As a side effect of drinking regularly, one's sensitivity to alcohol diminishes, thus requiring more alcohol to achieve the same effect experienced previously.
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Games centred around Barbarians. A barbarian is usually recognised by his/her long flowy hair, loincloth and animal skins, lack of clothes and sword (not the same as cavemen).
Barbarians in games are often known for their brute strength, large size compared to normal humans, appetite for meat and ale, general crudeness, and prowess in melee combat.
In Norse literature, berserkers are described as intense warriors who fought in a wild and uncontrollable fury. Many game have based characters or classes on the concept of these rage-driven warriors.

Dwarves are a short, stout race that appear in any number of fantasy games and stories. They are almost always depicted as short with bushy beards similar to vikings. They can also be identified by their love for ale and gold. Other common trends for Fantasy Dwarves include being proud warriors, favoring axes as their weapon of choice, and being gruff sticklers for tradition and honor.
In the world of Warhammer Fantasy, Dwarfs who feel immense shame, anger, or despair often take "The Slayer's Oath". Once they do this, they become ferocious warriors who are ever searching for death in battle.
A weapon that has been forged and/or imbued with mystical energy, magic, or some other supernatural force. It is often required to solve a specific puzzle, or vanquish an impossible foe.

Everyone that is born has parents. These games feature adults with children of their own.
Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.

A tragic hero is a protagonist who makes several mistakes to fall from glory, or is affected by tragedy and seeks revenge or redemption.
An individual who specializes in armed combat.
