* AwesomeButImpractical: Guns, which is pretty unsurprising since the game takes place in 1970s Canada. They can kill wolves in a single hit but that's about the only good thing about their effectiveness. The only thing rarer than the firearms themselves are the bullets needed to use them. The revolver is an especially bad case of this as there are only 3 rounds for it in the entire game, all of which have already been loaded into the chamber when Carl finds it. After spending all three of the shots it's just dead weight taking up space in the player's inventory.
Added DiffLines:
* BoringButPractical: The humble woodcutting axe. It's a melee weapon that doesn't need any ammo and can kill wolves in just a few hits. Considering how rare enemies are in this game as well as a plentiful amount of healing items if Carl takes the time to explore it can easily carry a player through nearly the entire game all by itself.
Added DiffLines:
* EscapeSequence: [[spoiler:The Wendigo]] cannot be killed by any weapon or item in Carl's inventory, once it shows up he has to immediately flee or die.

* ActionizedSequel: The second game significantly reduces the inventory management aspects (you no longer have to worry about matches, firestarter kits, drinking, etc.) while also having more combat. That said, the game is still primarily focused on investigation and exploration rather than shooting.
Added DiffLines:
* InfiniteFlashlight: Your flashlight (and the lantern you can also find and use later) lasts indefinitely. Justified in that the game takes place over a short enough span of time (seemingly just a few hours) that it's reasonable for the flashlight to last the whole game without going out. The sequel has a flashlight that runs out after several minutes, and has you collecting batteries to keep it charged.
