Although most of you have probably already seen this, it's The Grand List of Console RPG Clichés (http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html) Since it's console, most don't apply to Layo too well - but a few stand out:
- #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...
... 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!

Interesting.
