* In ''[[Dungeon Maker]]'', after the first dungeon you get a pet Mimic Slime. It's great early on because it copies the stats of enemies, but while you get steadily more powerful, the slime does not, and eventually its stats will stop growing altogether.

* In the ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' DLC ''Dead Money'', Dean Domino, despite not being the strongest of the three companions, is easily the most useful. His companion perk allows you to explore the denser concentrations of poisonous clouds without taking damage (temporarily), which is essential if you want to find everything, and he's the only one with a gun. Since there are only three enemies in the DLC, only one of which can shoot back (and even then only five times), he's basically a killing machine if you're not boxed in. The only reason he isn't a total [[Game Breaker]] is because he (and the rest of your companions) disappears about halfway into the main quest.

* ''[[Darklands]]'' allowed choosing age at character creation. Young character started with low skills but had a long life ahead of them, old characters started with decently high skills but aging would destroy them, possibly literally. Since the game's timescale means completion could take generations, the typical solution is a bunch of young guys with one mentor that retires and is replaced once the younger characters can stand on their own.
