20 Basic Video Game Skills That Are Secretly Broken

Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines is the ultimate power fantasy for pale goths and Twilight fans.

The game lets you play as a member of one of seven vampiric clans, each with their own set of incredible blood powers, such as superhuman strength, the ability to turn your blood into deadly projectiles, or bending mortals' minds to your will.

Out of all of these abilities, Obfuscate, the discipline that grants you invisibility, seems pretty tame, especially since at early levels your invisibility breaks every time you interact with objects or even when you move.

However, when you invest points into it, you quickly realize that it's the ultimate skill for winning without fighting.

Because the game has limited amounts of ammo and using disciplines can cost a lot of blood, Obfuscate is perfect for being the most economical with your resources.

Once the discipline allows you to walk while invisible, you can skip past entire levels without firing a single weapon, saving your ammo for boss fights, and since you only need to spend blood to reactivate your invisibility every thirty seconds, you don't spend as many blood points as someone constantly firing off several combat disciplines in a fight.

Who needs combat skills when you can just skip fights entirely?
