You need to train hard to overcome lactose intolerance.

[@jbluewind4727]

As someone who has a really bad whey allergy, I can tell you that it's a pain to watch out for, but there are a lot of really good substitutes for most things. You just have to try a lot of different brands. For example: Ben & Jerry's dairy free icecream is fantastic just as good as their regular (according to my friends who have tried it). Worried about the bread? Grab a tortilla instead! Vegan recipes and tips can give you inspiration and looking up vegan foodstuffs can make shopping a lot easier (because just looking up dairy free tends to give very limited results).

The Skyrim paying off guards need you to be in the Thieves Guild because it removes the bounty entirely. if you just paid off the guard, the next guard would arrest you. But since you're in the guild, you have the connections so the guard will ensure the bounties removed.

Ok but, Pokemon. For example, your FLYING TYPE pokemon still needs to learn how to FLY, and can't even do it by leveling up - only via special HM tutoring o-o. Not to mention, your pokemon, even one that is LITERALLY A SWORD, can't cut a weedy sapling in two without specifically leaning Cut - again, via HM.

Umm, you know that some newly hatched flying type creatures in the real world (aka birds) can't fly either and have to practise?

[@CosmicPlatonix]

Well, if you want to get technical about it, the move Fly makes total sense for any Flying-type to have to learn by special means as it not only allows the user to fly in the air, but also to execute a two-turn dive-bomb attack in battle and safely carry a human through the air for several miles out of battle. Surf and Dig are similarly a lot more than just how to swim in water or dig through dirt, when you look at what the moves can actually accomplish. Cut is still freakin' dumb, though.

Dude, that Skyrim part is pretty reasonable. Bribing a cop, or in this case a guard, is NOT that easy. The Guild has power and reputation, even if it's not at it's peak, it is still a decent threat and has it's connections, so taking bribery from them is one thing, since the guards DON'T want to mess with them yet. But if some random guy from literally nowhere shows up, starts committing crimes and just hands over hush-money to the guards, well, if they accept it, then the city really has fallen.

Picking flowers in The Witcher. The second time I started the game I had forgotten that herbalism had to be unlocked and ran around the Outskirts panicking, thinking I had some sort of bug. I can buy having to read books to recognize the substances each plant contains because of the convenient amnesia thing but that shouldn't affect your abilities to actually interact with your surroundings. Or at least have Vesemir tell him at the beginning that "Hey, you know how you can harvest ingredients from monster corpses? The same goes for plants."

[@marhawkman303]

yeah, there's loads of games where you can collect crafting ingredients you have no real use for.

[@miciso666]

well i mean if u dont know the plants why would u bother picking them? let alone pick a dangerous flower and possibly die... in runescape picking nettle's for nettle tea damaged ur ass unless someone told you u had to wear gloves and only gloves worked to pick these up :D once i learned this i was so happy and sold the tea to people because it was a good source of hp regen

[@ankhefenra]

Well, Geralt does scoop out drowner brains to make extremely poisonous potions, so I don't really see why he'd be afraid of some barberries. And even if you read books and chat with knowledgeable old grannies, without the skill Geralt can't even pick up plants he knows.Basically, Geralt looks at a plant and thinks: "Hm, I know this one, but how do I get it out of the ground? That old hag didn't say anything about that. I guess I'll go to some merchant to spend all the orens I don't have." *learns skill* "Oh, wait, if I put my fingers around the stalk here and snap it like this... Hey, this is working!"

[@froggy937]

ankhefenra still not played that game lol

[@chrisrudolf9839]

I think it is not so much the physical act of picking the plant itself than knowing which plant to pick (in reality, you'd just have a big prarie full of different flowers and would have to actively search for ones that had any use, unless you'd want to spent howers to pluck yourself essentially a bündle of hay) and the knowledge how to preserve the plant parts.

To be honest...that only jumping off of ledges thing makes sense. He is carrying weapons and is prepared to fight...you do NOT jump in combat unless you are honestly trying to get attacked. Once airborne, you are a sitting duck unable to defend yourself. I love sparring against people that try to get fancy and jump for any reason...it's a great way to end up on the ground in pain as your opponent can dodge or block your attack and use that attack to send you flying.

In tales of vesperia, there's a side quest fairly close to the end of the game involving Judith learning an ancient battle arte.

The characters even acknowledge that it's really simple.

That's nothing, how about teaching flying type Pokemon Fly, or water types Surf? You could argue that the HMs just teach the Pokemon how to do it safely with you on their backs, until you realize that nor can they use the offensive move of flying into the sky and dive-bombing their opponent on their own until you slap the HM onto them.

[@eoincampbell1584]

The Prototype example kind of makes sense to some extent; it takes a lot of work on your part to do a lot of damage, get all the soldiers good and afraid of you, and *really* wanting to put an end to you.

In prototype you can only accuse others randomly with no indication they really are you, because by then they are adequately paranoid enough. Earlier they wouldn't believe you unless the person was doing something suspicious like running up the side of a building.

[@EdMarshall]

Final Fantasy had some good ones. Teaching your squires how to throw a rock in Tactics, Ramza learning how to yell at himself, unlocking the ability to cheer in FFX. If I remember correctly, you had to learn how to get off of your skateboard in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, as if your character spent his entire life, up to that point, on a skateboard haha.

[@onijester56]

The main thing to note is that most of these are practical mechanical upgrades to basic non-programmed actions. Milk in Skyrim gives a time-lapsed mana regeneration, and thus to benefit from it (the only benefit it gives in-game) you must be of a level wherein you definitively have a mana pool. This goes to the Okami "Golden Fury" (boosting reward drop-rates, making it magical piss) and "Brown Rage" (a literal bomb, making it magical shit). And even the Assassin's Creed and Prototype skills...the "teaching"/"unlocking" is mapping the action to a button in the former case, while the latter demonstrates you convincingly making the accusation such that other patrols accept your claim instead of, say, shooting you. (Which if the game allowed people to do before unlocking the skill would almost absolutely result in instant-death...unless the game took a Fallout 3/New Vegas skill-leveling system...but then the skill itself wouldn't have to be locked.) And this also carries to American Wasteland...where the purpose isn't to "get off" but to apply the on/off aspect into your maneuvers and tricks and techniques and combos. It's actually explicitly spelled out in the game that this is what's going on, even more-so since cut-scenes have you explicitly off of your board and thus you clearly are able to get off and on before "learning" that "skill". Hence why literally immediately after being given the buttons to press you are tasked to walk, and then jump into a grind on the nearby rope.

The bribing in Skyrim - You don't have to join thieves guild, but doing so will allow you to actually erase the bounty for half the cost (actually), rather than just pay off guard to ignore it for a while, for a way bigger ammount of gold, which the speech perk does. It actually makes a lot of sence. It's easy to bribe your colleague at work, but it takes some incredible balls and persuation to actually bribe an officer. And I mean the thieves guild... It's a bit complicated for a comment under a youtube video. The thing about it is that though, that you don't gain the ability to bribe the guards, but you're making the thieves guild more influential in the hold, which gives you the ability to bribe the guards that have some sort of over complicated deal with the guild.

In Wario Land 3, you start off being unable to do things like swimming, picking up items and enemies and throwing them, destroying undamaged blocks or doing a smash attack. You only get these abilities by collecting specific mandatory treasures throughout the game. Most of these wouldn't be noteworthy if it wasn't for the fact that you could easily do all of this stuff in the previous games without having to unlock them. Maybe Wario got crippled in the plane crash at the start of the game?

Cow milk, no matter how "less than ideal" people are starting to relentlessly bash it for, it tastes good and it's the only milk that makes my coffee taste better instead of ruining it; If you know about a brand that milks human tits, you're all welcome to tell me but, until then, cow milk it is.

The mastery of the bribe makes sense. You have to know how to talk to whoever your bribing, or perhaps know someone who knows who your bribing that has clout in there political sector, or is in good standing with him or her. These things can save you from a night in the dungeon or worse the guard deciding to take all of your gold just because. In a game and in real life I see bribery as something that takes skill to master.

[@cxx23]

Was going to comment this and a few others. Thanks!

[@Gamer3427]

It's also a bit justified in Skyrim, in that if I remember correctly, you can only bribe in areas where the Thieve's Guild has some influence. It's less that you don't know how to bribe someone, as much as it is that being in the Thieve's Guild and spreading their influence to the various holds, corrupts the guards to be more willing to accept bribes in the first place because they know you have friends in low places......

[@seanbryant8407]

and when youre the master of the guild and the brotherhood, the guards really don't want trouble. also props for actually stealing the gold back lol.

In defence of Prototype, the Patsy skill pretty much makes you impossible to detect in covert missions once you unlock it.

That makes a little sense. It's not always as simple as giving them money, you may also have to convince them that taking money from a stranger is a good idea and worth the potential trouble they could get into for it later.

[@sam-psonsmith9951]

it's not just that. the game actually explains, why you couldn't do that before. if you are part of the thiefs guild, you can tell the guards, and that only is the reason why they offer the option of a bribe. the guild is quite powerful, and they know that. to take a bribe from some low life trash thief, means to risk their position. but a member of the thiefs guild has influence, friends, and most importantly, knows how to keep a secret. (of course any low life thief could claim he is with the guild. true.)

I agree with all except the last one. I'd imagine it'd take at least a little bit of knowing what you're doing to convince a guard to accept the bribe. I mean, they are guards, they have to have some integrity, and even if they don't they still have to feel sure you won't rat them out before they'd take the money.

[@tirsden]

That and I got the impression the guards were corrupted specifically by the thieves guild, especially in Riften. So before you join the guild, the guards could really care less who you are and will happily own your face for breaking the law. Once you join, you're sort-of-vaguely "one of them" or at least associated with the same shady associates, so bribes actually make a difference.
