[@kyuubinaruto17]

Reminded me of the one from Illusion of Gaia for the SNES, where it's Russian Roulette drinking where one of the glasses is poisoned. However, because your character has a degree of psychic powers, they automatically get a bad feeling if you try to pick the poisoned glass. The stupid part comes in from the opponent, who is the reigning champion. Because of his pride, he refuses to abandon the game even when there's only one glass remaining and, obviously, dies, even though all the people watching are telling him not to do it.

[@weneedaladder8384]

​@@Alsebra old alcohol used to be way more... intense. Remember when 4Loko had to change their recipe because people would die from drinking like two of them?

[@Alsebra]

@@weneedaladder8384, Four Loko was addressed because the original version was due to the concern surrounding the combination of alcohol and caffeine being sold effectively in bulk (as compared to bars selling shots)...the alcohol content hasn't really changed, just that they had to remove the caffeine; people were more prone to overindulging in the originals because they weren't just drinking "fruit-flavored" (as most of them these days have a faint flavor of something fruit-adjacent, but not truly fruity) rocket fuel. They cut back (or completely stopped) on sales of the 95% ABV Everclear because people were getting sick or injured by drinking it while mixed with other things...but I was the guy that would drink the stuff straight with no side effects (no hangover, no grimace, nothing) with no provocation and nobody I knew at that time could explain how I was still upright while going shot-for-shot with people drinking 30-40% ABV liquors.

I'd argue recruiting Zevran in Dragon Age Origins. Assassin hired to assassinate you? Yeah, you probably shouldn't let him sleep in your camp and eat your food and watch your back. BUT he turns out to be one of the most loyal squadmates in the game.

[@tyrannicpuppy]

On my recent run through, I decided to be brutal. Killed Connor and then when we were ambushed, I put Zevran down for the first time ever in a playthrough. I already feel the regret. He's a lot of fun to have around, even if he's not a main you take with you everywhere. But, that's how I have chosen to RP this particular character. They are ruthless.

[@mygoldenwitch]

He's also a DPS powerhouse if you spec him right--and a detail that I find particularly wholesome is that in his default tactics, he is the ONLY party member whose #1 priority is to attack whatever enemy is attacking your Warden. Not even your goodest boi Mabari has that, the guy is protective af. My main/canon Warden is a city elf, so Zevran's my ride or die, never leaves my party. Part of me is salty at how dirty they did him post-Origins, especially considering the other LIs get big parts in the sequels and/or spin-off media, but another is glad they can't warp or destroy his character. And hey, at least this also makes him the only LI that is actually canonically by the Warden's side at the time of Inquisition (yes, I will take every splinter of bone thrown my way).

[@nathancarter8239]

That Volo choice, despite being weird and stupid and hard to justify within role-play, is one I made for all three of my runs, because the result is just so damned useful. Like how I always adopted Scratch, it's something you just can't do without.

[@boobah5643]

Well, Volo is (or at least _was)_ a world-renowned adventurer and explorer, and despite being human, has been doing that for centuries; he's been active since first or second edition and time has passed in Faerun to do things like add dragonborn to the setting. Edit: Point is, he's higher level than you are, and has had lots of time to pick up nifty toys and bits of knowledge.

[@insaneyoohoo]

It’s good and all, but see invisibility isn’t too hard to come by, and most the time the game isn’t brutally hard, so I just opt for the RP choice of not doing it. It’s way too rough to justify for literally any character doing it lol, and there really should be an additional debuff to it for being so stupid xD

[@Alsebra]

​​@@insaneyoohoo, See Invisibility may be accessible from multiple sources, but how many of them are innate (thereby not taking up a gear slot) and at-will (not a charged item, spell, or limited-use item)? To be fair, though, you could RP your character as willing to do whatever it took to remove the tadpole...even getting uncredited surgery from the world's worst charlatan.

[@insaneyoohoo]

@@Alsebra I don't mean to say it's not useful or one of a kind, but many casters have see invisibility as a 2nd level slot, which is fairly insignificant, plus scrolls and potions which all last until a long rest. On top of invisible enemies being quite rare anyway. I just don't think the fairly niche, if not very rare item, is quite worth the strange RP decision to mutilate your character, albeit a very funny one. And yeah, I suppose I can see it being a desperate option for a character, but if you're willing to go the potential lobotomy route, then just dive head first off an elevation into a rock, and hope that works lol. But I do appreciate the idea of being so desperate someone would let Volo of all people do pseudo surgery on them with an ice pick, maybe as my next barbarian character xD

[@PhoenixNorthstar]

OK, but hear me out in this one. Three facts most intelligent (or at least educated) characters would know, as they are common knowledge amoungst academic circles. 1. Volothamp "Volo" Geddarm is an academic who has written and published several books on monster behaviour and anatomy, alongside books on the magic, history and geography of the realms. 2. Volo is a known associate (and it is believed a former student) of the Archmage Elminster, one of the most powerful mortal beings in all of Toril. 3. Elminster is one of the few publicly known leaders of a group called The Harpers, a secret society of powerful adventurers who pose as travelling entertainers in order to hunt down threats to the realm. With his association to Elminster, his garish costume, and attempts at trying to be an entertainer, you could assume Volo is a Harper in disguise and is therefore more competent than he appears (he isn't a Harper or competent, but it is a logical assumption). Now as players with access to outside meta-knowledge we know he's a second rate Wizard who gets most of his information from tall stories told by drunken adventurers in bars and that his interactions with Elminster are mostly the latter calling out Volo on all the BS he writes, but that's information most characters wouldn't have unlike the three points listed above, which most academics would know.

[@gatherer818]

I mean, before those we found roast chicken in the walls of an ancient vampire's castle, so... already kinda used to eating definitely sketchy foods.

[@DefendYoungstown]

Another thing about the Snake Eater food thing is how some of the ones Snake finds verbally disgusting (not poisonous, though) and only heals minimal health potentially become more tolerable to him over time and give more health if you eat enough of it. In a mechanic similar to the health tracker that lists all of Snake's injuries on a playthrough, or that *other thing* that could make your run in with The Sorrow a cake walk or a frustrating time sink, the foods you eat are tallied on a run as well, and _some_ of the foods actually can become an acquired taste if you power past him screaming about it tasting gross the first few times.

[@maryannclementiii-uw5pk]

[@rickhealey4231]

A classic one is the battle against Rubicante in Final Fantasy 4. He's the Fiend of Fire (or Archfiend, or Autarch, depending on which version you play). He's red, wearing bright red outfits with a fancy red cape, and his attacks are pretty much all fire-based. You don't have to be a veteran of JRPGs to think "using fire magic against this guy would be a bad idea." And yet, it's oddly a great idea in all phases of the fight. See, Rubicante is a big believer in a fair fight. If you hit him when his cape is down with even the weakest fire attack in the game, yes, you'll heal him a pittance, but he insists on responding in kind, throwing a strong heal back onto your entire party. But when he pulls his cape up, his elemental affinities flip, and he somehow becomes weak to fire attacks.

In FFXIV's Alliance Raid The Weeping City of Mhach, the second boss Forgall occasionally cats Necropurge which produces large green orbs around the fighting arena that after a period of time explode into AoE's that inflict 1 stack of Gradual Zombification per AoE you stand in. If you get too many you turn into a zombie for about 30 seconds, attacking other raids members. If however you get one stack you are protected from Forgall's Megadeath spell. The issue is that the first two times he casts Necropurge there is no Megadeath follow up, so you need to avoid those overs entirely.

[@boobah5643]

And avoiding those extraneous necropurges allows the debuff to time out, so you don't get multiple stacks.

On the subject of seemingly stupid things, hunting down the body of an executed heretic in Ishgard in FFXIV. Ishgard being the city of religious dogma up to and including being ruled by a bishop with dubious morality. Track down the corpse and you unlock the Dark Knight job, one of the game's Tank classes, and the best written job quests in the entire game! And all you have to do is risk execution as a heretic...

As a matter of fact I do enjoy pizza for breakfast. Nothing better than a day old pizza in the morning.

[@dasetman]

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe you can escape the falling ceiling room in RE1, even in the clip at 19:30, you can see Jill look back on the door as the lock clicks. Chris just dies, and Barry saves Jill unless you've already had assistance from Barry elsewhere.

Kinda love the screw up with the censorship in entry #2. We can still hear you saying the f-word, Andy. So many times. 😆

[@oxfanblink4115]

It’s not the only time. Jane and Mike has had swearing accidentally left in these weekly lists as well 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Ashley6100]

Doing it once is a screw up. Doing it three times in a row is absolutely deliberate

[@Qalamari]

Eating those mushrooms could still be considered a poor decision, even though they do charge your batteries. Throwing them on the ground during the Volgin fight dampens his electric attacks. They're fairly uncommon, so eating them may not be the best use of resources, especially if you're trying to take Volgin out non lethally.

[@gheefreak]

Wait, Volo? Like Volo's Guides? I mean, he's pretty well travelled and experienced. It doesn't sound like that absolute worst plan, does it?

[@someguy1ification]

If you actually read the guides, tho...

[@jorvach9874]

Volo is also in Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir. In the opening he colossally screws up negotiating with a tribe of jungle goblins, after boasting about his diplomatic skills, naturally. One memorable part is when he asks if he can join their feast, and the goblins say "Want have YOU for meat!". Basically he almost offers himself as the main dish.

[@Alsebra]

Just because he's written a few guides and appears to be a man of the world, it's more likely out of necessity as a wannabe charlatan. Is he traveling the world for the sheer joy of it or is it because he's staying ahead of angry "victims"/the law? He'll never tell.

[@boobah5643]

@@Alsebra Dude's been doing it for _centuries._ He's picked up a thing or two.

[@adelaideharper9201]

Volo is a century + old wizard by this point with many magical secrets. He is friends with Elminster, among other major magical figures. Despite his presentation, he's actually an extremely competent guy. It's all part of the show. His guides are controversial but not so controversial that Elminster himself didn't opt to edit and preface them.

[@m.3.3.w]

That Bard's Leap summit reminds me of the earlier days playing Everquest 1 and getting the Paladin's Epic 1.0. I think it was in The Hole, past Tox Forest. Anyway, as a young pally, I realized I could not get through that rough zone without a rogue (to unlock the doors etc). Once we got to a waterfall where we had to jump down, etc, (which there was a small pool that you wouldn't die in if you landed) I "divine aura'd" (invinciblity for 15s) and jumped down making it safetly. The poor rogue on the other hand jumped, missed the small pool and landed on pure asphalt. Died immediately. I, of course, couldn't resist laughing so hard at that for a solid 30minutes. I could never forget that even now.

[@calvinbarbanell2449]

One really good example of this is from In Stars and Time. At the start of Act 5, the player character decides to be as much of an asshole as possible to every other important character, individually, and then go to fight the entirety of the final dungeon, boss fight included, on his own, which ends up actually solving the central conflict of the story.

[@stardustpie1992]

To be fair, the game pretty much forces you to by making Isabeau’s dialogue keep looping (no pun intended) so you have no choice but to zone out.

[@LegendStormcrow]

I always loved the Snake Eater 3 food conversations. Especially the one where you ate the glowcaps. In the words of Big Boss, "gow does it taste."

[@maries1993]

Literally played FFX for the first time just a month ago, and I could not get past that fight for the life of me. Finally decided to look for advice online and could not believe that staying a zombie was somehow the right way to go.

Choosing "Don't Dodge" during that one moment in Mermaid Swamp. I haven't seen all of Mermaid Swamp's remake/remaster, but I'm assuming that turn of events still happens.

[@mantis638]

I’d like to bring up letting a mutant spider bite Mary Jane in 60 seconds.

[@TheLastGarou]

The thing most people (and most ESPECIALLY Volo) don't know, is that he's actually the Chosen Champion of Tymora, the Goddess of Luck. The few people who DO know (such as Elminster) go to no small amount of effort to make sure he never finds out. And because, of course, luck works best when you don't rely on it, Volo has spent his entire life bumbling from on misadventure to the next, being "miraculously" saved by passing Adventurers. 😆

[@Rik3n]

Bard's Leap was a great choice. I didn't expect anything making the jump, but getting the points was a cool bonus. Also, can confirm that fighting Yunalesca was a pain. Back when it first came out and we rented it, I was still stuck in the middle of her zombie-full heal cycle of death when I had to return the game. Even with that, it was still one of my favorite games.

[@connordaniels765]

That bleep covered nothing 😂 5 times!! Love you guys!!!

I mean dying multiple times in Elden Ring is justified. To progress a story quest? Yeah I don’t need those runes anyways.

[@pyrosnineActual]

To be Fair, Volo's method would have worked if it wasn't a magic super plot tadpole. Though the fact it didn't transform you immediately was because it's a magic super plot tadpole, so eh, eh.

[@stardustpie1992]

Hatoful Boyfriend does this, surprisingly enough. If you want to unlock the hidden Bad Boys Love route and learn the full backstory of the game, you have to get the true ending for all of the love interests’ routes. Yes, that includes the love interest that you quickly learn is sketchy as all heck.

[@noob1n8or]

Cave Story. There's a point in the game where you see Professor Booster teleport into the room you're in and fall down a pit. If you go down and help him he gives you a jetpack and then dies, which also locks you into the bad ending. If you want him to live so you can get the games best ending you have to ignore him and jump over the pit. He'll eventually get out on his own, complete his work on the jetpack he would have given you if you followed him and then give it to you later in the game. There are still a few other ways to lock yourself out of the best ending, but leaving one of your allies to die is the most counterintuitive step in reaching that ending.

[@graywolfdracon]

I'm actually replaying FFX yet again and just got to Zanarkand. I'm doing some level grinding before facing the cloister of trials while watching this video. So imagine my surprise when the FFX entry came on...

Jill can actually die in that room as Barry is not guaranteed to show up.

[@IsMgb45]

On Metal Slug 3, the stay a zombie strategy also works during Mission 2 - 1 Boss battle: while zombiefied, we are indeed slower and lose any pick up weapon we preaviously had, but our granades become something else, in wich we launch a projectile blood vomit that deals massive damage to the enemies and covers a good screen area

[@tripplec6798]

Core Keeper crystal meteor: you can find a meteor in the desert biome of the caves and just getting near it will give you radiation that slowly kills you. If you are stubborn enough to endure the slow death you can mine the meteor for a chunk of it. The chunk can be carried around and while it debuffs your defense it makes you and your allies attack stronger along with giving off a decent amount of light. Oh and the item description says you are suffering from radiation poisoning still as long as you hold it.

[@bizzybee3021]

7:04 i never knew that. I said it to the robot and never thought about it again. Thank you.

[@Thrythlind]

Remaining anywhere within five miles of Volo is a potentially fatal decision. I swear, that guy is responsible for as many deaths as many villains due to his sheer arrogance and incompetence. He appears in many, many adventures on tabletop and computer going back to at least the 2nd edition of the game... maybe 1st edition.... and his presence is always BAD news.

[@darkmetalscorpian]

And yet the goddess of magic can't exist without him, so no matter how bad he screws up other people he's guaranteed to live.

[@Thrythlind]

@@darkmetalscorpian even worse... that's not a decision by the current goddess of Magic. That's the Mystra from before Midnight took on the name and job. So she's stuck with her predecessors poor taste in Chosen. Granted, some of the other Chosen are the Seven Sisters and Kelemvor... so sometimes she made good choices. That said... the sisters are basically Mystra's daughters... so not sure we can thank her judgment for them turning out mostly well.

[@boobah5643]

@@Thrythlind I think you've confused Kelemvor (who was some scruffy, cursed mercenary when _that_ Mystra was still alive and eventually ended up Judge of the Dead) and Khelben, the Blackstaff, mage of Waterdeep (and, IIRC, Elminster's one-time apprentice.)

I'm surprises Legion's recruitment in Mass Effect 2 wasn't mentioned. We found Legion on a derelict reaper. With the indoctrination and huskification of everyone onboard fresh in our minds, we take an inert but undamaged geth platform, a known tool of the reapers, and place it in the core of the HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED AI built into the ship. Legion is super cool, but if they had been hostile. If they had been indoctrinated, things could have easily gone very badly.
