Line 5:
Sometimes, the item or ability, or skill isn't needed again. But in other cases, it becomes a key part of the main character's inventory, and gets used all the time. Another Example: You can't get to the other island without a ship, so any plot event that happens on the other island can ''assume'' you have a ship. Thus, the game developers suddenly start throwing quests at you that require you to hop back and forth between islands like a bored tourist, and continue to do so for the rest of the game. In extreme cases, the entire game dynamic may change after you obtain this one critical item or ability, because you are now well-equipped/powerful enough to handle challenges that would have been insurmountable before.
