRED" behind it. This skill has no other effect on gameplay.
I’m reminded of this one after that phase ability in Ratchet and Clank but essentially game mechanics that didn’t show up again until the end of the game
Games you believe never got better after a certain iteration! Symphony of the Night was the last Castlevania game I liked, and it defined so much about Castlevania in decades to comes. I haven't liked another Castlevania game since, really, even the ones that ape SOTN. Good games objectively, but they never really got anywhere for me.
I just have to say that sleeping after a head injury is actually a GOOD idea as long as the person does not have other symptoms from the injury such as dilated pupils, slurred speech, confusion, or instability while walking. Best practice after a head injury is seeing a doctor but as long as they do not show any of those signs its actually beneficial for the person to get rest. The only reason they said to not fall asleep is the whole passing out into a coma or dying is hard to notice when someone is asleep. So seek medical aid and, if cleared, sleeping is a great thing to do.
Not the version you were talking about but the animated Hobbit movie by Rankin-Bass is great. Way better than the live-action version and more faithful to the book. It doesn't add anything, like a pointless romance, and the only things it takes away don't really effect the story that much. While it might not count as a skill: the Daemon Prince upgrade for Eliphas in the Chaos campaign of Dawn of War: Dark crusade actually make him weaker than he was before you take it. Mostly because it gets rid of the nine upgrades you need in order to have it available to pick in the first place.
Ooof! Relatable! I love games like Horizon Forbidden West that let you reset and re-allocate your skill points as you play to adjust to your play style and get a better stronger build.
well let's start with a few things. 1 most One piece Games are set after the time skip which means they do not have the going Mary they have the thousand sunny.2 there are a lot of spells in the First final fantasy that just don't work also I would probably throw in lancet from final fantasy 10 considering the attack is really weak unless used by Kumari and maybe also jinx I don't really know tho
Night vision with crouching in fallout 4 It makes sneaking indoors and outdoors nearly impossible since you cannot see anything around light sources and it cannot be disabled
I never took cult of personality in FO2 i thought about how to get sniper, slayer, and my luck to 10 to crit on a 2-20 before post game. For those who say its not possible, bull ive done it. 95% crit on melee and ranged attacks and beat the game w/o allies.
Two things: First off, The Hobbit comment. The live action movie a few years back was pretty bad, not even gonna argue that one. But that said, I've always been a fan of the 1979 Rankin & Bass animated version. Two words: Leonard Nimoy. Secondly, there was once a game known as "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura". As the name suggests, this was a fantasy rpg based in a magical steampunk setting. It plays much like the first two Fallout games with the top-down isometric view. Leveling up gained you points that you could spend to upgrade your stats or learn new spells, OR, to learn "schematics" which allowed you to take two random pieces of junk and combine them into things like weapons, armor, explosives, healing items, and tools. Schematics were separated into two subgroups: "learned" and "purchased", and one such purchased schematic deserves to be on the list (at least, in my opinion). "Lemon & Potato Charges", this schematic allows you to craft batteries with lemons and potatoes. Sounds great on the surface, until you wander the entire map and find only 3 lemon trees and 2 potato plants in the entire game. And no, these items do NOT "respawn" if you leave for a few in-game days/weeks/months. So paying your precious coins for the ability to make some batteries a total of about 5 times is a massive waste.
Question... Do Graugs show up in Middle-Earth:SoM for the Steam? Just checking if the game was ported from the two systems mentioned, or is one that doesn't have the problem.
Am I the only one who remembers Graugs? I owned the PS3, 360, and PS4 version of the game and I saw graugs in all 3 versions...... they weren't as abundant in the PS3 and 360 as in the PS4 version but they were still there and you could ride them
You may want to actually play Daggerfall before claiming time doesn't matter. ;) All missions have a timer. Seems like you got mixed up with Morrowind and onwards.
The way that these skills are represented within a videogame is usually the reason why most people end up buying them, they sound cool, until you go to use them and find out that they only sound cool but are really worthless. Yeah, been there, done that.
Cyberpunk actually did not have an issue on Ps4 it was people with 4k Tvs trying to make it work in 4K when the devs said 4k was not ready because they were forced to rush it out the door. And Daggerfall actually had alot of things that were timed. They were just all elements that happened in the background or were things that most of the time you didn't relize your time expired untill you became a werewolf or a vampire.
Saints Row IV decided to shake things up in the franchise by giving the player superpowers (the story makes it make sense) and I loved the new methods of traversal due to them: Super Jump and Super Speed being my go-to ways to navigate the map rather than the myriad of vehicles available. The game also offered upgrades to the various powers, but one of them I loathed because you couldn't deactivate any of them. Super Sprint's Tornado upgrade made whatever moveable object the player ran past at super speed be pulled along behind them à la Neo from Matrix Reloaded. Cool at first glance, but I hated it after I first used it because it causes vehicles to come whizzing past you as soon as you stopped, but they could hit you and damage you too. And as someone who, as previously mentioned, ran and jumped everywhere, this was the stupidest "upgrade" in my opinion. And if you thought that it could be used in a fight: no. The Tornado effect takes a couple of seconds to kick in, by which time you're already a couple of blocks away from the enemies you were fighting, rendering the tactic a one-note opener that is highly unreliable.
I’d say dauntless is a good perk(depending on MMR 3-4 star it works a lot) as compared to Dewclaw in hunt since all dewclaw does is change the bow melee from a smack with the bow to a stab with an arrow which is what the bow should just have by default
I've got one that you missed, presuming you stretch the definition of skill a little. In the game Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 for anyone non-British) you had the option of buying a voicebox for your faithful steed Steve the Ridepod. I have one word to say about this decision, DON'T. This is absolutely the worst decision you can possibly make as with this equipped he simply WILL NOT STFU and calling his mechanical voice grating is like saying shoving your face into a belt sander set on high is a little rough, oh and no, you can't mute him. As Steve will be one of your easiest ways of clearing 99% of the levels in this game (especially if you're medal hunting for speed clears) this quickly becomes pure sonic torture leading to you questioning your sanity for buying this flaming pile of dog sh*t.
Um, your Graug thing is totally wrong too. Hell, my youtube channel has video footage of me doing lots of graug related stuff on PS3 both in scripted missions & in random play. Hell, half the main missions feature a graug or white graug. There's a full DLC largely about them too. Perhaps people were confused because the places that spawn graugs are NOT guranteed spawns.
Daggerfall had lots of timed missions with limited number of days to complete. The medical skill was still useless, though. A few hours would almost never make a difference.

But probably the best mechanic/s to exploit are the alchemy/blacksmithing/enchanting ones. Where you can do a loop of potion making, blacksmithing, and enchanting until you create armor so overpowered that you become a god: to where you can dish out soo much damage that you can one-punch any enemy in the game, could fall from any height but your crazy regen stats more or less negates any damage you take, have such high sneak buffs that you could suplex an old man in the middle of town and no one will see you. It more or less breaks the game and removes any challenge from it at all as enemies can no longer hurt you due to how quickly your health recovers nor can they defend themselves as you instantly cut down even the strongest of enemies even if they are blocking to defend themselves.
In the console Fallout titles, especially in Fallout 4, you can exploit the sneaking and long range perks to become an unstoppable sniper that can pick off multiple enemies before they even have a chance to know where you are. Combined with the weapon crafting, you could build yourself one hell of a long rifle that lets you dome enemies without having to get anywhere near them. This becomes even more useful in gamemodes like Survival where damage is overall increased for everyone and everything meaning most enemies you encounter in the game aside from some of the biggest and most armored ones can all be taken out with a single well placed bullet to their brain-pan. Hell, with high enough sneaking, even enemies in Power Armor are no match for you as you can sneak up to them and pickpocket the Fusion Core right out of their suits of armor and force them out of it, leaving them vulnerable to a quick shot to the head.
If there is anything I leaned from playing Bethesda titles (Fallout/Elder Scrolls) is that usually going the sneaky/long ranged build will surely make the game laughably easy for you once you've sunk a little time into making the right build.
Hi... So top ten games that brought the feels... Games that really tugged at the heartstrings to really bring emotions into the player...
I can't believe you missed Borderlands The Pre-Sequel doppelgangers "Inspire". Using a precious skill tree point for the perk does this: Jack will occasionally monologue, at the end of which a star will travel across the screen with a rainbow trail, leaving the word "INSPIRED" behind it. This skill has no other effect on gameplay.
List Idea: Well-Designed Characters Nobody Talks About, And Why. (like Sean from Street Fighter 3)
I just want to say that your videos are the highlight of my Tuesdays. I hope you do well on your next project as well.
Watching any vid by Jules just brightens my day. Great vid as always!
I’m reminded of this one after that phase ability in Ratchet and Clank but essentially game mechanics that didn’t show up again until the end of the game
The Laser Slide from Sly 3. It only shows up at the end of the game.
Games you believe never got better after a certain iteration! Symphony of the Night was the last Castlevania game I liked, and it defined so much about Castlevania in decades to comes. I haven't liked another Castlevania game since, really, even the ones that ape SOTN. Good games objectively, but they never really got anywhere for me.
I think we would make good friends. Haha.
Honestly the Onepiece one sounds like something an anime villain would implement
I just have to say that sleeping after a head injury is actually a GOOD idea as long as the person does not have other symptoms from the injury such as dilated pupils, slurred speech, confusion, or instability while walking. Best practice after a head injury is seeing a doctor but as long as they do not show any of those signs its actually beneficial for the person to get rest. The only reason they said to not fall asleep is the whole passing out into a coma or dying is hard to notice when someone is asleep. So seek medical aid and, if cleared, sleeping is a great thing to do.
@6:44 was that a fear and loathing in las vegas quote?
Graug Hunter? Try Unhorse Strike in Two Worlds. A game that lacks any mounted enemies (to my recollection) to "unhorse".
Silly. That's just because you're not a horse and therefore can't use Horse Strike, so you have to settle for the lesser version taught to un-horses.
Not the version you were talking about but the animated Hobbit movie by Rankin-Bass is great. Way better than the live-action version and more faithful to the book. It doesn't add anything, like a pointless romance, and the only things it takes away don't really effect the story that much.
While it might not count as a skill: the Daemon Prince upgrade for Eliphas in the Chaos campaign of Dawn of War: Dark crusade actually make him weaker than he was before you take it. Mostly because it gets rid of the nine upgrades you need in order to have it available to pick in the first place.
Ooof! Relatable! I love games like Horizon Forbidden West that let you reset and re-allocate your skill points as you play to adjust to your play style and get a better stronger build.
well let's start with a few things. 1 most One piece Games are set after the time skip which means they do not have the going Mary they have the thousand sunny.2 there are a lot of spells in the First final fantasy that just don't work also I would probably throw in lancet from final fantasy 10 considering the attack is really weak unless used by Kumari and maybe also jinx I don't really know tho
8 Games we loved for everything but the Story/Campaign
Night vision with crouching in fallout 4
It makes sneaking indoors and outdoors nearly impossible since you cannot see anything around light sources and it cannot be disabled
13:00 Now wait just a damn minute!
13:02 Oh, never mind. You are absolutely correct.
I never took cult of personality in FO2 i thought about how to get sniper, slayer, and my luck to 10 to crit on a 2-20 before post game. For those who say its not possible, bull ive done it. 95% crit on melee and ranged attacks and beat the game w/o allies.
Two things:
First off, The Hobbit comment. The live action movie a few years back was pretty bad, not even gonna argue that one. But that said, I've always been a fan of the 1979 Rankin & Bass animated version. Two words: Leonard Nimoy.
Secondly, there was once a game known as "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura". As the name suggests, this was a fantasy rpg based in a magical steampunk setting. It plays much like the first two Fallout games with the top-down isometric view. Leveling up gained you points that you could spend to upgrade your stats or learn new spells, OR, to learn "schematics" which allowed you to take two random pieces of junk and combine them into things like weapons, armor, explosives, healing items, and tools. Schematics were separated into two subgroups: "learned" and "purchased", and one such purchased schematic deserves to be on the list (at least, in my opinion). "Lemon & Potato Charges", this schematic allows you to craft batteries with lemons and potatoes. Sounds great on the surface, until you wander the entire map and find only 3 lemon trees and 2 potato plants in the entire game. And no, these items do NOT "respawn" if you leave for a few in-game days/weeks/months. So paying your precious coins for the ability to make some batteries a total of about 5 times is a massive waste.

Question... Do Graugs show up in Middle-Earth:SoM for the Steam? Just checking if the game was ported from the two systems mentioned, or is one that doesn't have the problem.
Just played through it last year and they do show up on the Steam version.
Sir, you are a scholar and a philosopher. I thank your channel for brilliant content.
I don't know of any Daggerfall quests that didn't have time limits.
Am I the only one who remembers Graugs? I owned the PS3, 360, and PS4 version of the game and I saw graugs in all 3 versions...... they weren't as abundant in the PS3 and 360 as in the PS4 version but they were still there and you could ride them
The medical one is more about if the player is wanting to speed run the game or just doesn't want to sit and wait for the full health time

“Tesco branded Gollum”. Wow! 😂
The way that these skills are represented within a videogame is usually the reason why most people end up buying them, they sound cool, until you go to use them and find out that they only sound cool but are really worthless. Yeah, been there, done that.
This reminded me of the Jump ability in Ni No Kuni, but to be fair they did say it wasn't good for much so that's on me 😂
True, but you did have to get it to unlock stronger abilities.
Glitches that could be features would be a fun video.
Cyberpunk actually did not have an issue on Ps4 it was people with 4k Tvs trying to make it work in 4K when the devs said 4k was not ready because they were forced to rush it out the door. And Daggerfall actually had alot of things that were timed. They were just all elements that happened in the background or were things that most of the time you didn't relize your time expired untill you became a werewolf or a vampire.
Wahey! I got my suggestion on Tues Your Own Adventure! Jules, you legend!!
Saints Row IV decided to shake things up in the franchise by giving the player superpowers (the story makes it make sense) and I loved the new methods of traversal due to them: Super Jump and Super Speed being my go-to ways to navigate the map rather than the myriad of vehicles available.
The game also offered upgrades to the various powers, but one of them I loathed because you couldn't deactivate any of them.
Super Sprint's Tornado upgrade made whatever moveable object the player ran past at super speed be pulled along behind them à la Neo from Matrix Reloaded. Cool at first glance, but I hated it after I first used it because it causes vehicles to come whizzing past you as soon as you stopped, but they could hit you and damage you too. And as someone who, as previously mentioned, ran and jumped everywhere, this was the stupidest "upgrade" in my opinion.
And if you thought that it could be used in a fight: no. The Tornado effect takes a couple of seconds to kick in, by which time you're already a couple of blocks away from the enemies you were fighting, rendering the tactic a one-note opener that is highly unreliable.
Combat Shooting the Pendant of Wasteland as from what it sounds like I am fairly certain it was added as merely a troll.

I’d say dauntless is a good perk(depending on MMR 3-4 star it works a lot) as compared to Dewclaw in hunt since all dewclaw does is change the bow melee from a smack with the bow to a stab with an arrow which is what the bow should just have by default
I'd say that whoever proposed this perk as useless one, didn't play much Hunt or don't know how/when to use it. It's situational, but not useless.
There are so many items in the Binding of Isaac that would count, you could make a whole list out of them alone, LMAO.

No! Using dauntless correctly is GAME CHANGING! Especially when you burn an enemy and their partner uses a choke bomb to stop the fire.
I will disagree on the dauntless pick for Hunt. It has saved my teammates and my hunters many times. It is a steep learning curve tho.

I've got one that you missed, presuming you stretch the definition of skill a little. In the game Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 for anyone non-British) you had the option of buying a voicebox for your faithful steed Steve the Ridepod. I have one word to say about this decision, DON'T. This is absolutely the worst decision you can possibly make as with this equipped he simply WILL NOT STFU and calling his mechanical voice grating is like saying shoving your face into a belt sander set on high is a little rough, oh and no, you can't mute him. As Steve will be one of your easiest ways of clearing 99% of the levels in this game (especially if you're medal hunting for speed clears) this quickly becomes pure sonic torture leading to you questioning your sanity for buying this flaming pile of dog sh*t.

Every tutorial skill. Game starts, you get one point and you have to invest it into the only avaliable slot instead of the one of your choice.
Fallout 4. Cannibalism. It makes you an addict to that tasty, tasty human flesh.
Um, your Graug thing is totally wrong too. Hell, my youtube channel has video footage of me doing lots of graug related stuff on PS3 both in scripted missions & in random play. Hell, half the main missions feature a graug or white graug. There's a full DLC largely about them too.
Perhaps people were confused because the places that spawn graugs are NOT guranteed spawns.
