"With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, *or persist in the doomed world you have created."* Morrowind didn't mess around when it came to killing essential npc's.
My favourite Morrowind thing, is stealing from the Mage's Guild enchanter in Balmora when she leaves her desk during the Guild missions, since there are really expensive soul gems to steal. However if you ever try and enchant with her in the future she will claim whatever soul you used belongs to her and you get kicked out the guild.
ericb31 that happened to me WHILE I was a member of the Guild. For some reason, they all put the smackdown on you. And the one I did was killing the essential NPC that has no actual relevance to the story, and then spent some 25-odd hours trying to figure out how he fit into the game.
Names can get people attached, in his line of work, someone always ends up dead so it’s kinda smart not asking for Leon’s name just in case he dies a second later
I remember being totally boned in Jr high when Code Veronica came out I was on the plane which i figured was safe and saved the game..only to be attacked by the Tyrant, with 6 pistol rounds and one grenade I remember having to reload 30 times to take him on with the knife so I didn't have to reload back to an ancient save file hahah I learned at a young age always save in new slots but I was being cocky
I remember this one- Final Fantasy 7 When at Gaea's Cliff, you encounter Schizo, a two headed boss who each use either elemental fire and ice attacks. In my team I had Vincent, set on limit one limit break- Galian Beast. Now this limit break is self controlled, with fire based attack called beast flare. My other 2 party members have died in this battle, Vincent remains, uses limit break, and is in battle with the 2 headed boss. He eventually kills the ice based head, however is stuck with the fire head as he absorbs Vincent's fire based attacks and heals, as vincent also heals with fire attacks from the boss. You are therefore stuck in a never ending battle! You cannot escape and are forced to hit the reset button!
Using physical attacks on Omniscient with a in FFV made me do a hard reset. I think I had a berserker in the party or something, so I was clearly asking for it. I’ve also had a Geodude versus Geodude in Poke’mon. We were at max Harden and recoiling against each other, doing more damage to ourselves than to the enemy. But I persevered and somehow won.
@@kgrfirdjy a friend leveled so many materia to max, the duplicates that spawned pushed other materia off the list permanently. The casualty? His underwater materia. Fighting the Emerald Weapon was no longer possible. I'm sure a way to beat emerald without it has been discovered since, but it wasn't known at the time.
I cleared the game on knife only. I didn't care about the Merchant. Still, never killed the guy because: 1-Best RE character ever made 2-He's a Bro 3-You'd have to deal with Princess Peach being your only living "ally"
Goddamn dude, fuck yeah I got stuck in code Veronica on the plane with 4 rounds, a grenade and my knife, my only save And had to fight the tyrant Had no backup saves since I was like 11 and a noob It made it so satisfying to win though
Is it actually possible to beat RE4 with only your knife? I've never tried that, I've done a few different types of runs but the concept of knife only seems to scare me XD
@@Mong00ze-Muzik Not only is it possible, it's actually easier than beating RE 1 to 3 on a Knife. The Knife is actually useful in RE4. Even if you don't want to do the challenge it already helps when you're on a Pistol, you can shoot twice and knife the hell out of an enemy to make them stagger and get some breathing room, or simply to make them vulnerable to your roundhouse kicks.
@Bloody, yeah I get that I just thought it would take way too long and have too many deaths involved for anyone to even try it. Is it easier on some platforms compared to others? Or is it all the same?
Technically there are ways around the Undertale consequence if you do some elaborate file manipulation. Chara you fool. I was always the one in control.
00:01-00:08 "Why should I have to suffer the consequences for things that past me did? She's an idiot." Thank you, Jane. This is brilliant. When I get into a long stretch of procrastination, I eventually break out of it when I realize that if I don't, future me will hate present me even more than present me already hates past me.
I do the same thing when I have to bring some firewood on the porch. "If I don't, I'll get cold. I don't like cold." Yeah, we have a couple little heaters, but those are worthless if the power goes out and you don't know how to start a generator.
With the Undertale one, if I’m not mistaken in order to get an actual genocide route requires not just killing every enemy you face, but farming physically every enemy in every area. You have to go way out of your way to get genocide, basically. However on a smaller scale, if you kill Toriel and then restart, she’ll mention you “look like you saw a ghost”. So that’s similar.
I don't remember what game taught me to have 3 save files. Usually one back at the village, one at the start of the dungeon and one several times as I progress through the dungeon. Or at least some variation of that. I know that it was FFXI that ingrained the habit of ensuring that I always log off at an Inn or at least a safe civilised spot. Using Skyrim as an example (outside of emergencies) I always arrange to end my gaming session with my Dragonborn in her rented room/home after sleeping overnight. Fully rested and ready to go next time I log on.
In Space Quest 4, If you pick up an item in the beginning of the game, it blows up later and kills you. Given that Space Quest 2 punished for NOT taking an item, it's a bit of a Richard Relocation for them to punish you for taking one. Plus, it's an adventure game, you're supposed to snatch everything you can grab!
What was it again, the 'unstable ordnance' ? I forget what actually sets it off, though. There was also the Xenomorph cameo near the end of Space Quest 2: If you didn't recognize the alien, getting "kissed" meant you would die about 30 minutes later (typically just before solving one of the final puzzles).

the skyrim death loop happened to me ONCE in oblivion when i was fairly young from that day onward ive always had gamesave anxiety and it never happened again.
Happened in fallout ten health no heals being chased by a radscorpion and was relatively weak during that point in the game so all i could do was hope i was faster but the radscorpion was well...faster
Right, make sure Billy has both a pistol and a shotgun with plenty of ammo.... The inexperienced 18 year-old girl gets everything else. Including the grenade launcher, machine gun, and the bazooka. What could possibly go wrong?
@@abrakadabra4966 it's like listening to bubble gum pop music, it's only Ood a few times but it also has some preachy bullshit, you get chastised for killing them after a flower tries to kill you, which after that first impression why should you trust them? Sans' fight is cheating bullshit, if you mod it on PC(which is the point of gaming on PC) you get a dirty cheater ending
@@TotallyOriginality Sounds like "Undertale is bullshit" cuz you played the genocide run and got your ass kicked by Sans who was way beyond your skill.
I absolutely *CANNOT* believe that taking the wrong squad setup into the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2, resulting in ME3 plot-crucial squadmates dying, didn't make this list.
@@theamazingmaymay123 Aye, I did the same. Fucked it up the second playthrough though lol. I think it depends who you pick for each task (and you need maximum loyalty as far as I know).
@@user-wj6eq1cx7x Even with max loyalty, if you don't give your unpicked squadmates enough "Defense" value, they might bite it anyway. Thing is, defense is assigned based on a character's weapon proficiency, which is great for harder difficulties, since you don't use them anyway, as instant-effect powers were much more useful than weapons, due to how ME2's enemies ALL had defensive layers and your squadmates got insta-deleted if they stayed out of cover for more than 1 second.
I've screwed myself over in Oblivion by doing the Thieves Guild quest "Ahdarji's Heirloom" before Sanguine's Daedric quest. The Countess of Leyawiin, Alessia Caro, is extremely important to both quests and, before the "Ahdarji's Heirloom" quest, she is marked as essential, but after you complete it her essential status is removed. She travels Chorrol on the 15-17 of every in game month, so she could very easily die on the road, rendering Sanguine's quest incompleteable
You'd have to be in her vicinity when it happens. The game doesn't track things to that level unless it's something actually being rendered and simulated, which only happens when you're near the incident.
the death loop happened to me in fallout 3 when i was swimming around the outside of rivet city. I stayed under too long but hit s checkpoint down near the door to the other half. I had enough air to get ALMOST to the surface, and not enough to figure out where the door was then get to air somewhere after that. I had to drown for 10 seconds at a time, repeatedly. Hopelessly clawing for air at the distant irradiated sun above a surface just inches away. Dead, reload save.
Elder Scrolls Oblivion, when Martin Septim asks for a Daedric artifact the game will direct you to Azura's star, if you're a low level scrub and don't realise what it does. You end up handing it over and permanently destroying one of the most useful items in the game, a reusable soul gem.
yer but wasn't asuras star only a white soul gem so just gave martin the star as i had by that point hundreds of black souls by then so imo the only useful thing about the star is that it's reusable but if like me you have lots of grand soul gems you just find an necromancer alter and bam hundreds of black soul gems that are better than one reusable white soul.
and what in my comment makes you think i'm "acting" like a prepubescent girl because from were i was standing i was just stating why i felt in oblivion the asuras star is probably one of the worst artifacts. but then again these day no ones allowed any real thoughts of there own are they and will get jumped on by asshats like you that think all people should think the exact same as you. but if you truly think i'm wrong how about telling why i'm wrong than just calling me a prepubescent girl.
I think I gave Billy the shotgun and Rebecca the magnum, and things sorted out pretty well. There was a scenario under the church I think were they had to split up, and the room where someone had to be left behind had some suspicious corpses in it. I left Rebecca backed as far away from the bodies as possible and Billy and I went to get whatever key or thingy we needed to proceed. In the middle of a fight, the game tells me Rebecca is in trouble, but it stops while I'm still fighting. When Billy is safe, I switch to Rebecca and find she has shot the freshly risen zombies. Good job, team, we thought ahead. That's not to say I didn't make any mistakes, I think a giant cockroach ate Rebecca once.
I just left Rebecca in safe rooms and gave Billy everything. When the Centurian came around, Billy was fully equipped because Rebecca was only good for solving puzzles and making healing items
I gave Billy the grenade launcher/Pistol and Rebecca the Magnum/Shotgun. Worked out great. The greatest enemy in the game is the inventory mechanics then anything else.
I had a playthrough of new vegas where I was pretty far into side quests and had good weapons and such, sort of friendly with the NCR but not supporting them. I let a friend play while I was entertaining a girl (small house party, they were the only ones still awake)... He decided to start a war with the NCR. It autosaved as he was attacking their base. Still mad at him.
Ugh, I remember exactly that happening. We managed to get out of it after a good 40 tries. We just repeatedly tried to get out the second it loaded. 39 times we just went over with the warthog anyway. The final time, I finally got out early enough that only he went over with it, and thankfully that saved our game and he was able to respawn afterwards since I was still alive.
I actually solved my Skyrim death loop problems. I figured out I can move just a few seconds before my screen loads in so I'll just start sprinting and jumping in random directions until I can see my screen long enough to bring up my menu and neck as many health potions as possible then I absolutely cheese it outta there
@@theuzi8516 that too but I was going off the assumption they play on Xbox mostly lol. I mostly play PC so I'd just use the tgm command really fast before dying
Yeah, for any game where you have an inventory screen which pauses the game, and the ability to carry half-a-supermarket's worth of items, you have to work extra hard to screw yourself over. Heck, in the Pokemon games, getting your game into an unwinnable state is literally an art-form.
There’s a uh... there’s a game named Rise of the Argonauts. In the first level (the only level you can’t return to if I remember correctly) a side-quest pops up with no indication. This side quest is completely optional... or so it seems. You see this side quest, once completed, allows you to throw your spear as Athena blesses your spear with boomerang powers... just with more teleportation... Anyway, last mission comes around and you’ve to defeat the main boss, you’ve got through thick and thin, recruited Hercules and Achilles and other Greek heroes, you can do anything! Except throw your spear... and the main boss knows this... so he decides to fly... and the only way to hurt him? Throw your damn spear!
After loosing characters to sin fuckery, I think I like the way DS2 does it better. Killed an NPC? here is a grave, it will cost you, but they do not remember. Never been much of a fan of "oh you fucked up, well never mind go on." But *GOD DAMN* I didn't hit Quelana.
No one: A game with choices: ..oh and you didn’t pick up that letter from the tax return earlier, so that’s you going bankrupt, getting shot in the leg and also dying in some horrible way involving several vampires, a giant fly and a blunt pencil.
That Skyrim death loop happened to me, but in Fallout 4. I was in a Super Mart and a bandit was shooting at me with his revolver. I was one shot from death, so I panicked and saved just as he shot, leaving the bullet mid air only to kill me a split second later. Luckily, after a few thousand times, I finally managed to time everything perfectly, dodge the bullet and panick run to the door 😅😅😅 no way in hell was i gonna lose nearly 8 hours of progress Lol
Yah, it's actually kinda hard to push through, meticulously hunting down every last survivor, in the evermore silent caverns only accompanied by a dying organist aaaaaaaand then you get dunked on.
Two reasons to go torchless: 1.) You get more loot. If you aren't running mods which expand the inventory in some way then you probably need an antiquarian or four to make it worthwhile. I use the term "worthwhile" loosely because it's probably not going to be cost-effective to keep that team afterwards; if you're good/lucky enough where it is cost-effective, you probably didn't really need the scratch anyway. 2.) You really want to meet the Shambler but don't want to wait until you stumble across the altar. You're a madman, please stop.
I got stuck in an infinite death loop in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Near the end of a particularly frustrating chapter, I moved main character Ephraim over towards the boss, in hopes of finishing him off. Before my turn ended, however, I did a cheeky little quicksave, just in case. This turned out to be a mistake, however, as as soon as my turn ended, the boss killed Ephraim, and I got a game over. I reloaded that quicksave over and over, hoping that the RNG would make the boss randomly miss, but he never did. The only way out of the situation was to restart the chapter from the beginning
Similar thing happened to me in Awakening. Accidentally left Chrom’s in a vulnerable position. Did a quick save, confident that even if he died the first time they would miss eventually (it was only 80% hit rate). Went round dozens of times before I gave up and restarted the chapter. It felt like they had specifically programmed the enemies to never miss straight after a quick save to prevent you from exploiting the RNG like that.
Fire Emblem's RNG works differently from others. It rolls the next several *hundred* numbers at start of battle, so unless you take a different action entirely, you repeating the same action with the same character will always have the same outcome because the number you're using was rolled way back when you started the battle.
randomness72838 spoilers to anyone who hasn’t played Silent Hill 4 yet: In the Apartment World, Henry will be offered a Doll by Walter Sullivan, the doll is harmless if you hold onto it, but putting it in the inventory box in your apartment will cause a lot of hauntings, which will really be a pain in the ass later in the game. So just don’t take it. I took it and found out about the curses after the fact and ended up with one less inventory space. Moral of this story: Don’t accept dolls from strange serial killers you meet in another dimension.
Redfield Run Is that the silent hill game called THE ROOM? If so, that is the only silent hill game I have played. Scared the shit outta me, and made it so I don't think I could play another. I don't recall knowing about the doll item though, so I bet I did out it in my inventory! Do you recall any specifics of hw it would have been any different from the normal weird stuff/hauntings that your room would normally have?
First time I played the game I managed to snipe a merchant from far away, thinking he's one of the monsters, and my joy of crisis averted quickly turned to desperation because I actually needed some supplies, lol
Demon Souls has the worst situation. You save a guy from a cage and hides somewhere in your works hub and if you have neutral or good character alignment he starts killing npcs. By the time I figured it out on my furst play through he killed the npcs for miracles and storage. It was horrible I couldn't store anything anymore and skipped a lot of dropped items.
Oh yea Yurt. He killed at least 1 of my npc's, and then i accidentally attacked Yuria so my nexus was tragic all around. And then I realized Lautrec was the same too late and he killed the firekeeper and i damn near cried
Yurt The Silent Chief, Lautrec The Embraced...Who else? That one fellow from BB I can't recall the name of? At this point seeing a Shotel or two in an NPC's hands is an immediate red flag for your other NPC's lives.
There are always consequences in Skyrim, even when you accidentally walk into a *damning chicken and hit it! Literally when you do that, all of Tamriel will come after you.*
The way that mechanic works is that the last person you talk to that has max affection before you go to the "final boss" will become your love interest. You can do as many side quests as you want, just make sure you talk to whom you want to marry, and no one else, before fighting said boss. This also means that if they are one of the NPCs that disappear after completing their side quest chain (which is most of the story characters), you have to finish that sidequest right before taking on the "final boss." *spoilers* This then happens again in the post game, when you fight the real final boss. Last person with max affection you talk to before doing that will appear in the final cutscene of the game.
>Chugs potions >Doesn't immediately leave the area where they got stuck in a deathloop Come on, guys. This is the solution if you have even an instant to heal enough to escape! (Or if you're in a really tight spot and play on PC, time to get the ol console commands out so you can fix your mistake!)
or you know they could also lower the difficulty because their either obviously playing on a high one to die quickly or have a character with literally no upgraded Health
This video is a perfect example of why you should save at least every 30 seconds, then backup that save on the cloud, then restore and resave your cloud save file. Or more often, but never less.
In some of these videos, I do the opposite: If it’s games I have no interest in, I just stop watching the video. If it’s games I DO like, then I try to guess which parts they mean. Lol.
Choosing Morinth over Samara in Mass Effect 2, ends up a romance opportunity gone, a powerful ally gone and Morinth dies/converts to Reaper spawn in Mass Effect 3!
After flowey in undertale, mom goat did teach you how to play the game as a pacifist. Though to be fair, it was a major confusion for me when mom goat told me to talk to an inanimate manikin when the game conveniently armed me with a stick.

2. I got stuck in a death loop between two mages while discovering a place, the auto save kicked in and I was going to load, but the manual save was five hours ago lol. So I hit the menu button as soon as the loop started, changed my buttons around so my “whirlwind” shout was easier to use. I then resumed the game, died, then when it loaded again, I hit my “shout” button and sped away from the mages blast. That’s how I got out of my Skyrim death loop. It took awhile, but I survived🤣
When you forgot to recruit really good characters in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, by either forgetting to check the talk page at camp, or not trying to talk to the npc Haar when he is just flying around, OR not stepping on the special space in the sand level act 4 (with Micaiaha only) and not recruiting the blade master with the SS rank sword.
I think they forgot to mention that that talking skeleton who pranks you with a whoopee cushion comes back to absolutly destroy you until you quit the game.
I remember finding out you could kill the merchant in resi 4 by complete accident. I first played it on Wii and you would melee by shaking the nunchuck. So me and my brother were fighting over the remotes when suddenly Leon decides to FUCKIN MURDER the merchant. Me and my bro just stood there dumbfounded xD
Either way, the ideal way to deal with stuff like this is equippig enough items with reduced shouting time to be able to shout continuously without cooldown and shouting Ethereal Form and Wuld Nah Kesting out of there as fast as your Voice can carry you. Does not work if the death loop is because you saved while falling into an abyss of the kind that has a killscript that activates when you fall a certain distance into it
@@maverick9275 I think you can kill some side quest characters in Fallout 3, I seem to recall blowing some NPC's head off and seeing "QUEST FAILED" appear when I didn't even have their quest.
Final Fantasy Tactics. Riovanes Castle. You can easily get stuck here if you are underleveled, underprepared, and thus blindsided by the Wiegraf versus Ramza 1v1 fight, or the next stage of the battle against Velius/Belias and are unable to win. If you are saving in only 1 slot, that is it for you, keep trying or restart the entire game, which you are in the last stages of Chapter 3 (of 4) at this point. Twelve year old me was devastated by this on PSX, and now I have the maximum amount of saves every game will allow~
4:25 i never have this problem as growing up playing games like the FFs i save like every 10 minutes or so on multiple slots, it may have even made me a bit paranoid about saving so much so that when i get to a game like RE and my saves are limited i start to worry.
What about Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon? If you don't grind hard enough, you get railroaded into a near impossible boss fight where you die over and over. You can't go back to a shop to buy any more items, and you can't grind much without losing most of your health. The worst part is, every time you get to the boss floor, you have to watch an unskippable cutscene that's practically 5 minutes long.
Only reason I'd disagree is because that aspect of the game is spelled out, whereas these mistakes seem like they're easy to make with no foreknowledge.
Here's a better example: neglecting the chaos system in every Dishonored game. Even if you decide to kill only the targets for a neutral good ending, everytime you get spotted, make too much noise, or perform like Andy in hitman, your in for a world of trouble
Spoilers for Detroit Become Human, but..... if you don't look at the photograph on Hank's kitchen table during a deviant Connor run, that's strike one. And if you don't ask him the right questions at the bridge to get the name of his son, you're screwed by the time you get to the confrontation at CyberLife tower even if you do everything else right.
Well not totally... As seen in Jacksepticeye's playthrough I think, if you guess the right namTe you get the full dialouge explaining his sons death as if he fully knew despite knowing absolutely nothing. It's still a 1 in 4 chance though
I could think of so many games that could fit this list. Fable 2 when your actions as a child affects if your home city turns into a dump with crime everywhere or if it turns into a pleasant city. Mass Effect 2 when not doing loyalty missions means the death of your crew at the end. Another I can think of would be Dragon Age Origins were you can miss out on important comrades by simply not going into the right places. My dad missed out on Sten and Leliana.
Any of the big decisions in The Witcher 3 could count. After the first couple of smaller choices bit me in the arse, I wound up paralysed with indecision every time the options came up. Unleash one plague on the entire populace by trying to reunite tragic sweethearts, and suddenly your friends have to keep investigating the panicked shrieks that accompany your every decision. Good times.
Although I never hit Andre, I almost hit Oswald. After an exhausting fight against the bell gargoyles he basically just appears standing in the shadow. My first reaction was "HOLY F@%$, DIE...wait nonononono, back back".
I hit Andre by accident. I was checking something in the menu and forgot that RB was attack (I wanted to change pages... goddamn, I hate DS' controls). After getting dropkicked in the dick a good 7 times, I finally said "Fuck this." and killed him. ...then I did some research and found out I lost out on a powerful upgrade path in doing so. So that was fun.
Live, Die, Repeat (Edge of Tomorrow) is super good for how underrated that movie is. I love twists on groundhogs day especially when used to their advantage.
Another negative about Genociding first. The characters' knowledge about what you did to them. Because all of the characters in Undertale have the sneaking suspicion that they remember you from somewhere. But it can't POSSIBLY be that time you killed all of them.
In the small milliseconds Mike says "Andre… the..." my mind: "Giant?" Mike: "blacksmith!" Mike: "Using wrestling inspired moves" my mind: "It is him!" Mike: "is Andre the Blacksmith short for Andre the Giant the Blacksmith?" my mind: "YES!"
In the vein of doing something stupid in a bethesda game, consider this: 1) See dogmeat in Fallout 3 2) Accidentally shoot dogmeat 3) Thanks to the Broken Steel DLC, dogmeat has more hitpoints than you can probably cope with if you find it at a low level 4) Congratulations! You now have a nigh unkillable murderpup that will follow you everywhere forever. Hope you saved recently!
@R Lipinski Yeah, there was a perk in broken steel (the same expansion that gave him basically a bajillion hit points) that let you get a new dog if he died.
Darkest Dungeon: Getting your heroes killed Thanks to the permadeath feature, Not only you have to train up a replacement (Or hope the Farmstead DLC brings them back), but you may lose valuable trinkets that the hero had when they died.
@@sonyblank1487 Well sure, but in most of those cases dying means you reload a previous save and try again. Darkest Dungeon autosaves, with no way to turn it off. If you get your best fighters killed, depending on who you have back at base, example: nothing but fodder so low lvl they refuse to go into any of the dungeons; you just lost the entire game. And now you have to start all over again, from the very beginning. Even in Skyrim, you might lose hours, but you aren't *forced* to go all the way back to Helgen.

4:24 this has happened to me before in fallout new Vegas, I was poisoned from a Cazador and entered a shack to use my healing items but I only had 1 tick of health left and I dropped dead in entry. I ended up reloading a save from 2 hours prior to the temporal loop
I had an even more upsetting experience in demon's souls, when the filthy woman in the Valley of Defilement permanently aggroed because rats started attacking her instead of me. It was especially bad considering she is the only seller of valuable poison arrows, and a good source of faintstones if you are doing a faith build.
Activating all shrines in Diablo. Some of them have helpful effects, but others will *permanently* lower your maximum mana to increase the level of a spell. Also there is a type of enemy that permanently lowers your maxium life. When you see yellow zombies, reset the game.
Let me say, in Dark Souls remastered on the switch I once hit the main black Smith because my controllers disconnected and to reconnect you have to hit both L and R which causes you to swing in most cases.

Morrowind didn't mess around when it came to killing essential npc's.
Anyone else started murdering everyone just to find out who's important before doing any quests?
@@floridaman4473 From what I've heard form friends who played that a lot it was possible to accidentally cause this and not notice.
My favourite Morrowind thing, is stealing from the Mage's Guild enchanter in Balmora when she leaves her desk during the Guild missions, since there are really expensive soul gems to steal. However if you ever try and enchant with her in the future she will claim whatever soul you used belongs to her and you get kicked out the guild.
I made the mistake of selling a main-quest essential item without realizing what it was, and had no idea whom it was sold to.
ericb31 that happened to me WHILE I was a member of the Guild. For some reason, they all put the smackdown on you.
And the one I did was killing the essential NPC that has no actual relevance to the story, and then spent some 25-odd hours trying to figure out how he fit into the game.
To be fair, I don't think Leon ever actually gave the merchant his name unlike the other NPCs. That or the merchant has a "no names" policy.
Names can get people attached, in his line of work, someone always ends up dead so it’s kinda smart not asking for Leon’s name just in case he dies a second later

I remember this one- Final Fantasy 7
When at Gaea's Cliff, you encounter Schizo, a two headed boss who each use either elemental fire and ice attacks. In my team I had Vincent, set on limit one limit break- Galian Beast. Now this limit break is self controlled, with fire based attack called beast flare. My other 2 party members have died in this battle, Vincent remains, uses limit break, and is in battle with the 2 headed boss. He eventually kills the ice based head, however is stuck with the fire head as he absorbs Vincent's fire based attacks and heals, as vincent also heals with fire attacks from the boss. You are therefore stuck in a never ending battle! You cannot escape and are forced to hit the reset button!
Using physical attacks on Omniscient with a in FFV made me do a hard reset. I think I had a berserker in the party or something, so I was clearly asking for it.
I’ve also had a Geodude versus Geodude in Poke’mon. We were at max Harden and recoiling against each other, doing more damage to ourselves than to the enemy. But I persevered and somehow won.
Same with that crab boss and Vincent. You can also set up an endless reflect game of catch.
Yikes, and here, I thought Emerald Weapon randomly being stuck on the sunken submarine and instantly wiping out my party was awful.
@@kgrfirdjy a friend leveled so many materia to max, the duplicates that spawned pushed other materia off the list permanently. The casualty? His underwater materia. Fighting the Emerald Weapon was no longer possible. I'm sure a way to beat emerald without it has been discovered since, but it wasn't known at the time.

I cleared the game on knife only. I didn't care about the Merchant. Still, never killed the guy because:
1-Best RE character ever made
2-He's a Bro
3-You'd have to deal with Princess Peach being your only living "ally"
Goddamn dude, fuck yeah
I got stuck in code Veronica on the plane with 4 rounds, a grenade and my knife, my only save
And had to fight the tyrant
Had no backup saves since I was like 11 and a noob
It made it so satisfying to win though
I like Ashley....
Is it actually possible to beat RE4 with only your knife? I've never tried that, I've done a few different types of runs but the concept of knife only seems to scare me XD
@@Mong00ze-Muzik Not only is it possible, it's actually easier than beating RE 1 to 3 on a Knife. The Knife is actually useful in RE4. Even if you don't want to do the challenge it already helps when you're on a Pistol, you can shoot twice and knife the hell out of an enemy to make them stagger and get some breathing room, or simply to make them vulnerable to your roundhouse kicks.
@Bloody, yeah I get that I just thought it would take way too long and have too many deaths involved for anyone to even try it. Is it easier on some platforms compared to others? Or is it all the same?

With the Undertale one, if I’m not mistaken in order to get an actual genocide route requires not just killing every enemy you face, but farming physically every enemy in every area.
You have to go way out of your way to get genocide, basically.
However on a smaller scale, if you kill Toriel and then restart, she’ll mention you “look like you saw a ghost”. So that’s similar.
also flowey's dialog changes depending on what you do.
I don't remember which game 25 years ago that got me into the habit of having 3 rotating saves, but I haven't had a death loop since.
I've always had that habit, in the very rare chance that one file gets corrupted lmao
Ah yes. The rule of three. What gamer doesn't do this?
Far cry 2.
King’s Quest III, bro. Anyone who was into adventure games from the late 80’s/ early 90’s knows what I’m saying. Save early, save often.
I don't remember what game taught me to have 3 save files. Usually one back at the village, one at the start of the dungeon and one several times as I progress through the dungeon. Or at least some variation of that.
I know that it was FFXI that ingrained the habit of ensuring that I always log off at an Inn or at least a safe civilised spot. Using Skyrim as an example (outside of emergencies) I always arrange to end my gaming session with my Dragonborn in her rented room/home after sleeping overnight. Fully rested and ready to go next time I log on.
In Space Quest 4, If you pick up an item in the beginning of the game, it blows up later and kills you. Given that Space Quest 2 punished for NOT taking an item, it's a bit of a Richard Relocation for them to punish you for taking one. Plus, it's an adventure game, you're supposed to snatch everything you can grab!
Tyler Raven ‘Richard Relocation’. Context has never been so important haha.
What was it again, the 'unstable ordnance' ? I forget what actually sets it off, though. There was also the Xenomorph cameo near the end of Space Quest 2: If you didn't recognize the alien, getting "kissed" meant you would die about 30 minutes later (typically just before solving one of the final puzzles).
Oh, it's even meaner than that if you want 100% completion. You _do_ need to pick it up for one point...and then put it down again for another point.

@@asherandai1000 I like the ending.
@@user-wj6eq1cx7x Even with max loyalty, if you don't give your unpicked squadmates enough "Defense" value, they might bite it anyway. Thing is, defense is assigned based on a character's weapon proficiency, which is great for harder difficulties, since you don't use them anyway, as instant-effect powers were much more useful than weapons, due to how ME2's enemies ALL had defensive layers and your squadmates got insta-deleted if they stayed out of cover for more than 1 second.
I've screwed myself over in Oblivion by doing the Thieves Guild quest "Ahdarji's Heirloom" before Sanguine's Daedric quest. The Countess of Leyawiin, Alessia Caro, is extremely important to both quests and, before the "Ahdarji's Heirloom" quest, she is marked as essential, but after you complete it her essential status is removed. She travels Chorrol on the 15-17 of every in game month, so she could very easily die on the road, rendering Sanguine's quest incompleteable
You'd have to be in her vicinity when it happens. The game doesn't track things to that level unless it's something actually being rendered and simulated, which only happens when you're near the incident.

I hear that song on any game over screens that contains the word "dead" or words related to dying lol but yeah, definately for RE0.
I hear that just about ANY time I see a death screen (that isn't Dark Souls or FFX).
the death loop happened to me in fallout 3 when i was swimming around the outside of rivet city. I stayed under too long but hit s checkpoint down near the door to the other half. I had enough air to get ALMOST to the surface, and not enough to figure out where the door was then get to air somewhere after that. I had to drown for 10 seconds at a time, repeatedly. Hopelessly clawing for air at the distant irradiated sun above a surface just inches away. Dead, reload save.
Same thing happened to me.
Elder Scrolls Oblivion, when Martin Septim asks for a Daedric artifact the game will direct you to Azura's star, if you're a low level scrub and don't realise what it does. You end up handing it over and permanently destroying one of the most useful items in the game, a reusable soul gem.
Oh fuck thatd be horrible. I just give over the Savior's Hide or Ebony Blade.
Reusable GRAND Soul Gem IIRC...
*Nods* I did that my first time around. Then again, I didn't level up much and didn't really use any Daedric Artifacts.
yer but wasn't asuras star only a white soul gem so just gave martin the star as i had by that point hundreds of black souls by then so imo the only useful thing about the star is that it's reusable but if like me you have lots of grand soul gems you just find an necromancer alter and bam hundreds of black soul gems that are better than one reusable white soul.
and what in my comment makes you think i'm "acting" like a prepubescent girl because from were i was standing i was just stating why i felt in oblivion the asuras star is probably one of the worst artifacts. but then again these day no ones allowed any real thoughts of there own are they and will get jumped on by asshats like you that think all people should think the exact same as you. but if you truly think i'm wrong how about telling why i'm wrong than just calling me a prepubescent girl.

Right, but in the first one you could just bail out of the fight and come back later.
I think I gave Billy the shotgun and Rebecca the magnum, and things sorted out pretty well. There was a scenario under the church I think were they had to split up, and the room where someone had to be left behind had some suspicious corpses in it. I left Rebecca backed as far away from the bodies as possible and Billy and I went to get whatever key or thingy we needed to proceed. In the middle of a fight, the game tells me Rebecca is in trouble, but it stops while I'm still fighting. When Billy is safe, I switch to Rebecca and find she has shot the freshly risen zombies. Good job, team, we thought ahead. That's not to say I didn't make any mistakes, I think a giant cockroach ate Rebecca once.
I just left Rebecca in safe rooms and gave Billy everything. When the Centurian came around, Billy was fully equipped because Rebecca was only good for solving puzzles and making healing items
I gave Billy the grenade launcher/Pistol and Rebecca the Magnum/Shotgun. Worked out great. The greatest enemy in the game is the inventory mechanics then anything else.
So what y’all are saying is ditch Rebecca and continue on with Billy right?

Two reasons to go torchless:
1.) You get more loot. If you aren't running mods which expand the inventory in some way then you probably need an antiquarian or four to make it worthwhile. I use the term "worthwhile" loosely because it's probably not going to be cost-effective to keep that team afterwards; if you're good/lucky enough where it is cost-effective, you probably didn't really need the scratch anyway.
2.) You really want to meet the Shambler but don't want to wait until you stumble across the altar. You're a madman, please stop.
I got stuck in an infinite death loop in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Near the end of a particularly frustrating chapter, I moved main character Ephraim over towards the boss, in hopes of finishing him off. Before my turn ended, however, I did a cheeky little quicksave, just in case. This turned out to be a mistake, however, as as soon as my turn ended, the boss killed Ephraim, and I got a game over. I reloaded that quicksave over and over, hoping that the RNG would make the boss randomly miss, but he never did. The only way out of the situation was to restart the chapter from the beginning
That sounds really painful and time consuming.
Similar thing happened to me in Awakening. Accidentally left Chrom’s in a vulnerable position. Did a quick save, confident that even if he died the first time they would miss eventually (it was only 80% hit rate). Went round dozens of times before I gave up and restarted the chapter. It felt like they had specifically programmed the enemies to never miss straight after a quick save to prevent you from exploiting the RNG like that.
Fire Emblem's RNG works differently from others. It rolls the next several *hundred* numbers at start of battle, so unless you take a different action entirely, you repeating the same action with the same character will always have the same outcome because the number you're using was rolled way back when you started the battle.

The way that mechanic works is that the last person you talk to that has max affection before you go to the "final boss" will become your love interest. You can do as many side quests as you want, just make sure you talk to whom you want to marry, and no one else, before fighting said boss. This also means that if they are one of the NPCs that disappear after completing their side quest chain (which is most of the story characters), you have to finish that sidequest right before taking on the "final boss."

This then happens again in the post game, when you fight the real final boss. Last person with max affection you talk to before doing that will appear in the final cutscene of the game.

I then resumed the game, died, then when it loaded again, I hit my “shout” button and sped away from the mages blast. That’s how I got out of my Skyrim death loop. It took awhile, but I survived🤣
Undertale really validated my "taking the evil route makes me feel bad" approach to games.
BisectedBrioche nah killing Zeke In Infamous 2 Did It for me, I wasn’t having fun anymore
@@XlM._ same
Infamous game are good for that, when you take the bad route it makes you feel bad after
When you forgot to recruit really good characters in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, by either forgetting to check the talk page at camp, or not trying to talk to the npc Haar when he is just flying around, OR not stepping on the special space in the sand level act 4 (with Micaiaha only) and not recruiting the blade master with the SS rank sword.
dogsrulenw08 same things could be said about character recruitment in the Suikoden games.
Here’s one, Exit The Gungeon. Killing the time reverse blue dude. You then can’t win because of that. Also that’s firsthand experience:(
Let's not forget the merchant in that game either
The moment I saw the title I thought “Undertale”. Now I owe myself a dollar
I thought for undertale it would just be genocide route as a whole, sans 'buff said
Although one can do a file edit to reset to neutral start again.
Me too!!!!
I think they forgot to mention that that talking skeleton who pranks you with a whoopee cushion comes back to absolutly destroy you until you quit the game.
What about when you put all your skills points into the wrong skill?
Hello, old school World of Warcraft
for example: maxing out strength instead of hp and defense
I was definitely expecting "Accidentally shooting somebody/scaring off friendly NPCs/punching your horse in RDR2."
Lol @ punching your horse
I remember finding out you could kill the merchant in resi 4 by complete accident. I first played it on Wii and you would melee by shaking the nunchuck. So me and my brother were fighting over the remotes when suddenly Leon decides to FUCKIN MURDER the merchant. Me and my bro just stood there dumbfounded xD
Lol
That be a bruh moment
4:29 Dormammu I've come to bargain
4:50 well if you're a 36th lvl mage who only uses novice spells you deserve it

Either way, the ideal way to deal with stuff like this is equippig enough items with reduced shouting time to be able to shout continuously without cooldown and shouting Ethereal Form and Wuld Nah Kesting out of there as fast as your Voice can carry you. Does not work if the death loop is because you saved while falling into an abyss of the kind that has a killscript that activates when you fall a certain distance into it
"Like a bloodthirsty elephant" is a phrase I never thought I'd hear in my lifetime. Thank you for setting the standard of culture Mike.
TES III: Morrowind. Killing any NPC needed for any quest. You even get your own warning for the doomed world you create.
Isn't that just Bethesda games in a nutshell?
Nah, most Bethesda games don't allow you to kill NPCS that are needed for quests.
blainy-o93 literally every other Bethesda game after it is impossible to kill a main quest npc. As in the game just won’t let you.
@@maverick9275 I think you can kill some side quest characters in Fallout 3, I seem to recall blowing some NPC's head off and seeing "QUEST FAILED" appear when I didn't even have their quest.
Corthmic yeah those are side quest characters and every single one of them can be killed aside from
Children.
Final Fantasy Tactics. Riovanes Castle. You can easily get stuck here if you are underleveled, underprepared, and thus blindsided by the Wiegraf versus Ramza 1v1 fight, or the next stage of the battle against Velius/Belias and are unable to win. If you are saving in only 1 slot, that is it for you, keep trying or restart the entire game, which you are in the last stages of Chapter 3 (of 4) at this point. Twelve year old me was devastated by this on PSX, and now I have the maximum amount of saves every game will allow~
When you “accidentally” hit the shopkeeper or “borrow” from him in spelunky
When you "accidentally" steal from the shop keeper in Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
4:25 i never have this problem as growing up playing games like the FFs i save like every 10 minutes or so on multiple slots, it may have even made me a bit paranoid about saving so much so that when i get to a game like RE and my saves are limited i start to worry.
What about Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon? If you don't grind hard enough, you get railroaded into a near impossible boss fight where you die over and over. You can't go back to a shop to buy any more items, and you can't grind much without losing most of your health. The worst part is, every time you get to the boss floor, you have to watch an unskippable cutscene that's practically 5 minutes long.
The PTSD with those games is real... every legendary pokemon is just a ball ache if you're not properly prepared.
I know thay feel, bro 😢
Every time I'm about to die in a video game and hit the save button instead of the load one 😥
Inb4 fine that and loaded when trying to save XD
Hit man series is entirely guilty of this. Fallout series is entirely guilty of this. So many games are guilty of this
How bout in dishonored, if you go with the kill everyone tactic the Endgame is extremely more difficult. And it's all your fault
Only reason I'd disagree is because that aspect of the game is spelled out, whereas these mistakes seem like they're easy to make with no foreknowledge.
I just hate how you're an assassin who's not even allowed to kill. Even have to deliver a chick unconscious to the creepiest rapist ever.
In dishonored 2 its the same
But i havent got the easier fight-was to busy to kill my enemies
@@kevgmei You know you can kill and still get the good ending right?
Here's a better example: neglecting the chaos system in every Dishonored game. Even if you decide to kill only the targets for a neutral good ending, everytime you get spotted, make too much noise, or perform like Andy in hitman, your in for a world of trouble

Spoilers for Detroit Become Human, but..... if you don't look at the photograph on Hank's kitchen table during a deviant Connor run, that's strike one. And if you don't ask him the right questions at the bridge to get the name of his son, you're screwed by the time you get to the confrontation at CyberLife tower even if you do everything else right.
Well not totally... As seen in Jacksepticeye's playthrough I think, if you guess the right namTe you get the full dialouge explaining his sons death as if he fully knew despite knowing absolutely nothing. It's still a 1 in 4 chance though
I could think of so many games that could fit this list. Fable 2 when your actions as a child affects if your home city turns into a dump with crime everywhere or if it turns into a pleasant city. Mass Effect 2 when not doing loyalty missions means the death of your crew at the end. Another I can think of would be Dragon Age Origins were you can miss out on important comrades by simply not going into the right places. My dad missed out on Sten and Leliana.
Any of the big decisions in The Witcher 3 could count. After the first couple of smaller choices bit me in the arse, I wound up paralysed with indecision every time the options came up.
Unleash one plague on the entire populace by trying to reunite tragic sweethearts, and suddenly your friends have to keep investigating the panicked shrieks that accompany your every decision. Good times.
Yeah picks up side quest
Me: cool I'll come back and do that after what I'm about to do...
Game: quest failed permanently...
When you steal from the shopkeeper in Spelunky and then have to spend the rest of the run hiding from him.
The laughter and manic grin in the Undertale ending are some serious nightmare material. Not like I wanted to sleep today anyway, thanks.
literally just binged all of the oxventure and am now about to buy tickets to both october shows, so thanks guys
I was just going to watch from the last one I left off on and the next thing I know it's 3 days later and I'm only now on Brawl Of The Wild.
Brings up attacking Blacksmith Andre, which can be fixed with Oswald..but what if you hit Oswald?~
You are truly effd..
Sounds like he'd be into it though.
Although I never hit Andre, I almost hit Oswald. After an exhausting fight against the bell gargoyles he basically just appears standing in the shadow. My first reaction was "HOLY F@%$, DIE...wait nonononono, back back".
I hit Andre by accident. I was checking something in the menu and forgot that RB was attack (I wanted to change pages... goddamn, I hate DS' controls). After getting dropkicked in the dick a good 7 times, I finally said "Fuck this." and killed him.
...then I did some research and found out I lost out on a powerful upgrade path in doing so. So that was fun.
Live, Die, Repeat (Edge of Tomorrow) is super good for how underrated that movie is. I love twists on groundhogs day especially when used to their advantage.
Hollow Knight. Saving Zote. And I had two different opportunities to leave him to die, too. Letting him live was the worst idea imaginable
Why? There is only benefits to rescuing him.
Cons: Zote lives
@@joshbrucks Yeah, like getting your butt royally whooped by his several forms. No thanks, I'd rather not.
When you literally didn't do any loyalty missions before the Final Suicide mission in Mass effect 2.
Ouch
That's why you don't speed run decision based games. :p
@@codypatton2859 unless it's any percent
Zaeed deserved it the prick
What if that was the point?
Another negative about Genociding first. The characters' knowledge about what you did to them. Because all of the characters in Undertale have the sneaking suspicion that they remember you from somewhere. But it can't POSSIBLY be that time you killed all of them.
Yeah I screwed myself over on repeat my whole life and am still screwing myself over.
That hit a bit to Close to home....
In the small milliseconds Mike says "Andre… the..." my mind: "Giant?" Mike: "blacksmith!"
Mike: "Using wrestling inspired moves" my mind: "It is him!"
Mike: "is Andre the Blacksmith short for Andre the Giant the Blacksmith?" my mind: "YES!"
4:20 same problem in fallout between that problem and the glitches that could corrupt your save I always ran 2 manual saves and an auto
In the vein of doing something stupid in a bethesda game, consider this:
1) See dogmeat in Fallout 3
2) Accidentally shoot dogmeat
3) Thanks to the Broken Steel DLC, dogmeat has more hitpoints than you can probably cope with if you find it at a low level
4) Congratulations! You now have a nigh unkillable murderpup that will follow you everywhere forever. Hope you saved recently!
Not when he becomes aggressive the second you shoot him.
@R Lipinski Yeah, there was a perk in broken steel (the same expansion that gave him basically a bajillion hit points) that let you get a new dog if he died.
Darkest Dungeon: Getting your heroes killed
Thanks to the permadeath feature, Not only you have to train up a replacement (Or hope the Farmstead DLC brings them back), but you may lose valuable trinkets that the hero had when they died.
The stress system is literally fatal, and I hate/love it.
@@MurasakiNoKami if there's any game that deserves a mentioning here, this would be it.
@@ladylunaginaofgames40
Agreed
Like saying, "oh man darkest dungeon. You totally screw yourself by making bad decisions and dying."
Isn't that almost every game ever?
@@sonyblank1487
Well sure, but in most of those cases dying means you reload a previous save and try again. Darkest Dungeon autosaves, with no way to turn it off. If you get your best fighters killed, depending on who you have back at base, example: nothing but fodder so low lvl they refuse to go into any of the dungeons; you just lost the entire game. And now you have to start all over again, from the very beginning. Even in Skyrim, you might lose hours, but you aren't *forced* to go all the way back to Helgen.

How is Ellen? Can you all tell her I pray she is doing well.
She's doing ok, still recovering at home the recent heatwave in the UK has been difficult for her, Ellen may have a heart of gold but she's a fighter made of tough stuff. I mentioned you and others messages of support in a tweet, hopefully she saw it.
It's just going to take time for her to recover.

4:24 this has happened to me before in fallout new Vegas, I was poisoned from a Cazador and entered a shack to use my healing items but I only had 1 tick of health left and I dropped dead in entry. I ended up reloading a save from 2 hours prior to the temporal loop
I had an even more upsetting experience in demon's souls, when the filthy woman in the Valley of Defilement permanently aggroed because rats started attacking her instead of me. It was especially bad considering she is the only seller of valuable poison arrows, and a good source of faintstones if you are doing a faith build.

Some of them have helpful effects, but others will *permanently* lower your maximum mana to increase the level of a spell.
Also there is a type of enemy that permanently lowers your maxium life. When you see yellow zombies, reset the game.

Let me say, in Dark Souls remastered on the switch I once hit the main black Smith because my controllers disconnected and to reconnect you have to hit both L and R which causes you to swing in most cases.
