In the original Sims, I was 11, and didn’t realize skills improvement would get your sims better jobs.

My sims were all top ranked in the military because that was the best job that required no skills.

For some reason I thought that summoning helpers would reduce the rewards for beating bosses, so I soloed almost the entire game. It wasn’t until the black dragon in the DLC that I caved and summoned help. Later in Dark Souls 2 I found out this is not the case and it just increases the boss health.

I also soloed all of Demon’s Souls for a similar reason. I thought I could avoid invaders that way (its sort of true, but in that one using the item which allows summons also allows invasions). I had found out about world tendencies too and would avoid using those items thinking it would maintain an easier world tendency. Only after beating the game did I look this shit up and find out how it really works.
