We've got such a nice list of these for all King's Quest & Laura Bow games over at Sierra Planet, but the site's down while the new co-admin searches for a decent web host. Forum's up though.
In other words, I'd contribute, but my resource of information (obviously not my brain) isn't available. :

Status : Online | Some recent games have gaping plot holes too. In Myst V, Esher could teleport wherever he wanted. He could interact with material obejcts and yet he relied on you to activate switches and work out puzzles even though he knew how to do them himself. Again, keeping on the Myst route. You'd think that having sealed the prison fate of the brothers in the first Myst, that your face would have been marked vividly in their memories seeing as though you were the first person they'd come across in years. And yet, they do not seem to know you in Myst IV.

In GK3, Gabriel & Grace wear different clothes on Day 2 (the same ones on Days 1 & 3 though).
Jim Pearson changes his clothes occasionally in Black Dahlia (thankfully--the story takes place over a few years! )

In the finale of DOTT, the tentacle clones are defeated with a bowling ball that (according to Green Tentacle) Purple Tentacle brought to the mansion after he grew arms. Since the finale takes place on the day prior to the day Purple grew arms, that bowling ball shouldn't exist. Kinda takes the "woah, we've traveled back in time" mystique out of that sequence.
Also, the shape of the country's flag in the credits shouldn't have changed either, since the actions of the trio during the finale "overwrite" all the events of the following day.

Ever played Shenmue 1&2? Not only does Ryo spend MONTHS without showering or changing his clothes, but he has a band-aid on his forehead the entire time too!

| Deleted User | In books they never mention changing clothes ... why should they bother in a Game? Isn't an adventure game made for those who never/seldom read books? Escapism.

Status : Online | I've read many books that describe a person's clothes, and it's pretty obvious that people change their clothes.
But when you have a character on screen, and you control it for days or weeks in game time, it's annoying to have it wear the same clothes. It looks like whoever made the game was being lazy.
And most adventure gamers I know read books. Adventurers like a good plot!

Status : Offline | In The Colonel's Bequest, you can tell Laura to "use toilet." And she will, but not without your POV all of a sudden being in the hallway w/ the door closing in your face.
In The Dagger of Amon Ra, if you use the hand icon on the toilets in the speakeasy, you get this message: "You'd be too embarrassed to go while somebody is watching you. Hold it until the end of the game."
Does that answer your question? :
