But how else will I know what number is being displayed in the top right corner of my screen?!InsaneInfadel said:
I'd have to say the compass in Modern Warfare 2 for the simple fact that most people don't even know it's there. Once you find it, it can be useful when you work as a team.
Guns in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. You have a Lightsaber!. Why the hell would you use a gun?
In mass effect 2 when you can call someone up to the captains quaters and sit on the sofa and hug and/or when you can lay in the bed together.
What, you never found the TV sets you could wear on your feet? Yes, shows. I also agree on the other part of your comment.Alfador_VII said:

When I read the topic, I was actually going to reply with the Playboy magazines in Mafia II.Judgement101 said:
That being said, similar "collect these things from a city to gain absolutely nothing" chores have been in nearly all open world games, and they all kinda blow.
That was a shoutout to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Although seeing as it has no purpose and it does nothing, it is kind of gratuitous. The hamster doesn't die, because if he did, Bioware's offices would get firebombed within minutes.mexicola said:
The thing about that is, even if you never would have jumped, as soon as you notice you can't it bothers you the rest of the game.katsumoto03 said:
Oblivion: stealing plates. You will be chased down by the whole damned Imperial Guard for stealing an item worth zip, zero, nada, zilch and has no practical purpose. But somehow plates, cutlery, garden utensils, and all sorts of mundane items that have to cost more than a wedge of cheese don't and can land you with a bounty. What makes me mad about worthless plates? In Morrowind they all had a value and some, particularly early on, could add up to buy you that next set of armor. Best of all was one type of plate set that was worth TONS for being just something put on display (fancy china!).
Singularity: The Centurion Pistol. It's a great concept and could have been awesome if used in a similar role as the Bioshock revolver, but it's just sitting right now in my weapons locker. It's your first weapon but I would often just knife enemies because of a low total ammo stock and it being hard to come by when it was needed most. And then shortly after you find a freaking automatic assault rifle, a shotgun, and a bloody sniper rifle that can slow down time for headshots!

Money in most games.
Games such as Assassin's Creed 2, Red Dead, GTA, Saint's Row etc, by about half way through the game you generally have enough money to buy pretty much everything which therefore makes it redundant.
(Then again my cribs in Saint's Row 2 are shweeeet)

daggers in oblivion might as well use a sword. Aslo some of the magic trees (reducing morale will not help with beasts for example.
the "stealth class" in an fps (if it doesn't have either a cloak, disguise, or jammer.
EDIT:air strikes in mercs 2. Mercs 1's were okay but since when did i have to throw a Damn Smoke Grenade for Misha to See a base that needs to be blown up???? that and you can use sattelites
fo some airstrikes so wtf?
