History UnusuallyUninterestingSight / VideoGames

** In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', you are capable of giving your [[VirtualPaperDoll customizable]] PlayerCharacter a variety of eye-popping features, such as outlandish face paint, unusual hair color]], or [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation unrealistic skin color]], and none of the characters you meet even bat an eye to it. Even when it is justified by the fact that [[spoiler:all of the humans have artificial bodies]], your character will be the only one in New LA to have such striking features.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series:

* Most of the robots in ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'' don't question the presence of the cat protagonist in their city, even though they're likely the first the citizens have seen in countless centuries. The few that do either panic because they've mistaken the cat for a Zurk terrorizing their village, or otherwise assume they're a type of robot that wears fuzzy hairs on their skin.

* At the start of ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'', the AxCrazy janitor will beat the player character to death with his mop if sufficiently provoked. Judging by the (lack of) reaction given by the teacher and other students, this apparently constitutes a typical Monday morning in kindergarten.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
** [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted]]. After [[spoiler:Fiora]] rejoins your party, you can bring them back to their hometown. [=NPCs=] will actually comment on how surprised and relieved they are to see them still alive, but don't seem to notice the fact that [[spoiler:she's been [[UnwillingRoboticisation turned into a Machina]]]].
** When Shulk and the others finally meet Miqol's daughter, Vanea, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8GMlupVEc no one reacts]] upon seeing that [[StatuesqueStunner she's nearly 7ft. tall]], with her assets on full display, minus her nipples being covered. Or the fact that she's openly wearing a thong.

Or the fact that she's openly wearing a thong.

*** No one bats an eyelid at friendly Super Mutant Fawkes tagging along with you, despite Super Mutants being in the game setting an incredibly feared race of AlwaysChaoticEvil monsters at war with the human race. This is {{handwave}}d with a line of random in-game dialogue in which he suggests that it's because people respect you so much, they trust anyone with you that you aren't shooting yourself. This becomes rather amusing when your character is always in Stealth Mode, and therefore all anyone ever sees is this giant Super Mutant ranting about how much people seem to respect a heat shimmer. However, some {{Non Player Character}}s will refuse to work with you or even open fire on you if they see you with Fawkes or Charon the Ghoul.

Ayla does give special attention to Robo if you bring him with you the first time you go to prehistory, but she just kinda shrugs it off when you're unable to explain what a robot is to her. She also [[IsItSomethingYouEat asks if Frog is edible]] at one point. Chrono's mother has a unique greeting each time you visit her with a new party member in tow. She is somewhat surprised by Frog and Robo, but as they are both polite she accepts them without further comment. In the [[UpdatedRerelease DS version]] she thinks Robo is an invention of Lucca's, but does mistake Frog for an actual frog. Magus also occasionally smirks/giggles at people expressing relief that he's gone. The implication seems to be that while he does look rather strange, he's quite clearly a human and people have a rather exaggerated idea of what he looks like - if they even know at all. Lucca and other 1000 AD scientists can also make robots and they're not out of place in Zeal either. It's possible they were around in 600 AD as well. Frog? Who knows.

--->'''Chie:''' Wow! Check out that [[KansaiRegionalAccent Kansai accent]]!

*** ''Skyrim'' has generally improved upon averting this trope, possibly in response to ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' being mocked relentlessly for its ArtificialAtmosphericActions and TalkingToHimself. Wearing a suit of Ebony armor will draw compliments on your fashion sense, while wearing a suit of Dragonbone will have guards asking you to make them a set. It's also true for some weapons, as guards will react with fear and tell you to "keep that thing away from them" if you're carrying the Mace of [[GodOfEvil Molag Bal]].

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' is already pretty weird, though to the series's credit, most of the major characters recognize that some of their lords, peers, allies, and enemies can be a bit strange. However, not a single person actually seems to notice how absurd [[http://sengokubasara.wikia.com/wiki/Honda_Tadakatsu Honda Tadakatsu]] is even by the standards of the setting, being an individual who can be described as "a Warring States Franchise/{{Gundam}}" without exaggeration. He has rocket boosters, a BackpackCannon, a giant rotary [[ThisIsADrill drill]] [[BladeOnAStick spear]], and laser-armed [[AttackDrone automated attack drones]]. He only speaks in engine noises and is well over twelve feet tall. No one questions ''any'' of this.

*** While most of your party-members are perfectly normal members of the standard galactic races, one of your [=ME2=] party members, Legion, is a member of the geth, a race best known for a genocidal war or two, and a recent devastating attack against the center of galactic government, yet no one seems to really notice. Hilariously enough, an officer in a security checkpoint in said galactic capitol that was set up ''specifically'' to stop geth infiltrators [[FailedASpotCheck fails to recognize him]] and instead assumes that he's an assistant mech, something that Legion comments on. Lampshaded [[playedforlaughs for laughs]] as Legion comments with "geth do not infiltrate" after the officer speaks about the security protocols for geth infiltrators, only to see the officer fail to recognize it, and promptly comment again with "geth do not ''intentionally'' infiltrate".
Possibly justified in that, with the exception of the geth attack on the galactic capital, the geth are an isolationist race whose only violent interaction with organics are in the lawless Terminus Systems, who lack a good communication network. Most normal civilians and security guards don't actually know what a geth looks like and assume the armed robot is a combat mech. The only people who recognize Legion as geth are Anderson, who assumes Legion is a reprogrammed trophy, and various quarians who have their own reasons for not questioning Legion's presence. The only aversion is the security of a quarian civilian ship who will actually stop and yell at you unless you can talk them down.

* In ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'', characters who are unaware of Sissel's existence don't really notice when objects move about on their own, just treating it as a coincidence if and when they do notice. [[spoiler:Which makes it even more of a shock when Beauty addresses you directly thanks to her "sixth sense", and downright terrifying if Yomiel spots you, causing a NonStandardgameOver in the process.]] To be fair, most of the objects that move around are objects that can naturally move around on their own, and often ''do'' in real life. Also, a lot of the time it's justified by the fact that the characters are experiencing events that cause them to not really have the time to ponder why an object has somehow moved. In such events, people would either not notice or just pass the cause off as something they didn't see and concentrate on the life or death situations.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': No-one from any of the worlds seems to worry about how different the main characters are, which is especially weird in the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' world, which is the closest to "the real world" the game gets. They might not seem that unusual to Jack Sparrow given that he's, well, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Jack Sparrow]], but one would expect Will or Elizabeth to be a little surprised to see a talking wizard duck, yet no one seems to care. And the main characters are also so brightly colored in comparison with the rest of the world! Interestingly, Sora and his friends ''do'' comment that this world is weird for some reason they can't quite put their finger on. The only possible justification is that once Will and Elizabeth got into the whole zombie pirates thing, accepting a talking wizard duck wasn't so bad in comparison, but it still doesn't account for the flat-out difference in art styles.
** This is interesting because some worlds have Sora, Donald, and Goofy transform or wear different costumes to fit in (Pride Lands, Atlantica, Halloween Town), but most of them don't. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora and co. actually do get pirate outfits, which makes them stand out ''slightly'' less blatantly. Oddly enough, King Triton actually ''does'' call Sora out on being from another world... but only because he doesn't seem to know how to swim right. Goofy and Donald get no such remarks.

** The series as a whole tends to do this. Your space-age heroes wander pre-industrial worlds where nobody notices their bizarre ears, magical devices, lack of {{Beast M|an}}en appendages, and total ignorance of basic local philosophical concepts, events, politics, and geography, but everyone always immediately notices their machine-made synthetic-fabric clothes.

They might not seem that unusual to Jack Sparrow given that he’s, well, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Jack Sparrow]], but one would expect Will or Elizabeth to be a little surprised to see a talking wizard duck, yet no one seems to care.

** An example unrelated to costumes happens in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''’s “Land of the Dragons” world, based on ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}''. In this retelling of the story, Captain Shang finds out that Mulan is a woman when [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Mushu]] pops out of the snow and starts using female pronouns to refer to her. Rather than being surprised to see a talking dragon, he treats it as completely normal and only focuses on Mulan being a woman, which is apparently the more outlandish event to him. He may have become more used to seeing talking animals after meeting Donald and Goofy, but still.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' is right back to it on the Isle of Armor. Pokémon can follow you there and though there aren’t many trainer battles after the main story, no one notices you have a legendary following you.

** In ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', when Ryuji jokingly suggests that they order a gold bar, Sophia does so, much to everyone's surprise, and it arrives immediately. Are they shocked and horrified? Yes...about the gold bar. Not so much about the fact that, to quote LetsPlay/KagatoTheFinalBoss, the delivery people were able to "get the order, get the thing, put it in a box, seal the box, label it, give it to somebody for delivery, ''drive down, DROP IT OFF,'' '''''[[InstantHomeDelivery IN FIVE SECONDS!]]"''''' The Thieves just remark on how good the service is and actively use it for the whole game.

* ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'': During what should be a normal murder investigation, FBI Agent Francis York Morgan runs into alternate universes, pocket dimensions, ghosts that try to feed themselves to him, demonic dogs, evil rain, and more. At no point in the entire game does he even hint that the situations he finds himself in are in any way out of the ordinary for him.

* In ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' you can swing through the city or even walk around on the streets and most people won't even spare you a second glance. Even better, the game's fast travel method is to take the subway... in full Spider-Man costume. Though given that on the same subway it's possible to strike up a conversation with another guy in a Spidey outfit, it's possible they think you're just a cod player with a really good costume.

Some games have characters namedrop the first Pokémon in the player's party, such as in ** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', where N talks to the lead Pokémon about what kind of trainer the player is at one point. Aside from the usual hilarity of Pokémon gods being in that spot and being treated as any other Pokémon, it can get very silly if that Pokémon is Genesect, a Pokémon whose development N himself cancelled out of revulsion, and thus N makes no comment on you having his rejected superweapon.

** In the games, you can use the [[OlympusMons legendaries]] you caught in battle, and no NonPlayerCharacter opponent will bat an eyelash. Even Arceus, who is the '''God''' of the Pokémon universe. And in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Emerald]]'', some of the Frontier Brains use legendaries, which passes without mention. Maybe it's because they use [[CharacterTiers lower tier]] legendaries, but still... And it's more bizarre in [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=], when your primary Pokémon follows you around at all times out of its Pokéball. Yes, even massive, colorful, one-of-a-kind Legendaries. One trainer who will sometimes call you for a rematch continuously asks if you've seen any legendary birds in your travels - even if a Lugia is flapping its humongous wings right beside you.\\\
In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', a sidequest involves finding the dropped Xtransceiver of an [[spoiler: idol. After you call him/her enough, you can trade Pokemon with her; s/he will then bring that Pokemon to his/her next show on television. What makes it this trope is that you can trade almost ''any'' Pokemon to him/her, and see it be on television. Of course, nobody in the audience nor the announcer bats an eye at the God of the Pokemon universe, the legendary dragons of the region, or a gigantic rock dinosaur that can summon sandstorms indoors.]]\\\

The Rotom Dex in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' finally averts this, having special lines for when you obtain Legendary Pokémon and other special Pokémon, and when a Mythical Pokémon is registered, it reacts in shock.
