I really enjoy when Shopkeepers ask you to purchase your old gear, or even better, they already do the math and discount it off the new piece you're about to buy. This is good for RPGs where old gear is not really gonna be used again.
I also really enjoy when games allow you to mix powers, like in super metroid beams or Kirby 64.

When a town in an RPG changes due to an event in the story or chapter.
For example, it gets invaded by bad guys so NPCs are running away, you can fight the enemies in the village or town, and you interact more with the NPCs. This is especially good when the NPCs are well written and theres world building. SMRPG did a good job making mushroom kingdom being invaded by smithy on the first chapter. That makes the most out of a town hub or stage instead of being just a one and done stop.

Something similar is true in ArmA3 main campaign. You can go out of your moderate rebel camp and attack enemy positions to find ammo, supplies, weapons, equipment etc, which you can then use in the missions as you see fit. You will never run out of the essentials though, which makes the entire looting thing kind of unnecessary.
It's fucking satisfying though.

Deus Ex did an alright job of this one, but unfortunately, plot-critical NPCs are unkillable…
Usually.
Some examples of killable NPCs:
>First mission of the game, the NSF leader is killable if you are an undiplomatic jerk, and the UNATCO soldier that talks to you after you capture/kill the leader is also killable, allowing you to get the Assault Rifle early. Doing either of these things will forfeit your op bonus though, and Manderly will comment on the fact that he's launching an investigation if you kill the UNATCO guy. Gunther is not killable here, but you can have some fun with that. Drop all your weapons except a knife before you talk to him and he'll start trying to kill dudes at melee range, including the security Droid which takes practically no damage from melee weapons.
>Anna Navarre is killable on the plane. Killing her will change some of Gunther and Alex's dialog, and obviously means she won't be standing in your way when you later flee UNATCO
>A side quest in Hell's Kitchen can go in many different ways depending on who dies. The dialogue in some of these situations is infamously and unintentionally funny.
>Killing Manderly on the way out of UNATCO will cause Simons to comment on the fact that you saved him some time. Not killing him will cause it to be strongly implied that he was disposed of anyway.
af04fa No.14060020
>>14059977
Oh right, it's also worth noting that even unkillable NPCs actually act like real people when you shoot them. They bleed and flinch like normal, military personnel will start shooting back, civilians will run away. That doesn't really explain why they continue to be friendly with you in dialogue, but it's still a point in the game's favor.

Monkey's paw situation, though when Mcgee did his Q&A here he did say the reason Madness Returns was unfinished was because they ran out of time rather than the usual EA meddling that everyone else suspected. At the least the third game will provide me closure with the series since Mcgee always said he envisioned the Alice games as a trilogy.
>>14062372
Each weapon that Alice has in the first game has a collection of a few unique idle animations with a total of 10(?) weapons. I don't remember if Madness Returns had as many idle animations.
I also love it when your weapons/abilities/attacks visually change as an indication of how your character grows stronger over the course of the game. Nier 1 did this for all of its magic attacks and when you upgraded the weapons. Unfortunately I lost my gallery of the weapon changes as you upgraded them and I am currently a third of the way through rebuilding it since the grind is really high.

There's few things I enjoy more than turning the screws on a game economy, weather it's finding the staples to make cash reliably (I've been selling sofas/furniture in my current Rimworld run for so long I'm paving the floors with silver) or full-on game raping exploits the most egregious being Skyrim's enchanted iron dagger or potion bullshit where you drain the funds of every fucker you meet with ridiculous, yet still shit, items you've cobbled together because the game is broken without you even trying to meddle.

Are you unaware of the existence of Morrowind or something? OpenMW is probably the best modding platform that a Bethesda game will ever be associated with and the mods that existed before it are both much more numerous and superior to Skyrim's. Even modded Oblivion is better than Skyrim, fuck's sake.

It gets to the point where the NPC talks passive aggressive enough that they might kill you. But they clearly we're getting irritated enough if you kept talking to them.

Another aspect of video games that I really love that is also somewhat related to idle animations is little superfluous/flavor/bonus animations like head patting/touching that bring a little life to the characters in the game. Like Kat's lounging animations when she is in her home in Gravity Rush or the cute little slap she gives to the precious gem machines when you activate the challenge missions.

Hit post too early. But speaking of Gravity Rush being able to modify your base/town/city as you fix broken aspects, rennovate old buildings, and just doing general repairs and slowly seeing the fruits of your labors pan out as NPCs begin to fill once empty places and the general class of the population changes from poor country village to a high class villa is amazing. This alone is enough to keep me playing otherwise mediocre to bad games like Assassins Creed 2 when they have this feature.

It's a common one, but games where combat and action are punctuated with comfortable, easy going sequences - e.g. towns - where plot is expanded up and characters are developed. Final Fantasy VII and Tales of Vesperia come to mind.
This same principle can apply to games like RE with the "safe rooms".
Games which don't break up action like this (Doom 3, FF13) are exhausting slogs.

>Could be the Pendant in Dark Souls.
I didn't play much of Dark Souls but the idea is that the item means something to the character, not just that it appears useless to the player.

I think it was Dragon Age 2. The elf is mad when you sell her dead husband's shield.
I think it was early enough in the game that the DA:O team was still working on making it an actual game instead of a stop-gap or whatever they called it.
I just think that there should be tiny bits in the game that aren't relevant from a stats/key items /end game standpoint and more flavor/character building.
Sadly it seems like that is less of a focus in recent offerings. Got to fight the world ending baddie with the biggest sword ever forged out of the moon. Can't just have some dude from a small village wanting to explore the world that holds onto his wooden sword because it means shit to him.

The pendant can mean something to the character if you want it to, with you being able to choose it as a starting gift. Maybe the only reason you didn't completely lose your sanity when you went hollow is because you still had some fragile hope that you could get out yourself and see your family again.

>Morrowind simply handles it by artificially shutting off the MQ to you.
There is only one NPC whose death prevents you from completing the MQ, Yagrum Bagarn. Have you seriously never heard of the back path?
