There are some well known cliches that have crept into the stories of video games after the years. What has become your least favorite element that is repeated in many games?
For me, it's the "teenage kid saves the world" part of many game stories. It's okay now and then, but it seems like nearly every RPG in recent years uses this approach. I've gotten more than a little sick of it.

The first town, usually the hero's home town, gets destroyed. I've seen that in so many RPGs, I can't remember half of them.

Good side always wins. Never have I EVER seen a game where the good guys lose.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Sword or gun wielder for the main character. I wanna see the hero wield a bow or something else.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!
