    So funny yet so satisfying in some games. Villains do their grand monologue and you just curbstomp them like common bandits. Gets really annoying if the game decides to wreck your shit with scripted encounters, though (e.g. teleporting long distance fighters into melee, or boss enemies suddenly gaining immunities to your abilities).

      Or you beat them easily, only for a cutscene to play where they’re kicking your ass and you barely escape with your life.

      Kai Leng pulling this on Thessia killed my Mass Effect playthrough. I was one-shotting you five seconds ago; stop smugging at me like you’re anything other than an author fiat wankfest.

      Honestly, I like the games where all the enemies simply level up along with you. That way you never get the super-boring enemies that you can just walk all over.
