10 USELESS Video Game Skills You Were Tricked Into Buying

10. Speed Demon - Project Zomboid

Project Zomboid, the isometric zombie survival game, allows the player to create their own custom survivor by purchasing unique traits and skills. What you pick matters greatly, as you're limited in the amount of points you have to spend, and once you're spawned into the world, you're stuck with whatever traits you picked - both good and bad.

The traits are divided into positive and negative ones; however, you shouldn't trust the in-game distinctions, as some of the bad perks can absolutely prove beneficial, while a handful of the "good" ones just make things harder, like the trait "Speed Demon."

Speed Demon allows you to drive every car in the game faster than normal. The trait sounds useful and fun on paper, but in practice, it's anything but.

Unsuspectingly, driving cars at faster speeds makes them more likely to get into an accident. Not only that, at higher speeds, your accidents are more likely to be lethal.

You basically invest a point into a skill that gives you more opportunities to die in a game already filled with death traps.

Not to mention, there's no point in driving faster in a world where zombies chase after you at the pace of a leisurely stroll.
