Although most of you have probably already seen this, it's The Grand List of Console RPG Clichés Since it's console, most don't apply to Layo too well - but a few stand out: <ul> [*]#6 - an amazing number of characters (my own included) lost one or both parents as part of their backstory. Sometimes that parent was killed, in fact, by the character. [*]#8 (Exception - the guys in the Wild Surge tavern) [*]#9 (Though I've yet to see all of them in Layo) [*]#12 (Although usually DMs censor those who are too rich and powerful - there can't be that many influential people on the planet, after all.) [*]#17 'nuff said. [*]#20 Staggeringly true, most of the time. Sometimes people take the time to comment on it, and I do try to have my sword away whenever I'm in town. [*]#22 Brings to mind the first time I saw a goblin killed with a violin [*]#24 Where does the pawn shop owner unload his purchases? [*]#25 A necessity of the look/feel of the game, but seriously... [/list]... and so on. Actually, in consideration, a lot of them really do apply! *laughs* Have a look and see if you can't spot a few!
