Enemy AI often responds to player actions in ways that are not immediately obvious. For instance, enemies may become more aggressive if you hoard resources, or patrol patterns may shift based on the time spent in an area.
Hidden Stats
Many games track invisible statistics that affect gameplay. These can include things like a stealth rating that changes based on equipment weight, or a luck modifier influenced by recent successes or failures.
Environmental Interactions
Certain environmental objects have properties that are not clearly communicated. For example, some surfaces may be climbable only at specific angles, or certain objects may block enemy detection in ways the visuals do not suggest.
