>find a key item
>game asks you if you would like to take it
>sudden Yes/No prompt
I've never understood this. Why would anyone say no to picking up an important item? What's the point? Why wouldn't you say yes everytime? I don't think I've ever seen a situation in a game where saying no to picking up an item is actually a good thing unless your inventory in the game was limited but if your inventory was full, you wouldn't have been given the Yes/No prompt in the first place.
Can you imagine if a Mario game asked you every single time you touched a Mushroom if you wanted to pick it up?
>Key that takes up extremely limited inventory space
>"This key is no longer useful, would you like to drop it? Yes/No
Why would I ever pick yes?
>Take item?
>Yes
>Are you sure?

You can set up a lot of surprisesnot that any modern dev ever does

I always got worried it would be lying, and that you actually need it

would be hilarious for games to have one collectible key that's used for absolutely nothing
>Leveling up unlocks specific items
>Reach Max Level
>Unlock item that grants more exp

> Reach max level
> You keep gaining XP and revive the full health/mana bonus when the bar fills although you never actually level up
Sadly I don't think any game actually does this.
>Loading screens in pause menus or main menu navigation before even getting to the game.
>Area of the game that you will be in for a fraction of your playtime has terrible music and/or nothing to do in it and you wonder why the game keeps putting you here.
>items very close to each other and you keep picking up the wrong one because they are inside each other and have no collision with each other

>they are inside each other
