In Response To: Common Plot Elements (poena.dare #CP#g)

*spoilers 'bout Oni*

: Assimilated Friends
: Friends or allies are turned against you.
: - X X X X X - X

Well, the TCTF become your enemy after you rebel, but that doesn't really count, I suppose.

: Multirace Enemies
: Enemies are composed of multiple species.
: X X X X X X - X

What about the Tankers, intelligent (sort of) fighting SLDs (androids)? They sure aren't human.

: Conflicted Enemies
: Enemies, Allied or Non-allied, sometimes fight each other rather than the hero.
: X X X X X - X

Some people discussed the enemy TCTF/enemy Syndicate conflict, but couldn't remember a specific time when enemy TCTF officers fight enemy Strikers. I can. On the inner-powerplant level, when running along one of the energy conduit things, a Tanker with a scramble cannon is in an alcove on one side and a TCTF SWAT is on the other with a plasma rifle. The trooper sometimes fires across the large room and kills the Tanker before firing at you (hard difficulty).

: Exploding Enemies
: One enemy type's only attack is to run up to the hero and explode.
: X X X X X X - X

The bomber-type enemy doesn't only have a bomb attack, but once they've been killed...3-2-1-boom. Considering how weak they are, their major function is to be an obstacle once killed...would that qualify?

: Universal Threat
: Ultimately, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
: X - - X X X X X

Since when is the fate of the universe at risk in Oni? The fate of the world, maybe, but not the universe. Of course, the game's "universe" is the whole world, so that may count.

: Seven
: Repeated references to the number 7.
: - X X X - - - X

I belive there are references to 7 in Oni. I know of at least one: As Konoko says (and is emphasized in the subtitle text): "Griffin made me a monster when I was 07 years old" *pause for breath* "and imprisioned the only man brave enough to try and protect me..."
