History GameBreaker / Roleplaying

* In ''{{Suikoden 2}}'', it is possible to access the Knightdom of Matilda very early in the game through a glitch and recruit two strong characters. What makes it a game breaker is that completing the subquest to recruit them is going to eventually bump you up to the mid 30's. Keep in mind that at this point of the game, your level should be in the mid teen which makes the game much easier.

* In ''Fallout: New Vegas,'' if you took the Wild Wasteland perk, [[spoiler:you are able to encounter and kill aliens north of New Vegas. One of them holds the Alien Blaster, which is the absolute most powerful weapon in the game. It scores a critical hit about 90% of the time, and is capable of killing Deathclaws in a single shot. The ''most powerful enemy in the game,'' the Legendary Deathclaw, is killable in 3 shots with this weapon. The only real downside is the rarity of the ammo.]]

* ''NeverwinterNights2'' has Hide in Plain sight. While a powerful (but nothing compared to the quadriatric wizards) in [=PnP=] D&D, the games RealTimeWithPause system breaks it clean in half (could say the combat is [[GamebreakingBug broken]] anyways, but that is another story). A character with the ability can break off from combat and hide (how it works in [=PnP=]), this however is compounded by issues of the real time with pause system. 1.The checks to see if you can see the hiding character don't happen untill the next round, where he is unhiding to attack you anyways. 2.You lose any actions that target the hiding character from your queue 3. Movement and hide are full real time, attacking is turn based. 4. After unhiding to attack, you must wait till the round "finishes" to attack him (see the past 3) 4. A round (how long you must wait to attack) is 6 seconds, hide in plain sight has a cool down of 5 seconds (so you can't attack before he hides again), so decent rhythm means no attacks for the enemy (or you in PvP)

* There's Peach equipped with the Lazy Shell armor in ''SuperMarioRPG''. We're talking about a StaffChick who can heal the entire party at once, status effects and all for 4 MP, revive party members to (almost) full health (if you get a Timed Hit) for only TWO, and almost literally CAN'T DIE.

** How broken Lazy Shell actually is? Well, this troper tried it out on [[ThatOneBoss Culex]]. I put it on Mario and... Well, everyone else was dead, and do you know how [[MarathonBoss boring it is to alone to attack his crystals to prevent them attacking?]] Oh, I think that wearing Lazy Shell makes hope gradually lower... Anyway, almost died(since healing items ended), but I managed to kill Culex alone with Mario.

** Death Hex and Death Cloud, when combined, change from "Critical Hits For Others" or "Damage Over Time" to "[[GameBreaker Die]] [[JustAddBitch Bitch]]".

** Probably the biggest gamebreaker in ''{{Fable}}'' is your ability to carry infinite health and mana potions (which are also ridiculously cheap to buy). This makes you essentially immortal, even before you factor in the game-breaking spells Physical Shield and Time Slow.

*** An accurate time table for getting the Eternal Sphere would be something like this: at about five and a half hours into the game, you'll complete the Lacour Tournament of Arms and receive the Sharp Edge from Grandpa Gamgee, then you need to buy all the skills from the local shop. Then it'll take about two more hours of solo grinding with Claude in the Sanctuary of Linga to acculumate enough SP to raise his Customize skill to 9. You'll also need to invest some points into the Radar skill to get some Mithril much earlier than you're suppose to. Then, with some luck, you'll eventually forge the Sharp Edge into the Minus Sword and then the Minus Sword into the Eternal Sphere. So, about seven and a half to eight hours into the game and you can have, arguably, Claude's best weapon.

* In ''TheWorldEndsWithYou'', you can save yourself the trouble of grinding for rare, [[InfinityPlusOneSword uber-powerful/useful pins and threads]] if you go into Mingle mode and happen to run into someone who has the items in question, then go into their shops under the Friends menu and buy them. As a result, you can buy these items well before you would get them normally in the game.

** And don't forget the three stunning forms: [[ShockAndAwe Storm Dragon]], Paralyzing Palm and [[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty Hidden Fist.]] Each one prevents the target from acting for a fair duration-- Storm Dragon acts like a tazer, Paralyzing Palm does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and Hidden Palm uses dirty tricks to disorient the target (they can still move some, but they can't attack, block or dodge)-- but they don't do damage. On its own, that doesn't seem too bad-- except that using these forms costs you ''nothing'' and it takes less than a second to switch between one form and another (also free). So, you can rapidly switch between your stunner of choice and a damaging martial style, turning any conflict with a human enemy into less of a fight and more a strength exercise. This includes the ''final boss.'' Oh, and all these forms can trigger Harmonic Combos, which allow you to [[strike: one]] two shot Mooks. SoYeah.
