I’m really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn’t infinitely produce.
Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools
Using items to win means I’m bad at the game, and mama didn’t raise no coward
Lol this was me just the other day in Baldur’s Gate 3. I got an ability on my Cleric that I could only use ONCE in an entire playthrough. “Yeah I’m going to save this for the final encounter”. Ended up forgetting about it and not using it at all at the end of the game haha.
I used it during a particularly difficult encounter only to learn that those enemies reflected Holy damage -_- instantly killed that character
I know exactly what encounter you are referring to and almost made the exact same mistake. Thankfully I read the enemy buffs before I used it lol.
Arm thy servant (I think it’s called) is the best one. Gives you a weapon that you keep.
Completed Resident Evil 2 back in 1998 with stacks and stacks of explosive, flame and acid round. Regretted saving all those ammo just for them to be gone forever, I could have had more fun with flying or flaming zombies dying all around me. Fast forward to current day, nothing has changed. I’m still a hoarding idiot.
Normally am this way too. Underrail is so difficult at times it makes you use your resources. On a first or second playthrough I routinely used limited consumables and it felt like I was just barely making it.
This subsides a bit once you know the game. But even once resources become more available an emp grenade/ adrenaline shot will turn the tide of fights.
Big ups for Underrail. I’m about 10 hours into my first playthrough and having a blast. I’m concerned I’m going to hit a wall at some point because I didn’t really come into the game with a build in mind, so I’m pretty far from optimized. This far though, I’ve managed to scrape by on luck and buffs, but like you said, it keeps you on the edge.
I can’t say that I’ve ever used a single Megalixir in several Final Fantasy games due to them being limited in supply.
I’m guilty… Even in D&D 🙈
I beat Dark Souls 3 this week and I hoarded embers the whole way. I had a stack of 60 by the time I got to Midir and Gael. I did finally crack into them when I realized that they were the only 2 bosses I had left. So, baby steps I guess
For me, that’s not just rare items. I won’t spend any in game money. I don’t care if it’s readily available on the ground, I’ll still treat it as if I can’t get any more money ever.
Not even on upgrades?
Are you the chosen one who never upgrades their RPG characters equipment and only use their default?
I’m getting to the battle frontier with 30 revives I have not and will not use
And cannot, since battle facilities prohibit items (except the Battle Pyramid, but you can’t bring items in there either, just what you find during a run).
Worst are the games where they expect you to use these things but make it hard to actually use them, potions in CRPGs come to mind (having to manually put potions back in your belt once you use them)
I played outer worlds recently, and there are all sorts of boosting effect foods and drinks in the game. Don’t think I used a single one the entire game.
I’m shit with building load outs with so many variables, playing GoW and I have no idea what status and Runic are. I finished the first one without realising vitality was health.
It’s too much, just give me a progression chart
This is why I play on the hardest difficulty most of the time. Forces me to actually use things.
