What the hell is it with RPGs

And moments of utter weird shit?  I mean, not ones like Mario & Luigi that kind of constantly revel in weird shit because that's their thing.  But it seems like even relatively serious ones will save it all up for a tremendous moment of WTF out of nowhere, usually near the end of the game.

    Well for example I'm near the end of Avernum 4, plowing through a phalanx of mountain giants to chop off the head of a nationwide conspiracy, and then I stumble on a colony of Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Spiders, who give me a marriage proposition and advice on how to avoid an abdomen cramp.  Or FF4 drowning itself in angst for pretty much the whole thing, then during the climax you go to the moon and find Hummingway.  I could probably think of more.

    But you never had any to begin with.

    Hummingway's entirely optional, though, and besides, this is the same game where you give tails to an old man living underground to make weapons and armour.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    yes

    Don't forget the GIANT FUCKING GORON in OoT.

    Seems to me those moments are not so much 'weird shit' as well as 'comic relief with bad timing'. The only time I've ever seen such switching done well is the Daccat's Island segment of Skies of Arcadia.

    MOTHER series, 'nuff said.

    ^ Doesn't MOTHER revel in weird shit?
