Gone Horribly Right
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right: Cantlin's Golem was built to protect the town of Cantlin. As it turns out, the creators didn't specify its directive to be "protect the people of Cantlin", so the Golem focused on protecting the buildings of Cantlin. After watching the human survivors turn on each other when supplies started running low, the Golem came to the conclusion that the biggest threat to the physical town of Cantlin is humans in general and chose to lead the monsters against them, later returning to kill any humans that try to inhabit Cantlin again. The town is essentially protected and preserved, but it made its protector eternally hostile to any human who would actually inhabit the place. Rimuldar was suffering from a horrible blight. Gerontius and his apprentice Illius were searching for a cure, until Illius decided a cure wasn't possible so preventing death itself was a better plan. He indeed figured out a way to cheat death, by turning infected people into undead zombies.

The Virus: Chapter 2's story deals with finding and healing cursed humans. The curse transforms humans into Horks when you get too close. It's possible to cure this curse, but in figuring out how to do it, a few humans will turn, and you'll have to put them down.

Bag of Spilling: Justified. The Dragonlord's magic has wiped away humanity's knowledge and ability to create, which is why you lose some of your crafting recipes between chapters. The ones you retain are altered to use resources available in the new region.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The Sword of Ruin from Chapter 4. It has the highest attack of any equippable weapon in the game (that's including the Sword of Kings), and is practically a Disk One Nuke in said chapter if found early on (once the player gains access to the Giant Mallet, it's only a matter of finding it), but it also prevents you from changing equipped weapons or tools until it breaks. And before you think you can just purify it, doing so will break it.

Beef Gate: In addition to the typical "enemies are too powerful here" example, you can't break certain blocks unless you have a powerful enough tool to do so. In some cases, even you can break certain tough blocks - those blocks still won't give you the appropriate material drop unless broken with higher-end tools.

After the End
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_334e48a1
comment
It's obviously After the End, but the game starts out hopeful enough, with the few surviving humans all cheerful enough and happy to help you rebuild a city in what way they can. Then you visit the last bastion of humanity that existed before the end. It's made abundantly clear that the humans, paranoid, selfish, and crowded as they could be, were doing a perfectly good job wiping themselves out without the monsters getting involved. There's no suggestion the Golem turned on an enduring stronghold - it merely hastened what was already a bloodbath. Then things go back to optimistic almost as soon as you leave the area.

Grave Clouds
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_3c85bc3e
comment
Grave Clouds: Dark purple clouds blanket Alefgard. Only by vanquishing the boss monster that lords over a continent can the clouds be dispersed and the blue skies restored in that region. Subverted in Tantegel: the darkness blanketing the area is so dark and impenetrable that the sky is pitch black. This is probably a Call-Back to Dragon Quest III, in which the same thing happened—to the same place, no less!

 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_4252fdf6
comment
Hyperactive Metabolism: Hunger functions the same as in Minecraft - if you are well-fed, you have a natural Healing Factor; if your hunger falls below a certain point, you lose the regeneration but suffer no other effects. If your hunger meter runs out, you will start losing Hit Points. There's no way to prevent this while adventuring, but you can prevent hunger while at your base if you make the right building.

Guide Dang It!
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Finding potatoes. Where are they? Where you found the Farmer Sutra, similar looking to Healing-Petal Flowers! Figuring out how to build the Cantlin Garden. It has very obtuse requirements. Because you don't have a bucket you have to build it outside of town, which is already counter-intuitive, and you specifically need a midsized plumberry tree: A fully grown tree won't work. Since trees only grow in the town limits, you have to find an appropriate tree and build around it. To make this all worse, exactly one character hints at the goal and only in a non-essential, easily skippable conversation you only see by talking to him when he has no quest to offer you. And nothing, not even his dialogue, indicates that you specifically need a brazier.

Disney Death: In the endgame, Rubiss reveals to the Builder that she only gave them just enough vitality to complete their task, which they exorbitantly used up in forging the MacGuffin artifacts the actual Hero would need to save the world. In spite of that, they go to fight the Dragonlord anyways, and at the end appear to be just barely clinging to life. All implications before the credits roll is they had just enough vitality left in them to speak to everyone at Tantegel one last time... And then, after the credits, they're right back outside the castle with the boys from Kol, already beginning construction on the city, seemingly no worse for wear, and at least several days have gone by. It appears the Builder invoked Screw Destiny even on themselves.

Arc Words: "You are not a hero". The Goddess Rubiss tells the Builder this to reinforce that you are not a traditional RPG Hero, and to make it clear that you won't improve just by killing monsters. It starts to become clear that she means more than just that, however.

comment
Wham Episode: It's obviously After the End, but the game starts out hopeful enough, with the few surviving humans all cheerful enough and happy to help you rebuild a city in what way they can. Then you visit the last bastion of humanity that existed before the end. It's made abundantly clear that the humans, paranoid, selfish, and crowded as they could be, were doing a perfectly good job wiping themselves out without the monsters getting involved. There's no suggestion the Golem turned on an enduring stronghold - it merely hastened what was already a bloodbath. Then things go back to optimistic almost as soon as you leave the area. In Chapter 4, Rubiss reminds you a lot more often that you are not the hero. It is not your job to defeat the Dragonlord: the only reason you were brought back to life was to remake the Sword of Kings, the Auroral Armor, and the Rainbow Drop, so that when the real hero appears, he would have everything he needed to fight the Dragonlord. Of course, there's no telling exactly when the new hero would come: it could be a year from now, or a thousand years, if not more. Once you craft all of those artifacts, the magic Rubiss used to bring you to life begins to fade and she warns you not to attempt to fight the Dragonlord, since doing so would expend your remaining life force quickly. You, of course, proceed to Screw Destiny and do so anyway, heedless of the danger to yourself.

The Chosen Many: The game mentions that there were multiple descendants of Loto who tried to kill the Dragonlord and died; with the latest one taking his offer. If all of the flashbacks are from the Builder's own memories, then they were a descendant of Erdrick who reached the Dragonlord and turned down his deal. Because they lacked the ability to grow stronger from defeating monsters, they weren't strong enough to defeat him on their own and perished in the battle.

If you accept, he declares that you will be given the world's "blackest pits and dankest recesses" and tosses you in a tomb, where you die as the last of the life force Rubiss gave you fades away. Afterwards, you'll be booted back to the Title Screen.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: While managing hunger is key to both adventuring and building efficiently, having to worry about this while building up your settlements can get annoying; build a proper cafe/bistro however and so long as you're within your base your hunger is locked at whatever state it's currently in, allowing you to work at home without having to worry about food intake. Early on in the beginning quests, you get to build a Colossal Coffer; a massive, magical treasure chest that can hold a lot of items and materials. Its most important feature is that you can access it from anywhere in the world, and it automatically receives anything you pick up when your personal inventory is full. This prevents the old problem in Minecraft-esque games of "my inventory's full, now I have to leave all this stuff behind". In Terra Incognita, the other islands can be reset to their original states via the main island's Banner of Hope. This way, you will never be lacking for materials.

Exact Words: In exchange for joining with the Dragonlord, the hero of Dragon Quest was granted half of the world to rule over. Chapter 4, however, reveals that while the Dragonlord made good on his promise, exactly how big the hero's half of the world would be apparently wasn't specified in the deal and instead was determined by the villain. The hero's half thus consists merely of a castle with a sign outside saying "half the world" while everything and everywhere else surrounding it is by default the Dragonlord's half.

Wizard Needs Food Badly
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_ee828827
comment
Wizard Needs Food Badly: The game has a hunger meter, and the Builder will slowly lose health if it is empty. However, the meter doesn't actually show up or begin to drain until Pippa points out that they should be hungry. Given the fact that the Builder is actually dead, their hunger might actually be psychosomatic.

Downer Beginning: The first game's Non-Standard Game Over was chosen, and the world's become a Crapsack World shrouded in darkness. Are you a bad enough dude to rebuild this broken world?

The Power of Friendship
 Dragon Quest Builders (Video Game) / int_faece9aa
comment
The Power of Friendship: A driving force for the Builder within the game. It's their motivation for curing Elle in Chapter 2 and personally taking on Dragonlord in Chapter 4 to save Tantagel from having to continue to live under his shadow for an unknown amount of time until the next Hero appears. It's also what allows the Builder to be able to stand up to and defeat Dragonlord's second form after being stripped of everything but the Sword of Kings.
