A Taste of Power: Difference between revisions

* During the Orc campaign of ''[[Warcraft]] III: Reign of Chaos'', in one level the player has to kill a demigod named Cenarious, which is nearly impossible under normal circumstances since, in addition to him having a decent sized base , he has the highest HP of anything you fight in any of the campaigns and divine type armor which means most attacks only do 1 point of damage to him. The way to beat him is completing the main quest in the level which leads you to a fountain of life that's been corrupted by a demon named Mannorath, and the [[Genre Blindness|genre blind]] orc leader Grom Hellscream and his warriors drink the blood. [[Evil Is Not a Toy|This comes back to bite them after the level is over]], but until then, the player gets Chaos orcs, which deal chaos-type damage, meaning max damage to all armor types, including Cenarious', new [[Black Mage]]-type spellcasters called Warlocks, and Hellscream's stats skyrocket.

 

* ''[[Lufia]] and the Fortress of Doom'' starts the player off with a party of very high-level characters, taking on one of the most powerful beings in the game's universe. This turns out to be a flashback that sets up the story for the rest of the game.

** The prequel ''Rise Of The Sinistrals'' has the very same battle and ends with its immediate aftermath.

* ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' had an illusionist at the very start of the game teach you group tactics along with several midlevel NPC friends (who weren't illusory) against swarms of illusory monsters that would have overwhelmed your character normally but which didn't deal any damage.

** And, just to be clear, there was a way to glitch their equipment so it could continue existing well-beyond the tutorial. As many times as you could fit it in your inventory and carry.

* The Hentai RPG ''[[Knights of Xentar]]'' starts your character at the lower-mid levels, with decent stats. However, the moment we're done with the introductory area, the plot depowers you and strips you nude.

* In ''[[Star Wars]]: [[The Force Unleashed]]'', the prologue level is played as Darth Vader. He plays like the normal player character would after being powered up to the max, with all the combos and powers available, except [[Mighty Glacier|he does not have the dash powers]].
