An AI companion is a computer-controlled ally who follows and aids you through your adventures or who requires your protection. The AI companion's survival is often essential to game and story progression.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Foreshadowing is a plot device that allows the creators to leave subtle (or not-so-subtle) hints about future events in the game.
Games where you control more than one character, or are a part of a team, and where it is crucial that every team member survives.
Characters controlled by the game for players to interact with, as opposed to player characters which are controlled by whomever is playing the game.
When the routine mission goes horribly wrong, and all your so-called "experienced" teammates bite the dust. You, the rookie, survive of course.
A common feature in MMOs, a placeholder is a generic NPC that occupies the spawn point of a more important, named NPC.
A designer can use a racial stereotype to make a character easier to understand, though in the process the character may come across as offensive and hurtful.
This character has been sacrificed by the game designers to serve as a warning or amusement (probably both). These are the non-player characters who die at the beginning of the game or level.
Any person that is in an Army.
