RPGs/Rogue-likes FTW.

What was/is:

1. The most useless item you have ever encountered in any game.

And/Or

2. The most ridiculous(amusing or aggravating) status effect you have ever been plagued with.


For 2 I would have to say lust in the rogue-like Baroque. It makes everything(both items and enemies) look like woman. It annoys the hell outta me. At least it's somewhat more tolerable in first person since I don't have to see the main character walking around looking like a chick.

Hmmm, actually after thinking about 1, I would have to say the cultivating fluid in the same game. I think you're supposed to give it to someone at some point for a certain response but as a regular item when you throw it at an enemy it makes another enemy.

How bout you guys?

I don't understand what you mean by 'Rogue-likes FTW'??

But heres my opinion:

1) The most useless item I've encountered in a game:

I can't really think of one but it would probably have to be....Female fighters, why is it all the females are terrible at attacking but good at magic yet the males are good at attacking an EVENTUALLY reach the same standard as the females with regards to magic! it just annoys me, as ill never use the characters as there useless!

2) Worst/Most annoying status effect:

I hated Berserk Status in the final fantasy games as it would be a mixture of poison, blind, confused and health would kill them? as if they were undead. When the whole party become under Berserk it was a nightmare because they were confused so you couldn't control them and they eventually started killing each other.
The only way to get around it was to have armour etc which was immune to those attacks.

Well i cant think off a Useless item but for Worst/Most annoying status effect i would have to go with the pokemon debuff thing called Confuse.

God when i was younger i got so p****d of with waiting for my turn when the enemy was beating the sh*t out of me while my pokemon was scratching his ass
