I'm starting to hate this in roleplaying games. Yeah sure, the main char saves the world, but in a genre where difference in skills is represented by levels, why do I have to be special? The other 130 allied soldiers in the game fight the same bad guys, they start on level 1 too, we're just luckier (dice rolls; tactical battles, not armies colliding; enemies with roughly the same level). Our char is special, so everyone else, no matter how elite and twice as strong as us dies for some stupid little reason, but ... ah, I trust I made my point.
