Things that you will NEVER include in your game, or hope to never see in another's.

Throw my hat into the "young hero" circle. Eighteen I'll let slide, sixteen is a maybe, but when the whole cast is like twelve years old, then it's just ridiculous. Kids are idiots; I know, I used to be one. To hear any kind of poignant or meaningful dialogue coming out of a nine-year-old just seems to false and forced... -_-;

Anyway, I can't think of anything else. Whenever I look at this thread I get my head cluttered with everyone else's thoughts and can't think up anything on my own. *^-^*

Edit

Oh wait, I did think of something. Missable items.

I hate when I get far into a game and, perhaps, open a FAQ to figure out how to beat this really hard boss. Oh, he's easy if you use the Fire Sword? Well, I didn't get the Fire Sword, since it only has a 5% chance of dropping from this one rare boss.

So in my game, there will be no unique items that can be missed.

And the related mate is the rare drops from unique monsters. If you put a super-strong sword on a one-time-only boss with a slim drop rate, guess what? Everyone's going to keep resetting and fighting him again and again until they get that sword. And that's not fun to me.

If you know the way to get an item, that will be the only thing you need in my game. You won't be foiled by a small drop chance. The Super Demon Lord will always have the Ice Shield. And the Super Demon Lord will always appear under certain, non-random conditions. The challenge is figuring them out.
