Console RPG Clichés 73 to 96 / int_4c709317	comment	Magical Inequality Theorem: In the course of your travels you may find useful-sounding spells such as Petrify, Silence, and Instant Death. However, you will end up never using these spells in combat because a) all ordinary enemies can be killed with a few normal attacks, making fancy attacks unnecessary, b) all bosses and other stronger-than-average monsters are immune to those effects so there's no point in using them for long fights where they'd actually come in handy, and c) the spells usually don't work anyway.

Console RPG Clichés 73 to 96 / int_4daeb0b9	comment	Law of Numbers: There will be several items or effects which depend on the numerical value of your hit points, level, etc., which makes no sense unless the characters can see all the numbers in their world and find it perfectly normal that a spell only works on a monster whose level is a multiple of 5.

When you get to anywhere, the people on the street are already talking about where you've been. The stories of your past experiences will spread even if no witnesses were around to see them.

People, animals, plants, insects, fire hydrants, small cottages, anything and everything is just plain out to get you. It may be because of your rampant kleptomania (see Garrett's Principle.)

But that's just you. Every other character in the game seems to have no trouble getting to any place in the world on a moment's notice.

Console RPG Clichés 73 to 96 / int_cfd569ac	comment	Franklin Covey Was Wrong, Wrong, Wrong: Sticking to the task at hand and going directly from place to place and goal to goal is always a bad idea, and may even prevent you from being able to finish the game. It's by dawdling around, completing side quests and giving money to derelicts that you come into your real power.

Console RPG Clichés 73 to 96 / int_d382e2fd	comment	Wherever You Go, There They Are: Wherever the characters go, the villains can always find them. Chances are they're asking the guy in the street (see above). But don't worry — despite being able to find the characters with ease anytime they want to, the bad guys never get rid of them by simply blowing up the tent or hotel they're spending the night in. (Just think of it: the screen dims, the peaceful going-to-sleep-now music plays, then BOOM! Game Over!)
