Bosses that you're supposed to lose to.

Androgynous Males.

Woman only using magic or bows/ranged attacks.

Someone in your party double-crossing you about halfway thru.

Love Interests that constantly need saving.

 

I hate it when you spend so much mental energy and virtual items in the game to fight to survive only to find that you have to loose anyway.  If I had known it the first place, I would just let my party fall, save my virtual items, save effort, and save time.
