Abilitease is an aspect of game design wherein a game will provide a glimpse of your full skill-set at or near the start, only to remove most of these skills, stats, and abilities soon after.
Used by protagonists when opening a door that is locked, or just for looking really cool.
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Usually refers to the end of the world.
The End of Days. A concept often used in video games. In most games: the protagonists are working to prevent it, although sometimes the goal is to actually bring about Armageddon yourself.
The player character jumps on the back of an enemy during a battle to take control of them.
Scarring over the eye. Used by game developers to make a character appear more rugged and 'badass'.
Genocide refers to killing on massive scale, often systematic and for political or religous reasons.
Games with characters known for wearing hoods over their heads, whether they be cloaked cultists, assassins, or just guys that keep their hoodies in the upright-and-locked position.
Anthropomorphic beings sent by God to wreak divine havoc. There are traditionally four horsemen, though their roles vary greatly depending on the game.
Equines that go 'neigh' and tend to eat hay. Some are the stars of motion pictures. The truest of companions to many adventurers.
In some action oriented videogames, the player is able to launch enemies into the air, and can sometimes proceed with follow-up attacks.
Characters who possess the ability to "fly", but only for a limited time or by gradually descending.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
Murder is the act of ending the life of another living thing against its will without the sanction of a higher governmental authority, such as the casualties that result from acts of war. It is generally intentional, at least in a legal meaning, but not necessarily.
The offspring of an angel and a human.
Some things that are meant to be hidden can be seen clear as day thanks to innate abilities of certain characters or perhaps by equipping magical items imbued with this ability.
In some video games, souls are used as the unit of currency for in game purchases and upgrades. Turns out that the worth of a person's soul is about 1/500th of that sweet new sword.
Oh no! The last enemy is dead, but all your friends are fallen! How will you ever go on alone?! Wait! Did you hear that sound? That means the battle is over, and all your dead allies can get back up, good as new. You've heard the victory gong.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
