RTFM: Things you didn't know you had in games

When I first played Mass Effect, I beat the entire game without using the cannon on the Mako. I completed every vehicle section using only the machine gun. About 30 seconds after the credits rolled I picked up the manual and read the controls and thought to myself "What the ****, that thing has a cannon?!"

Don't know if this qualifies but I only figured out how to give gifts to party members about 3/4 in to the game...

I'm sure I have more but nothing springs to mind atm.

This was in dragon age...

I can't really think of an instance where I didn't know something was in a game, but I have had times where I didn't want to use a certain feature. For example, squad commands in Mass Effect, or the plasmids in Bioshock.

I had a friend that was pretty inept at video games.

He;

-Didn't know you could repair weapons in Fallout 3

-Didn't know you could arm MCOM's in Bad Company 2

-Didn't know what ammo boxes, defibs or med packs were in BC2

-Never, not once, actually did one of the puzzles in RE4. I always had to do them for him xD

Minecraft crouching so you dont fall off the edge of blocks

Binoculars in Crysis. Didn't know I had them until I saw my brother use them.

I used keybinds for inventory items/spells in Oblivion a lot, but I could never figure out how it worked in FO3/FO:NV... :(

I didn't know how cool the Dead Ringer was in TF2 for a very long time.

- Fast travel in Oblivion

- Use magic skills in Puzzle Quest

- Pause in Jade Empire

- Hold Shift in many ARPG's to show names of dropped items.

never noticing the flashing-signal-icon-thing in Just Cause 2 was a real pain .. especially when trying to get a 100% completion for a villiage/base/etc

Believe it or not guys, I played all through Baldurs Gate 1 (up until the first cave level and boss) WITHOUT using Pause (SpaceBar), since I didn't know you could.....FelipeInside

Wow now that would have sucked, but how did you do?
