Plot Coupon That Does Something: Difference between revisions

* The magic system in ''[[Suikoden]]'' is based around rune fragments, the "true runes" that these fragments come from play an important part in the plots of each game in the series.

* The time suit that gives you your time-bending powers in ''Timeshift'' is also central to the plot, as a similar time suit was used by the [[Big Bad]] to alter history and create the dystopian future you spend the game fighting through.

** [[Geneforge]] [[Older Than They Think|did this earlier]], with the twist that the "canisters" you're using as [[Heart Container|Heart Containers]] and [[Upgrade Artifact|Upgrade Artifacts]] affect you as well as the NPCs you're fighting. [[Parabolic Power Curve|Too many]], and you start picking fights and talking like a psychopath. Way too many, and you may get a [[Downer Ending]]. And heaven help you if {{spoiler|you use the Geneforge}}...

* ''[[Makai Kingdom]]''. Writing wishes in The Sacred Tome is not only what the whole story's about (Zetta using it to recover his netherworld) but is also a central part of the game as it's used to create new facilities, random dungeons, reincarnate characters and unlock bonus content.
