* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] Skyrim'' you have a limited inventory--it is loosely based on the amount of stuff your character could feasibly carry, divided into units--so your character starts with a capacity of 300 units, and gold ingots "weigh" one unit, a heavy armor helmet weighs maybe five units, so on and so forth. Every item in the game you can put into your inventory has a weight--including bees, flowers, and ''butterfly wings'' (thus making Skyrim a place where steel ingots and five butterflies weigh the same). There are only three exceptions to the weight rule: Lockpicks, of which you'll burn five or more per high-level lock, easy. Arrows are also weightless, so being a bad shot isn't so painful. And lastly, the game's currency is also weightless. Thank Divines. |

** Quest items also weigh nothing despite having a weight value (particularly helpful as quest items cannot be dropped), although this can actually lead to problems. If you pick up a common item that's also used in a current quest you can't drop any of them until the quest item is removed by the game (for example, returning the item to it's owner). |

* When you're infiltrating the Shinra Headquarters in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', you have to try and sneak past several patrols of armed soldiers. If they see you, you're forced into a fight. However, if you botch it four times, you'll have ended up killing all the guards and you can just continue on. |

* ''[Bravely Default]]'' not only allows you to speed up all battles to four times their normal speed, there is an ability which lets you automatically kill (gaining full rewards from) enemies 20 or more levels less than you. This is extremely useful in the later part of the game to level up jobs. |
