Ever feel like your favorite hero doesn't survive on badassery, more guns, and intellect alone, but that luck also plays its hand?
So yeah, why is it always luck that propels heroes to the end sometimes?
Well, it comes from an interesting chain of logic. If the hero is too badass, has too many guns, and is way too smart, the game comes off as boring. It's all about the conflict. However, in the rush to counter this effect, many game writers go overboard, and end up having to constantly write the character out of shitty situations. Too many times, and this ends up happening.
