    I say this as a game designer: use the stuff you get. That’s why we put it there. You’ll get more, we promise.

      And then there are games like… Oh, you sold that quest item? Tough luck, restart the whole game and make better decisions lol

          Yeah but achievements exist.

          Maybe I did need to carry that garden gnome throughout the entire game and send it into space.

            I hadn’t really thought of them that way before but you’re right. That is often where the missable stuff is now.

            Then you could get some replay value out of the game. Sometimes I find having goals in the game can help motivate the desire to play, even if I don’t end up going for them.

      But then I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to dump an attache case full of grenades on the head of the last boss in Resident Evil 4!
