There's this feature in Shenmue where you can visit fortunetellers to get hints on your objectives. It's just a really cool way of having a hint system. The type of advice you get varies depending on who you go to, as well. Sometimes you get clear instructions, other times they're more vague. One has a crystal ball that shows you who you need to speak to next.
There's even one in Ryo's hometown in the first game where you'll have these whacked out visions if you visit her, that can't have been cheap to create.

According to Blood, Sweat and Pixels, there was once a bug in Dragon Age Inquisition where you could reach high areas you shouldn't be able to by jumping on Varric's head.

This was in the comments on a Eurogamer article drawing parallels between Columbo and Hitman and I just thought it was hilarious.

I wish there was a developer with the cajones to include something like this today. Would make the true gamer crowd well and truly ripshit.

I just did a speedrun of Oblivion where I completed the main quest in six in-game days.
Then when I got made the Champion of Cyrodiil, I found out the free armour you get takes two weeks to get made. I mean come on guys, I sorted out the entire Oblviion Crisis in less than half of that.

Ah, there really is nothing like withdrawing into a fantasy Japan as the world in general and the country in particular goes down the pan.

Two years on and I finally realised the main villains of Mass Effect Andromeda are called the Ket because that's what all the folks at BioWare Montreal had to be on to make a game that shitty.

Say what you want about Death Stranding, but it's a big ass AAA game, and after 12 hours, the closest I've come to picking up a gun is throwing a grenade made of my own shit at a ghost.

I legit love that when Shepard becomes a Spectre in Mass Effect, the salarian councillor mentions Spectres are born, not trained. Then you unlock the "Spectre Training" skill.

Troy Baker is hilarious in Death Stranding. He just seems to really be on Kojima's wavelength, in a way that makes me wish he'd been around for MGS's early 00s heyday. Some of the cutscenes he's in are like watching a legit talented actor tear it up in some middling panto.
