<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="372">6:12</a> A much cheaper way for the loop in Skyrim is: 1. get a piece of Fortify Alchemy gear (the more pieces of gear you have, the faster this loop works), put it on 2. brew Fortify Restoration potion 3. remove alchemy gear 4. chug potion 5. put on alchemy gear, brew another fortify restoration potion 6. loop 3, 4, 5 until your fortify restoration potions are as powerful as you want 7. brew a lot of the strong restoration potions and save them so you don't have to do the restoration loop again 8. brew some really strong fortify enchanting and fortify smithing potions 9. chug a smithing potion and improve your gear at the smithing stations 10. chug enchanting potion, enchant an item

[@johnnguyen9136]

@@StellarCosmic1 You may or may not need to keep writing a few more poems and interacting with the girls. But to be completely honest, the first act is literally just getting to know the characters so of course it's going to take time to open up, I'm not quite sure how you can play this game and now at least get interested in the characters at the moment

[@midwestyle]

Kingdoms of Amaleur. If you invest into your blacksmithing and sagecrafting skills, you can turn your character into an elemental, self healing power tank capable of everything in that world before even halfway thru the game.

Hey Falcon, you missed „Hitman: World of Assassination“. The world is litterally your weapon there: The amount of freedom that comes with breaking the game is enormous. From launching objects with explosions into restricted areas to abusing npc routines and do unintended lures; it‘s all in there. Maybe for a Part 2? Agree on „Talos Principle“: Found myself solving some puzzles by breaking them and sneaking extra tools from other rooms in more than once.

The enchantment thing has been going on since at least Morrowind. I did this back then, and got stuck "flying", until I could get to a place where I could sleep for several in-game weeks. It's honestly the coolest elements of games when you can exploit systems like that, since it's completely unintuitive for most people to think to do that, then when you do it completely opens up whole new ways of playing the games. And Symphony of the night is essentially the defining masterpiece for all Metroidvania's, it's a near perfect game if you like that genre.

[@XxTheCrimsonRoguexX]

The big pharma trick in bravely default is a really fun early game infinite money maker. Paired with auto attack, you can come back later to more gold than you’ll know what to do with.

You think Skyrim is an example of how broken a Bethesda game can be. You should try Morrowind;).

Morrowind is factually the only game in history that released with zero bugs

[@alanbauer4868]

Any Zachtronics game, but Opus Magnum in particular. It is designed to let you do whatever you want to solve each puzzle. So break things to optimize, break things to do it in as small as possible, etc. And the game softly encourages you to try to one up yourself by displaying how well you did to the rest of the world.

Running around, with 99999 armor boots, only with boots and maybe iconic Dragonborn helmet gives 99999 healing and a metal stick hits 9999999 and traps people souls in to gems. And putting every npc in gems and show them of in your apartment was fun

I think the lucha libre outfit in tears of the Kingdom is more game-breaking than the zonai devices. When upgraded you get a 1.5 attack bonus for using bone weapons. This stacks with the 1.5 attack bonus from food. This is really good for the gibdo fuse item hen you use a bow That shoots multiple arrows. It's even better with the giant boomerang which Not only hits an enemy twice, thrown items do 1.5 * damage. The once you attach moldugas jaw. You have an extremely good early weapon, that's pretty easy to get.

[@人参コウゲキ]

SOTN was one of the few games that I discovered a lot of the secrets myself because I would spend hours checking every pixel and experimenting with stuff because I realized early on how much hidden stuff there was. The hidden meat at the very beginning was a nice homage to games past. But that was the tip of the iceberg of secrets in that game. There was just something about that game that made me want to find all the secrets. Most games can’t hold me captive beyond 40-60 or so hours to complete it and find some hidden stuff. SOTN secrets were like crack for me😂.

[@sikevillain]

I loved doing skips in Metroid Dread.. so much fun getting certain abilities & Power Suits earlier than usual then getting around the environment in different ways was truly a fantastic experience 🎮 🔥🔥

Atelier Ryza is a good example. The series is based around crafting (alchemy), but its fairly easy to exploit to craft items back into themselves repeatedly and basically become a god with all level 999 equipment with the best abilities.

[@Helikaeon]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="771">12:51</a> one of the only mainstream content creators, you'll see give this game its proper dues. If you wanna learn the REEEALLY insane stuff, give Dr4gonblitz a look up, this game has some truly ridiculous ways to break it that speedrunners have found 🤣 Fun little easter egg: try wearing the full "Alucart" set, not the Alucard but the fake family heirlooms, once you're wearing the full set check your "Status" in the character screen :)

[@C-M-E]

Tears is not only the best game on this list to break, but feels like it was tailor made to be broken in the best way possible. The only limiting factor is your creativity. Even puzzles can be broken, like the teetering ball ones. Rather than follow the path by wiggling the platform to follow the path, I turned the wife's controller upside down and turned the platform over, then rolled a ball over the back and flipped it into a target like pinball. Turned the infamous 20 minute puzzle into a 30 second solve.

[@trich742]

Gears tactics and Mass Effect Andromeda could make the list. With gears I once made an extremely OP character who basically had their grenade every turn and it did crazy damage. Then with Mass Effect Andromeda, you can craft some crazy OP guns. My favorite was the N7 Valkyrie. Make it full auto, give it a recharge core instead of ammo, and convert it to a laser and it literally melted bosses.

[@TheZoenGaming]

You're forgetting the "sneak, quaff invisibility potion, pickpocket to put a paralyzing and poisonous health potion into someone's inventory, then quaff an invisibility potion" hack: You need to have the Poisoned perk. Next, create a Fortify Sneak potion/enchanted item with a ridiculously high sneak buff using the alchemy hack, a bunch of invisibility potions, then create potions with a small healing value, a high paralysis and a high poison value, then put it in a victem's pockets while sneaking. They will immediately drink the potion and be poisoned and paralyzed, meaning they can't detect you and are losing health rapidly, immediately drink another invisibility potion and repeat with the -victim- enemy. The Muffle spell, Muffled Movement and Silence perks, and light armor will make you even more undetectable.

[@KageKouin]

You missed Rogue Genesia, it's still in development but when one of its acheivements is called "Not a bug, just a feature" you know they want you to break it. I have broken it several ways.

[@HanaNoMaude]

A lot of great JRPGs let you power level your party into near godhood and Star Ocean 2 (second story R re release especially) is a fantastic example because of how the abilities in that game work. Feels amazing to basically take the game logic and snap it over your knee like a feeble twig even though obviously, the devs put all those busted abilities in there to begin with. Just a fun and satisfying reward for players who know how to capitalize on the systems!

[@saviordream]

I haven't played it yet, but I've heard that the Star Ocean 2 remake can be broken quite heavily depending on the skills you choose.

[@damianrieck4832]

Wish I still had my old 360. I had an iron sword that was one shotting legendary dragons. I'm one of those who has always had skyrim. Played it since day one. Easily 3000 plus hours into it. Not abusing Skyrims mechanics should be a sin you have to repent for until you meet your maker.

[@Gemmasis]

In Dragon Age: Inquisition there was much hype about how OP you could make the Rogue’s in that game, but actually you could make a 2h warrior so OP it could rival any Rogue in damage output! With the right skills, weapon, armour, max strength, accessories, masterworks and of course choosing the Champion specialisation, you can create an unkillable Inquisitor. Even on Nightmare + Trials, you can break the game easily and become untouchable at level seven. With my build, the last time I took any damage was at level 1 on Nightmare + Trials and I’m now at level 23 and he still hasn’t taken any damage whatsoever. Wether BioWare intended it to be that way or not, it’s still pretty awesome to slay a high dragon in seconds!

[@Pyrosage2009]

You don't even have to go that far in skyrim, turns out that fortify potions go exponential on their own; all you need to do is craft a few fortify alchemy potions, chug them back to back, and each new fortify potion is multiplied by the previous ones; so once you chug 10-20 fortify alchemy potions then you make the fortify enchantment and fortify blacksmithing potions and the go craft all your combat gear,
