7 Things All Gamers Do That Make No Sense Whatsoever

[@elbacano]

One of my favorites is, especially in RPGs, asking the same person the same question multiple times to see if they give you any new dialogue.

[@facelessevolution852]

Not using the best offensive/recovery items during the final boss stage before the inevitable end of the game because, you know, I might really need them "later".

[@einstin2]

I mean that makes more sense in the real world than in game. Why would i use ALL my potions before the final boss fight? Even if i win and the world is saved, there are random bands of lunatics who will try to rob me every hundred feet. I might need the potions for that!

[@RobertNicholas]

The final boss stage?... What about every fight/boss stage. That feeling of "I'll hold onto that for later?"...

[@Wogle]

I actually have a very simple one: Running/sprinting everywhere. If you saw someone dressed normally just sprinting between every single shop, or up and down the street, you'd probably be a bit on edge.

[@INFPeace-]

Exactly what I was thinking! 😂

[@Erhannis]

I've actually considered doing that - save transit time and what not. It's just...so much more tiring in real life. Imagine if sprinting in a game made you tired for real, or getting hit actually hurt. I'd probably mysteriously spend more time admiring the scenery...or playing puzzle games.

[@quietdignityandgrace]

Tuck and Roll everywhere. Sometimes faster than sprinting.

[@gooma7942]

Even just jogging

[@gamebook727]

Yeah, I often actually do this in real life if I have to walk to somewhere. I get impatient and I am very fit.

[@Chishannicon]

To go along with the "wearing the best armor" entry, how about the way we just change our clothes out in the open in games? Imagine carrying around your entire wardrobe with you all the time and removing/putting on clothing whenever you feel like it, wherever you happen to be.

[@springer1786]

I've just realised the jumping habit in games comes from the lack of stepping ability. Those ankle-high walls and ledges would be fine in reality, but in games the only way I can gain any vertical movement is by lifting my entire body off the ground and hoping there's not a much higher, much more invisible wall above the tiny wall I can see.

[@darcieclements4880]

Well that and the weirdly high number of games where continuously jumping is faster than running.

Can't forget when you glitch the game when speed running. As you run into a wall and phase through it. The NPCs will think what you're doing looks ridiculous, but also will be terrified seeing you go through the wall.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Oh, look up Viva la Dirt League's "The truth about fast travel"... 😂

Subverted in Skyrim, wherein it will be a different time of day if you fast-travel somewhere, and potions on a time limit which increase your carrying capacity will have worn off during the “instant” travel because it wasn’t *actually* instant travel

[@ZianaSue]

This ties in with the jumping: Finding the tallest thing/building in the game and jumping off it just to see if the game lets you, and to check for fall damage.

[@gwts1171]

In Dark Souls there's a vase that I smash every time I go by it, even though I know there's nothing in it. It's right by Firelink, so I go by it a lot, too (at the bottom of the stairs, just before the lift that brings you to New Londo). It seems almost personal at this point.

I seem to remember that, in Oblivion, if you just jumped while you were traveling, then you'd gain jumping experience points toward leveling up. Does that sound right?

[@SethÚasarune]

'Acrobatics'

[@persephoneunderground845]

Yep- Morrowind too. It was a nice way to get a multiplier on level-up for your Agility stat if you just bounced everywhere to level up Acrobatics. Starting a new character who ran slowly and couldn't jump as high as you were used to always felt weird :p

[@13thNobodyprod.]

oh yeah, you just reminded me. In Cyberpunk I use my dash and double jump to traverse the city. It's fun when it feels like Mirrors Edge, but also it gets your Shinobi skill up. I like that, I like that a lot.

[@megaflare23ka]

Being short, i do actually jump a lot more than most people. Gotta get things out of my reach some how lol

[@darcieclements4880]

It's worth noting that being shorter makes one a little bit more athletic and the active jumping easier too. I miss when I was a child and small enough to jump freely.

[@rebeccabriggs9452]

I usually just get creative! Bottle of pop on the top shelf? Time to find the nearest stick, or failing that, a different bottle of pop to help me guide it to the edge of the shelf.

[@nolankuffner3573]

Side note, I LOVE when a game programs NPCs to react to my home looting and entering. It's pretty aggressive in the Witcher 3, or a tad humorous in certain retro RPGs, but whenever it happens, it adds so much to the game.

[@psudodrake]

#1 - Bethesda knows that people jump all the time to the point where one of the perks you can pick up at character creation for Starfield gives you bennefits for jumping all the time in the shape of a boon that enhances combat and exploration

[@BlackMaleLion]

Someone else brought up changing your clothes anywhere (which never crossed my mind until I saw that comment). I do have a few of my own: 1: preforming a hard save right after an auto save and/or spamming the save button 2: walking on tables (especially when at least one other person (NPC or player character) is eating at said table) 3: entering other people’s homes uninvited period (a lot of video games, including RPGs, have it programmed into them by the developers)

[@digiing1992]

Oh, I have one: Whenever the NPCs see a mob of enemies chasing the MC for nth time after the MC foolishly had to step into an area that's above their skill, run into their village/city just to de-aggro them.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

That would actually look less weird in real life - if someone chases you with the intention to beat you up or kill you, running towards a crowded area where you might get help or the attacker might not follow you because they wouldn't want to do it in front of witnesses is often a good idea. Though I guess it would look very weird if you then turned around to follow the killer and try if you can beat him and then run back to the crowded area a second time.

[@digiing1992]

That's why I wrote "...for the nth time..." there.

[@13thNobodyprod.]

Multi saving. Not doing it has never screwed me over in the past or traumatized me. Nor do I have ADHD or similar. But I always find myself saving... and then immediately after questioning if I saved or not, and do it again, before quiting the game.

Falls under the excessive jumping category, but sprinting everywhere. It’s ridiculous as a concept enough when you have a stamina bar/sprint meter, but the ridiculousness gets cranked to 11 when there is no stamina drain or bar for sprinting. The residents of Kamuro-cho must think Kiryu is a madman in a hurry when they see him running through the streets at full sprint, only to pause to catch his breath, after leaving the beef bowl shop to go to the batting cages.

In most games then your character is seen as always winning and doing “the right thing” because of the save system. An npc could be with you see something completely new and then you, the player, just “effortlessly” beat it. Or as a big bad in something like Resident evil, turning into some giant monster as a last ditch effort and they just dodge all of the attacks not even you knew where going to hit.
