Manual Misprint? Somehow I doubt it's Tutorial Failure, but maybe...
Edited by Miss_Desperado If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
What's the trope for when the in-game directions in a video game are flat out incorrect?
For example, in Red Dead Redemption 2, if you can't harvest all the parts of an animal you've killed, an in-game tip appears prompting you to throw out unwanted stuff from your inventory to make room. The problem is that you don't have an inventory that's limited to a set amount that can be mixed and matched, you're limited to a certain amount of each type of item. You can only carry five units of Animal Fat and five units of Plump Bird, and throwing out a unit of Plump Bird won't allow you to pick up another unit of Animal Fat even though the game tells you it can.
