10 RPG Encounters You Can Win By Thinking Outside the Box

I love a good, straightforward fight in a video game — some games have amazing combat systems that you just want to experience again and again. That said, sometimes it's really cool when you get to explore different kinds of resolutions to encounters. Maybe there's an alternate quest route, or a weird mechanical interaction, or even some seemingly unrelated exploration and lore collection you did elsewhere in the game bears fruit. Sometimes the game itself has unique mechanic s. Sometimes it's just an exploit, but some exploits are just too funny not to, well, exploit!
